THE KIDNEYS.

fINHE KIDNEYS ARE TWO IN NUMBER,
j. 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 OF. veins, which serve MS q deposit for the
urine and convey tito the exterior. The exte-
rior is a conductor also, terminating in single
tube and called the ureter. The ureters are
connected with the bladder.
The bladder l. 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 0iisue.
The reader must also be made aware. that
however slight may be the attack, Ii is sure to
affect his bodily health and mental powers; as
our flesh and blood are supported from these
GOVT. OR RHEUMATISM.
Pain occurring in the loins is Indicative of the
above disease. 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 biad-
der, but allowed to remain; it becomes feverish
and sediment forms. II Is from this deposit
that the stone is formed and gravel ensues.
DR0PSY

body. and bears different names, according 10
the parts affected, viz: when generally difused
over the body, it is called Anasarca; when OF
the abdomen. Ascites; when of the chest.
