TREATMENT.

! Extract Bnohu is decidedly one of the best
| remedies for diseases OF the bladder, kidneys,
| gravel. dropsical swellings, rheumatism, and
| equity affections. Under this head we have ar
ranged Dysuria, or difficulty and pain in pass

| qlent discharges Of water, Strangury or stop
| ping of water. Hermaturia or bloody urine,
Geut and Rheumatism Of the kidneys. without
any change in quality, but increase of color or
| dark water. IL was always highly recommended
| By the late DR.. Physick, in these affections.
| This medicine increases the power OF diges-
tion and excites the absorbents into healthy ex-
| ercise, by which tho watery or caleareous de-
positions and al unnatural enlargemeats, as
well as pain and Inflammation. are reduced. and
