Hembold'S Genuine Preparations.
Henabold's Highly Concentrated
Compound Fluid Extract Buchu

For diseases of the Bladder and Kidneys, Sc
diseases Of the Sexual Organs, whether in
Male or Female, from whatever cause they
may have originated, and no matter of how
long standing.
I + you have contracted the terrible disease
i which, when once seated in the system, will
surely go down from one generatian to another,
undermining the constitution and sapping the
very vital fluids of life, do not trust yourself
in the hands of Quacks, who start up every day
in Il city like this, and fill the papers with glar-
ing falsehoods, too well calculated to deceive the
young, those not &C iuainte with their tricks.
You cannot be too careful in the selection of a
remedy in these cases.
The Fluid Extract Buchu has been pronounc-
ed by eminent physicians tie greatest remedy
ever known. II is a medicine perfectly pleas
ant in its taste, and very innocent in its action,
particle OF the rank and poisonous virus of this
dreadful disease; and, unlike other remedies
does not dry up the disease in the blood.
Constitutional Debility, brought on by self
abuse, most terrible disease, which has brought
thousands of the human race to untimely graves,
thus blasting the brilliant hopes of parents,
and blighting in the bud the glorious ambition
of many noble youth, be cured by this
Infallible Remedy. And medicine which
must benefit everybody, from the simply deli
cate to the confined and despailing invalid, no
equal is to be found acting both as a cure and
preventive.

Eruptions of the Skin.
FTNI1IS article is now prescribed by some of the
l most distinguished physicians in the coun-
try, and has proved more efficient in practice
than any preparation of Sarsaparilla yet offer
ed to the public. Several cases of secondary
Syphilis, Mercurial and Scrofulous diseases
have entirely recovered in the incurable wards
of our Public Institutions which had for many
years resisted every mode of treatment that
could be devised. These cases furnish striking
examples ofthe salutary effects of this medi-
cine in arresting some of the most inveterate
diseases, after the glands were destroyed, and
the bones already affected.

Interior Of Sebastopol.

The London News says: We are not
disposed to build on the unauthenticated
rumors which have been flying about Sc
bastopol, of dispatches captured at Kertch
which contain most lamentable accounts
of the rayages of disease among the gar
rison of Sebastopol. But there are two
passages in the communication of our
special correspondent that are pregnant
with meaning. On the 25th ult., e
writes-"The Russians have been bury-
ing an unusual number of deal on the
North side the last few days. These
burial places on that side of the harbor
are exposed to our view, and with good
glass not only the recent graves can be
distinguished, but also the parties at work
excavating or performing the last rites Of
sepulture."
On the 28th he again remarks" The
busy about the graveyards on the north
side of the harbor. At the highest of
the gravefelds-for the term graveyards
is hardly appropriate, as they are not en-
closed-as many as seven carts were OBJ
served to be standing at one time to-day.
Several parties also have been noticed
making fresh graves" These interments
are not of the soldiers who have fallen in
battle, for they are uniformly buried where
they fall. Our correspondent, therefore,
naturally concludes that the numerous
dead carried out to the graveyards' on
the north of Sebastopol have been, to a
great extent, the victims of disease. 1t
is beyond dispute, then, that the garrison
are being assailed by sickness and famine
from within, at the same time that they
are pressed by their human enemies from
without; and this pressure from without
must be sensibly felt.
