WHAT SCIENCE SAYS.
The "Fearful and Wonderful" Mechan-
ism OF the Human System Graphically
Portrayed.


lin the editorial columns of the New York
Analyst, II. Lassing, M. d., editor, writes
the following beautiful description OF the
laboratories of the human sy stem. We think
we have never read a finer or more trustwor
IMAM is the greatest of all chemical
Laboratories. Magnify the smallest cell
Of the body and what q factory is spread
before the eyes, countless cham bers in
which are globes of air, masses of solid
matter, globules of dying liquid; flash
comes and the whole is consumed and
needful heat is carried into every part
of the system. Electrical forces alsc
generate and are conveyed to the brain
the muscles and the various nerve cen
ters.
In another set of million ch ambers
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 q great living
river. In It's 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 molases and lines of alcohol. How
are these waste masses disposed off
Begin where You will in this great
stream you must come to the purify ine
places OF the system. Here is'all activ-
Iity and an invisible force reaches out
into the stream, seizes and carries thil
mass of waste into vast trenches, thence
into q smaller reservoir, and finally
into larger reservoir, which regularly
discharges its contents.
This separation of lime, uric acid and
other waste material from the blood
without robbing 1t of particle of the
life fluid, passes human comprehension
In health this blood-purifying proc esf
is carried on without our knowledge.
The organs in which IL Is done re
faithful servants whose work is silent az
long as health remains.
"People strangely wait until pain
strikes nerve before they will realize
that they have any trouble. They de-
not know that pain concerns chiefly thu
lexterior not the interior of the body. A
certain set of nerves connect these blood
IpurifyinE organs with the brain. They
may not gnaw and bite as does the tooth
ache or a scratch, but they regularly
Isilently report. When these organs ar,
failing these nerves indicate 1t by draw
ing the blood from the face and cheek
leaving the lip and face blanched, b,
sending uric acid poison into the small
est veins, the skin then becoming gray,
j yellow or brown. They also prevent tn,
Ipuritication of the blood in the lung
and cause pulmonary difficulties, weari
ness and pain. Who enjoys perfec
health. especially y IN this land where W,
burn the candle in the mass? Tn,
athlete breaks down in the race; the edi
tor falls at his desk the merchant sue
Icumbs In his counting room. Thes
! events should not have beenEunexpectet
for nature long ago hung out her clan
terms of alarm" When the accident
finally comes, Its fatal effect is seen In
hundred forms; either as congestion
chronic weakness, as wrong action, a
variable appetite, as head troubles, o
lpalpitation and irregularities of tn
heart, as premature decay, as dry
ness and harshness Of the skin caus
ing the hair to drop out or turn gray, q
apoplexy, as paralysis, as general de
bility, blood poisoning, etc.
"Put no faith then in the wiseacl
who says there is no danger as long 8
There is no pain. Put no faith In IL
/: ph ysician, whoever he may be, WI
says it is q mere cold or slight indispC
Il sition. He knows little, If any, MOI
than you do about 1t. He can neitht
see nor examine these organs, and d,
a Ipends entirely upon experimental test
that you can make as we'll as he.
s'If the output is discolored or muddy
a If 1t contains albumen, lymph, crystal
n sweet or morbid matter, is red wit
= escaped blood, or roily with grave
n mucus and froth, something is wron
5 and disease and death are not far away
. "These organs which we have de
scribed thus at length, because they al
!, really the most important ones in th
human system, the ones in which
large majority of human ailments or
Iginate and are sustained, are the kit
lneys. They have not been much di
. cussed in public because it is concede
:, that the profession has little know
= Ipower over them. What is wanted f,
a such organs is a simple medicine, whiC
!. can do no harm to the most delicate bl
: no ust be of the greatest beneaG to Il
- afflicted. Such q remedy, tried al
a proved by many thousands all over Il
= world is Warmers safe cure. With tho
70 in whom disease is deep seated it is u
n only specific. For those in whom Il
y seeds are sown and the beginning
/. illness started it as unfailing relianc
a 1t may be recommended to the we'll
=. prevent sickness and the sick to pr
, vent death. With Its aid the great fl
tering engines of the system keep on
their silent work without interruptio
without 1t they get out of gear and tn
:, disease and death open the door al
l. cross the threshold.'
r. Such writing ought not only to plea
y but to carry conviction that what Ed
, tor Lassing, M. D.,-so high an auth
IL rity-says is true, and that his couns
o is worthy the attention and heed OF q
prudent, right minded people.
