That we may emphasize and clearly ex-

the general health, and how much Is de-
pendent upon them, we propose, meta
| phorically speaking, TO take one from the
| human body, place In the wash-bowl be-
fore US, and examine it for the public ben

You will imagine that we have before us
a body shaped like bean, smooth and

What a wonder that the kidneys can last
any length of time under this prodigious
strain, treated and neglected as they are
We slice this delicate organ open length
wise with our knife, and will roughly de-
scribe its interior
We find it to be of a reddish. brown
color, soft and easily torn; filed with
hundreds of little tubes, short and thread
like, starting from the arteries, ending in
a little TUT about midway from the out
side opening into cavity OF considerable
size, which Is called the pelvis, or, rough
ly-speaking,a sac which is for the purpose
of holding the water to further undergo
publication before IL passes down from
here into the ureters and so on to the out
side OF the boly. These little tubes are
the filters, which do their work automat-
ically, and right here Is rhere The disease Of Tia
kidney first begins
Doing the vast amount of work which
they are obliged to- from the slightest ir-
regularity in our habits, from cold from
high living, from stimulants or thousand

day, they become somewhat weakened in
their nerve force.

Stop and think OF II for a moment Do
you realize the importance, nay the vital
necessity, Of having the kidneys in orderi
Can you expect when they are diseased or
obstructed, no matter how little, that you
can have pure blood and escape dfssdsey IL
would be just as reasonable to expect, II a
pestehouse were set across Broadway and 1
countless thousands we're compelled TO go
through its pestilential doors, an escape
from contagion and disease, as for one TO
expect the blood to es ape pollution when
constantly running through a diseased
kidney.
Now, what is the RESULT Why, that the
blood takes up aud deposits this poison as
1t sweeps along into every organ, into ey-
cry inch of muscle, tissue, flesh and bone,
from your head TO your feet. And when
ever. from hereditary influence or other
wise, some part of tho body is weaker than
another, a countless train OF diseases Is es-
tablished, such as consumption in weak
lungs dyspepsia, where there is a delicate
stomach; nervousness insanity paralysis
or heart disease in those who have weak
nerves.

The affected part constantly adding fuel

kidneys which here in our wash bowl are

have been cured first.
But this is not all the kidneys have to
do; for you must remember that each
adult takes about seven pounds OF nour-
ishment every twenty-four hours to supply
going on, waste equal to the quantity
taken in. This, too, the kidneys have to
separate from the blood, with all other do
composing matter.

When you consider their great work, the
