In your mouth are innumerable lit
tie muscles. They contract. like
squeezing the bulb Of a syringe. Like
! IN the Jaws of a rattle snake. When
you chew there Is a secretion called
saliva that comes out and mixes with
the gastric Juice and other juices and
aids digestion. And is the case OF a
fellow who drinks, the refuse matter
can't be put In the gall bladder and
1t passes Off through the stool but
goes through his body. and the whites
OF his eyes turn yellow. his skin turns
yellow and his mouth becomes dry.
: What's the cause? Nothing under
Gods heaven but the failure of the
liver to take out OF the body a sub
stance that shouldn't be there: and

Work OF the Heart.
I Then We come to the heart The
heart drives the blood through your
veins. 1t IL the most wonderful
pumping station In the world. Your
blood is pumped through miles and
miles Of veins and arteries every day.
Your heart beats 100000 time in a
day: 100000 times in year. and
IT never stops. And when 1t does
stop they phone for the undertaken.
When your heart is affected you al
ways have trouble.
! Then your kidneye-they are right
here. Every fellow has two Kidneys
shaped something like your hand.
with a lot of tubes in them like your
fingers. Here's a fellow that drinks.
Every drop OF blood in your body is
filtered through your kidneys. The
kidneys are the filtering plant Of
your body. Every city has its filter
ing plant where the water is filter
a. hntrrA sy.%1 b.
And every drop Of blood in your body
shoots through your Kidneys and In
filtered every minute, and the kid
neys take out of your blood sub
stance known as uric acid. puts 1T II
your bladder and II passes OFF
through the urine.
Here's a fellow that hits the booze,
and the effect OF the alcohol causes
these tissus TO become nall twisted up
like this. Hence this uric acid can't
get through those tubes to get into
the bladder and II is taken up by the
circulation of his body. What's tho
matter? lie has BriGht's disease,
What IL Brishts disease Nothing
under heaven but case OF too much
whiskey making II impossible for the
kidneys to do their work properly,
The most conservative statistics Of
Uncle Sam reveal the fact that eighty
seven cut OF every hundred have Kid
ney trouble. What's the natter oh,
they are going down tho line, Ard
