WHAT SCIENCE SAYS

The .FearfuI and Wonderfulr Mechsn-
ism of the Human System Graphically
Portrayed.
Aiidtust, III. Lasting, NJ D., editor, writes the
following beautiful description of the laborar
tories OF the human system We think we
have never read finer or more trustworthy
one.
"Man is the greatest of all chemical lab
oratories. 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; a fash 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.
In another set of a million chambers we
see various gases and vapors. By chemlc-
al action these are changed and purified
in the lungs and the skin. The blood we
often saw is a 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 or
albumen; drops of molasses, and lines or
alcohol. How are these waste masses dis
posed ofs Begin where You will in this
great stream you must como 60 the purify
ing places of the system Here is all &C
tivity and an invisible force reaches out
into the stream, SelZoS ana CdTTleS ILLS iudsS
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 robDing it OF a particle of the life fluid,
passes human comprehension. In health
this blood-purifying process is carried on
which it is done are faithful servants whose
work is silent as long as health remains.
People strangely wait until pain strikes
a nerve before they will realize that they
pain concerns chiefly the exterior not the
interior of the body. A certain set OF
nerves connect these biood-purifying
organs with the brain. They may not
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
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
candle in one masss 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 nave
been unexpected for nature long ago hurg
out her lanterns of alarm When the
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
paIpitation 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 apoplexy, as paralysis
as general debility, blood poisoning. etc.
'sPut 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 mere
cold or a slight indisposition. He knows
little, il any, more than you do about it.
He can neither see nor examine these
organs and depends entirely upon expert
mental 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: 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 sy stem,
the ones in which a large majority of hu-
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'S wanted for such organs
is q simple medicine, which can do no
| harm to the most delicate but must be OF
| the greatest benefit to the afflicted. Such
| q remedy, tried and proved by many thou
| sands 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 sown and the begin-
ming of illness started it is an unfailing reli-
| ance. 1t may be recommended to the well
| to prevent sickness and the sick to prevent
death. With its aid the great fltering
engines of the system 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 thresh-
old
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 al prudent, right
minded people.
