Tin the editorial columns of the New York Analyst
H. Lassng, Nj. D., editor, writes the following beaa-
titul description of the laboratories of the human
| system. We think we have never read finer or
| trustworthy one.
| Man is the greatest of all chemical labcra-
| tories. Magnify the smallest cell of the body,
and what factory is spread before 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 ars
conveyed TO the brain. the muscles, aud the va
| rious 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 often say is great
| living river. In It's 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 aico-
| hoL How are these waste masses disposed ofs
Begin where you will in this great stream you
must come to the purifying places of the system.
| Here Is all activity, and an invisible force
| reaches out into the stream, seizes and Carries
this mass of waste into vast trenches, thence
into smaller reservoir, and finally into larger
reservoir which regularly discharges 1t tents.
This separation of lime. uric acid and other
| it of particle of the life.f fluid, passes human
comprehension. In health this blood 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.

these blood purifying organs with the brain
| They may not gnaw and bite as does the tooth
ache or scratch, but they regularly silently

nerves indicate it by drawing the blood
from the face and cheek, leaving ths

Put no faith, then, in the wiseacrs 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 cold or slight indsposi-

about it. He can neither see nor examine these
organs, and depends entirely upon experimental
tests that you can make as well as he.
