GRAVEL AND STONE. When there is. a sediment like brick-dust in the urine it is a certain indication that the kidneys are not doing their work properly,, and immediate steps should be taken to restore their healthy action. If this precaution is neglected, the particles will gradually become larger, and the miserable suffering caused by Gravel or Stone will result. Stones are usually formed in the kidneys, and descend thence into the bladder. They are composed of uric acid, or of oxalate of lime; solid matter, which should be held in solution in the fluids of the body, and be passed off in a dissolved condition in the urine. Uric acid stone is by far the commonest kind. When a stone is formed in a kidney great pain in the loins is felt, and this becomes agonising when the stone leaves the kidney and passes through one of the narrow channels leading to the bladder. The pain then experienced is known as Kidney Colic. It ceases when the stone reaches the bladder. Once in the bladder, the stone may be passed off with the urine, or it may remain and become larger by the' accumulation of deposits. Sometimes a stone will form in the bladder by the simple gathering together of particles of gravel. Persons of all ages may suffer from stone or gravel. Even little' children are not exempt. When a stone formed in the kidneys is too large to pass through the passage leading into the bladder, the passage becomes closed, dropsy sets in, and the patient may die in a few hours. When stones remain long in the bladder they grow to a great size, sometimes as large as an orange, and they frequently have to be cut out. The following symptoms indicate stone or gravel in the kidneys or bladder:—Painful itching sensation; swelling of the seat of pain; cramps in the legs and scrotum; bearing down sensation in rectal region; escape of water, involuntarily, in drops; great agony succeeding urination, paroxysms of pain from kidneys to bladder—“kidney colic”; pain and difficulty in urinating, with sudden stoppages. TREATMENT— The only rational method of treatment for this disease is to correct the action of the kidneys, thereby removing the cause. In a healthy condition of the kidneys and urinary system the water holds the solids m solution until it escapes from the body. In disease the solids are deposited in the kidneys and bladder. Warner’s Safe Cure. restores to the kidneys their natural action, r elieves congestion, heals the wounded and bleeding mucous membranes of the urinary system, dissolves the stones already formed, and prevents further formation. Warner’s Safe Cure is the only remedy in the world which has this power, and if the case is amenable to any medicinal form of treatment, it will ultimately effect a cure. BLADBER DIMEASE. Inflammation or Catarrh of the Bladder (Cystitis) is usually due to long ing drugs; stricture; enlargement of theretention of urine; the effect of irritat prostate gland; irritation caused by stone or gravel, or by the careless use of a catheter; exposure to cold; decomposition of urine caused by its retention etc. ' ’ There a.re two forms of this complaint—Acute and Chronic—the latter .being peculiar to elderly people. It is commoner in winter than in summer; in cold than in warm climates; in males than in females. It is always dependent upon some obstruction to the flow of urine, or upon a diseased condition of the urinary organs. The Bladder not being entirely emptied, the water retained decomposes. The kidneys are generally seriously involved in the mischief, the catarrh being usually a secondary symptom of disease of the kidneys, and unless these are restored to their natural condition a cure cannot be effected. Warner’s Safe Cure corrects the unnatural condition of the kidneys, prevents the formation of pus and mucus by healing the inflamed membranes, and causes the water to become normal. ’ A treatise containing many letters from people who have been cured of Stone, Gravel and Bladder Disease will be sent post free by H.
