The Kidneys two in number, situated at the
upper part of the loin, surrounded by fat and con-
sisng of three parts, viz the Anterior the lneri-
or and the Exterior.
The anterior absorbs Interior consists of tissues
or veins, which a deposit for the urine and
convey it to the exterior. The exterior is con-
ductor 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 nrnate without
the ability to retain. This frequently occurs in
children.
To cure these affections, we must bring into ac-
ton the muscles, which are engaged in their yari-
GUS functions. If they are neglected, Gravel or
Dropsy may ensue.
The reader must also be made aware, that who
ever slight may be the attack it is sure to affect the
bodily health and mental powers, as our flesh and
blood are supported from these sources.
GoUT, OR RhEUMATIsM-Pain occurring in the
lons is indicative of the above diseases. They oc
cur in persons disposed to acid stomach and chalky
Concretions.
THE GRAvEL.-The gravel ensues from neglect
or improper treatment of the kidneys. These
gans being weak the water is not expelled from the
bladder, but allowed to remain it becomes fever
ish and sediment forms. II is from this deposit
that the stone is formed, and grayef ensues.
DRoPsY is collection of water in some parts Of
the body and bears different names, according to
the parts affected, viz: when generally dffused
over the body it is called Anasarca; when of the
abdomen, Ascites; when of the chest, Hydrotho-
raX.
MISUNDERSTANDING highly concentrated
compound Extract Buchu is decidedly one of the
best remedies for diseases of the bladder, kidneys,
gravel, dropsica swelngs, rheumatism, and gOuty
affections. Under this head we have arranged
Dysuria, difficulty and pain in passing water,
Scanty Secretion, or small and frequent discharges
of water; Strangury or stopping of water; Hema-
turia, or bloody urine; Gout and Rheumatism of
the kidneys, without any change in quantity, but
increase in color, or dark water. 1t was always
highly recommended by the late DR.. Physick, in
these affections.
This medicine increases the power of digestion,
and eXctes the absorbents into healthy exercise by
which the watcry or cacareous dispositions, and all
unnatural enlargements, as well pain and in
fammation, reduced, and it is taken by men,
women, and children. Directions for use and diet
accompany.

NEW YORK, August 18th, 1865

NEW 1ORk, August loln, 1906.
Allow me to call your attention to my PREPAR-
ALTON OF COMPOUND EXTRACT BUCHU.
The component parts are BUCHU, LONG LEAF,
CUBEBS, JUMPER BERRIES
MODE OF PREPARATIoN.-Buchu, in vacuo.
Juniper Berries by distillation, to form fine gin.
Cubebs extracted by displacement with spirits OBJ
tanned from Juniper Berries; very little sugar is
used, and a small proportion of spirit. 1t is more
palatable than any now in use
Buchu, prepared by Druggists, is of dark
color. 1t is plant that emits its fragrance the
action of fame destroys this (its active principle
leaving dark and glutnous decoction. Mime is
the color OF ingredients. The Buchu in my prepar
alton predomnates; the smallest quantity of the
other ingredients are added to prevent fermenta
ton; upon inspection, it will be found not to be n
Tincture, made in Pharmacop9a, nor is it a
Syrup-and therefore can be used in cases where
fever Inflammation exists. In this, you have the
knowledge of the ingredients and the mode of pre-
paration.
Hoping that you will favor it with trial. and
that upon inspection it will meet with your appro-
baton.
With q feeling of confidence,
am, very respectfully,

PHILADELPHIA, Penn, Feb. 25, 1867.

H. T. HELMBoLD, Druggist-DEAR SIR: / have
been a sufferer for upwards of twenty years with
gravel, bladder and kidney affections, during which
time have used various medicinal preparations,
and been under the treatment of the most eminent
physicians, experiencing but little relief.
Having. seen your preparations extensively ad.
vertsed, consulted my family ply yscan in regard
to using your Extract Buchu.
did this because had used all kinds of adver
tised remedies and had found them worthless, and
some qute injurious; in fact, despaired of ever
getting well, and determined to use no remedies
hereafter unless knew of the ingredients. 1t was
this that prompted me to your remedy. AS you
advertised that it was composed of buchu, cubebs
and juniper berries, it occurred to me and my phys
ican an excellent combination: and with his ad-
vice, after examination of the article and con-
sultng again with the druggist, concluded to try
it. commenced to use 1t about eight months ago,
at which time was confined to my room.
From the first bottle was astonished at the ben
efcial effect, and after using 1t three weeks was
able to walk out. felt much like writing to you
full statement of my case at the time but thought
my Improvement might only be temporary, and
therefore concluded to defer and see il it would
effect perfect cure, knowing then it would be OF
greater value to you and more satisfactory to me.
! am now able to report that a cure is effected,
after using the remedy for five months.
have not used any now for three months and
feel rs well in all respects as ever did.
Your Buchu being devoid of any unpleasant taste
do not mean to be without it whenever occasion
may require its use in such affections
