Ot wMcn the Public Knowtbut Little, worthy caret ul Consideration To Mr Editor of tht Scientific American: Will yo permit ut to make known to th pubUftht fveit w have learned during the art 8 yeart, concerning ditordert of the human kidnty and th organ which dit laud kidnty to eaiily break down. You art conducting a tcientific paper and are unprejudiced except in favor of Tnvru. It it uttleti to ay no medical Journal of "Code" tlanding would admit then fact for vtry obviott reaton. H. 11. WARXER A CO., Proprietor of "Warner' Safe Cure." That wo may emphasize and clearly explain tho relation tSo kidneys sustain to tho peaeral health, and how much Is dependent upon thorn, wo propose, met aphorically speaking, to take ono from tho human body, placo in tho wash bowl bvforo as, and examine It for the public benefit. You will imaolno that wo have be f oro 1 us a body shaped liko a bean, smooth ana glistening, about four inches in length, two in width and one In thick ness. It ordlavsrily weighs in tho adult male about five ounces, but is somewhat lighter In tho female. A small organ 7 you say. But understand, tho body of the average sits man contains about ten quart of blod, of which every drop Saiitt through thtte filter or tewert. as iey may be called, many time a day, Morton, as the heart, making a corn plote revolution in three minute. From the blood they separate the waste material, working away steadily night and day, leiplri or waking, tireless as tho heart itswff, and fully ot as much importance ; rscaovlng impurities from sixty-five gal lon of blood each hour, or about forty nine barrels each day, or 0,125 hogs heads a year 1 What a wonder that tho kidneys can last any length of timo under this prodigious strain, treated and neglected as they aro? Wo slico this dellcato organ open lengtliwine with our knife and will rough ly describe its Interior: Wo find it to bo of a reddish-brown color, sott and easily torn, filled with hundreds of littlo tubes, short and thread-like, starting from tho arteries,, ending In a littlo tuft about midway from the outside oponinz of a cavity of con siderable sire, which is called tho pelvis, or, roughly speaking, a sack, which is for the purposo of holding tho water to further undergo purification before it passes' down from hero Into the motors, and bo on to tho outside of tho body. Thteo littlo tubes aro tho filters which do their work automatically, and riqht here i where th diteate of the kidney firtt begin. Doing tho vast amount of work which they aro obliged to, from tho slightest Irrcgularitv in our habits, from cold, from high living, from stimulants or n thousand and one other causes which occur every day, thoy become somewhat weakened in their nerve force. What is the result? Congestion or stoppage of the current of blood in tho small blood vessels surrounding them, which become blocked: these dellcato membranes are Irritated; inflammation is set up. then pus is formed, which col lects in the pelvis or sac; tho tubes nro at first partially, and soon aro totally, unable to do their work. Tim pelvic ac goes on distending with this corrup tion, pressing upon tho blood vessels. All this time, remember, tho blood, which is entering tho kidneys to bo fil tered, ie patting through thit terrible, dit gutting put; for it cannot take any other route! Stop and think of it for a moment. Do you realize the importance, nay the vital necessity, of having tho kldnoys in order? Canyon expect when they aro diseased or obstructed, no rnattor how little, that you can havo pure blood and escape diieattt It would bo lust as rea sonable to expect, if a pest-nouse were set across Broad wav and countless thou sands were compelled to go through its pestilential doors, and escape from conta- Son and disease, as for .one to expect e' blood to escape pollution when con stantly running through a diseased kid ney. Now, what Is the result? Why, that the blood takes up and deposits this poison as it sweeps along into every organ, into every inch of muscle, tissue, flesh and bone, from your head to your fset. And whenever, from hereditary influence or othewiso, some part of the body is weaker than another, a countless train of diseases is established, sueh as consumption in weak lungs, dyspepsia, where there is a delicate Btomach: nervousness, insanity, paralysis or heart disease in Uiosm who have weak nerves. The heart mutt toon feel the effect of th poiton, at it require pure blood to keepit in right action. It increases its stroke in' number and force to compensate for the natural stimulus wanting, in its en deavor to crowd the impure blood through thels obstruction, causing pain, palpitation, or an oot-oi-breath feeling. Unnatural as this forced labor is, the heart must soon falter, becoming weaker and weaker until one day it tuddenly itopi, and death from apparent " heart disease" is the verdict. aM But tho medical profession, learned and dignified, call these diseases by high Bounding names, treat them alone, and patients die, for th arterie are carrying tlovi death to the affected part, constantly adding fuel brought from these suppurat ing, pus-laden kidneys which herein our wash-bowl are very putrefaction itself, and which should have bean cured first. But this is not all the kidneys have to do; for you must remember that each adult takes about seven pounds of nourishment every twenty-four hours to supply the waste of the body which is constantly gotag on, n waste equal to tha quantity .taken. This, too, the kidneys have to separate from the blood with all other decomposing matter. But you say, "My kidneys are all riant. have no pain in the back," Mistaken man! People die of kidney disease of so bad a character that the organs are rotten, and yet they have never thtr had pain or an atht I Why? Becamee the disease begins, as we nave shown, in the interior of the kidneys, where thtr art few ntru oj fetUng to convey the sensation of pain. Way this hi so we may never know. When yen consider Uielr great work, wHh which they are deranged, can you wastder at the lll-heaMa of ear sacs and tea? HeaMfe ana Ions: Uff cannot be wsyscted when so vital aa organ is unpaired. No wonder some writers say we at egeneratiaf . Don't yon see the great, the extreme importance ol keeping this machinery In working order? Could the finest engine do even a fractional part of this work, without attention from the engineer 7 Don't you see how dangerous this hidden diecaso is? It is lurking about us constantly, without giving any indication of its presence. The meet skillful physicians cannot detect it at times, for the kidney them telvet cannot be examined by any moans which wo havo at our command. Even an analysis ot the water, chemically and microscopically, reveals nothing definite in many cases, even when tho kidneys aro fairly broken down. Then look out for them, as dlseaso, no matter where situated, to 93 per cent., as shown by after death examinations, has its origin in the breaking down ol thoso secreting tubes in tho interior ol the kidney. As you valuo health, as you deslro long life free from sickness anil suffering, give these organs some attention. Keep them in good condition and thus prevent (as is easily dono) all disease. Warner's Sato Cure, as it becomes year after year better known for its wonderiul cures and its power over tho kidneys, has done and is doing moro to increaso the average duration ot llfotban all tho physicians and medicines known. Warner's Safe Cure is a true specific, mild but certain, harmless but energetic and agreeable to tho taste. Take it when sick as a cure, and never let a month go by If you need it, with out taking a few bottlos as a preventive, that the kidneys may bo kept in proper order, the blood pure, that health and long life may be your blessing: H.
