The Goldsboro star. [volume] (Goldsboro, N.C.) 1881-18??, 1881-06-11


the last century never dreamed, for while the
audiences of the past received what was said
without question, those of the present day are
usually the mental equals or superiors of the
ones who address them Rev. Dr. Tyng OF
New York, when theological student, supplied
church in o neighboring town, and on his
way to preach one morning met an aged colored
man. We'll, Uncle, do you ever goto hear the
young preacher p asked the unfedged doctor
No, Massa, replied the negro, dis chile don't
lot none O. dem students practis on him. The
darkey had begun to think. The free and in
dependent thought of this age accepts state
ments only where they are proven to be truth,
while the development of mental power seems
equally great in every other department of life
The valuable inventions OF the day are counted
by thousands Theincrease of scientific study
is universal The spirit Of inquiry in all fields
is SO marked as to cause
COMMENT ON EVERY SIDE.
wlGlo PEOPLE seem investigating and advancing
in every direction which can help them moral
ly. mentally or physically. This is specially
true 3f the human body and everything which
conternsit, and the truths which the people
have found, even in the last fifty years, are
simply marvellous. How really ignorant some
Cultured and supposedly scientific people were
only few yearsago as compared with the present
day, may be better understood from few illus
trait Q facts A prominent writer prepared an
elat rate essay to prove that steamships could
new cross the Atlantic, and his pamphlet was
issr | Just in time to be carried by the first
steamer that went to England. People once
believed that the heart was the seat of life and
health. It is now known that this organ is only
pump, simply keeping in motion what other
and more important organs OF the body have
created and transformed. 1t was once supposed
that if person felt pain in the back, the liver
was deranged; if q pain came in the lower chest
the lungs were affected and consumption was
near; it is now known that pain in the back
indicates diseased kidneys while troubles in the
lower chest arise from disordered liver and
not imperfect lungs. A severe pain in the head
was once thought to come from some partial
arrangement Of the brain; it is now known that
troubles in other parts Of the body and away
from the head, cause headaches and that only
by removing the cause can the pain be cured.
1t is matter of
PRIVATE HISTORY
that General Washington was bled to death.
His last illness was slight, and caused princi-
pally by WEAKNESS. Aphysician was called who
bled him copiously' Strange to say the
patient became no better. Another doctor was
called, who again took away large amount of
the vital fluid. Thus in succession four physi-
clans drew away the life of great man who was
intended by nature for an old age, and who pre-
maturely died-murdered by malpractice
bled to death. That was the age Of medical
bleedingp
The speaker then graphically described an
other period which came upon the people, in
which they assigned the origin of all diseases to
the stomach, and after showing the falsity of
this theory, and that the kidneys and liver were
the ca,ises of disease, and that many peopleare
suffering from kidney and liver troubles to-day
who do not know, but who should know 1t and
attend to them at once continued
"Let us look at this matter little more
closely. The human body is the most perfect
and yet the most delicate of all created things.
It is capable of the greatest results ard it is
liable to the greatest disorders. The slightest
causes sometimes seem to throw its delicate
machinery out of order while the most simple
and common sense care restores and keeps them
in perfect condition. When it is remembered
that the amount of happiness OF misery we are
to have in this world is dependent upon per-
feet body, is it not strange that simple precau-
tons and care are not exercised? This is one
of the most vital questions Of life. People may
avoid it for the present, but there is certain to
come time in every ones experience when it
must be faced.
"And here pardon me for relating little
personal experience. In the year 1870 found
myself losing both in strength and health. /

cause of physical order and disorder, happiness
and pain, and found the Kidneys and liver to
be the governors, whose motions regulate the
entire system"
After describing at length the Offices of the
kidneys and liver, and their important part IN
life, the doctor went on to say:
Having found this great truth, / saw clearly
the cause of my recovery. The simple vegetable
leaf had used was food and restorer to my
well-nigh exhausted kidneys and liver. It had
come to them when their life was nearly gone

saved me from death. Realizing thegreat bone.
