contains about ten quarts Of blood, OF whicl
every drop passes through these filters or set0ers
as they may be called, nldny times ddy, as
often as through the heart, making a com

blood they separate the waste material

can last any length of time under this pro-
digious strain, treated and neglected as they
are?
We slice this delicate organ open length

scribe its interior.
We find it 10 be of reddish brown

dreds of little tubes, short and thread-like,
starting from the arteries, ending in little

is called the pelvis or, roughly-speaking, a
sac, which is for the purpose 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

Doing the vast amount of work which
they are obliged to, from the slightest If

high living, from stimulants or thousand

All this time, remember, the blood which
is entering the kidneys to be filtered, is
passing through this terrible, disgusting pt,s,

you realize the Importance, nay, the vital
necessity of having the kidneys in order
Can you expect when they are diseased or
INSTRUCTED, no matter how little, that you
can have pure blood and escape dtSedSe7 1t
would be Just as reasonable to expect, if a
pest house were set across Broadway and
countless thousands were compelled to go
through its pestilential doors, an escape
from contagion and disease, as for one to
expect the blood to escape pollution when
running through diseased kid
ney.
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 flesh and bone, from
your head to your feet. And whenever
from hereditary influence or otherwise,
some part Of the body is weaker than an
other, countless train of diseases is es-
tablished, such as consumption in weak
lungs, dyspepsia, where there is delicate
nervousness, insanity, paraly
or heart disease in those who have weak
nerves.
The heart must soon feel The effects Of the

suddenly stops, and death from apparent

Health and long life cannot be expected
when so vital an organ is impaired. No
wonder some writers say We are degenerat-

inheritance of keeping this machinery in

It is lurking about US constantly, without

The most slIillful physicians cannot de-

have at our command. Even an analysis
of the water, chemically and microscopic
slly, reveals nothing definite in many
cases, even when the kidneys are fairly
broken down.
Then look out for them, as disease, no

shown by after death examinations, has its
