hazard nothing in pronouncing inc
average "blood purifier in the general
market a fraud, an imposition, GER
tainly in the pretensions OF what Is
effected by the use of such means oil
purifying the blood, while this is done
so effectually by natural means, or
would be effected if we would but allow
nature to do her own work in her own
way. "Fearfully and wonderfully
made" as this body manifestly is, 1t IS
well calculated to perform all necessary
functions, and would do so, aside from
various disturbing causes, acting in OPP
position to natures sanitary measures.
While this body is constantly wear
ing out, particle by particle actually
diving, to be replaced by new materials
produced by the food daily eaten, it is
absolutely necessary that adequate
| means should be in as constant exer-
else, that the body may be kept pure, I'D
it's normal state.
Added to this natural and necessary
impurty, that caused by the decay OF
minute particles, a great deal OF food
is taken which is unfit for the produc-
ton of pure, new blood much that is
actually undergoing the putrefactlye
process, as the very ''tender' meats,
actually made so by the fact that de-
composition has proceeded so far as to
destroy part of the cohesive attrac-
ton. the fibers easily yielding, which
is called tenderness. Ii more Of
this is taken than can be digested, the
putrefactive process is still continued,
the remains soon becoming sufficiently
putrid to suit the taste of the whole
class of scavengers whose mission il
to devour that which would prove con
Eliminating to the higher orders OF Gre
alton.
These putrescent juices are taken ~
by the absorbents, enter the clrcula
ton, and are carried to the various
depurating organs, that they may b'
elected by the most direct means. Th'
more active and efficient of these arr
the liver and kidneys, each faithful,
performing their duties, at least til
both are poisoned, contaminated
broken down by the excess OF impurl
ties and poison with which they ar
brought in contact in their attempts t.
purify the system. 1t seems to be tn
more especial duty of the kidneys t.
carry off the excess of the nltrates
such as is found in flesh, the victims o
kidney troubles oftener than otherwis
being those who take an excess o
meats. 1t is the more especial mission
of the liver to dispose of the carbons
more particularly the greases and fats
from which fact the victims of liver al
fections are generally excessive in tn
use of such articles.
The breathing of pure air is a yer
important means of purifying tn
blood, which process is constantly j
progress, Just to the extent that the al
is pure, as it will be if unconfineC
: coming in contact with the light OF tn
sun and the leaves of the vegetabl
creation.
: Again, since more than one-half {
the refuse of the body passes o
through the pores of the skin, it b.
comes very important to- have the'
pores open and active, which will b
promoted by cleanliness-'next to go'
Lness."
Last, though not least, pure bloc
can be made only from pure and who'll
some food, so easy of digestion th
none will remain to putrefy in the sy
