The "Fearful and Wonderful" Me-

The Fearful and wonderful Me-
chanism Of the Human system
Graphically Portrayed.
In the editorial columns of the
New York analyst, H. Lassibg, 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-c1untless
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 sys-
TEN. Electrical forces also generate
and are conveyed to the brain, the
muscles and the various nerve centers.
I'm another set OF million chambers
we see various gases and vapors. By
chemical action these are changed and
purified in the lungs and the skin.
The blood we often cay is a great living
river. In its current ara masses which
the air in the lungs did not affect;
blocks Of chalk slabs Of tartar; pieces
of bone-ash, strings of albumeD drops
of molassss and lines of alcohol. How
are these waste masses disposed of?
Begin where you will in this great
stream, you must come 10 the purl-
fyiug places OF the system. Here is
all activity and an invisible force
resches out into the stream, seizes
and carries this mass of waste into
vast trenches, thence into a smaller
reservoir, and finally into a larger
reservoir, which regularly discharges
its contents.
This separation OF lime, uric acid
and other waste material from the
blood without robbing it OF particle
of the life fluid, passes human compre-
hension. In health this blood purify
ing process is carried on without our
knowledge. The organs in which it is
done are faithful servants VIII Sc work
is client as long as health remains.
"People strangely wait until pain
strikes a 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 the toothsche or a 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 blauched, 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 aud cause pulmo-
nary difficulties, WEAKNESS and pain.
Who enjoys perfect health, especially
in this land where we burn the can
die 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 slam
terms of alarm" When the "acci.
dent" finally comes its fa'al effect is
seen in hundred forms; either as
congestion, chronic weakness, as
wrong action, as variable appetite, as
head troubles, as palpitation and ir-
regularities of the heart, IS premature
decay, as dryness and hardness OF
the skin, causing the hair to drop out
or turn gray; as apoplexy, as paraly
sis, as general debility, blood poison
aPut 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 mers cold or slight ind
position. He knows little, if any
more than you do about it. He can
neither see nor examine these organs
and depends entirely upon expert
mental ties s, that you eau make al
well as he.
