THE KIDNEYS.

HNHE KIDNEYS ARE TWO IN NUMBER,
i situated at the upper part of the Ioin. 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 deposit for the
urine and convey ii TO tho exterior. The exte-
rior 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 Lever, 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 t. 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, it is sure to
affect his bodily health and mental powers; as
our flesh and blood are supported from these

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 tho blad-
der, but allowed to remain; it becomes feverish
and sediment forms. 1t Is from this deposit
that the stone is formed and gravel ensUes.
DR0PSY
is n collection of water in some parts of the
body, and bears different names, according to
the parts affected, viz: when generally difiused
over the body, it is called Anasarca when of
the abdomen. Ascites; when of thel chest,
TREATMENT.
Helmbold's highly concentrated compound
Extract Buchu is decidedly one of tho best
remedies for diseases Of the bladder. kidneys,
gravel, dropsical swellings, rheumatism, and
equity affections. Under this head we have ar
ranged Dysuria. or di fficulty and pain in pass
ing water, scanty Secretion or small and fire.
quent discharges of water, Strangury or stop
ping of water Hermaturia or bloody urine,
Geut and Rheumatism of the kidneys, without
any change in quality, but increase of color or
dark water. 1t was always highly recommended
by the late DIR. Physick, in these affections.
This medicine increases the power of diges-
ton and excites the absorbents into healthy ex-
ercsc, by which the watery or calcareous de-
positions and all unnatural engagements. as
well as pain and inflammation. are reduced, and

III. T. HELMBOLD. Druggist.
Dear Sir have been asullerer for upwards
of twenty 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 Buchu.
Iidid this because / had used all kinds of ad
yertised remedies, and had found them worth
less and some quite injurious: in fact, | de-
use no remedies hereafter unless / knew of the
ingredients. 1t was this that prompted me to
use your remedy. As you advertised that it
was composed Of buchu, cifbobs and juniper ber-
RIGS il 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 70
try IL. / commenced its use about eight months
ago. az which time / was confined to my room.
From the first bottle was astonished and graft
fled at the beneficial effect, and after using i
three weeks was able TO walk out. l felt much
ike writing you full statement OF ny case at
that time, but thought ny Improvement might
only be temporary. and therefore concluded TO
knowing then 1t would be OF greater value 10
vou and more satisfactory 20 me.
I am now able 10 report that a cure IS effected
Alter using the remedy for i've months.

taste and odor. a nice tonic and invirOrator OF
the system. do not mean % BE without i
