WHAT SCIENCE SAYS.
The ssFearful and Wonderful'' Me.
chNnfsm OF the Human System
Graphically Portrayed.

In the editorial columns of the New York
Analyst, FL. Lassing, NJ. D., editor, writes the
following beautiful description of the labora-
tories of the human system. We think we
have never read finer or more trustworthy
one
''Man is the greatest of all chemical
laboratories. Magnifythe smallest cell
of the body and what factory is spread
before the eyes countless chambers in
which are globes of air, masses of solid
matter, globules of dying liquid;
flash comes and the whole is consumed
and needful heat is carried into every
part of the system. Electrical forces
also generate and are conveyed to the
brain, the muscles and the various nerve
centerS.
In another set Of million chambers
we see various gases and vapors. By
chemical action these are changed and
purified in the lungs and the skin. The
blood we often say is great living
river. In its current are masses which
the air in the lungs did not affect;
blocks of chalk; slabs of tartar; pieces
of bone-ash, strings of albumen; drops
of molasses, and lines of alcohol. How
are the waste masses disposed of? Be-
gin where you will in this great stream
you must come to the purifying places
of the system. 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.
This separation of lime, uric acid and
other waste material from the blood
without robbing it of particle of the
life fluid, passes human comprehension.
In health this blood, purifying process
is carried on without our knowledge.
The organs in which it is done are faith
full servants whose work is silent as
long as health remains.
people strangely wait until pain
strikes nerve before they will realize
that they have any trouble. They do
not know that pain concerns chiefly the
exterior not the interior of the body.
A certain set of nerves connect these
blood-puritying organs with the brain.
They may not gnaw and bite as does
the tooth-ache or a scratch, but they
regularly, silently report. When these
organs are failing these nerves indicate
it by drawing the blood from the face
and cheek, leaving the lip and eye
blanched, by sending uric acid poison
into the smallest veins, the skin then
becoming gray, yellow or brown. They
also prevent the publication of the
blood in the lungs and cause pulmona-
rY difficulties, WEAKNESS and pain.
Who enjoys perfect health, especially
in this land where we burn the candle
in one mass? The athlete breaks down
in the race; the editor falls at his desk;
the merchant succumbs in his counting
room. These events should not have
been unexpected for nature long ago
hung out her LANTERNS of alarm.
When the accident" finally comes, its
fatal effect is seen in a hundred forms;
either as congestion, chronic weakness,
as wrong action, as variable appetite,
as head troubles, as palpitation and ir-
Irregularities of the heart, as, premature
decay, as dryness and harshness of the
skin causing the hair to drop out or
turn gray, as apoplexy, as paralysis, as
general debility, blood poisoning, etc.
''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, whoever he may be, who
says it is mere cold or slight indis-
position. He knows little, if any,
more than you do about it. He can
neither see nor examine these organs
and depends entirely upon experiment
tai tests, that you can make as we'll
as he.
eff the output is discolored or mud
dy, ii it contains albumen, lymph, crys-
tails. sweet or morbid matter. is red
with escaped blood, or roily with gravel,
mucus and froth, something is wrong
and disease and death are not far away.
''These organs which we have de-
scribed thus at length, because they
are really the most important ones in
the human system, the ones in which q
large majority of human ailments orig
mate and are sustained, are the kid
neys. They have not been much dis
cussed in public because it is conceded
that the profession has little known
power over them. What is wanted for
such organs is a simple medicine,
which can do no harm to the most deli
cate but must be of the greatest bene-
fit to the afflicted. Such a remedy,
tried and proved by many thousands
all over the world is Warmers Safe
Cure. With those in whom disease is
deep seated it Is the only specific. For
those in whom the seeds are sown and
the beginning of illness started it as
unfailing reliance. 1t may be recon-
mended to the well to prevent sickness
and the sick to prevent death. With
its aid the great filtering engines of the
system keep on in their silent work
without interruption; without it they
get out of gear and then disease and
death open the door and cross the
threshold"
