Portrayed.
lin the editorial columns of the New York
Analyst, II. Lassing, M. D., editor, writes the
following beautiful description of the aborar
tories of the human system We think we
have never read a finer or more trustworthy
one.
"Man is the greatest of all chemical lab
oratories Magnify the smallest cell of
the body and what a factory is spread be-
fore 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 con-
veyed to the brain, the muscles and the va
rious nerve centers.
I'm another set of million chambers we
| see various gases and vapors. By chemic-
al action these are changed and purified
in the lungs and the skin. The blood we
| often say is great living river. In its
current are masses which the air in 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 dis
posed of Begin where you will in this
great stream you must come to the purify
| ing places of the system. Here is all ac-
tivity and an invisible force reaches out
into the stream seizes and carries thismass
of waste into vast trenches, thence into
| smaller reservoir, and finally into larger
reservoir, which regularly discharges its
contents.
"This separation of lime, uric acid and
other waste material from the blood with
out robbing it OF particle of the life fluid,

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 waituntil 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 does the tooth-ache 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
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, WEAKNESS
and pain. Who enjoys perfect health, espe-
pecially in this land where we burn the
