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 u.s. and examine it for the pubic
| benefit.
You will imagine that we have before rs a
body shaped like bean, smooth and gllsten-
ing, about four inches in length, two in width,
and one in thickness. 1t ordinarily weighs
in the adult male about five ounces, but is some
| what lighter in the female. A small organ,
you say. But understand, the body of the aver
age size man contains about ten quarts OF tt00d,
Of which euery drop passes Through these filters or
ScreTS, as they may be called, many tames dag,
rs often as through the heart, making a COM
plete revolution i'll three minutes. From the blood
they separate the waste material, working away
steadily, night and day. sleeping waking,
tireless the heart itself, and fully of as much
| vital Importance; removing impurities from TO
gallons Of blood each hour or about 40 barrels each
| day or 1925 hogsheads year! What wonder
that the kidneys can last any length OF time
under this prodigious strain, treated and neg
| lectcd as they are!
| We slice this delicate organ open lengthwise
! with our knife and will roughly describe its
! interior
| We find it to be of a reddish brown color,
| soft and easily torn; filled with hundreds of
little tubes, short and thread-like, starting
! from the arteries, ending i'll a little tuft about
| midway from the outside opening into q cavity
of considerable size, which is called the pelvis,
! or, roughly speaking, a sac, which is for the
purpose of holding the water to further I'M
| dCrgO publication 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 automatically, and right
here is rhere the disease Of the kidney first begins.
Doing the vast amount of work of which
| they are obliged to, from the slightest irregu-
| larity in our habits, from cold, from high liv-
! ing, from stimulantS thousand and one
other causes which occur every day, they be-
| come somewhat weakened in their nerve force.
What is the result? Congestion or stoppage
of the current of blood in the small blood YES
| sells surrounding 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 arc totally, I'M
| able to do their work. The pelvic sac goes on
distending with this corruption, pressing upon
| the blood vessels. All this time. remember,
| the blood, which is entering the kidneys to be
filtered is passing through this terrible, disgusting
| pas, 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 ex-
pect when they are diseased or DISTRACTED, no
matter how little, that you can have pure blood
ard escape diSeases 1t would be just as reason
| able to expect, if pest-house were set across
! Broadway and countless thousands were COM
| PEELED to go through its pestilential doors, an
| escape from contagiOn and disease, as for one to
| expect the blood TO escape pollution when con-
| stantly running through diseased kidney.
| Now, what is the result? Why, that the blood
| takes up and deposits this poison as it sweeps
along into every organ, into every inch of
| muscle, tissue, flesh and bone, from your head
to your feet. And whenever, from hereditary in
fiuencc or otherwise, some part of the body is
weaker than another, countless train of dis
| eases is established, such consumption, in
weak lungs: dyspepsia, where there is adelicate
stomach nervousness, insanity, paralysis or
heart disease in those who have weak nerves.
The heart must Sson feel the effects of The poison
requires pure blood to keep IN right action. 1t
increases its stroke in number and force to
compensate for the natural stimulus wanting
in its endeayor to crowd the impure blood
| through this obstruction causing pain, palpita-
ton. an out-of- breath feeling. Unnatural as
this forced labor is, the heart must soon falter,
| becoming weaker and weaker, until one day it
| suddenly stops, and death from apparent " heart
disease" is the verdict,
| But the medical profession, learned and dig
nii fed, call these diseases by high sounding
| names, treat them alone, and patients die, for
the arteries carrying SiOW death to the affected
| part, constantly adding fuel brought from these
| suppurating, pus-ladcn kidneys which here in
our wash bowl arc very putrctactiOn ITSELF and
| which should have been cured first.
But this is not all the kidneys have to do !;
! for you must remember that each adult takes
| about seven pounds of nOurishment every
! tweHty-fOur hours to supply the waste of the
body which is constantly going on. a waste
! equal to the quantity taken. This, too, the
! kidneys have TO separate from the blood with
| all other dccomposing matter.
But you say, my kidneys are all right. /
| have no pain in the back" Mistaken man
| People die OF kidney disease of SO bad a charac-
| ter that the organs are rotten and yet they
have neUer there had pain an ache
| Why? Because the disease begins, as we have
! shown, in the interior of the kidney, where
there are tew aerres Of feeling to convey the SEN
sation Of pain Why this is so we may never
| know.
When you consider their great work, the
delicacy of their structure, the ease with which
| they are deranGed, can you wonder ut the i'll
| health Of our men and women? Health and
! long life cannot be expected when so vital an
organ is impaired. No wonder some writers
say we are degenerating. Don't you sec the
great, the extreme Importance of keeping this
! machinery in working order? Could the finest
| eng ne do even fractional part of this work
| without attention from the engineer? Don't
yon see how dangerous this hidden disease is?
1t is lurking about US constantly, without Civ
ing any indication Of its presence.
The most skillful physicians cannot detect
it at times for the kidneys themselves cannot Jc
examined by any means which we have at our
command. Even an analysis of the water,
chemically and microscopically, reveals moth
ing definite in many cases, even when the kid
neys fairly broken down.
Then look out for them, rs disease, no mat
ter where situated, to SO per cent, as shown by
after-death examinations, has its origin in the
breaking down of these secreting tubes in the
interior Of the kidney.
As you value health, as you desire long life
free from sickness and suffering, give these
organs some attention. Keep them in good
condition and thus prevent (as is easily done
| all disease.
