II. n. WARNER C CO.,
RroprietorS Of "Wdrner's Safe Cure"
That we may emphasize and clearly ex
plain the relation the kidneys sustaib.to the
general health, aud how much is dependent
upon them, we propose, metaphorically
speaking, to take one from the human body
place it in the wash-bowl before us, and ex-
anime it for the public benefit.
You will imagine that we have before us a
body shaped like bean, smooth and glsten-
ing, aboutfour inches in length, two in width,
and one in thickness. 1t ordinarily weighs
in the adult male about five ounces, but is
somewhat lighter in the female A small
org an! you say. But understand, the body
of the average size man contains about ten
quarts Of blood, Of tDhtch ererg dr0gfusses
through these fttcrS or SetOerS as theyAmay
be called, many times q day as often as
through the heart, making a complete revo-
luton IN three minutes. From the blood
they sci arate the waste material, working
away steadily night and day. sleeping or
waking, tireless as the heart itself and fully
of as much vital Importance; removing inn
purities from sixty-five gallons OF blood each
hour, or about forty-nine barrels each day,
or 9, l25 hogSheads year! What wonder
that the kidneys can last any length of time
under this prodigious strain, treated and
neglected as they are!
We slice tins delicate organ open length
wise with our knife, and will roughly de-
scribe its interior
We find it to be of a reddish-bro color,
soft and easily torn; filled with hundreds of
little tubes, short and threai-like, starting
from the arteries, ending in little tuft about
midway from the outside opening into a
cavity of considerable size, which is called
the pelvis OF, roughly speaking, a sac, hich
Is for the purpose of holding the water to

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 auto
matically, and right here is '0here the dis
case Of the kidneV first begins
Doing the vast amount of work which
they are obliged to, from the slightest irreg-
ularlty in our habits, from cold, from high
living, from stimulants or o thousand and
one other causes which occur every day, they
become somewhat weakened in their nerve
force.
What is the resultl Congestion or stoppage
OF the current of blood in the small blood
vessels surrounding them, which become
blocked; these delicate membranes are irri-
tated; Inflammation is set up, then pus is

the tubes are at first partially, and soon are
totally unable to do their work The pelvic
sac goes on distending with this corruption,
pressing upon the blood vessels. All this
time, remember, the blood, which is entering
the kidneys to be filtered, is passing through
MiS tc'176Ie, disgusting Pus, for it cannot
take any other routel
Stop and think of it for a momentl Do
you realize the Importance nay the vital ne
cessity, of having the kidneys in orderl Can
you expect when they are diseased or OBJ
structed no matter how little, that you can
have pure tLood and escape disease? 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 onstantly
running through a diseased kidney.
Now, what Is the resultt 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 another, a count
less train of diseases is established. such as
consumption in weak lungs, dyspepsia where
there is a delicate stomach; nervousness, in
sanity, paralysis or heart disease in those
who have weak nerves
The heart mast soon feel the effects O. the
poison, as il requires pure blood to keep it
in right action. 1t increases its stroke in
number and force TO compensate for the
natural stimulus wanting, in its endeavor to
crowd the impure blood through this OBJ
struction causing pain, palpitation, OF an
out-of-breath feeling. Unnatural as this
forced labor is, the heart must soon falter,
becoming weaker and weaker until one day
it suddenly stops, and death from apparent
heart disease is the verdict

Kidneys which here in our wash bowl are

But this is not all the kidneys have to do;
Tor you must remember that each adult takes
! about seven pounds of nouriShment every
! twenty-four hours to supply the waste of the
body which is constantly going ON, waste
equal to the quantity taken. This, too the
kidneys have TO separate from the blood with
