chanism OF the Human System era.
phically Portrayed.
Tin the editorial columns Of the New York An
olrst, ii. Lasslng. N. D.. editor, writes the iol-
lowing beautiful description of the laboratories
of the human system. We think We nave never
read q finer or more Trustworthy one.l
sMan is the greatest OF all chemical
laboratories. Magnify the smallest cell
of the body and what a factory IS
spread before the eyes countless cham
bers in which are globes OF air, masses
of solid matter, globules Of dying liquid;
a flash comes and the whole is consum-
ed and needful heat is carried into every
part of the system Electrical forces
also generate and are conveyed to the
brain, the muscles and the various
nerve centers.
In another set OF million chambers
We see various gaSSes and vapors. BY
chemical 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 lot affect;
blocks of chalk; slabs of tartar; pieces
of bone-ash, strings of albumen; drops
of molaSses, and lines of alcohol How
are these waste masses disposed of?
Begin where You viii in this great
stream you must come TO the purifying
places of the system. Here is all ac-
tiyity and an invisible force reaches out
INTO the stream, SsiZeS and carries this
mass of waste into vast trenches, thence
into a smaller reservoir. and finally into
Il larger reservoir. which regularly dis
charges its contents.
This separation of lime, uric acid
and other waste material from the blood
without robbing it of 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.
4 certain set OF nerves connect these
blood-purifyiny organs with the brain.
They may not gnaw and bite as does
the tOoth-ache or a scratch, but they
regularly, silently report. When these
organs are failing these nerves indicate
it by drawing the blood from the face
and cheek, 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
enjoys perfect health, especially in this
land where We burn the candle in one
mass? The athlete breaks down In the
race; the editor falls at his desk; the
merchant succumbS In his counting
room. These events should not have
been unexpected for nature long ago
hung out her LANTERNS Of alarm"
When the accident" finally comes, its
fatal effect is seen in hundred forms;
either as congestion, chrome weakness,
rs wrong action, IS variable appetite.
as head troubles, as palpitation and
Irregularities Of the heart, as premature
decay, as dryness and harshneSs of the
skin causing the hair 10 drop out or
turn gray, as apOpleXy, as paralysis. as
general debility, blood poisoning, etc.
Put no faith then in the wlSeacre
who says there is no danger as long as
there is no pain. Put no faith in the
physician, whoever he may be, who
says it is a mere cold or slight indis-
position. He knows little, If any, more
than you do about il. He can neither
see nor examine these organs and de-
pends entirely upon experimental tests,
that you can make as well rs he.
''lf the output is discolored or
muddy, if it contains albumen, lymph,
crystals, sweet or morbid matter, is red
with escaped blood, or roily with
gravel, mucus and frOth, something is
wrong and disease and death are not
Car away.
''These organs which we have des-
cribed thus at length, because they are
really the most important ones in the
human system, the ones in which
large majority of human ailments ori-
ginate and are sustained, are the kid
neys. They have not been much dis
eussed in public because it is conceded
that the profession has little known
power over them. What is wanted for
such organs is a simple medicine,
which can DO no harm to the
most delicate but must be of the
greatest benefit to the afflicted. such a
remedy, tried and proved by many
thousands all over the world is War
ner's safe cure. With those in whom
disease is deep seated it is the only
specific. For those in whom the seeds
are sown and the beginning of illness
started it rs unfailing reliance. 1t may
be recommended to the well to prevent
sickness and the sick TO prevent death.
With its aid the great filtering engines
Of the system keep on in their silent
work without interruption; without it
they get out Of gear and then disease
and death open the door and cross the
threshold"
Such writing ought not only to please
but to carry conviction that what
Editor Lassing, II. D.,-so high an
authority-says is true, and that his
counsel is worthy the attention and
heed of all prudent, right-mlnded peo-
pie.
