The spleen Is like a sponge, and susceptible
Of great expansion and contraction without
injury-is, indeed, like the air chamber Of a
FIRE engine, which serves as a cushion for the
water to press against, accommodating itself
to the amount Of pleasure brought against il,
and securing a steady, unremIttlng flow or
stream. The blood passes through the spleen.

In fever the same result follows, the fever
being the exciting cause. When malarial, the
blood Is thick with poison, and the heart finds
great difficulty in performing its work, es-
pecially in the extremities---like the engine
forcing water through a small pipe OF nozzle
instead OF open hose. The small vessels are
easily clogged, and offer a resistance to the
blood circulation, and thus bring into use and
make peeessary the Office Of the spleen. IT

Now, then, inasmuch as the stomachs are
the great reservoirs from which the entire
system is sustained, it will be readily seen, il
the gastric juice in the first stomach lacks
sufficient quantity, then fermentation and de-
cay Of the food follow as a notwithstanding
large quantities Of gas, Tactic acid and other
poisonous substances-and it must pass into
the second stomach. a vile, vitiated poison.
Neither juices Of the panereas, the bile, nor
any other known property can ever restore il
to the condition nature first intended, and il
is the vile poisons. mixed with poor fluids,
chemically changed, that begin their circuit
through the system, first attacking the liver,
then the heart, thence to the kidneys, then
the lungs, then the skin, and finally permeat-
