WHAT SCIENCE SAYS.
The Fearful and Wonderful Me-
chanism Of the Human System
Graphically Described.


Tin the editorial columns of the New York
Analyst, Ii. Lassing. NJ. d., editor writes
the following beautiful description OF the
laboratories of the human sy stem. We
think we have never read finer or more
trustworthy one.
Man is the greatest of all chemical lab
oratories. Magnify the smallest cell Of the
body and what a factory is spread before
the eyes countless chambers in which are
globes of air, masses of solid matter, glob-
ules of dying liquid; flash comes and the
whOleis consumed and needful heat is car
ried into every part Of the system. Electri.
cal forces also generate and are conveyed to
the brain, the muscles and the various
nerve centers.
In another set of a million chambers we
see various gases and vapors. By chemi-
cal action these are changed and purified in
he lungs and the skin. The blood we Otter
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 aIbumen
drops of mOlaSses, and lines of alcohol. How
are these waste masses disposed of. Begin
where you will in tins great stream YOU
must come to the purifying places of the
system. Here is all activity and an invisi-
Bile force reaches out into the stree m,
seizes and carries this mass of waste into
vast trenches, thence into smaller reser.
voir, and finally into a larger reservoir,
which regularly discharges its contents.
This separation of lime, uric acid and 9TH
er waste material from the blood without
robblng it 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 rs 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 no. the in
terror OF the body. A certain set of nerves
connect these blood-purifying organs with
the braiD. They may not gDaw and bite as
does the tooth-ache or scratch, but they
regularly, silently report. When these or
gans are failing these nerves indicate it BY
drawing the blood from the face and cheek,
leaving the lip and eye blanched. b. send
ing 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 pulmon-
ary difficulties, WEAKNESS and pain. Who
enjoys perfect health, especially in this land
where we burn the candle in one massl The
athlete breaks down in the race; the editor
falls at his desk; the merchant succumbs in
his cOuuting-rOom. These events should
not have been unexpected for nature long
ago hung out her LANTERNS of ALARM
When the accident" finally comes, it's fatal
effect is seen in hundred forms, either as
congestion, chronic weakness, as wrong ac-
ton, as variable appetite, as head troubles,
as palpitation and irregularities of the heart.
as premature decay, as dryness and harsh
ness of the skin causing the hair to drop out
M e;c
general debility, blood poisoning. etc.
Put no faith then in the wiseacre who
says there IS no danger as long as there is
no pain. Put no faith in the physician, who
ever he may be. who says it is a mere cold
or slight indisposition. He knows little,
neither see nor examine these organs and
depends entirely upon experimental tests,
that you can make as well as he.
