THE KIDNEYS.

rNHE 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 as n deposit for the
urine and convey Il 10 the exterior. The exte-
rior is conductor also, terminating in a single
tube and called the Ureter. Tho ureters arc
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 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

however slight may be the attack, il Is sure to

III. T. HKLMBoLD, Druggist
Dear Sir: have been sufferer for upwards
Of tweazg 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, l consulted with my family physi-
clan in regard to using your Extract Bnchu.
Ibid 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 well, 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 IL
was composed of bHehu, eubebs and juniper ber-
ries. il occurred TO me and my physician as an
nvaallpnt aOmbfnatinn and. with his advta
after an examination of the article, and con-
sulting again with the druggist, / concluded 10
try it. l commenced its use about eight months
ago, at which time ] was confined to my room.
From the first bottle was astonished and graf
flied at the beneficial effect, and after using it
three weeks was able to walk out. 4 felt much
like writ ing You full statement of my case at
that time, but thought my Improvement nigh
only be temporary. and therefore concluded to
defer and see If 1t would effect n perfect cure
knowing then II would be OF greater value to
you and more satisfactory to me.
/ am now able TO report that cure 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 0dor, nice tonic and invigorator
the system, do not mean to be without il
