THE KIDNEYS.


i situated at the upper part of the loin, 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 deposit for the
urine and convey it to the exterior. The extc-
rior is a conductor also, terminating in single
tube and called the Ureter. The ureters are
connected with the bladder. 10 ~
The bladder is composed of various coverings
or tissues. divided into parts, viz: the Upper,
the Lower, the Nervous. and the Mucous. The
upper expels. the lower retains. Many have a
desire to urinate without the ability, Others ur-
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
various functions. II they are neglected, Gra-
vel or Dropsy may ensue. rIf

however slight may be the attack, il is sure TO

TIE GRAVEL.
The gravel ensues from neglect or impropcr
treatment OF the kidneys. These organs being
weak, the water is not expelled from the blad-
der, but allowed to remain; it becomes feverish
and sediment forms. 1t is from this deposit
that the stone is formed and gravel ensues.

Dear Sir / have been sufferer for upwards
of twenty. years, with gravel. bladder and kid
ney. affections. during which time have used
various medicinal preparations, and been I'M
der the treatment Of the most eminent physi-
clans. experiencing but little relief.
Having seen your preparations extensively
advertised. consulted with my family physi-
clan in regard to using your Extract Buchu.
l did this because / had used all kinds of ad-
vertised remedies, and had found them worth
less. and some quite injurious; in fact, l de-
SPARED Of ever getting well, and determined to
use no remedies hereafter unless / knew of the
ingredients. IL was this that prompted me to
use your remedy. As You advertised that it
was composed OF bucAu. cubebs and juniper 6er-
ff mn and
excellent combination. and. with his advice,
after an examination of the article, and con-
sulting again with the druggist concluded to
try it, commenced its use about eight months
ago, nc which time was confined TO my room.
From the first bottle was astonished and graf
flied at the beneficial effect, and after using il
three weeks was able to walk out. / felt much
like writing you n full statement of my case at
that time. but thought my Improvement might
only be temporary. and therefore concluded TO
defer and SEQ y u would effect a perfect cure,
knowing then it would be Of greater value TO
you and more satisfactory to me.

after using the remedyfor five months.
