lin the editorial columns of the New York in
dVSt, h. Lassing, NJ. d., editor writes the fol-
lowing beautiful description OF the laboratories
OF the human system. We think we have never
read liner or more trustworthy one.
MAN is the greatest of all chemical
isboratorles. 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
needfui heat Is carried into every part of
the system. Electrical forces also eener-
ale and are conveyed to the brain. the
muscles aud the various nerve centers.
In another set of million chambers
we see various gasses and vapors. BY
chemical action these are changed and
Iurlfled IN the lungs and the skin. The
bIood we often say is great living river.
IN Its current are masses which the air
ln 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 are these waste masses
disposed OF? Begin where YOU will in
tnls great stream you must come to the
purifying places of the system. Here
Is ali activity and an invisible force
reaches out into the stream, seizes and
carries this mass of waste into vast
trenches, thence into smaller reservoir,
which regularly discharges its contents.
lhls separation of lime, uric acid and
other waste material from the blood with.
out robbing' it of particle of the life
huld, 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 connect these blood
purifying organs with the brain. They
may not gnaw and bite as does tooth
ache or scratch, but they regularly,
silently report. When these organs are
falling these nerves indicate it by draw
ing 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 grav,
yellow or brown. They also prevent the
puritication of the blood in the lungs and
cause pulmonary difficulties, weariness
and pam. Who enjoys perfect health,
especially III 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 gago hung out her "lanterps of alarm. {"
When the accident" finally comes, its
fatal effect IS seen in a hundred forms:
either as congestion, chronic weakness,
as wrong action, as variable appetite, as
head troubles, as palpitation and irreg-
ularltles 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 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, whoever he may be, who SAYS
1t is a mere cold or slight indisposition.
He knows little, if any, more than you
do about it. He can neither see nor
examine these organs and depends en-
tlrely upon experimental tests, that you
can make as well as he.
''If the output is discolored or muddy,
if it contains albumen, lymph, crystals,
sweet or morbid matter, is red with
escaped blood, or roily with gravel,
-,
and disease ard death are not far away.
"Ihese organs which we have de-
scrlbed thus at length, 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 conceded that the profession
has little known power over them.
What is wanted for such organs is
simple medicine, 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 thou
sands all over the world is Warmers safe
cure. With those In whom disease is
deep seated 1t is the only specific. For
those III whom he seeds are sown and
the beginning of illness started it az M
failing reliance. Itmay be recommended
to the well to prevent sickness and the
sick to prevent death. With IT'S aid the
great filteriDg engines of the system keep
on IN their silent work without interrup-
ton; without it they get out OF gear and
then disease and death opeu the door
and cross the Threshold"
Such writing ought not only to please
but to carry conviction that what Editor
Lassing, NJ. D., so high an authority
says is true and that his counsel is
worthy the attention and heed of all
prudent, right-minded people.
