ONE OF THE MOST VITAL oUEs-
TIoNs OF THE DAY.
If anyone had inforraed Queen Eliza
beth in her palmieit days that she coulC
have been seated in her palace in Lon
don and conversed with Sir Waltel
Raleigh in his North Caroliaa home
receiving a reply from hiEi within au
hours time, she would have declared II
to be a miracle. And yet, had they
lived in the present day. this appareh
miracle would most readily have been
witnessed and not seemed at all strange
or unnatural. The truth is, new prlnci-
pies are coming into existence. and the
operation Of many laws unknown in the
past is being fully understood in the
present. In no way does this fact
come more forci5lY 10 the mind than
in the care and treatment Of the human
body. Millions Of people have died ID
past ages from some Insignificant or
easily controlled cause which is thorou.
ghlg understood now and readily ham
lied. Consumption during the entire
past has been considered an incur.
BILE disease. And yet 1t is demon
strated that it has been and can, be
cured, even after it has had a long ruu.
DR.. Felix Oswald has just contributed
a notable article on this subject 10 the
Popular Science Monthly. He regards
consumption as pulmonary scrofula
The impurities of the blood produce a
constant irritation in the lungs, thus
destroying their delicate tissues and
causing death. His theory shows con.
clusIyely that consumption is blood
disease. 1t has Its origin primarily ir
a deranged condition of the kidneys OIL
liver, the only 1--WE organs Of the body
aside from the lungs that purify the
blood. When the kidneys or liver are
diseased they are in a sore or laceraied
state which communicates poison tC
every ounce OF blood that passes through
them. THIS poisonous blood circulate'
through the syst.m and comes to the
lungs, where tho poison Is deposited
causing decemposit on in the dnely
formed cells Of the lungs. Any diseas
ed part oil the tody has contamlnatin9
power, and the blood, which is the life
Of the system, 10 brought into direct
coutact with these poisoned organs
thus carrying contagion to all parts oi
the body. Biship Jesse T. Peck, D.
D., LII. D., whose death has been SO
recently regretted. is reported to have
died of pneumonia, which medical
authorities affirm indicates diseased
condition Of the kidneys. 1t is well
known moreover, that for several years
he had been the victim Of the severe
kidney trouble, aud the pneumopis
which finally terminated his lie was
only the last result Of the previou:
blood poisoning. The deadly matter
which is left in the lungs by the impure
blood clogs up and finally chokes the
patient. When this is acconplishe
rapidly it is called pneumonia or quick
consumption; when slowly, consump'
ton, but in any event it is the result o
impure blood, caused BY diseased kid
neys and liver.
These are facts of science, ant
vouched for by all the leading physi'
clans Of the day. They show the desi'
rability-nay, the necessity, of keeping
these most important organs 10 perfect
condition, not only to insure health
but also to escape death. 1t has been
fully shown, to the satisfaction OF near
ly every uuprejudlced mind, that War
