That we may emphasize and clearly ex-
plain the relation the kidneys sustain to !
the general health, and how much is de- |
pendent upon them, we propose, meta /
phorically speaking, 90 take one from the |
human body, place in the wash-bowl be- |
fore us and examine it for the public BEN /
eft.
You will imagine that we have before US
a body shaped like a bean, smooth and |
glistening, about four inches in length, two
in width, and one in thickness. 1t ordi- |
narily weighs in the adult male, about five
ounces, but is somewhat lighter in the fe-
male. A small organ! you say But I'M
derstand the body of the average size man
contains about ten quarts oJ blood, Of Wh'ch
eUtrg drop passes t3rOEgh these filters or seufrs,
as they may be called ndHy times Dag, as
often as through the heart, making COM
plete revolution in three minutes. From the
blood they separate the waste material,
working away steadily night and day,
sleeping or waking, tireless as the heart it
self, and fully ofRs much vital Importance;
removing impurities from siXty-tive cations

rels each day, or Q, l25 hogsheads a year!
What a wonder that the kidneys can last
any length of tilno under this prodigiOus
strain, treated and neglected as they arel
We slice this delicate organ open length
wise with our knife, and will roughly de
scribe its interior.
We find it to be of a reddish-brown
color soft aud easily torn; filed with
hundreds of little tubes, short and thread
| like, starting from the arteries, ending in
q little tuft about midway from the out
side opening into u cavity of considerable
size, which is called the pelvis, or rough
| lv-speaking, Il 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 10 the out
side of the body. These little tubes ara
the filters, which do their work automat-
ically, and right here is rhere the disease Of The
kidney first begins.
Doing the vast amount of work which
they are obliged to, from the slightest ir-
regularity in our habits, from cold, from
| high living from stimulants or a thousand
and one other causes which occur every
| day they become somewhat weakened in
their nerve force.

| blood vessels surrounding them, which be-
come blocked; these delicate membranes
/ are irritated; Inflammation is set up then
! pus is formed, which collects in the pelvs
| or sac; 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 YES

which is entering the kidneys to be i'll
