In the editorial columns of the New
York AHalyst, II. Lasslng, NJ. ID. editor,
writes the following beautiful descrip--
ton of the Laboratories OF the human
system. We think we have never read
a finer or more trustworthy one:
''Man is the greatest Of all chemical
laboratories. Magnify the smallest cell
Of the body and what factory ia spread
before the eyesi countless chambers in
which are globes Of air, masses OF solid
una tier, globules Of dying liquid; a fissh
comes and the. whole is consumed and
needful heat is carried into every part OF
the system. Electrical forces also gen
crate and are conveyed to the brain, the
| muscles and the various nerve centers.
In another set OF a million chambers
we see various gases aud vapors. BY
| chemical action these are changed and
purified ia the lungs and the skin. The
blood we often say is a great living river.
| In its current are masses which the air
| Ia the lungs did not affect: blocks OF
chalk; slabs Of tartar; pieces OF bone
ash; strings of albumen; drops of mo
| lasses, and lines of alcohol. How are
these waste masses disposed Off 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, seizes and carries this mass Of
waste into vast II enehes, thence into q
smaller reservoir, and finally into larger
reservoir. which regularly discharges its
contents.
This separation Of lime. uric acid and
other waste material from the blood
without robbing it of q particle Of the
life faid. passes human comprehension.
In health, this blood purifying process
Is carried on without our knowledge.
The organs in which it ia done are faith
full servants whose work Is silent as long
as health remains,
People strangely wait an'il 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 cosneet 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 falling thes.
nerves Indicate it by drawing 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 then becoming gray, yellow or
brown. They also prevent the purfica-
ton of the blood in the lungs and cause
pulmonary difficulties, weariness and
pain. Who enjoys perfect health, es-

| candle in one mass, The athlete breaks
down in the race; the editor falls at his
desk; the merchant succumbs in his
eounting-room. These events should not
have been unexpected, for nature long
ago hung out her "lanterns of alarm"
When the accident" finally comes, its
fatal effect is seen in hundred forms;
sither as congestion. chronic weakness,
as wrong action. as variable appetite. as
bead troubles. as palpitation and irregu-
| larities of the heart, as premature de-
| cay, as dryness and harshness of the
skin. causing the hair to drop out or
urn gray. as apoplexy, as paralysis. as
general debility, blood poisoning, etc.

He knows little. il any. more than you
do about it. He can neither see nor ex-

make as well as he.

large majority of human ailments orig

them. What is wanted tor 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

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 in their
silent work without interruption; with
out it they get out of gear and then dis
ease and death open the door aud cross

but to carry conviction that what Editor
Lassing, NJ. d so high an authority-
says is true, and that his counsel is
worthy the attention and heed of all
