WHAT SCIENCE SAYS.

Tho "Fearful and Wonderful" Meelhsn.
ism Of tho Human System Graphically
Portrayed
FIN the editorial columns Of the New York
Analust. II. Lasting, n D., editor, writes the
following beautiful description Of the labora-
tories Of the human system- We think We
have never read fiuer or more trustworthy
one.l
"Man is the greatest Of all chemical lab
oratories Magnify the smallest cell OF
the body and what 8 factory is spread be-
fore the eyes countless chambers in which
arc globes Of air, masses of solid matter,
globules Of dying liquid; a 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 to the brain, the muscles and the va
riOus nerve centerS.
I'm another set of million chambers we
see various gases and vapors. By chemic.
al action these are changed and purified
in the lungs and the skin. The blood we
often say is q great living river. In it,
current are masses which the air In the
lungs did not affect: blocks of chalk; slabs
of tartar; pieces of bone-ash, strings OF
albumen; drops of molasses, and lines OF
alcohol How are these waste masses dis
posed OF! Begin where you will IN this
great stream you must come to the purify
ing places of the system. Here is all &C
tivity and an invisible force reaches out
into the stream, seizes aud carries this mass
of waste into vast trenches, thence into
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 with
out robbing it Of 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 waltuntil pain strikes
a 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-purifyins
organs with the brain. They may not
gnaw and bite as does the tOoth-ache or a
scratch, but they regularly, silently report.
When these organs are failing 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 publication of the blood in the lungs
and cause pulmonary difficulties, WEAKNESS
and pain. Who enjoys perfect health, espe-
peciaily 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 q hundred forms; either as cOnges-
ton, chronic weakness, as wrong action,
d variable appetite, as head troubles, as
palpitation and irregularities of the heart,
as premature decay, as dryness and harsh
ness of the skin causing the hair to drop
out or turn gray, as apoplexy, as paralysis,
as general debility, blood poisoning, etc:
'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,
whoever he may be, who says it is mere
cold or a slight indispositiOn. Ho knows
little, if any, more than you do about it.
He can neither see nor examine these
organs and depends entirely upon expert
mental tests, that you can make as well as
he.

"These organs which we have described

most important ones in the human sy stem,

discussed in public because it is conceded
that the profession has little known power
over them. What is wanted for 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

seated it is the only specific. For those in
whom the seeds are sOwn and the begin

death. With it's aid the great filtering
engines Of the system keep on in their
silent work without interruption; without
it they get out of gear and then disease and
death open the door and cross the thresh-
old"
Such writing ought not only to please
but to carry conviction that what Editor
Lassing, M. D:,-so high an authority
says is true, and that his counsel is worthy
the attention and heed of all prudent, right
minded people.
