part Of the system. Electrical forces also
generate and are conveyed to the brain, the
muscles and the various nerve centres.
I'm another set of million chambers we

these waste masses disposed of? Begin

must come to the purifying places of the sys-
tern. Here is all activity and an invisible
force reaches out into the stream, seizes and
carries this mass of waste into vast trenches,
thence into smaller reservoir, and finally
into larger reservoir, which regularly dis
charges its contents

"Put no faith then in the wiseacre who
says there is no danger as long as there is no
pain. Put no faith in the physician, who
ever he may be, who says it is mere cold
or a slight indisposition. He knows little, if
any, more than you do about it. He can
neither see nor examine these organs and de-
pends entirely upon experimental tests, that
you can make as well as he.

contains albumen, lympL crystals, sweet or
morbid matter, is red with escaped blood, or

thing is wrong and disease and death are not

"These organs which we have described
thus at length, because they are really the
most important ones in the human system,
the ones in which large majority of human
ailments originate and are sustained, are the
kidneys. They have not been much discussed
in public, because it is conceded that the pro-
fessior has little known power over them.

to carry conviction that what Editor Lass
