standing.
If you have contracted the terrible disease, which when
once seated in the system, will surely go down from one
generation 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 a city
like this, and fill the papers with glaring falsehoods too
well calculated to deceive the young and those not ac,
quainted with their tricks. You cannot be too careful i'll

The fluid extract Buchu has been pronounced by emf,
nent Physicians
THE GREATEST REMEDY EVER KNOWN.
1t is a medicine perfectly pleasant, in its taste, and very
innocent in its action, and yet so thorough that it annihi.
lates every particle of the rank and poisonous virus of this
disease and, unlike other remedies, it does not dry up
the disease in the blood.
Constitutional Debility, brought on by selfabuse, a most
terrible disease, which has brought thousands of the hu
man race to untiInely graves, thus blasting the brilliant
hopes of parents, and blighting in the bud the glorious
ambition of many a noble youth, can be cured by this
INFALLIBLE REMEDY.
And as a medicine which must benefit everybody from the
simply delicate to the confined and despairing invalid, no
equal is to be found acting both as a cure and preventive
