 Man is tho greatest of all chemical labor atories. Magnify the smallest cell of the body and what a factory is spread before the eyes countess chambers in which arc globes of air, masses of solid matter, globues of dying liquid; flash comes and the whole is con stunned and needful heat is carried into every part of the system. Electrical forces also generate and are conveyed to the brain, the muscles and the various nerve centres.
 "In another set of million chambers we sec various gases and vapors By chemical action thess are changed and purified in the lungs and the skin The blood we often say is great living river. In its current arc masses which the air in the lungs did not af- feet: blocks of chalk; slabs of tartar; pieces molasses. and lines of alcohol. How are these waste masses disposed of? Begin where you will ill this great stream, you must come to the purifying places of the sys- tenn. Hero is all activity and an invisible force reaches out into tho stream seizes and carries this mass of waste into vast trenches, thence into smaller reservoir, and finally into larger reservoir, which regularly dis charges its contents.
 ''This separation of lime, uric acid and other waste material from the blood, without rob ping 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.
 People strangely wait until pain strikes Q 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 scratch, but they regularly, silently report. When these organs are fail ing these nerves indicate it by drawing the blood from the 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 purification of the blood in the lungs and cause pulmonary difficulties, weari- ness and pain. Who enjoys perfect health, especially in this land where we burn tho candle in one mass? The athlete breaks down in the race; the editor falls at his desk; the These events should not have been un- expected, for nature long ago hung out her lanterns of alarm When the accident" finally comes, its fatal effect is seen in hundred forms; either as conges- tlon, chronic weakness, as wrong action as variable appetite, as head troubles, as palpi- tation and irregularities of the heart, as premature decay, as dryness and harshness of the skin, causing the hair to drop out or eral era debility, T blood poisoning, m M etc. ' ~ s
 "Put no faith then in the wiseacre who says there is no danger as long as there is no pain. Put no faith in the physician, who- ever he may be, who says it is . mere cold or slight indispostion. He knows little, if any, moro than you do about it. He can neither see nor examine these organs and de- pends entirely upon experimental 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, nlucus and froth, some thing is wrong and disease and death are not far away
 "These organs which we have described thus at length, because they arc really the most important ones in the human system, the ones in which large majority of human ailments originate and are sustained, are the kidneys. They have not been much discussed in public, because it is conceded that the pro- fessior has little known power over them. What is wanted for such organs is a simple l medicine, which can do no harm to the most l delicate, but must be of the greatest benefit to the afflicted. Such @ remedy, tried ana da by many thousands xsa all 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 pre- | vent sickness, and the sick to prevent death. With its aid the great Altering engines of the l system keep on in their silent work without | interruptions; without it they get out of geaI | and then disease and death open the dool | and cross tho threshold"
 Such writing ought not only to please, bu, l to carry conviction that what Editor Lass l ing, M. D.-so high an authority-says i: l true, and that his counsel is worthy the at | tention and heed of all prudent, right l minded people
