THE KIDNEYS.

VNHE Kidneys are two in number, situated at
1 the upper part of the loin, surrounded by
fat, and consisting of three parts, viz the An
terror, the Interior and the Exterior.
The Anterior absorbs. Interior consists of
tissues or veins, which serve as deposit for
the urine and convey 1t to the Exterior. Tho
Exterior is conductor also, terminating in
single tube, and called the Ureter. The Ureters
are connected with the bladder.
The bladder is composed of various cover
ings or tissues, divided into parts, viz; the
Upper, the Lower, the Nervous, and the Mucous.
The upper eXpels, the lower retains. Many
have a desire to urinate without the ability;
others urinate without the ability to 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 he made aware, that
however slight may be the attack, it is sure to
affect the bodily health and mental powers, as
onr flesh and blood are supported from these
sources.
GoUT, OR RHEUMATIsM-Pain occurring in
the loins are indicative of the above diseases.
They occur in persons disposed to acid stomach
and chalkv concretions.
THE GRAvEL.-The gravel ensues from neg
lect or improper treatment of the Kidneys
PEELED from the bladder, but allowed to remain;
it becomes feverish, and sediment forms. 1t is
from this deposit that the stone is formed and
gravel ensues.
DRoPsY is collection of water in some parts
of the body, and bears different names, accord
Ing to the parts affected, viz. when general
ly diffused over the body, it is called Anasarcaj
when of the abdomen, Ascites when of the
chest, HydrothoraX.
T.-Helmbold's highly concentra-
ed compound Extract Buchu is decidedly one
of the best remedies for diseases OF the blad-
der, kidneys, bladder, dropsical swellings,
rheumatism and equity affections. Under this
head we have arranged Dysuria, or difficulty
and pain in passing water, Scanty Secretion, or
small and frequent discharges of water Stran-
gury, or stopping of water; Hematuria, or
bloody urine; Gout and Rheumatism of the
kidneys, without any change in quantity, but
increase in color, or dark water. 1t was al
ways highly recommend by the late DR.. Phys
ick, in these affections.
This medicine increases the power of diges-
tion, end eXcites the absorbents into healthy
exercise by which the watery or calcareOus de-
positions, and all unnatural enlargements, as
well as pain and inflammation, are reduced, and
it is taken by men, women, and children. Dl
rections for use and dict accompany.

II. T. HELMBoLD, Druggist: .
DEAR SIR have been a sufferer, for upward
of twenty years, with gravel, bladder, and kid
ney affections, during which time l have used
various medicinal preparations, and been under
the treatment of the most eminent Physicians,
experiencing but. little relief
Having seen your preparations extensively
advertised, l consulted with my family physi-
clan in regard to using your Extract Buchu.
I 10 hno I bad cd OH dc pf oh-
vertsed remedies, and had found them worth
less, and, some quite injurious in fact, de-
SPARED 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, it occurred to me and my physician as
an excellent combination, and, with his advice,
after an examination of the article, and con-
suting again with the druggist, l concluded to
try it. / commenced its use about eight months
ago, at which time was confined to my room.
From the first bottle was astonished and graf
flied ut the beneficial effect, and after using it
three weeks, was able to walk out. felt much
like writing you full statement of my case at
the time, but thought my improvement might
only be temporary, and therefore concluded to
defer and see if it would effect perfect cure,
knowing then it would be of more value toyou,
and more satisfactory to me.
! am now able to report that a cure is effect
cd after using the remedy for five months.
l have not used any now for three months,
and feel as well in all respects as / ever did.
Your Buchu being devoid of any unpleasant
taste and odor, nice tonic and invigorator of
the system, | do not mean to be without it
whenever occasion may require its use in such
affections.
