WFAT SCIENCE SAYS
The Fearful and Wonderful Mechanism OF
the Human System Graphically Per-
trayed.


In the editorial columns Of the New
York AHalgSt, II. Lassing, Nj. d., editor,
writes the following beautiful description
of the laboratories of the human system
We think we have never read IA finer or
more trustworthy one
'Man is the greatest of all chemical
laboratories. Magnify the smallest cell OF
the body and what factory is spread be

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 10 the brain, the muscles and the
various nerve centers.
In another set of "A million chambers we
see various gases and vapors. BY chem

masses which the air in the lungs did not
affect; blocks Of chalk: slabs of tarter;
pieces of bone-ash, strings or albumen;
drops of moasses, and lines of alcohol.
How are these waste masses disposed of

visible force reaches out into the stream,
seizes and carries this mass of waste into
vast trenches, thence into smaller reser-
voir, and finally into larger reservoir,
which regularly discharges its contents
This separation of lime, uric acid and
other waste material from the blood with

passes human comprehension. In health
this blood purifying process is carried on
without our knowledge. The organs In
which IL Is done are faithful servants
whose work is silent as long as health re-
mains.
People strangely wait until pain strikes

of the body. \ certain set of nerves con

organs are failing these nerves indicate 1T

especially in this land where we burn the
candle in one mass. The athlete breaks
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 hung
out her ''lanterns of alarm When the
accident finally comes, its fatal effect is
seen in a hundred forms; either as conges-
tion, chronic weakness, as wrong action, as
variable appetite, head troubles, as pal

premature decay, as dryness and harsh
ness of the skin causing the hair TO drop
out or turn gray. as appOplexy, as paraly-

says there is no danger as long as
there is no pain. Put no faith in the ply

these organs and depends entirely upon

well as he.
'If the output is discolored or muddy, if
it contains albumen, lymph, crystals, sweet

death are not far away.

says is true. and that his counsel is worthy
the attention and heed of all prudent,
