WHAT SCIENCE SAYS.
Tho "Fearful and Wonderful" Mcohau
ism Of the Human System Graphical


Ism of the Human System Graphically
Portrayed.
lin the editorial columns of the New York
Analyst, ii. Lasting, M. d., editor, writes the
following beautiful description of the !aDorar
tories of the human system. We think we
have never read finor or more trustworthy
one,
"Man is the greatest of all chemical lab
oratories Magnify the smallest cell OF
the body and what a factory Is spread be-
fore the eyes countless chambers in which
are globes Of air, masses Of solid matter,
globules Of dying liquid; flash comes and
the whole is consumed and needful heat is
carried into every part of the system.
Electrical forces also generate and are con-
veyed to the brain, the muscles and the va
rious nerve centers.
''In another set of q million chambers we
see various gases and vapors By chemic-
al action these are changed and purified
In the lungs and the skin. The blood we
often say is great living river. In its
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 dis
posed of Begin where you will in this
great stream you must como to the purify
tivity and an invisible force reaches out
into the stream, seizes and carries this mass
of waste into vast trenches, thence into
smaller reservoir, and finally into q larger
reservoir, which regularly discharges its
contents
"This separation of lime, uric acid and
other waste material from the blood with
out robbing 1t of a particle of the life fluid,
passes human comprehension. In health
this blood-purify ing 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.
"People strangely waituntil pain strikes
a 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 connect these blood-purifying
organs with the brain. They may not
| gnaw and bite as does the tooth-ache or q
scratch, but they regularly, silently report
When these organs are failing these nerves
face and cheek, leaving the lip and eye
blanched, by sending uric acid poison into
the smallest veins, the skin then becoming
| gray, yellow or brown. They also prevent
the publication of the blood in the lungs
and cause pulmonary difficulties, WEAKNESS
and pain. Who enjoys perfect health, espe-
pecially. in this land where we burn the
i
| down in the race; the editor falls at his
desk; the merchant succumbs in his count
ing-room. These events should not have
been unexpected for nature long ago hurg
out her lanterns of alarm When the
accident finally comes, its fatal effect is
seen in hundred forms; either as conges-
| tion, chronic weakness, as wrong action,
as variable appetite, as head troubles, as
palpitation and Irregularities Of the heart
as premature decay, as dryness and harsh
ness Of the skin causing the hair to DROP
out or turn gray, as apoplexy, as paralysis
as general debility, blood poisoning. etc;
"Put no faith then in the wiSeacre who
no pain. Put no faith In the physician
whoever he may be, who says it is a mere
cold or slight indisposition. He knows
little, il any, more than you do about it
He can neither see nor examine these
organs and depends entirely upon export
mental tests, that you can make as well a.
he.
"If the output is discolored or muddy, Il
it contains albumen, lymph, crystals, sweet
or morbid matter, is red with escaped
blood, or roily with gravel. mucus ant
froth, something is wrong and disease anC
death are not far away.
"These organs which we have described
thus at length, because they are really th,
most important ones in the human sy stem
man ailments originate and are sustained
are the kidneys. They have not been mucl
discussed in public because it is conceded
that the profession has little known powe
over them. WHAT'S wanted for such organ
is a simple medicine, which can do n,
harm to the most delicate but must be O
the greatest benefit to the afflicted. Sucl
a remedy, tried and proved by many thou
sands all over the world is Warmers SAT
cure. With those in whom disease is dee
seated it is the only specific. For those ii
whom the seeds are sown and the begin
ming of illness started it is an unfailing rel
ance. 1t may be recommended to the wei
to prevent sickness and the sick to proven
death. With its aid the great filterin
engines Of the system keep on in thei
silent work without interruption; withou
it they get out of gear and then disease an
death open the door and cross the threst
old"
Such writing ought not only to pleas
but to carry conviction that what Edito
, Lassing, M. D,-so high an authority
says is true, and that his counsel is worth
the attention and heed Of all prudent, right
minded people.
