Ism OF the Human system Graphically
Portrayed.
lin the editorial columns of the New York
ARdtgst, II. Lasting, NJ d., editor, writes the fol-
lowing beautiful description of the laboratories
oi the human system We think we have never
read finer or more trustworthy one.l
Man Is the greatest OF all chemical la
boratories. Magnify the smallest cell of
the body and what factory is spread be-
fore the eyes, countless chambers in which
are globes OF air, masses of solid matter,
globules OF dying liquid; fash comes and
! the whole is consumed and needful heat is
carried into every part of the system. Flec-
trcal forces also generate and are conveyed
TO the brain, the muscles and the various
nerve centers.
In 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 c{ten
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 disposed Of?
Begin where you will in this great stream
you must come TO the purifying places of
the system. Here is all activity and an in
visible force reaches out into the stream,
I
vast trenches, thence into smaller reser-
yoir, and finally into a larger reservoir
which regularly discharges its contents
This separation of lime, uric acid aad
other waste material from the blood with
| out robbing 1t of IA particle of the life fluid
passes human comprehension. In health
this b.ood-purifying process is carried on
without our knowledge. The organs in
which 1t is done are faithful servants whose
work is silent as long as health remains.
People strangely wait until pain strikes
IA 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 toothaehe or scratch. but
they regularly silently report. When these
organs are failing these nerves indicate it
| by drawing the blood from the face and
cheek, leaYing the lip and eye blanched
| by sending uric acid poison into the small
est 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, especially
IN this land where we burn the candle in
| one mass? The athlete breaks down in
! the race; the editor falls al his desk; the
merchant succumbs in his countng-room.
! These events should not have been unex-
| pected, Tor nature long ago hung out her
! lanterns 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 va
riabie appetite, as head troubles, as palpita-
! ton and irregularities of the heart, as pre-
mature decay as drynes5 and harshness Oh
!
gray, as apoplexy, rs 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 saws it is a mere
cold or slight indisposition. He knows
| little if any more than you do about it. lie
can neither see nor examine these organs.
and depends entirely upon experimental
tests that you can make as well ms 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, mucus and froth,
something 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
J the ones in which large majority of hui
man 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 great
est 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 sowr and the beginning of illness
started it is an unfailing reliance. 1t may be
recommended to the well to prevent sick
ness and the sick to prevent death. With
its aid the great filtering engines of the sys-
tenn keep on in 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, NJ. 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.
