That we may emphasize and clearly ex-

What wonder that the kidneys can last

We slice this delicate organ open longth-

scribe its Interior
We find IL TO be of n reddish. brown
color soft and easily torn; filled with
hundreds OF little tubes, short and thread
like, starting from the arteries ending in
n little tuft about midway from the out
side opening into n cavity OF considerable
size, which Is called tho pelvis, or, rough
ly-speaking, sac, which is for the purpose
OF holding the water TO further undergo
publication before IL passes down from
here into the ureters, aud so on to the out
side OF the body These little tubes are
thu filters, which do their work automnt-
ical.y, and right here is ioh0e he disease Of ne
