Nature of Our Kink Helper

Youth's Companion. Nature is always on she side of the right and the good, whether in morals or in physics. Moral health and physical health are, in the higher and the lower sphere respectively, perfect well-being; and where there is an absence of moral or physical health, nature provides for its restoration. A bad man, not utterly bad, may become good. A diseased man, not too far gone, may become sound again. The simplest form of physical recuperation is the healing of the wound. Bring the parts together, and keep them so, and soon tne dissevered muscles and nerves and blood vessels come again each to his fellow, and all the life processes go on as before. If it is impossible to unite the parts, nature, taking more time for it, fills up the gap with new flesh, and leaves nothing but a scar. Even parts of internal organs, brain, stomach, liver, intestines)etc., may be cut away, and perfect healing take place. In the case of wounds or ulcers too large to be otherwise healed, bits of slon may be transferred to them from other parts of the body, or from the body of some other person, or even from some young animal, and each bit will become the center of a new growth, and with little or no disfigurement. And this power of recuperation is

not confined to the flesh. Not only | do broken bones readily gr6w together, but even if large portions are removed, new bone may fill up the space between the severed parts, and thoroughly reunite them. Furthermore, nature often shows ler kind helpfulness by bringing lealthy organs to the relief of dis» eased ones. If one kidney loses its functional lower the other will enlarge, and do the work of both. If both are more or less affected the vessels of the skin may come to their aid, and pour out on the surface what would otherwise cause fatal blood-poisoning. On the other hand, when the pores are stopped by a chill, the kidneys come to the rescue, and do a large part of the skin’s work. This explains why it is so dangerous for the sufferer from diseased kidneys to take cold. Our eliminating organs aro incessantly at-work carrying away from the system waste matter, which would otherwise fatally poison it. What renders some diseases of the kidneys so fatal is the fact of their lost ability to eliminate this effete matter, which thus accumulates to poison and paralyze some of the great nerve centers in the brain. No city in the world has a sewerage system so elaborate and complete as that of the human body.
