who start up every day in a city like this and fill
the papers with glaring fasehoods, too well cacu-
lated to deceive the young and those not acquant-

the selection of a remedy in these cases
The Fluid Extract Buchu has been pronounced
by eminent physicians the greatest remedy ever
known 1t is medicine perfectly pleasant in its
taste, and very innocent in its action, and yet so
thorough that it annihates every particle Of rank
and poisonous virus of this dreadful disease; and
unlike other remedies does not dry up the disease
in the blood.
Constitutional Debility, brought Oh by self
abuse, most terrible disease, which has brought
thousands of the human race to untinle!y graves,
thus blasting the brilliant hopes of parents, and
blightingin the bud the glorious ambition of many
a noble youth: can be cured by this InIaiIible
Remedy. And as medicine which must benefit
everybody, from the simply delicate to the confined
desparing invalid, no equal is to be found acting
