A SCIENTISTS WARNING.
4 Remarkable Lecture Delivered by DIR,
IL. II. Hammond Before the National
SeientIsIs Convention.


II am glad was born In the nineteenth
.entury,n was the remark of an enthusiastic
limrer of modern progress, in tone Of
ympathy for his ancestors and satisfaction
tor himself. His experience Is common
pne, and indeed, when we think of the blind
path along which humanity has wandered
during the past ages, our sympathy Is in
ltinctively aroused. The worlds wants were
ence meagre; now they are great. People
formerly lived in a manner approaching
srudeness; now we are surrounded by
modern improvements Men and women
then endured torture OF the worst kind,
imply because they did not know how to
avoid it, They submitted to suffering which
impaired their health, ruined their constitu-
hons and blighted their posteiity, because
no one knew from whence it arose They
were miserable martyrs on the altar OF ig-
torrance. And yet, unfortunately, we are to
day far too often in no better condition.
WE ARE STARTLED
constantly by the sudden death OF some man
who seemed the picture Of health. He thought
he was we'll Occasionally his appetite was
poor, but then In a few days afterward it
was ravenous He felt strange pains shoot
ing through his body, but, as they did not
remain, he forgot them, His head panied
him periodically, he was somewhat paler than
common, aud unaccountably tired, but he

yet he died suddenly AUGMENTATION would

were nearly all decayed 1t would reveal
residue of shattered, nauseatiug tissue. And
still he seemed 10 be the picture of health.
And this leads me TO assert that, in my judg-
ment, more than four tifths OF all serious
nodern diseases arise from the arrangement
OF the most important organs of the human
hody-the kidneys, Please follow me closely
and see if do not prove this,
"Why is it that so many little children arc
to-day puny, stunted and apparently blight
ed for life! Because those early aud inevita-
BILE diseases, measles, scarletina, etc, have SO
weak ened their kidneys that nature cannot
do her work, and the child languishes, per-
haps dies. Look at the list OF women who
die in childbirth and why is it. Simply be-
cause their maternal organs have been so
weakened by kidney disease that they cannot
witt stand the terrible sudden strain that is
brought TO bear upon them, HOW many
women escape monthly agonies! And yet
nature never intended that pain or in:onveni-
ence should attend the operation Of her natur-
al laws. Does it stand TO reason that a constant
pressure of stays over tho kiideys, combined
With
INNCMGRABLE PRACTICES
which society, fashion and mankind demand
should not affect those delicate organs and
brig about decline and death1 If the kid
neys were one-half as sensitive as the heart,
| lungs, liver, stomach or bowels, many men
aid women would endure the most excl ucia-
ting agonies And here is just where the
g.eat danger Of Bright's disease lies 1t does
not manifest itself in pains. 1t does not a'
sume any settled symptoms. 1t arises from
slight causes, n sudden jar being sometimes
sufficient to start it. 1t is seldom twice alike
Men and women drag along, die and art
buried, and their friends and the doctors say

and friends are sincere in this, but the Gauss
