THE KIDNEYS.

THE KIDNEYS ARE TWO IN NUMBER.
l. situated at the upper part of the Ioin, sur
rouns ed by fat and consisting of three parts,
VIZ; The Anterior. and the lnterior.the Exterior.
The anterior absorbs. Interior consists OF
tissues or veins, which serve as deposit for the
urine and convey 1t to the exterior. The exto-
ror is a 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 expels. the lower retains. Many have
desire TO urinate without the ability, Others ur-
nate without the ability 10 retain. This fire.
quently occurs in children.
10 cure these affections we must bring into
action the muscles, which are engaged in iher
various functions. If they are neglected, Ora
vel or Dropsy may ensue.

THE GRAVEL.
The gravel ensues from neglect or improper
treatment of the kidneys. These organs being
weak, the water is not expelled from the blad-
der, but allowed to remain; it becomes feverish

II. t. HKLNB0LD. Druggist.
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.
did this because had used all kinds of ad-
| yertised remedies, and had found them worth
| less. and some quite injurious: in fact, | de-
| SPARED of ever getting WE'LL and determined to
| use no remedies 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, cubeJs and Juniper 6er-
| ries. it occurred TO me and my physician as an
excellent combination. and, with his advice,
| after an examination of the article, and con-
/ suting again with the druggist, concluded to
| try it. / commenced its use about eight months
ago. at which time was confined to my room.
From the first bottle L 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 full statement of my case ut
that time. but thought my improvement might
| only be temporary, and therefore concluded 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.
| am now able to report that cureis effected
| after using the remedy for five months
have not used any now for three months.
and feel as well in all respects as l ever did.
Your Buchu being devoid of any unpleasant
taste and odor, nice tonic and invigorator of
the system, do not mean to be without it
whenever occasion may require its use in such
| affections. NJ. MCCORMICK.
