In the editoriaicoluns OF the New York
Analyst. Fl. Lassing. NJ d.. Editor, writes
the following beautiful description of the
laboratories oI the human system We
think we have never read a finer or more
trustworthy one.
''Man is the greatest of all chemical
laboratories. Magaify 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 dyine
liquid. a flash comes and the whole is
consumed and needful heat, is carried
into every part of the system. Elec-
trical forces also generate and areeon-
veyed to the brain, the muscles and
the various nerve centers-
In another set ola million chambers
we see various gases and vapors.
By chemical action these are changed
and purified in the lungs and skin.
The blood We often say is a great liv-
ing river. In its current are masses
which the air in the lungs did not
affect: blocks ofchalk; slab of tartar;
pieces of bone ash. strings of albumen;
drops of molasses, and lines ofalcohol.
How are these waste masses disposed
of? Begin where you will IN this great
stream you must come to the purify
ing places of the system. Here is all
activity and an invisible force reach,
es out into the stream, seizes and
carries this mass of waste into vast
trenches, thence into a smaller res.
ervoir, and finally into larger res.
ervoir, which regularly discharges its
contents.
This separation of lime, uric acid
and other waste material from the
blood without robbing it of particle
of the life fluid. passes human com.
prehension. In health this blood
purifying process is carried on without
our knowledge. The organs in which
it is done are faithful servants whose
work is silent as long as health re-
mains.
People strangely wait until pain
strikes nerve before they will realize
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 con.
meet these blood-purifying organs with
the brain. They may not gnaw and
bite as does the tooth-ache or a
scratch, but they regularly, silently
report. When these organs are failing
these nerves indicate it by draw
ing the blood from the face and cheek.
leaving the lip and eye b!anched, by
sending uric acid poison intothesmall-
est veins, the skin then becominggray,
yellow or brown. They also prevent
the publication of the. blood in the
lungs and cause pulmonary difficult
ties, 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 mer-
chant suceumbs in his counting-room.
These events should not have been I'M

feet is seen in n hundred forms; either
as congestion, chronic weakness, as
wrong action. as variable appetite, as
head troubles, as paipitation and ir.

decay, as dryness and harshness oil
the skin causing the hair to drop out
or turn gray, as apoplexv, as paralysis,
as general debility, blood poisoning,
etc.
Put no faith then in the wiseacre
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 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 expert.
mental tests, that you can make as
well as he.
IF the output is discolored or mud

crystals, sweet or morbid matter, is

.'These organs which we have de

are really the most important ones III
the human system, the ones in which
a large majority of human ailments,
originate and are sustained. are the
kidneys They have not been much
discussed in public because it is con-
coded that the profession has little
known power over them. What is
wanted for such organs is 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
in whom disease is deep seated it is
the only specific. For those IN
whom the seeds are sown and the be-
ginning of illness started it as unfaii-
ing reliance. 1t may be recommended
to the well to prevent sickness and
the sick to prevent death. With its
aid the great filtering engines of the
system keep on their silent work with
out interruptions; without it they get
out oil gear and then disease and death

Such writing ought not only to
please but to carry conviction that
what Editor Lassing, NJ. D..-so high
an authority--says is true, and that
ais counsel is worthy the attention
and heed OF all prudent, right-mindsd
people.
