WHAT SCIENCE SAYS.
The Fearful and Wonderful" Mechanism Of
the Human System Graphically Por-

trayed.
| lin the editorial columns of the New
York Analyst, II. Lassing, M. d.. editor,
writes the following beautiful description
of the laboratories of the human system.
We think we have never read finer or
more trustworthy one.
"Man is the greatest of all chemical
laboratories. 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 a
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 the million cham
bers we see various gases and vapors.
By chemical action these are changed
and purified in the lungs and skin.
The blood we often say is great liv-
ing river. In its currents are masses
which the air in the lungs did not af-
feet: blocks of chalk; slabs of tartar;
pieces of bone-ash, strings of albumen;
drops of malasses, and lines of alco-
hOl. How are these waste masses dis
posed Of? Begin 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 a
smaller reservoir, which regularly dis
charges its contents.
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 blood, purifying 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.
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 con-
meet 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 failing these nerves
indicate it by drawing the blood from
the face and cheek, leaving the lip and
eye blanched, by sending uric acid poi
son 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 pull
monary 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 hun

+ chronic weakness, as wrong action, as
: variable appetite, as head trouble, as
palpitation and Irregularities of the
e heart, as premature decay, as dryness
: and harshness of the skin causing the
hair to drop out or turn gray, as

! "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 a mere cold or a slight in
= disposition. He knows little, if any
4 more than you do about it. He can
neither see nor examine these organs
and depends entirely upon experiment

J eff the output is discolored or mud
dy, lit contains albumen, lymph, crys-
tails, sweet or morbid matter, lis red with
escaped blood, or roily with gravel,
mucous and froth, something is wrong
and disease and death are not far away.
Y "These organs which we have des-
, cribed thus atlength, because they are
really the most important ones in the
: human system, the ones in which a
> large majority of human ailments
originate and are sustained, are the
kidneys. They have not been much
discussed in public because it is conce-
ded that the profession has little known
power over them. What is wanted for
such organs is simple remedy, which
can do no harm to the most delicate
but must be of the greatest 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 seed 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
