THE HUMAN bPLEEN.
A Curious llodlly Organ That Is au 12ntg
lntt Kven to Vhysictuiis.
The htininn spleen Is n physiological
mystery ono of the enigmas of the hu
man makeup. It is n ponn.y, pulpy or
gnn, weighing nbont two pounila ou nn
average, varying in shape in different in
dividuals, tho color imie-ii resombliug that
noted in tho kidneys nnd liver. Two or
three hundred yours ngo tho M. D.'s were
almost unanimous iu tho opinion that it
Bccretod a "venom," nnd that the fre
quent and persistent use of cathartics was
very necessary in order to eliminate tha
"spleenic poisons" from the: system.
Shakespeare nnd other wrltors of the rath
er indefinite period mentioned nbovo fre
quently allude to tho "venom of the
spleen," anil one eminent fellow of the
Royal society advocated tho curious Idea
of removing tho organ nnd extracting its
poisons in alcohol to lie used in neutraliz
ing tbe virus of blood poisoning.
Practically speaking, tho spleen is nn
unknown orgnu even to tho enlightened
physicians of today. One of them will tell
you that perhnps it has its uses; that it
may servo the purpose of withdrawing
surplus blood from tho circulation when
tho heart is unduly or unnaturally excit
ed, and thnt in nil probability it acts as a
kind of safety valve to hold the action of
other organs in check, nnd then If you
press him still further he will tell you
providing ho keeps his temper that he
doesn't know nuything about itl That
bus been my experience at least.
But I hnven't;.told you anything Jyot
about the spleen in particular, and from
the admission already mado ns to tho "un
knowableness" of the organ it is not at all
likely that this "note" will prove n store
house of splenic information. Ono writer
on oddities in physiology believes its func
tions to uo tho formation of red blood cor
puscles from white ones, but ns it is a
grunulnrorgnu with no outlot for secretion
it Is safe to sny that It was not put In its
present position for tho purpose mentioned.
I believe that the idea arose from the fact
that more red blood corpuscles aro found
In thu spleen than in the organs adjoin
ing It.
Although the normnl weight of tho or
gan under discussion is two pounds, there
are cases on record of its being found in a
diseased condition, weighing upwurd of
20 pounds.
Removal of the spleen does not seem to
interfere i'itu tho general health nnd spir
its, which seems to Rrgue in favor of tho
idea of its being H "uselets l.odily organ."
Zacarelli was tho first to mako an opera
tion of the kind in 1540. Gllson collected
statistics of IS removals, the patient fully

"How did you get your waist so small,
Mabel? It used to bo uearly ns large as
mine."
"Ah, that's a secret," was tbo answer,
with a smile.
"Do tell me. Can't yon see what a
sight I amf I'vo tried nil kinds of flesh
reducing medicines, but none of them
seems to do uny good,"
"Well, 1 will tell you. It's n trick I
learned from Harry while he was nt West
Point. You know how smnll wnisted ha

Tho other nodded. I
"I niCed him once how ho did it, and he
told mi' that he stood sqnnraly on his feet,
so. But come up stairs, and I'll show
you."
