upper part of the loin, surrounded by fat, and
sstiug .of three lparts viz: the Anterior, the In

veins, which serve as deposit for the urine and
convey it to the extel or. 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
expels, the lower retains. Many have desire to
urinae 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 OF Dropsy
may ensue
The reader must also be made aware, that how
slight may be the attack it ia sure to affect the
bodily health and mental powers, as our flesh and
blood are supported from these sources.
GOVT, RlRHEUMATIsM.-Pain occurring in the
lons is indicative of the above diseases They occur
persons disposed to acid stomach and chalky con-
cretions.
The GRAvEL.-The gravel cnsues from neglect or
improper treatment CT the kidneys. These organs
being weak, the water is not expelled from the bad-
der, but allowed to remain; it become 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, according to
the parts affected, viz: when generally difused over
the body, it is called Anasarca when ct the Abdo-
men, Ascites; when of the chest, Hydrothorax.

best remedies for diseases Of the bladder, Kidneys

tons, during which time have used various medci-
nal preparations, and been under the treatment OF
the most eminent Physicians, experiencing but
little relief1
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 adver-
tiscd remedies, and had found them worthless, and
sons quite injurious; in fact. despared of get
ting well, and determined to use no remedies here
after unless 1 knew the ingredients. 1t was this
that prompted me to use your remedy. As you al
verised that it composed of buchu, eubebs, and
uniper berries it occurred to me and my phy sicans
as an excellent combination, and, with his advice,
after an examination OF the article, and consulting
again with the druggist, 1 concluded to try it. 1
commenced its use about eight months ago. at which
time was confined to my room. From the first
bottle astonished and gratiied 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 case at that time, but thought my ina
provement might only be temporary, and therefore
concluded to deter and see If it would effect a per-
iect cure, knowing then 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 months, and
feel as well In all respects as ever did.
Your Buchii being devoid of any unpleasant taste
and odor, nice tonic and nvigorator OF the system
do not mean to be without 1t whenever occasion
