THE KIDN EYS.

The Kidneys are two in number, sitnated at the
upper part of the Ioin surrounded by fst. and
consisting of three parts, viz: the Anterior, the
Interior and the Exterior.
The anterior absorbs Interior consists OF tbs
sues veins, which serve as a deposit for the
urine and convey it to the exterior. The e1te
rier is { conductor also, terminating in single
tube, and called the ureter. The ureters are con-
neeted with the bladdet
The bladder i, composed of various coverings
or tissues, divided into parts, viz the Upper, Ii
Lower, ths SsrSous. and the Mucous. The upper
eIpels. the lower retains. Many have a desire to
urinate without the ability, others urinate with
ont the abilty to retain. This frequently occurs
! IN children.
To cure these affections, we must bring into ae-
| iioa the muscles, which engaged in their va
Fisu. functions If they ere neglected Gravel or
Drcpsy may ersue
The reader must also be made aware, that how
ever slight may be the attack, it is sure to afec-
the bodily health and mental powers, as our flesh
and blood are supported from these sources.
GouT, OR RHEUKATIsM.-Psin occurring in the

occur in persons disposed to acid stomach and

or improper treatment of the kidneys These or

the bladder, but allowed to remain; it becomes
feverish, and sediment forms 1t is from this de-
posit that the is formed, and gravel ensues.
