I'm the editorial columns of the New York Ana
lyst II Lasting, M. D., editor writes the following
beautiful description of the laboratories Of the hui
man system We think we have never read finer
more trustworthy one.
Man is the greatest of all chemical labo-
ratories Magnify the smallest cell of the
body and what factory IS spread before the
ewes: countless chambers in which are globes
of air, masses of solid matter, globules of
dying liquid; a flash comes and the whole is
consumed 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 a million chambers we
see various gases 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 not af-
feet; 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? Beg in where
YOU will in this great stream you must come
to the purifying 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 discharges its con-
tents.
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
nerve before they will realize that they have
any trouble. They do not know that pain
chi Hvt ha a
of the body. A certain set of nerves con-
meet these blood-purifying organs with the
brain. They may not gnaw and bite as does
the toothache or a scratch, but they regular
ly, 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, wear
mess 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 "acci-
dent finally comes it's fatal effect is seen in
hundred forms; either congestion,
chronic weakness, as wrong action, as varia-
BILE appetite, as head troubles, as palpitation
and Irregularities of the heart, as premature
decay, as dryness and harshness of the skin,
causing the hair to drop out turn gray,
as apoplsxy, as paralyis, as 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
a slight indispositon. He knows little if any
a., l. Z r,aJ% how
see nor examine these organs and depends
entirely upon experimental tests that you
can make as we'll as he.
eff 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, mueus and froth, some
thing is wrong and disease and death are not
far away.
''These organs which we have described
thus at length, because they are really the
most important ones in the human system,
the ones in which a large majority of human
ailments originate and are sustained, are the
kidneys They have not been much dis
cussed 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 great
est benefit to the afflicted. Such remedy,
tried and proved by many thousands all over
the world, is Warmers 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 is an unfailing reliance. 1t may be rec
commended to the well to prevent sickness
and the sick to prevent death. With its aid
the great fltering engines of the system keep
on in their silent work without interruption;
without it they get out of gear and then dis
ease and death open the door and cross the
threshold"
Such writing ought not only to please, but
| to carry conviction that what Editor Lassing,
M. D.,-so high authority-says is true,
and that his counsel is worthy the attention
| and heed of all prudent, right-minded peo-
pie.
