The "Fearful and Wonderful" Mechan-
ism of the Human System Graphically
Portrayed.
lin the editorial columns of the New York
didlys', II, Lassing, NJ D, editor, writes tho
| following beautiful description of the labora-
tories of the human system. we think we
| have never read a finer or more Trustworthy
| one.l
"Man is the greatest of all chemical lab.
oratories. Magnify this smallest cell Of
5he body and what a factory Is spread be-
Tore the eyes countless chambers in which
.ra globes of air, masses of solid matter,
| slobules OF dying liquid; flash comes and
;he whole is consumed aid peedful 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
| .ious nerve centers.
In another set of q million chambers we
see various gases and vapors. BY chemic-
ii action these arc changed and purified
| m the lungs and the skin. Toe blood we
| often say is 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 of
albumen; drops of molasses, and lines of
alcohol How are these waste masses dis
| posed off Begin where you will in this
great stream you must come to the purify
ng places of the system. Here is all &C.
5ivity and an invisible force reaches out
| nto the stream, seizes and carries this mass
)f waste into vast trenches, thence into
| smaller reservoir, and finally into q 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 a particle of the life fluid,
oasses human comprehension In health
his 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 waituntil pain strikes
| nerve before they will realize that they
lave 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
ynaw 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
olanched, by sending ulic acid poison into
The smallest veins the skin then becoming
gray, yellow or brown. They also prevent
The publication of the blood in tho lungs
and cause pulmonary difficulties, WEAKNESS
and pain. Who enjoys perfect health, espe-
pecially in this land whore we burn the
candle in one mass! The athlete breaks
down in the race; the editor falls at his
iesk; tho merchant succumbs in his count
ing-loom. 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 III hundred forms; either as conges-
lion, chronic weakness, as wrong action,
as variable appetite, as head troubles, as
palpitation and Irregularities of the heart,
as premature decay, as dIyness and harsh
ness of the skin causing the hair to drop
out or turn gray, as apoplexy, as paralysis,
"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 a mere
cold OF slight indispositon. He 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 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, mucus and
troth, 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 q large majority of hui
man ailments originate and are sustained,
are the kidneys. They have not been much
discussed in public because it is conceded
that the profession has little known power
over them. WHAT'S wanted for such organs
is simple medicine, which can do no
harm to the most delicate but must be of
the greatest benefit to the afflicted. Such
remedy, tried and proved by many thou
sands all over the world is Warmers safe
cure. With those in whom disease is deep
seated it is the only specific. For those in
whom the seeds are sown and the begin
ming of illness started it is an unfailing reli-
ance. 1t may be recommended to the we'll
to prevent sickness and the sick to prevent
death. With its aid the great altering
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
Lasting M. D.,--so high an au hority-
says is true, and that his counsel is worthy
the attention and heed of all prudent, right
minded people
