THE KIDNEYS.

THE KIDNEYS ARE TWO IN NUMBER,
Il 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 a deposit for the
urine and convey it to the exterior. The exte-
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 expes. the lower retains. Many have
desire to urinate 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
various functions. If they are neglected, Gra-
vel or DrOpsy may ensue.
The reader must also be made aware, that
however slight may be the attack, il is sure to
affect his bodily health and mental powers; as
our flesh and blood are supported from these
GOVT. OR RHEUMATISM.
Pain occurring in the loins is indicative of the
above diseases. They occur in persons dis
posed to acid stomach and chalky concretions.
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 fsverish
and sediment forms. 1t is from this deposit
that the stone is formed and gravel ensces.

body, and bears different names, according to
the parts affected, viz: when generally diifused
over the body, it is called Anasarca: when of
the abdomen, Ascites; when of the lchest.

| II. I. HFLNBoLD, Druggist.
Dear SIR have been sufferer for upwards
| of twenty years, with gravel, bladder and kid
| ney affections, during which tine i have used
various medicinal preparations, and been IN
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. .
Iidid this because had used all kinds of ad-
vertised remedies, and had found them worth
| less, and some quite injurious: in fact, i de-
| SPARED Of ever getting well, and determined 10
| use no remedies hereafter unless l knew Of the
| ingredients. II was this that prompted me to
use your remedy. As you advertised that il
was composed Of buchu. oHbebs and juniper ber-
ries, it occurred to me and my physician as an
excellent combination. and, with his advice,
after an examination Of the article, and con-
sulting again with the druggist. concluded 10
| try it. commenced its use about eight months
| ago, al which time | was confined to my room.
| From the first bottle was astOnished and graft
ifed at the beneficial effect, and after using il
three weeks was able to walk out. / felt much
| like writ ing you full statement Of my case al
| that time. but thought my improvement nigh
/ only be temporary, and therefore concluded %
/ defer and see If IL would effect a perfect cure.
| knowing then il would be Of greater value 10
you and more satisfactory 10 me.
am now able 10 report that curci 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, a nice tonic and inVieorltor Of
the system. do not mean 70 be without 10
whenever occasion may require its qss p ,qeh
