lin the editorial columns OF the New York
Analyst, H. 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.1
4Man is the greatest OF all chemical
laboratories. Magnify the smallest
cell of the body and what factory is
spread before the eyes; countless cham
bers 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. Elec-
trical forces also generate and are con-
veyed 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 skin.
The blood we often say is great liv-
ing river. In its current are masses
which the air in the lungs did not
affect: blocks ofchalk; slab OF tartar;
pieces of bone-ash, strings of albumen;
drops ofmolasses, and lines ofalcohol.
How are these waste masses disposed
OF? Begin where you will In this great
stream you must come to the purify
ing places of the system. Here is all
activity and an invisible force reach

carries this mass of waste into vast
trenches, thence into smaller res
ervoir, and finally into q larger res
ervoir, which regularly discharges its
contents. 4 -s

purifying process is carried on without
our knowledge. The organs in which
| it is done are faithful servants whose
work is silent as long as health re-
mains. -
People strangely wait until pain
strikes q nerve before they will realize
that they have any trouble. They dc
not know that pain concerns 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 q
scratch, but they regularly, silently
report. When these organs are failing

sending uric acid poison into the small
