THE KIDNEYS.

VNHE KIDNEYS ARE TWO IN NUMBER,
i situated at the upper part Of the lon, sur
rounded by fat and consisting of three parts,
viz: The Anterior. and the Interior, the Exterior
The anterior absorbs. Interior consists of
tissues or veins which serve as a deposit for the
urine and convey it to the exterior. The exte-
rior is conductor also, terminating in single
tube and called the Ureter. The ureters are
connected with the bladder. q tfRf
The bladder Is composed of various coverings
or tissues. divided into parts. viz: the Upper,
the Lower, the Nervous, and the Mucous. The
upper expeis. the lower retains. Many have a
desire TO nrinste without the ability. others uri-
nate without the ability to retain. This fire.
quently occurs in children.
To cure these affections we must bring into
action the muscles. which are engaged in their
ysr'ers functions. If they are neglected, Ora
vel or Dropsy may ensue.
The reader must also be made aware, that
however slight may be the attack, it is surelto
affect his bodily health and mental powers; as
our flesh and blood are supported from these
sources.
