THE KIDNEYS.

The Kidneys are two in number, situated at the
upper part OF the loin surrounded by fat, and con
sstng of three parts, viz the ANTERIOR the lnterl-
or and the Exterior.
The anterior absorbs Interior consists of tissues
veins, which serve as deposit Tor the urine ana
convey it to the exterior. The exterior Is II 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, ana the Mucous. The upper
expels, the lower retains. Many have desire to
urinae without the ability others urlnate without
the ability to retain This frequently occurs IN
children.
To cure these affections, must bring into ac-
ton the muscles, which are engaged in their yari-
functions. If they are neglected, Gravel or
Dropsy may ensue.
The reader must also be made aware that who
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
GOVT, OR RhEUMATIsM-Pan occurring in the
loins is indicative of the above diseases. They oc-
cur in persons disposed to acid stomach and chalky
concletons.
THE GRAvEL.-The gravel ensues from neglect
or improper treatment of the kidneys. These or
gans being weak, the water is not expelled from the
bladder, but allowed to remain; 1t becomes fever
ish, and sediment forms. II is from this deposit
that the stone is formed and gravel ensues.
DRoPsY is collection of water in some parts OF
the tody, and bears different names, according TO
the parts affected, viz: when generally difused
over the body, it is called Anasarea; when of the
abdomen Asctesi when OF the chest Hydrotho-
raX.
Observation-Disclosures highly concentrated
compound Extract Buchu is decidedly one4f the
best remedies for diseases of the bladder kidneys,
gravel, dropscal swellings, rheumatism and equity
affections. Under this head we have arranged
Dysura, difficulty and pain in passing water,

highly recommended by the late DR.. Physick, in
these affections
This medicine increases the power of digestion
and excites the absorbents into healthy exercise by
which the watery calcareous dispositions, and all
unnatural engagements, as well as pain and in
Illumination, are reduced, and it is taken by men

III. T. HELMBoLD, Druggist-DEAR SIR: l have
been Il 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 adj,
vertised, consulted my family physician 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 quite injurious; in fact, despalred of ever
getting well, and determined to 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, cubebs
and juniper berries, 1t occurred to me and my phys
cian as an excellent combination; and with his adj
vice, after an examination of the article and con-
sulting again with the druggist concluded to try
it. commenced to use It about eight months ago,
ut which time was confined to my room.
From the first bottle was astonished at the ben
efcial effect, and after using it three weeks was
able to walk out felt much like writing to you
full statement of my 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
ieel as 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

Allow me to call your attention to my PREP..R'
ALTON OF COMPOUND EXTRACT BCCHU.
The component parts BUCHt, LONG LEAF,
CUBEBs, JUMPER BERRIES.
MODE OF PREPARATION-Buchu, in vacuo.
Juniper Berries, by distaton, TO form fine gin.
Cubebs extracted by displacement with spirits OBJ
tanned from Juniper Berries; very little sugar is
used, and small proportion of spirit. 1t is more
paatable than any now in use.
Buchu, prepared by Druggists, is of a dark
color 1t is plant that emts its fragrance; the
action of flame destroys this dts active principle
leaving dark and glutinous decocton. Nine is
the color OF ingredients. The Buchu in my prepar-
alton predominates; the smallest quantity of the
other ingredients added, to prevent fermenta-
ton: upon inspection, 1t will be found not to be
Tincture, as 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 feeling of confidence,
am, very respectfully,
