The weekly Floridian. [volume] (Tallahassee, Fla.) 1867-19??, 1888-01-12

Some time ago An article was publish
ed in the Scientific Anserican which at
the time attracted wide attention. BY
request Of . correspondent we reproduce
the leading points therein
To understand how intimately related
are the human kidneys to the physical
health, I'VE propose, metaphoYically
speaking, to take one from the haman
body and place it in the wash bowl, be-
fore IA, and examine it.''
You will imagine that we have before
us a body shaped like bean, smooth and
glistening, about four inches in myth,
two in width and one in thickness. 1t
weighs in the adult about Eve ounces.
The body Of the average size man con-
tains about ten quarts of blood, every
drop of which passes through these III
terers or sewers, many times day, tas
often as through the heart,) making .
complete revolution In three minutes.
The kidneys take away deadly impurities
from 65 gallons of blood each hour, or
about 40 barrels each day, or s,l25 hogs
heads year.
Letus slice this delicate organ open
lengthwise, and roughly describe its in.
terror.
We find it to be filled with hundreds
of little tubes, short and thread like,
starting from the arteries, ending in
little tuft about midway from the outside,
opening into sac which holds the water
to further undergo publication before it
passes into the ureters, and out Of the
body. These little tubes are filters which
do their work automatically, and right
here the disease of the kidneys first be-
gins.
From the slightest irreguIarity in our
habits, from cold, from high living, from
stimulants or a thousand and one other
daily causes, they lose their force.
What is the result? Congestion or
stoppage of the current Of blood in the
small blood vessels surrounding them,
which become blocked; these delicate
membranes are irritated; inflammation is
set up, then pus is formed, which collects
in the sac the tubes are at first partially.
and soon totally unable TO do their work.
The sac goes on distending with this cor
ruption, pressing upon the 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 other route.
1t would be just as reasonable to ex-
pect to escape contagion if pest-house
were set across Broadway and countless
thousands were compelled to go through
its pestilential doors, as for one to expect
the blood to escape pollution when con-
stantly running through such diseased
kidney.
Now, what is the result ? Why. that
the blood takes up and deposits this poi
son as it sweeps along into every organ.
into every inch of muscle, tissue, flesh
and bone, from your head to your feet.
And whenever, from hereditary influence
orotherwise, one part ofthe body is weaker
than another, countless train of dis
eases is established, such as consumption
IN weak lungs, dyspepsia, where there is q
delicate stomach, nervousness, insanity,
paralysis or heart disease, in those who
have weak nerves and bad circulation.
But the medical profession, knowing
that they cannot cure diseases Of the kid
neys, treat the manifold symptoms caused
by this primary or causative disease. As
fast as they cure one symptom, another
secondary one appears, and so they 60 on,
uselessly treating effects, tho cause being
untouched.
But you say "my kidneys are all right.
| have no pain in the back" Mistaken
man! People die of kidney disease. of 80
bad a character that the organs are rotten.
and yet they never there had pain nor
an 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 itself under symptoms of CON-
mon head, lungs, skin, liver, and stomach
disorders.
If you notice that you are not in a. re-
liable health as formerly, in any respect,
then the chances are that, though you
have no known chronic disease, your blood
is full of uric kidney acid. Then comes in
the ounce of prevention. Then you should
use Warmers safe cure, the only trust
worthy specific for uric acid or kidney
disease, primary or secondary.
The most skillful physicians cannot de-
tect such disease at times, for the kidneys
themselves cannot be examined by snv
means which we have at our command.
Even an analysis of the water, chemically
and microseopically. reveals nothing de-
finite In many cases, even when the kid
neys are fairly broken down.
Then look out for them, as disease. no
matter where situated, to 90 per cent. a.
shown by after death examinations. has
its origin in the breaking down of these
secreting tubes in the interior of the kid
ney.
Warmers safe cure, as it becomes wear
after year better known for its wonderful
cures and its power over the kidneys, has
done and is doing more to increase the
average duration of life than all the phy-
sicians known. II is true specific. mild
but certain, harmless but energetic and
agreeable to the taste.
Take it when sick, as q cure, and never
let month go by without taking few
bottles as a preventative, that the kid
neys may be kept in proper order, the
blosd pure, that health and long life NAV
be your blessing.
