According TO Z medicei oathoslty,
the busiest Of all the vital or9Ansis the
liver. It's businsss is to manufacture
antidotes for poisons Il is RENDERS
ing establishment to which the little
corpses that accumulate in the body
are carried to be destroyed. just as in
cities dead animals are gathered up
by q scavenger and converted into
useful things.
All the corpuscles of the body die
every six weeks. Every second Of
our lives something like $4,000. 900
Of these red cells have to be disposed
Of and the liver does part Of the work
Of grinding them up and working
them over into someshirs useful.
The red corpusclss have potash in
them. which is used for making bile.
The bile is a kind Of I've for making
soap IN the small intestines. The
soap. like all good homemade soaps
Is dlSinfectant, Il is a splendid aIti.
septic and germicide.
The coloring matter is carefully
saved out Of these red cells and sent
back into the body to be used for
dyeing the hair, tinting the skin and
painting the dark chambers q ,bssys
where the photc9rGphing is done.
If the liver does not do this work
as sufficiently as il ought these little
corpses accumulate in the body. In
other words. the body becomes sep
ulchre aud we carry about with us
dead things that should have been
discharged from the body through the
bowels, the kidneys. the skin and the
lungs and should have returned to
duet again
The liver is a closed door which
keeps poisons out Of the rest Of the
body. The kidneys. skin and lungs
are open doors to let the poisons e..
cape from the body. When there
comes such food upon the liver Is

Then the blood is not purified. tie

brain becomes confused, dull, stupid
and the man feels bilious the poisons

All the food taken into the stomach
is filtered by the liver before It is abb
sorbed. That is Why one can. with
apparent impunity. take such things
as tea and coffee. wbiskey. beer. TO-
baccc, etc. All these impurities are
passed through the liver before they
get into the general circulation. II

When the liver is plump and
healthy. full Of glycoesn made from
the blood. it has a wonderful faculty
for destroying poisons, bat Starved
