'PI i.i 11- - * - tut? ujuuuer wan created lor ne purpose, namely, a receptacle or the urine, and as such it is lot liable to any form of disease xcopt by one of two ways. The irst way is from imperfect action f the kidneys. The second way s from careless local treatment if other diseases. CHIEF CAINE. I'nhealthy urine from un lealthy kidneys is the chief cause if bladder troubles. So the irotnb, like the bladder, was creited for one purpose, and if not loctored too much iH not liable i? w?-;*kiietip <>r disease, except in i are cases. It is situated back of | ,nd very close to the bladder, bercforo any pain or incdnven ence manifested in the kidneys, lack, bladder or urinary passage s often, bv mistake, attributed to ernale weakness or womb trou-< de of some sort.
