Analyst, H. Lasting. n. D., editor, writes the
following beautiful description Of the ia6ora.

the body and what factory is spread be-
fore 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 con-
veyed to the brain, the muscles and the va
rious nerve centers.
I'm another set Of q million chambers We
sec various gases and vapors By chemic-
al action these are changed and purlhed
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 arc these waste masses dis
great stream you must come to the purify
ing places of the system. Here is all &C
tivity and an invisible force reaches out
into the stream, seizss aud carries this mass
of waste into vast trenches, thence into q
smaller reservoir, and finally into larger
contents.
"This separation Of lime, uric acid and
other waste material from the blood with
out robbing it Of q particle Of the life fluid,
passes human comprehension. In health
this blood-purifying process Is carried on

which it is done are faithful servants whose
work is silent as long as health remains.
"People strangely waituntil pain strikes
. nerve before they will realize that they
pain concerns chiefly the exterior not the
interior of the body. A certain set of
nerves connect these blood-purifying
organs with tho brain. They may not
gnaw end bite as does the tooth-ache or
scratch, but they regularly. silently report
indicate it by drawing the blood from tho
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

"Thess organs which We have described

most important ones in the human " stem,
the ones in which q large majority of hu-
man ailments originate and are sustained,
are the kidneys They have not been much
