That we may emphasize and clearly sx
plain the relation the kidneys sustain to the
general health aud how much is dependent
upon them, we propose, metaphorcally
speaking, TO take one from the human body,
place it in the wash-5owl before us, and ex.
anime it for the public benefit
You will imagine that We have before US
body shaped like a bean, smooth and glisten-
ing, aboutf0ur inches in length, two IN width,
aud one in thicliueeS IL ordinarily weighs
In tho adult male about five ounces, but is
somewhat lighter III the female A small
organ You say. But understand, the body
OF the average size man contains about ten
quarts ~ btOOd, Of IDhtch erery drOD passes
thrOUgh these pliers ar seWers, as they may
be called mnng times u don rs often as
through the heart making a complete reyO-
luton IN three minpt'S From the blood
they separate the waste material, working
away steadily night aud day, sleeping or
waxing, ttreiesS as the heart itself, and fully
OF a. much vital Importance removing I'M
puritieS from sixty-five buttons 81 blood pdch
hour, or about forty nine barrels each day,
or ., rs hogsheads year. What wonder
that the kidneys can last any length of time
under this prodigioas strain, treated and
neglected. as they arel
We siee this delicate organ open length
wise with our kuife, ami will roug hly do
scrSe its interior.
W. lind it to be OF a reddisn.brOwn toor,
soft and easily torn; filled with hundreds of
little tubes, short and threa Hike, starting
from the arteries ending ia a little tuft about
midway from tho outside opening into n
cavity Of considerable size, which is called
the pelvis or roughly speaking. sac " hich
is for tho purpose OF holding the water to
further undergo publication before it passes
down from here into the ursters and 50 on
To the outside Of the body. These little tubes
are the filters whch do their work aato-
matirally, and right here IS where The diS-
e9s' Of III kldneB first 6sgtns.
Doing the vast amount Of work which
they arc obliged TO, from the sli2h rreg-
ularity in our habits, from cold, from high
living, from stimulants or thousand aud
Que other causes which occur every day, they
become somewhat weakened in tbeir nerve
force. -.
- nat is the result Congestion or stoppago
of the current Of blood III che small blood
vessels surrounding them which become
blocked these delica membranes are iTri-
tated; inflammation is set up, then puS is
formed. which collects in the pelviS or Sa:;
the tubes are at first partially, and s0on ara
totally unable 10 do their work The pelvic
sac goes on disteuding with this corruption,
pressing upon the blood vessels All this
time, remember, the blood, which is entering
the kidneys to be filtered, is passing through
thi5 terrible, disgusting pts, for it cannot
take any other route!
Stop and think Of it for a momentl Do
you realize the Importance, nay the vital ne
ceSsity, OF having the kidneys III order! Can
You expect when they are diseased or OBJ
structed, no matter how little, that you eau
have pure blood and Escape diSsaSep IL
would be just as reasonable to expect, if
pestrhouSe We're set across Broadway and
countless thou, 0nds were compelled TO go
through its pestiential doors, an escape from
Contagion and disease. as for one to expect
the blood to escape pollution when con family
running through diseased kidney.
Now what IS the result! Why that the
blood takes up and deposits this poison as it
sweeps along into every organ into every
inch of muscle, tissue, flesh and bone from
your head to your feet And whenever, from
hereditary influence or otherwise, soma part
of the body is weaker than another, q count
less train OF diseases is established such as
consumption IN weak lungs, dyspepsia where
there is delicate stomach; nervousness in
sanity, paralysis or heart disease in those
who have weak nerves
1He mart must soon feel ihe effects OF the
poison, uS II requires pure Blood 10 keep it
an r3Gtt action. It increases its stroke in
number and force to compensate for the
natural stimulus wanting, IN its eudaavor to
crowd the impure blood through this OBJ
SIrucu0n, causing yaln, palplLat!On, or an
out-of-breaJh feeling Unnatural as this
forced labor is tho heart must soon falter,
becoming W nker and weaker until ore day
1t SrG9an{g stops, and death from apparent
''hoaNt disease is the verdict
But the medical profess on, learned and
dignlhei, call these diseases by high sounding
names, treat them alone, and patents die,
}or tie arteries ere c1y4g1nI Si0l3 deut6 10
me affected porf, constantly adding fuel
brought from these suppurating pus-laden
Kidneys which here in our wash bowl are
very putreiaCtion itself, and which should
have been cured first
Eut this is not al tho kiiuerS have to do:
for you must remember that ca ii adult takes
alb nut seven pounds of punishment every
twenty-foCr hoIrS 10 supply tn waste of the
body which IS constantly going on, waste
equal to the quantity taken. This, too, the
kldueyS have to Sep2rate FROM the blood with
all other de 'onE0sin.s matter.
But Won say: "NTy kidneys are all right. I
have no pain in The b2c&.n Mistaken man!
People die or kidney disease OF 50 bad char
acter that tho organs are rotten, and yet
they have lerer there had pam nor an

Whyl Because the disease begins, as we
have shown, in the int rior OF tho kidney,

When you consider their great work, the
deliC acy of Gheir structure, the ease with
which they are deraaged, can you wonder at
