Furthermore,
the
part
played
by
the
lungs
in
the
maintenance
of
life
and
health
cannot
be
underestimated.
Impaired
functioning
of
the
lungs
has
an
immediate
and
vital
effect
upon
every
other
part
of
the
body.
It
is
through
this
channel
that
we
secure
the
oxygen,
without
which
the
processes
of
life
would
terminate
almost
instantaneously.
It
is
through
this
channel
also
that
the
elimination
of
carbonic
acid
gas
is
accomplished.
Without
the
continuous
and
thorough
elimination
of
carbonic
acid
our
tissues
would
become
choked
up
and
poisoned
in
such
a
way
that
all
cell
activity
and
bodily
function
would
come
to
an
abrupt
end.
If
the
lungs
are
sound
and
healthy
in
every
respect
the
supply
of
oxygen
is
abundant,
and
the
elimination
of
carbonic
acid,
which
may
be
regarded
as
the
"smoke"
of
the
human
system,
is
carried
on
perfectly.
Breathing
is
only
one
of
the
various
functions
that
must
be
continuously
carried
on,
but
it
is
of
such
importance
as
to
require
special
attention
in
building
vitality.
In
the
work
of
eliminating
impurities
and
keeping
the
system
clean
the
kidneys
are
to
be
classed
with
the
lungs,
although
they
have
to
do
with
poisonous
wastes
of
a
different
type.
Insufficient
functioning
of
the
kidneys
is
not
so
immediately
fatal
as
the
failure
of
the
lungs
to
do
their
work,
but
proper
action
of
the
kidneys
is
none
the
less
important.
If
the
poisons
which
are
normally
eradicated
from
the
system
in
this
way
are
allowed
to
remain
or
to
accumulate,
they
poison
the
body
as
truly
as
any
external
toxic
element
that
could
be
introduced.
Insufficient
activity
of
the
kidneys
leads
to
the
accumulation
of
those
poisons,
bringing
on
convulsions
of
the
most
serious
nature,
and
unless
the
condition
is
relieved
there
will
be
fatal
results.
The
requirements
of
health,
therefore,
demand
that
the
kidneys
should
be
strong
and
active,
and
that
their
functional
capacity
should
be
maintained
at
the
highest
degree
of
efficiency.
