WHAT SCIENCE SAYS.
The Fearful and Wonderful" Mechanism OF
The Human System Graphically PORTRAYED.


The Human system Graphically Portrayed.
In the editorial columns Of the New York An
sySt H. L.ssSing, NJ D., editor writes the follow
ing beautiful description OF the laboratories Of the
human system We think We have never resd a
uarT or more trustworthy one
Man is the greatest of all chemical
laboratories. Magnify the smallest cell of
OF the body and what s 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
Ceedful heat Is carried into every part of
the system. Electrical forces also gener-
ate and are conveyed to the brain, the
muscles and the various nerve centers.
In another set of s million chambers we
Sse various gases and vapors. BY chem
zeal action these are changed and purified
IN the lungs and the skin, The blood we
often say Is 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 of
albumen; drops of moiaSSes, and lines of
alcohol. How are these waste masses dis
posed Of! Begin where You will in this
great stream you must come 10 the puri-
lying 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 a smaller reservoir, and finally into
larger reservoir, which regularly dis
charges its contents.
This separation of lime, uric acid and
other waste material from the blood with
out robSing 1t of a particle of the life
fluid. passes human comprehension. In
health this blood, 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 remains.
People strangely wait until pain strikes
a nerve before they will realize that they
have any trouble. They do not know that
pain concerns chiefly the exterior not the
interior of the body. \ certain set Of
nerves connect these blood purifying or
ganS with the brain, They may not guaw
and bite as does the tooth-ache or n
scratch, but they regularly, silently re
/ port. When these organs are failing these
nerves indicate 1t by drawing the blood
from the face and checks, leaving the lip
and eye blanched, by sending uric acid
/ poison into 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 en-
1 joys perfect health, especially in this land
where we burn the candle in one mass

These organs which we have described
thus at length, because they are really the
most important ones in the human sys-
TEN, the ones in which a large ajOrity
of human ailments originate and are sus-
tanned, are the kidneys. They have not
been much discussed in public because il
Is conceded that the profession has little
| known power over them. What is wanted
for such organs is simple medicine
! which can do no harm to the most deli,
cate but must be of the greatest benefit &c
the afflicted. Such remedy, tried and
proved by many thousands all over the
world is Warmers safe cure. With those

only specific. For those in whom the
seeds are sown and the beginning of ill
ness started it Is an unfailing reliance. II

vent sickness and the sick to prevenr
death. With its aid the great filtering en-
gines of the system keep on in their silen
work without interruption; without il they
get out of gear and then disease anC
death open the door and cross the thresh

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 all prudent
right-minded people.
