THE KIDNEYS.

THE KIDNEYS ARE TWO IN NUMBER,
i situated at the upper part of the loin, sur
rounded by fat and consisting of three parts, viz:
The Anterior, the Interior, and the Exterior.
The anterior absorbs Interior consists of It's
sues or veins, which serve deposit for the
urine and convey it to the exterior. The exterior
is conductor also, terminating in a single tube
and called the Ureter The ureters are connected
with the bladder.
The bladder is composed of various coverings
or tissues, divided into parts, viz the Upper, the
Lower, the Nervous, and the Mucous. The upper
cxpels, the lower retains Many have a desire to
urnatc without the ability, Others urinate without
the ability to retain. This frequently occurs in
children.
To cure these affections we must bring into
action the muscles, which are engaged in their
various functions. If they are neglected, Gravel
or Dropsy may ensue.
The reader must also be made aware, that how
slight may be the attack, it is sure to affect
his bodily health and mental powers; our flesh
and blood are supported from these sources.

II. T. HELMBoLD, Druggist,
Dear Sir: have been a sufferer for upwards of
twenty years, with gravel, bladder, and kidney
affections, during which time have used various
medicinal preparations, and been und.r the treat
ment of the most eminent physicians, experience
Having seen your preparations extensively ad-
vertised, consulted with my family physician in
regard to using your Extract Buchu.
l did this because / had used all kinds of ad
vertised remedies, and had found them worthless,
and some quite injurious: in fact, 1 dcspaired of
getting well, and determined to use no rcme-
dies hereafter unless knew of the ingredients
1t was this that prompted me to use your remedy.
AS you advertised that it was composed of buchu,
cubebs, and juniper berries, it occurred TO ME
and my physician an excellent combination,
and, with his advice, after an examination of the
article, and consulting again with the druggist,
concluded to try it. 1 commenced its use about
eight months ago, at which time l was confined
to my room. From the first bottle was aston
ished and gratitied at the beneficial effect and
after using it three weeks was able to walk out
I felt much like writing you full statement of
my at that time, but thought my improve
ment might only be temporary, and therefore con-
cIuded to defer and see if it would effect perfect
cure, knowing then it would be of greater value
to you and more satisfactory to me.
l am now able to report that a cure is effected
after using the remedy for five months.
have not used any now for three months, and
feel as well in all respects as ever did.
Your Buchu being devoid of any unpleasant
taste and odor, nice tonic and invgorator of the
system, do not mean to be without it whenever
occasion may require its use in such atfeSti0ns.
Should any doubt MI McCormick's statement,
he refers to the following gentlemen:
Hon. VIM. Bigler, eN-Governor, Pennsylvania.
Hon. Thos. B. Florence, Philadelphia
Hon. j. G. Knox, Judge, Philadelphia.
Hon. j. S. Black, Judge, Philadelphia.
Hon. D: R. Porter. ex.Governor, Pennsylvania.

Hon. G. w. Woodward, Judge, Philadelphia.
