That we may emphasize and clearly explain
the relation the kidneys sustain to the general
health AMI how much is dependent upon them,
we propose, metaphorically speaking, to take
one from the human body, place in the wash
bowl before US, and examine II for the public
benefit.
You will imagine that we have before us q
body shaped IKE bean, smooth and glisten-
ing, about four inches In length, two 10 width,
and one 10 thickness II ordinarily weighs
In the adult male, about FIVE ounces, but Is
somewhat lighter In the female. A small Or
CANT you say. But understand, the body OF
the average size man contains about ten quarts
Of blood Of uhch e1ery drop passes through
these pliers or Swers, as they may be called,
many times a day, AS often as through the
heart, making complete revolution In hree
minutes. From the blood they separate the
waste material, working away steadily night
and day, sleeping or waking, tlreless as the
heart itself, and fully of rs much vital i'm.
portance, removing impurities from sixty five
gallons Of blood each hour, or about forty-nine
barrels each day, OF 9, Us hog head year.
What wonder that the kidneys can last any
length Of time under this prodigious strain,
treated and neglected as they area
We slice this delicate organ open length
wise with our knife, aud will roughly des-
cribe its interior.
We find IL TO be of reddish brown color, soft
and easily torn filled with hundreds of little
tubes, short and thread like, starting from the
arteries, ending In little tuft about midway
from the outside opening into a cavity of con-
siderable size. which is called the pelvis Or
roughly speaking, a sac, which is for the pur-
pose OF holding the water to further undergo
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 rigN

gus.
Doing the vast amount OF work which they
are obliged to, from the slightest irregularity
in our habits, from cod, from high living,
from stimulants or thousand aud one other
causes which occur every day, they become
somewhat weakened in their nerve force
What is the resultl Congestion Or stoppage
OF the current OF blood ia the small blood YES
sells surrounding them, which become blocked;
these delicate membranes are irritated; inflam-
nation is set up, then pus is
formed, which collects in the pelvis or
sac, the tubes are at first partially, and
soon are totally unable to do their work The
pelvic sac goes on distcniing wi h his corrup.
ton, pressing upon the blood vessels. All this
time, remember, the blood, VIII ch is entering
the kidneys to be tiltcrel is passing through
this terrible, disgusting pas, for it cannot take
any other route!
Stop and think of it for a moment. Do YOU,
realize the importance, nay the vital nee ssity

pect when they are 4 seas d or INSTRUCTED, no

bic to expect ii pest house were set across
Broadway, aud countless thousands were COM
PEELED to go through its pestilcntial doors, an
escape from contagion and disease, as for one
to expect the blood to escape pollution when
constantly rum NJ 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, fiesl AMI bone, from your
head to your feet And whenever from her
edtary influence or otherwise, some
part Of the toly is weaker than another, Q
countless train of diseases is eStabIishe |, such
asconsunption in weak lungs dyspepsia, where
there is delicate stomach ,rvousness, n.
sanity, paralysis or heart disease in those who
have weak nerves.
The heart must soon feel the effects Of the poison,
Is Il requires pure blood 10 keep it im right
action. 1t increases its stroke in num-
Der and force t. com ?cnsatc for the natural
stimulus wanting, in its eudeavor to crowd the
impure blood through this obstruction, caus-
ng pain, pa pitation, or an out-of-brealh feel
ing. Unnatural as this forced labor is, the
heart must soon falter becoming weaker and
weaker until one day 1t suddenly stops, and
death from apparent "heart disease" is the
verdict.
But the medical profession, learn ed and dig
nifed, call these diseases b. high sounding
names, treat tn I'm alone, and patients die, for
the arteries are carrying sloU death 10 the az
fected part, constantly adding fuel
brought from these suppurating, us-laden
kidneys which here in our wash-bowl are very
putrefaction 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 poun Is of nourishment every
twenty -four hours to supply the waste Of the
body which is C instantly going on, waste
equal to the quantity taken. This, too, the
kidneys have to separate from the blood, with
all other decom posing matter.

have no pain in the back" Mistaken man !
People die OF kidney disease OF SO bad a char
acter that the organs are rotten, and yet they
have never there had pain nor an ache
Whyl Because the disease begins, as we
have shown, in the Interior Of the kidney,
where there are fen nerres Of feeling to
convey the sensation 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 deran ,ei can you wonder at the i'll
health of our men AMI womenl Health and
long life cannot be expected when so vital an
organ is impaired. No wonder some writer's
say we are degeneratng. Don't you see the
great, the extreme Importance OF keeping this
machinery in working orderl Could the finest
engine do even fractional part of tn work,
without attention from the engineer! Don't
you see how dangerous this hidden disease Isl
II Is lurking about us constantly, without CIV
ing any Indication Of rs presence.
The most skillful physicians cannot detect
1t at times, for The kidneys Themselves
cannot be Examined by any means which we
have at our command. Even an analysis Of
the water chemically and microscopically, re-
veals nothing definite in many cases, even
when the kidneys are fairly broken down.
Then look out for ION, as disease, no mat
, ter where situated, to 80 per cent, as shown
by af,e death examinations, has its origin in
the breaking down of these sccreting tubes in
the interior Of the kidney.
AS you value health, as you desire long life

organs some atteut OF. Keep them in good
