part OF lh1 system. Electrical forces also
generate and are conveyed to the brain, the
muscles and the various nerve centres
In another set of million chambers we
see various gases and vapors By chemical
a'tion these are changed and purified in the
lungs and the skin. The bio I'd we often saw
is great living river In its current are
masses which the air in the lungs did not af-

OF bone-ash, string; of albumen; drops of

these waste masses d sposei of? BERN

force reaches out into the stream seizes and
carries IN S mass OF waste into vast trenches,
thence into a smaller reservoir and finally
into larger reservoir, which regularly dis
charges its contents.
This separation of lime, uric acid and other
waste material from the blood, without rob
blng it of a particle of the lie fluid, passes
human comprehension In health this blood,
purifying process is carried on without our
knowledge. The organs in viii h it is done
are faithful servants whose work is silent a,
long as health remains.
"feople strangely wat until pain strikes a

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, w ari-
ness and pa n. Who enjoys perfect health,

These events should not have been I'M

accident" finally comes, its fatal effect is
seen in hundred FORMS either as conges-
ton, chronic weakness as wrong action as
variable appetite, as head troubles, as palpi-
tation and Irregularities of the heart, as
premature decay, as dryness and harshness
OF the SKIN, causing the hair to drop out or
turn gray, as apoplexy, as paralysis, as gen
eral 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 it is mere cold
or Sight indisposition. He knows little, if
any, more than you do about it. He can
neither nor examine these organs AMI de-
ponds entirely upon experimental tests, that
you can make as wei as he.
"lf the output is discoored or muddy, if it
contains albumen, lymph, crystals sweet or
morbid matter, is red with escaped blood, or
roily with gravel, mucous 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 ma iority of human
ailments originate and are sustained, are the
kidneys. They have not been muc h discussed
in public, because it is conceded that the pro-
fessioE 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 lie 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 seeds are sown and the beginning
of illness started it is an unfailing reliance
1t may be recommended to the well to pre-
vent Sickness and the sick to prevent death
With its aid the great filtaring engines of the
system keep on i'll their silent work without
interruption; 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, M. 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.
