To the Editor Of the Scientific Anseri-
can.
Will you permit us to make known to
the public the facts We have learned
during the past 8 years, concerning
disorders of the human Kidneys and
the organs which diseased Kidneys so
easily break DOWN. You are conduct
ing Scientific paper, and are unpre-
judiced except in favor Of TRUTH. 1t is
needless to say, no medical journal of
"Code" standing would admit these
facts, for very obvious reasons.

| That we may emphasize and clearly
| explain the relation the kidneys sustain
to the general health and how much is
dependent upon them, we propose,
metaphorically speaking, to take one
from the human body, place in the
wash-bowl before us, and examine it
for the public benefit.
You will imagine that we have be-
fore us body shaped like bean,
smooth and glistening, about four
inches in length. two in width, and one
in thickness, 1t ordinarily weighs in the
adult male, about five ounces, but is
somewhat lighter in the female. A
the body of the average sized man
contains about ten quarts Of blood. of
. which every drop passes through these
filters or sewers, as they may be called,
many times day as often as through
the heart, making complete revolu-
tions In three minutes. From the blood

self, and fully of as much vital inpor-
tance; removing impurities from sixty
five gallons of blood each hour, or about
forty-nine barrels each day, or 9, 1875
hogshead year!' What wonder that
the kidneys can last any length Of time
under this prodIgiOus- STRAIN. treated
and neglected as they are?
We slice this delicate organ open
length-wise with our knife. and will
roughly describe it's interior.
We find it to be Of q reddish brown
color, soft and easily torn, filed with
hundreds OF little tubes. short and
thread-like, starting from the arterties.
ending in little tuft about midway
of considerable sizs, which is called the
pelvis or. roughly speaking, a sac,
which is for the purpose of holding the
water to further undergo publications
before it passes down from here into
the ureters, and SO on to the outside Of
the body. These little tubes are the
filters which do their work automotical-
ly, and right here is where the disease
of the kidney first begins.
Doing the vast amount of work which
they are obliged to. from the slightest
irregularity in our habits. from cold,
from high living. from, stimulants or q
thousand and one other causes which

What is the RESULT Congestion or
stoppage of the current of blood in the
small blood vessels isurrouuding them,
which become blocked; these delicate
membranes are irritated; Inflammation
is set up. then pus is formed, which
collects in the pelvis or sac; the tubes
are at first partially, and soon are to-
tally, unable to do their work. The
corruption, pressing upon the blood
vessels. Ali this time, remember, the
blood, which Is entering the kidneys to
be filtered. is passing through this ter
rible, disgusting pus, for it cannot take
any other route!'
Stop and think of it for moment.
Do you realize the importance, nay the
vital necessity, of having the kidneys
in order?' Can you cxpec. when they
are diseased or obstructed, NO matter
how little, thar you can have pure
bic I'd and escape diseaseP 1t would be
just as reasonable to expect. if a pest
house were set across Broadway and
countless thousands were compelled to
go through its pestllentlal doors, an es-
cape from contagion and disease, as for
one TO expect the blood to escape pol
luton waen constantly running through
q diseased kidney.
Now, what is the resultP Why that
the blood takes up and deposits this
poison as i: sweeps along into every or
gan, into every inch of muscle. tissue,
ffesh and bone, from your head to your
feet. And whenever, from heredi-
tary influence or otherwise, some
part of the body is weaker than another
a countless train of diseases is estab-
lished, such as consumption in weak
lungs, dyspepsia, where there is deli
cate stomach; nervousness, insanity,
paralysis or heart disease in those who
have weak nerves.
The heart must soon feel the effects
Of the poison, as it requires pure blood
