That we may emphasize and clearly ex-
plain the relation the kidneys sustain to
the general health, and how much is de-
pendent upon them, we propose, meta
phorically speaking, to take one from the
human body, place in the wash-bowl be-
fore us, and examine it for the public bene-
] fit.
You will imagine that we have before us
n body shaped like bean, smooth and
glistening, about four inches in length,
two in width, and one in thickness IL or
dinarily weighs in the adult male, about
five ounces but is somewhat lighter in the
| female. small organf you say. But un-
derstand, the body of the average size
man contains about ten quarts Of ood, Of
| uhich eyerE drop passes through these filters or
'emerS, as they may be called. mcny times a
Gay often as through the heart, making
a complete revolution in three minutes.
From the blood they separate the waste
material, working away. steadily night
and day, sleeping or waking, tireless as
the heart itself, and fully OF as much
| vital Importance: removing impurities
from sixty-five gallons Of blood each hour, or
about forty nine barrels each day, or 9, 125
hogshead year! What wonder that
the kidneys can last any length of time
under this prodigious strain, treated and
neglected as they ares
We slice this delicate organ open length
wise with our knife, and will roughly des-
cribe its interior.
We find it to be of reddish-brown
color, soft and easily torn; filed with
hundreds Of little tubes short and thread
like starting from the arteries ending in
| a little tuft about midway from the out
side opening into a cavity of considerable
size, which is called the pelvis or, roughly
speaking. sac, which is for the purpose
| of holding the water TO further undergo
publication before il passes down from
| here into the ureters, and so on to the out
side Of the body These little tubes are
filters which do their work automatically,
and right here is Uhere the disease Of The kidneg
| first bCgins
Dong the vast amount of work which
they are obliged to- from the slightest ir-
regularity in our habits from cold, from
high living from stimulants or a thousand
| and one other causes which occur every
| day, they become somewhat weakened in
their nerve force.
What is the RESULT Congestion or STOP
page of the current of blood in the small
blood vessels surrounding them, which be-
are irritated; Inflammation is set up, then
pus is formed, which collects in the pelvis
| or sac; the tubes are at first partially, and
soon are totally unable to do their work.
The pelvic sac goes on distending 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 THIS terrible dis
gus'ing PCS, for it cannot take any other
| route!
Stop and think of it for moment. Do
! you realize the Importance nay the vital
| necessity, of having the kidneys in order!
Can you expect when they are diseased or
obstructed, no matter how little, that you
! can have Dnre blood and escdDe diSodSeF 1t
would be just as reasonable to expect, If
| a pest-house were set across Broadway
and countless thousands were compelled
to go through its pestilential doors, and
escape from contagion and disease, as for
one to expect the blood TO escape pollution
when constantly running through dis
| eaSed kidney.
Now. what is the result9 Why, that the
blood takes up and deposits this poison as
il sweeps along into every organ, into
every inch of muscle, tissue, flesh and
hone, from vour head 10 your feet. And
whenever, from hereditary influence or 9th
erwise, some part of the body is weaker
than another. countless train of diseases
is established, such consumption in
weak lungs, dyspepsia where there is a
delicate stomach; nervousness, insanity,
paralysis or heart disease in those who
have weak nerves.
The heart must ,on feel The effects Of the
poison as reYlair,S p,rr" UOod 10 keeD 10 in right
action. 1t increases il, stroke in number
and force to compensate for the natural
stimulus wanting in its endeavor 10 crowd
the impure blood through this obstruction,
causing pain, palpitation, or an out-of-
breath feeling. Unnatural as this forced
labor is, the heart must soon falter, becom-
ing weaker and weaker until one day il
suddenly stops, and death from apparent
"heart disease" is the verdict
But the medical profession, learned and
dignified, call these diseases by high sound
ing names. treat them alone and patients
die, for The arteries are carving s{oD death IN
the affected part. constantly adding fuel
brought from these suppurating, pus-laden
kidneys which here in our wash-bowl are
very putrefaction itself, and which should
have been cured first.
But this is not all the kidneys have to
do: for you mnst remember that each
adult takes about seven pounds of nouri sh-
ment every twenty-four hours TO supply
the waste OF the body which is constantly
going on. waste equal to the quantity
taken. This. too tie kidneys have to
composing matter. But you say, "My
kidneys are all right. | have no pain in
the back" Mistaken man. People die of
kidney disease of so bad a char

and yet they have hercr there had a
pain nor dt dche'
WHIT Because the disease begins, rs we
have shown, in the interior of the kidney,
where there are rew nel1eS OF feeling to con-
vey the sensation of pain. Why this is so
we may never know.
When you consider their great work, the
delicacy Of their structure. the ease with
which they are deranged can you wonder
at the i'll health OF our men and women!
Health and long life cannot be expected
when so vital an organ is impaired. No
| wonder some writers say we are degener-
ating Don't you see the great, the ex-
treme Importance of keeping this machin-
cry in working orderi Could the finest
engine do even fractional part of this
work, without attention from the engin-
eer! Don't you see how dangerous this
hidden disease isl 1t is lurking about us
constantly, without giving any indication
of it's presence.
The most skilled physicians cannot de-
| tect il at times, for The kidneys Themselves can
not be examined by any means which we
have at our command. Even an analysis
of the water, chemically and microscope
cally, reveals nothing definite in many
cases, even when the kidneys are fairly
broken down.
Then look out for them, as disease, no
matter where situated. to 90 per cent, as
shown by after death examination, has it's
origin In the breaking down of these Sc
GREETING tubes in the interior Of the kidney.
As you value health as you desire long
life free from sickness and suffering, give
these organs some attention. Keep them
in good condition and thus prevent las is
easily done) all disease.
