Ra reread : a as THE KIDNEYS. ‘The KIDNEYS are two tm number, situated at the ‘Upper part of the loin, surrounde! by fat. and con- sisting of three parts, viz: The Anterior, the Inte rior, and the Exterior. ‘The anterior absorbs. Interior consists of tissnes or vein, which serve as a deposit for the urine end convey it to the exterior, The exterior is @ com ‘Cuctor also, terminating tn nate tube, and called the Ureter. The ureters are connected with the bladder. ‘The biadder ts composed of varions coverings or Hasces, divided into parts, viz —The Upper, the | Lower, the Nervous, and the Mucous. The ugper | expels, the lower retains. Many have a desire to urinate without the ability; others urinate without the ability to retain. This frequently oceurs ip children, To cure theee affections, we must bring inte action the muscles, which are engaged in their va- rious functions, If they are neglected, Gravel or Dropsy may ensue. ‘The reader must also be made aware, that how- ever slight may be the attack, it is sure to affect the bodily health and mental powers, as oar flesh and blood are supported from thess sources. GOUT, OB BHEUMATISM.—Pain oscorring in | the loins is indicative of the above diseases, They occur im persons disposed to acid stomach and chalky concretions. THE GRAVEL —The gravel ensues from negiest or improper treatment of the Kidneys, These organs being weak, the water is not expelled from the Bladder, but allowed to remain it becomes teverish,and sedim»nt forms. It is from this de posit that the stone is formed, and gravel casnes.

BEATMEST.—H elmbold’s highly concentrated Compound Extract Bache is decidedly one of the dest remedies for diseases of the bladder, kidneys, gravel, Gropsical swellings, rheumatiam, and gouty affections. Under this heed we have arranged Dye ‘aris, or difficulty and pain in passing water; Boanty Secretion, or amall and frequent discharges of water; Strangury, or stopping of water; Hemataris, or bloody urine; Gout and Bheumatiom of the kidneys, without any change in quantity, bat increase fn color, or dark water. It was slways highly cecom- mended by the late Dr. Physick, in these affections. This medicine increases the power of digestion, and excites the absorbents ints healthy exercise by which the watery or calcerous depositions, and all ‘unnstural enlargements, as well as pain and inflam mation, are reduced, and it is taken by men, women, and children.

Having seen your preparations extensively adver- tived, I consulted with my family physician inre gard to Using your Extract Buchu. I did this because 1 bed used all kinds of adver. tised remedies,and had found them worthless, and some quite injurious; in fect, despaired of ever _ getting well, and determined to use no remedies bereafter unless I knew of the ingredients. It was this that prompted me to use your remedy. As you advertised that it waa composed of bucha,cubebs,and | junfper berries, It occurred to meand my physician as an excellent combination, and, with his advice, after an examina‘‘on of the article, and consulting again with the druggist, { concluded to try it. 1 commenced its use about eight months ago, at | which time 1 was confined to my room. From the first bottle I was astonished and gratified at the beneficial effect, and after using it three weeks, was able to walk out. I felt much like writing you « full statement of my case at that time, but thought my improvement might only be temporary, and therefore concluded <o defer and see if it would effect a perfect cure, knowing then it would be of greater value to you, and more satisfactory to me, 1 am now able to report that a cure is effected after using the remedy for five months, Tbave not used any now for three months, and fee) as well in all respects as I ever did. Your Bachu being devoid of any anpleasant taste and odor, a nice tonic and invigorator of the system, Ido not mean tobe without it whenever occasion may require its use in such affections. M.
