SCIENTIFIC TRUTH
REGARDING THE FUNCTIONS OF
AN IMPORTANT ORGAN.
OF Which the Pablo Knows but Little
Worthy Careful Consideration.

the pubic Tine IAclB we nave learned
during the past years, concerning dis
orders of the human Kidneys and the
organs which diseased Kidneys so easily
break down? You are conducting a
Scientific paper, and are unparalleled
except In favor OF TRUTH 1t is needless
TO say, no medical journal OF "Code"
standing would admit these facts for OBJ
vious reasons. III. II. WARNER & co
Proprietors Of warmers Safe Cure. "
That we may emphasize and clearly ex-
plain the relation the kidneys sustain to
the general health, and how much is de-
pendent upon them, we propose, metapho-
really speaking, to take one from the
human body, place In the wash bowl be.
fore us, and examine IL for the public
benefit.
You win imagine that we have before
us body 81 aped like a bean, smooth and
glistening, about four inches in length,
two in width, and one In thickness. 1t
ordinarily weighs In the adult male
about five ounces, but is somewhat
lighter In the female. A small or
gan? you say. But understand, the body
of the average size man contains about
ten quarts of blood, of which every drop
passes through these filters or sewers, as
they may be called, many times day, as
often as through the heart, making q
complete revolution In three minutes
From the blood they separate the waste
material, working away steadily night
and day, sleeping or waking, tireless as
the heart itself, and fully Of as much
vital importauce; removing Impurities
from sixty-fve gallons Of blood each hour
or about forty nine barrels each day, or
9,125 hogsheads q year, What a wonder
that the kidneys can last any length OF
time under the prodigious strain, treated
and negl. cted as they arei
We slice this delicate organ open
lengthwise with our knife, aud will
roughly describe It's interior.
We fad IL to be of q reddish brown
color, soft and easily torn; filled with
hundreds o. little tubes, short and thread
like, starting from the arteries, ending In
little tuft alb ut midway from the out
side opening into cavity Of considerable
size, which is called the pelvis, or roughly
speaking, q sac, which is for the purpose
of holding the water to further undergo
publication before 1t passes down from
hers into the ureters, and so on to the out
side of the body These little tubes are
the filters which do their work automat
ically, and right here is where the disea se
OF the Kidney first begins
Doing the vast amount of work which
they are Obliged 70, from the slightest
irregularity In our habits, from cold from
high living, from stImulants or thous-
and and one other causes which occur
every day, they become somewhat weak
ened in their nerve foice.
What is the RESULT Congestion or
stoppage of the current of blood In the

which become blocked; these delicate
membranes are irritated; Inflammation ia
set up, then pus lie formed, which collects
in the pelvs or sac; the tubes are at frat
partially, and soon are totally, unable u
do their WORK. The pelvic sac goes OF
distending with this corruption, pressing
upon the blood vessels. All this time
remember, the blood, which is entering
the kidneys to be filtered, is passing
through this terrible, disgusting pus, fol
1t cannot take any other route
Stop and think Of it for moment. Dc
you realize the Importance, nay the vita
necessity, of having the kidneys In order.
Can you expect when they are diseased OF
DISTRACTED, no matter how little, that yor
can have pure blood aud escape disease
1t would be just as reasonable IN expect
II pest-house were sc across Bruadwa,
and countless thousands were compelled
to go through its presidential doors, Al
escape from contagien and disease, as fo
one 10 expect the blood TO escape pollu
sion when constantly running through

Now, what l. the RESULT Why, tina
the blood takes up and deposits this POI
son as 1t sweeps along into every organ
into every inch Of muscle tissu flesh an
bone, from your head to your feet. An

weaker than another, q countless train
diseases is established, such as consumI
ton in weak lungs, dyspepsia, where the
is delicate stomach; nervousness, /
sanity, paralysis or heart disease In tho
who have weak nerves.
The heart must soon feel the effects

But the medical profession, learned a

But this is not all the kidneys have
