WHAT sc. ENCE SAYS
The Fearful and Wonderful" Mechanism y:
the Human System Graphically Por-
trayed

uhyeu'
lin the editorial columns of the New
York Aaalst ii. Lassing, 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 be-
fore the eyes countless chambers in which
are globes of air, masses of solid matter,
globules Of dying liquid 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
various nerve centers.
In another set of a million chambers we
see various gases and vapors. By chem
ical action these are changed and
purified in the lungs and the skin.
The blood we often say is great
masses which the air in the lungs did not
affect; blocks of chalk: slabs of tarter;
pieces of bone-ash, strings of albumen;
drops of molasses, and lines of alcohol.
How are these waste masses disposed or!
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,
seiZes and carries this mass OF waste into
vast trenches thence into smaller reser-
voir, 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 IL of a particle of the life fluid,
passes human comprehension. In health
this blood-purifying process is carried on
without our knowledge. The organs III
which il is done are faithful servants
whose work is silent as long as health re-
mains.
"People strangely wait until pain strikes

chiefly the exterior not the interior
of the body. A certain set of nerves con-
meet these blood-purifying organs with the
brain. They may not gnaw and bite as
does the tooth-ache 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 leaving 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 MAST The athlete breaks
down in the race; the editor falls at his
desk; the merchant succumbs in his count
! ing-room. These events should not have
been unexpected, for nature long ago hung
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 pal
pitation and Irregularities OF the heart, as
premature decay, as dryness and harsh
ness of the skin causing the hair TO drop
out or turn gray, as appoplexy, as paraly-
sis, as general debility, blood poisoning,
etc.
Put no faith then in the wiseacre who
! ~ 4 To-.
! there is no pain. Put no faith in the ply
stefan, whoever he may be, who says 1T is
a mere cold or a slight indisposition. He
knows little, If any, more than you do
about it. He can neither see nor examine
| these organs and depends entirely upon
experimental tests, that you can make as
well as he.
IF the output is dscolored or muddy, if
it contains albumen, lymph, crystals, sweet
or morbid matter, is red with escaped
blood, or roily with gravel. mucous 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 i'll the human sys-
tem the ones in which large majority of
human ailments originate and are sustain
ed, 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 or
| gans is a simple medicine, which can do no
! harm to the most delicate but must be Of
| the greatest benefit TO the afflicted. Such
a remedy, tried and proved by many
thousands all over the world, is Warmers
safe cure. With those in whom disease is
deep seated il is the only specific. For
those in whom the seeds are sown and the
| beginning of illness started it is an unfail-
ing reliance. Ii may be recommended to
the well TO prevent sickness, and the sick
| to prevent death. With its aid the great
| filtering engines of the system keep on in
their silent work without interruption !;
without il 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
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.
