THE KIDNEYS,
The Kidneys are two in number, situated at the
upper part of the oin, surrounded by at, and con-
sistiug OF three parts, viz: the Anterior, the In
terror and the Exterior.
The anterior absolbs. Interior consists OF tissues
or VEINS which serve as deposit for the urine and
convey it to the extel ior. The exterioris 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
Lower, the Nervous, and the Mucous. The upper
expels, the lower retains. Many have desire to
urinae without the ability; others urinae without
the ability to RETAIN. .1h,s 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.

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.

lons is indicative of the above diseases They occur
n persons disposed TO acid stomach and chaky cor
cretions.
The GRAvEL.-The gravel cnsues from neglect or
improper treatment Of the kidneys. These organs
being weak, the water is not expelled from the blad-
der, but allowed to remain; becomes everish, and
sediment forms. 1t is from this deposit that The
stone is formed and gravel ensues

the body, and bears different names, according to
the parts affected, viz: when generally difused over
the body, it is called Anasarca; when Ct the Aldo
men, Ascites; when of the chest, Hydrothorax.

that prompted me to use your remedy. As you adj
vertsed that it was composed of buchu, cubebs and
