IL. T. HELMBoLD. DRUGGIST:

IL. I. HELMBOLD, Druggist:
Dear SIR Il have been a suffer-
er, for upwards of twenty years, with
gravel, bladder, and kidney affections.
during which sine have used various medicinal
preparations. and been under the treatment of
the most eminent physicians, experiencing but
little relief.
Having seen your preparations ex-
tensvely advertised, consulted with my family
physician in regard to using your Extract Buchu.
| did this because | used all kinds
of advertised remedies, and had found
them worthless. and some quite injurious: in fact
L despaired of ever getting we'll and determin-
ed TO use no remedies unless knew of the inyre-
dients. 1t was this that prompted me to use your
remedy As you advertised that it compos-
ed OF BUcHu, CuBEBs and JUMPER BERRIES. it
Cured to me and nv physician as an excellent
combination. and with his advice after an exam
ination of the article and consulting again with
the druggist | concluded TO try it, commen-
ced its use about eight m onths ago at which time
| was confined to my room. From the first bot.
tie [ was astonished and gratifed at the benef-
cial effect, and arter using it three weeks was a.
hle to walk out I felt much like writing Won a
full statement of my case at the time but tn ou ght
my improvement might only be Temporary and
therefore concluded to defer and. see if it would
effect perfect cure. knowing then it would be of
greater value to you end more satisfactory to me
| am now able to report that a cure
is effected after using the remedy for
FIVE months.
| have not used any now for three
months, and feel as well in all respects
as [ ever did,
Your Buehu being devoid of any unpleasant
taste and odor, nice tonic and nvigorator of the
system. do not mean to be without it whe, ever
occasion may require its use in such affec tions

QUARANTINE REGULATIONS IN THE ORIENT.

We have already announced the open

tives have made the following proposals
in regard to the stoppage of all sea COM
munication between Arabia and Egypt
in the event of another epidemic:
1. That the Ottoman Sanitary Com
mission, now in the Hijaz, should report
on the health of the pilgrims.
2 The presence of several vessels Of
war to interrupt maritime communica-
ton.
8. An organized surveillance over the
Egyptian coast to prevent any disem-
barkation in infringement Of the prohi-
bition. h
The manner Of carrying this plan into
execution was set forth rs follows:
1. In the event Of cholera breaking
out among the pilgrims, the members
of the Ottoman Commission, assisted If
need be by other medical men appointed
ad hoe, shall report the fact to the local
authorities and to the vessels Of war
stationed 1t Jiddah and Yeddo, and
