THE KIDNEYS.

VNHE KIDNEYS ARE TWO IN NUMBER,
l. situated at the upper part of the loin. sur
rounded by fat and consisting OF three parts,
viz: Tho 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 q conductor also, terminating in 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 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, Gri-
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 arc supported from these

Pain occurring in heloins is indicative of the
above diseases. They occur in persons dis
posed to acid stomach and chalky cohcretions.
THE GRAVEL.
The gravel ensues from neglect or improper
treatment of the kidneys. These organs being
weak, the water is not expelled from the bad-
der, but allowed to remain 1t becomes fevcrish
and sediment forms. II is from this deposit
that the stone is formed and gravel ensEes.

is collection of water in some parts of the
body, and bears different names. according to
the parts affected, viz: when generally diflused
over the body, it Is called Anasarca; when OF
the abdomen, Ascites; when of thei chest,
