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

one.
MAN 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: 4 flash comes and the whole is
consumed and needful heat is carried
into every part of the system. Electri-
cal forces also generate and are con
veyed to the brain. the muscles and the
various nerve centers.
In another set of II million chambers
we see various glasses and vapors. BY
chemical action these are changed and
purified in the lungs and the skin. The
blood we often say is Il great living
river. In its current are masses which
the air in the lungs did not affect:
blocks of chalk; slabs of tartar; pieces
Of bone-ash; strings IF albumen; drops
of molasses, and lines of alcohol. How
are these waste masses disposed off
Begin where YOU will in this grea,
stream you must come to the purifying
places of the system. Here is all ac-
tivity and an invisible force reaches out
into the stream, seizes and carries this
mass of waste into vast trenches, thence
into Il smaller reservoir. and finally in
to a larger reservoir, which regularly
discharges its contents.
This separation of lime, uric acid and
other waste material from the blood
without robbing it of a particle of the
life fluid, passes human comprehension,
In health this blood purifying process
is carried on without our knowledge.
The organ 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 real
ize that they have any trouble. They
do not know that pain concerns chiefly
the exterior not the interior of the body.
A certain set Of nerves nnec these
blood purifying organs with this brain.
They may not gnaw and bite as does
the toothache 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

blood poisoning, etc.
Put no faith her in the wisacre
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 IA mere cold or a slight indis-
position. He knows little, if any,
more than you do about it. He can
neither see nor examine these organs
and depends entirely upon experiment
tai tests, that you can make as well as
he.
If the output is discolored or mud
dy, if it contains albumen, lymph, crys-
tails, sweet or morbid matter, is red
with escaped blood, or roily with gray
ell, mucus and froth, something is
wrong and disease and death are not
far away.
These organs which we have de-
scribed thus at length, because they
are really the most important ones in
the human system, the ones in which Il
large majority of human ailments orig
mate and are sustained, are the kid
neys. 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 II 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 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 as I'M
failing reliance. 1t may be recon-
mended 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 ont 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 Edi-
tor Lassing, M. D.,-so high an au-
thority-says is true, and that his coun-
sci is worthy the attention and heed of
all prudent, right-minded people.
