THE KIDNEYS.

rDHE KIDNEYS ARE TWO IN NUMBER.
l. 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 n deposit for the
urine and convey it to the exterior. The exte-
rior is a conductor also, terminating in n single
tube and called the Ureter. The urcters 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 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 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; US
our flesh and blood are supported from these
sources. "
