I SCIENTIFIC TRUTH.
H@w Escape Smallpox with
Pest House In Broadway

Some time ago an article was published
in the Scientific american which at the time
attracted wide attention. By request of a
correspondent we reproduce the leading
points therein:
To understand how intimately related are
the human kidneys to the physical health,
vel ropose naetaphoricallv speaking to take
one from the human body and place it in
the wash-bowl before US, anosexamine it.
You will imagine that we have before us
body shaped like bean, smooth and
glistenlng, about four inches in length, two
in width and one in thickness. 1t weighs
in the adult about Eve ounces.
The boly of the average size man con-
tains about ten quarts of blood. every dror
of which passes through these flteyers or
sewers, many times day. las often as
through the heart,) making complete rev.
olution in three minutes. The kidney.
take away deadly impurities from IS gal
Ions Of blood each hour, about % a r.l'
each day, or 9,125 no. sheads year.
Let us slice this delicate organ open
Iengthwise, and roughly describe its inter-
Tor.
We find it to be filed with hundreds o.
little tubes, short and thread like, starting
from the arteries, ending in little tuf
about midway from the outside, opening
into sac which holds the water to further
undergo publication before it passes inte
the urelers, and out Of the body. These lit
tie tubes are filters which do their work au
tomatically, and right here the disease o
the kidneys first begins.
From the slightest irrsgularity in our
habits, from cold, from high living, from
stimulents or thousand and one other dai.
ly causes, they loose their force.
What is the RESULT Congestion or stop
page of the current OF blood in the small
blood vessels surrounding them, which be-
come blocked; these delicate membranes are
irritated; inAamation is set up, then pus is
formed, which collects in the sac; the tubei
are ar first partially, and soon totally unable
to do their work. The sac goes on distend-
ing with this corruption, pressing upon ths
blood vessels. All this time, remember
the blood, which is entering the kidneys to
be filtered, is passing through this terribly
disgusting pus, for it cannot take any othel
route.
1t would be just as reasonable to expec
to escape contagion if pest house were SCI
across Broadway and countless thousandl
were compelled to go through its pestilent
ial doors, as for one to expect the blood te
escape pollution when constantly running
through such diseased kidney.
Now, what is the result? Why, that the
blood takes up and deposits this poison as il
sweeps along into every organ, into every
tissue, flesh and bone, from your head ia
your feet. And whenever, from hereditary
influence or otherwise, one part Of the body
is weaker than another, a countless train o.
disease is established. such as consumption
in weak lungs, DYSPEPSIA, where there is 8
delic4te stomach. nervousness, insanity
paralysis or heart disease, in these who
have weak nerves and bad circulation.
But the medical profession. knowing thai
they cannot cure diseases of the kidneys
treat the manifold symptom, another secon-
Diary one appe airs, and so they 60 on, use
lessly treating effects, the cause being un-
touched.
But you say my kidneys are all right /
have no pain Ia the back. Mistaken man
People die Of kidney disease, Of so bad q
character that the organs are rotten, and
yet they never there had pain nor su
ache.
How can you know that you have kidney
disease?
Only by noting the general effects
wrought by the kidney poisoned blood in
other parts of the body. Kidney disease
disguises itse: under symptoms Of common
head, lungs, skin, liver, and stomach dis
orders.
If you notice that you are not in as reli-
able health as formerly, in any respect,
then the chances are that, though you may
have no known chronic disease, your blood
is full of uric kidney acid. Then comes in
the ounce If prevention. Then You should
use Warmers safe cure, the only trustworthy
specific for uric acid or kidney diseases.
primary or secondary.
The most skillfnl physicians cannot de-
tect such disease at times. for the kidneys
themselves cannot be examined by any
means which we have at our command.
Even an analysis of the water, chemically
and microscopically, reveals nothing def
nitely in many cases, even when the kid
neys are fairly broken down.
