lin the editorial columns OF the New York
Analyst, II. Lassing. M D., editor, writos the
tories Of the human system. We think we
have never read liner or more trustworthy
onc.l
"Man Is the greatest Of all chemical lab
oratories. Magnify the smallest cell Of
the body and what factory is spread be-
fore the eyes countless chambers in which
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 va
rious nerve centers.
"In another set OF a million chambers we
see various gasses and vapors. By chemic.
al action these are changed and purified
In the lungs and the skin. The blood we
often say is a great living river. In its
current are masses which the air in the
lungs did not affect: blocks of chalk; slabs
OF tartar; pieces OF bone ash, strings or
abumen; 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 10 the purify
/ ing places OF the system. Here Is all ac-
tiyity and an invisible force reaches out
| into the stream, seizes and carries this mass
Of waste into vast trenches, thence into
smaller reservoir, and finally. into a larger
reservoir, which regularly discharges It's
| contents. 4,
"This separation Of lime, uric acid and
other waste material from the blood with
out robbing it OF a particle OF tho life mud,
passes human comprehension In health
this blood-purifying process Is carried on
without our knowledge The organs In

work il silent as long as health remains.
"Pcope strangely wait until 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-purifying
organs with the brain. They may not
gpaw and bite as does the tooth-ache or o
scratch, but they regularly, silently report.
When these organs are failing these nerves
indicate it by drawing the blood rom tne
face and cheek, leaving the lip and eye
blanched, by sending uric acid poison into
the smallest veins the skin then becoming
pray. yellow or brown. They also prevent
the purifcation of the blood in the lnngs
and cause pulmonary difficulties, WEAKNESS
and pain. Who enjoys perfect health, espe-
pecially In this land where we burn the
candle in one massi 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 hurg
out her lanterns OF alarm when the
accident finally comes, its fatal effect Is
seen in hundred forms; either as ccnges-
ton, chronic weakness, as wrong actioni
as variable appetite, as head troubles, AZ
palpitation and Irregularities OF the heart,
as premature decay, as dryness ana harsh
ness OF the skin causing the hair TO drop
out or turn gray, as apoplexy, as paralysis,
Us general debility, blood poisoning, ETC.
"Put no faith then in the wiseacre who
says there is no danger as long as there IL
no pain. Put no faith IN the physician,
whoever he may be, who says 1t Is mere
cold or a slight indisposition. He knows
little, il any, more than you do about IL
He can neither see nor examine these
organs and depends entirely upon expert
mental tests, that you can make as well q,
"If the output Is discolored or muddy, II
1t contains albumen, lymph, crystals sweet
or morbid matter, is red with escaped
blood, or roily with gravel, mucus and
froth, something is wrong and disease and
death are not far away.
"These organs which we have described
thus at length, because they are really the
most important ones In the human system
the ones in which a large majority Of hu
man ailments originate and are sustained
| are the kidneys. They have not been much
discussed in public because 1t is conceded
that the profession has little known power
over them: WHAT'S wanted for such organs
is simple medicine, which can do nc
harm TO the most delicate but must be oi
the greatest benefit to the afflicted. Such
a remedy, tried aud proved by many thou
sands all over the world Is Warmers safe
cure. With those In whom disease Is deer
seated it is the only specific. For those In
whom the seeds are sown and the begin
ming Of illness started il is an unfailing reli
ance. 1t may be recommended to the well
TO prevent sickness and the sick to prevent
death. With its aid the great hlterinl
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.
