THE KIDNEYS.

THE KIDNEYS ARE TWO IN NUMBER.
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 rs 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. a.
Tho bladder Is composed ofvarious 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 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, Ora
vel or Dropsy may ensuc.
The reader must also be made aware that
however slight may be tho attack, it is sure to
affect his bodily health and mental Dowers as
our flesh and blood are supported from these
sources.
GOVT. OR RHEUMATISM.l
Pain occurring in the Ioins 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; il becomes feverish
and sediment forms 1t is from this deposit
that the stone is formed and gravel ensues.
