WHAT SCIENCE SAYS.
The "Fearful and Wonderful" Mechanism
OF the Human System Graphically
Portrayed.

Portrayed.
lin the editorial columns of the New York An
alyst, II. Lassing, M. D. editor, writes the follow
ing beautiful description Of the Laboratories Of the
liner or more trustworthy one
MAN is tie greatest OF all chemical labora-
tories. Magnify the 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; fash comes and the whole is con-
sumed 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
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 mo-
lasses, and lines of alcohol. How are these
waste masses disposed Of Begin where you
will in this great stream you must core 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 a
smaller reservoir, and finally into a larger
reservoir, which regularly discharges its con-
tents.
"This separation of lime, uric acid and
other waste material from the blood without
robbing it OF a particle of the life fluid
passes human comprehension. In health this
loodpurifying process is carried on without
our knowledge. The organs in which it is
done are faithful servants whose work is
silent as long as health remains.
HppOnle StrQnpplv wait until main cfrilyaa
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-purifying organs with the brain.
They may not gnaw and bite as does the
tooth-ache or scratch, but they regularly,
silently report. When these organs are fall
ing 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 pulmonary 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 hun
dred forms, either as congestion, chronic
weakness, or wrong action, as variable appe-
title, as head troubles, as palpitation and ir-
regularities of the heart, as premature decay,
as dryness and harshness OF the skin, caus-
ing the hair to drop out or turn gray,
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, who
ever he may be- who says ii is a mere cold or
slight indisposition. He knows little, IL
any, more than you do about it. He can
neither see nor examine these organs, and
depends entirely upon experimental tests,
that you can make as well as he.
"If the output Is discolored or muddy, If
il contains albumen, lymph, crystals, sweet
or morbid matter, is red with escaped blood,
or roily with gravel mucus and froth, some
thing is wrong, and disease and death are not
far away.
''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 hui
man ailments originate and are sustained
are the kidneys. They have not been much
discussed 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 delicate but must be of the great
est benefit to the afflicted. Such 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 il as unfailing reliance. 1t
may be recommended to the well to prevent
sickness and the sick to prevent death. With
its aid the great flterlng engines of the sys-
TEN keep on in their silent work without in
terruption, without it they get out of gear
and then disease and death open the door and
cross the threshold.
Such writing ought not only to please but
to carry conviction that what Editor Lass
ing, NJ. D.,-sO high an authority-says is
true, and that his counsel is worthy the at
tention and heed Of all prudent, right
minded people.
