THE KIDNEYS,

The Kidneys are two in number, situated at the
upper part Of the loin, surrounded by fat and con-
sistiug iof three paris viz: the Anterior the In
terror, and the Exterior.
The anterior abso1bs. Interior consists OF tissues
or veins, which serve as deposit for the urine and
convey it to the exel ior. The exterior is conduc-
tor 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 desire to
urnate without the ability; others urinate without
the ability ito retain. This frequently 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, Gravel or Dropsy
may ensue.
The reader must also be made aware, that how
slight may be the attack it is cure to affect the
bodily health and mental powers, as our flesh an
blood are supported from these sources.
GOVT, OR RHEUMATIsM.-Pain occurring in the
lons is indicative of the above diseases They occur

crstions.

improper treatment ct the kidneys These organs
being weak the water is not expelled from the blad-
der, but allowed to remain lit becomes feverish, and
sediment forms. 1t is from this deposit that the
stone is formed, and gravel ensues.

the body, and bears different names, according

H. T. HELMBoLD, Druggist:
DEAR SIR L have been sufferer, for upwards of
twenty years, with gravel, bladder, and kidney at
tions, during which time have used various medici-
nal preparations, and been under the treatment OF
the most eminent Physicians, experiencing but
little reliefl
Having seen your preparations extensively adver.
tised, consulted with my family physician in re-
gard to using your Extract Buchu.
did this because had used all kinds of advcr-
tiscd remedies, and had found them worthless, and
sons quite injurious in fact despared of ever get
ting well, and determined to use no remedies here
after unless 1 knew the ingredients. 1t was thi
that prompted me to use your remedy. As you adj
vettsed that it was composed of buchu, cubebs and
uniper berries, it occurred to me and my ply sicans
as an excellent combination, and, with his advice
after an examination Of the article, and consulting
again with the druggist, concluded to try it.
commenced its use about eight months ago, at which
time was confined to my room. From the first
bottle was astenshed and gratifed at the beneficial
effect, and after using it three weeks was able to
walk out. felt much like writing you full state
ment of my ease at that time, but thought my i'm
provement might only be temporary, and therefore
concluded to defer and see If it would effect a per-
feet cure, knowing then it 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 moths, and
feel as well in all respects as ever did.
Your Buchu being devoid of any unpleasant taste
and odor nice tonic and invgorator of the system.
do not mean to be without 1t whenever occasion
may require its use in such affections.
