WHAT SCIENCE SAYS.

The Fearful and Wonderful" Mechan.
is1n OF the Anman SYSTEM Graphically
Portrayed.
Analyst. II. LEASING, M. D.. editor, writes the
following beautiful description of the labora-
tories OF the human system We think we nave
never read q finer or more trustworthy one.j
Man is the greatest of all chemical la
borator;es. Magnify the smallest cell OF
the body and what q factory is spread be-
fore the eyes, countless chambers in which
are globes of air, ma sses of solid matter.
globules of dying liquid; a flash comes and
the whole is consumed and needful heat Ia
carried into every part OF the system. Elec-
trical forces also generate and are conveyed
to the brain, the muscles and the various
nerve centers.
"In another set of a million chambers we
see various gasses and vapors. By chemi-
cal action these are changed and purified in
the lungs and the skin. The blood we often
say is a great living river. In it's current
are masses which the air in the lungs did
not affect: blocks of chalk; slabs of tartar;
pieces OF bone-ash; strings OF albumen;
drops of molasses, and lines of alcohol.
How are these waste masses disposed of?
Begin where you will in this great stream
you must come to the purifying places OF
the system. Here is all activity and an in
visible force reaches out into the stream,
sezes and carries this mass of waste into
vast trenches, thence into smaller reser-
voir, and finally into larger reservoir,
which regularly discharges it's contents.
This separation of lime, uric acid and
other waste material from the blood with
out 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 organs in
which it is done are faithful servants whose
work is silent as long as health remains.

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 or bite as does
the tooth-ache or a scratch, but they regu-
larly, silently report. When these organs
are failing these nerves indicate it by draw
ing the blood from the face and cheek, leav-
ing the lip and eye blanched, by sending uric
acid poison into the smallest veins, the skin
t..ien becoming gray, yellow or brown. They
also prevent the publication OF the blood
in the lungs and cause pulmonary difficult
ties, WEAKNESS and pain. Who enjoys per-
feet 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 long ago

PUT no faith then in the wiseacre who
says there is no danger as long as there Ia
no pain. Put no faith in the physician,
whoever he may be, who says 1t is mere
cold or slight indisposition. He knows
little, il any, more than you do about it.
He can neither see nor examine these or
gans, and depends entirely upon the expert
mental tests, that you can make as we'll as
he.
IF the output is discolored or muddy, if
it contains albumen, lymph, crystals,
sweet or morbid matter, is red with escaped
blood, or roily with gravel mucus and
roth, something is wrong and disease and
death are not far away.
These organs which we have described
thus at length, because they are really the
most important ones in the human system,
the ones in which large majority of hu.
man ailments originate and are sustained,
are the kidneys. They have not been much
discussed in public because it is conceded
that the profession has little known power
over them. What is wanted for such
organs is a simple medicine which can do
no harm to the most delicate but must be
OF the greatest benefit to the afflicted.
Such 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 is an unfailing
reliance. It may be recommended to the
well to prevent sickness and the sick to pre-.
vent death. With it's aid the great filter
ing engines of the system keop on in their
silent work without interruption; without
it they get out OF gear and then disease and
death open the door and cross the thresh-
old"
Such writing ought not only to please
but to carry conviction that what Editor
Lassipg, M. D.,-so high an authority
says is true, and that his counsel is worthy
the attention and heed of all prudent, right
minded people.
