TREATMENT.

Helmbold's highly concentrated Ex-
tract of Buchu is decidedly one of the
best remedies for diseases of the bladder, kidneys
gravel, dropsical swellings, rheumatism, and gou-
ty affections. Under this head we have arrang-
ed Dysuria, or difficulty and pain in passing wat
er; Scanty secretion, small and frequent dis
charges of water; Stranguary. or stopping of
water; Hamaturia. or bloody urine; Gout and
Rhematism of the kidneys, without any change
in quantity, but increase of color or dark water.
1t was always highly recommended by the late
DR. Phi ysick in these affections.
This medicine increases the power
of digestion, aud exctes the ahsorbents into heal
thy exercise. by which the watery or calcareous
depositions and all unnatural enargements. as
well as pain and inflammation, re reduced, and is
taken by
Men, W omen& Children.

FL. I. HELMBoLD, Druggist:
Dear SIR Il have been a suffer-
er, for upwards of twenty years, with
gravel, bladder, and kidney affections,
during which time have used various med dicinal
preparations, and been under the treatment of
the most eminent physicians, experiencing but
little relief
Having seen your preparations ex-
tensively 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
despaired of ever getting well, and determin-
ed to use no remedies unless L knew of the ingre-
dients. 1t was this that prompted me to use your
remedy As you advertised that it was compos-
ed of BUcHU, cUBEBs, and JUMPER BERRIEs it oc-
CURED to me and my physician as an excellent
combination, and, with his advice. after an exam
NATION OF the article, and consulting again with
the druggist, [ concluded to try it, | commen-
ced Its use about eight months ago, at which time
was confined to my room From the first bot
tie was astonished and gratified at the benefi-
eiai effect and arter using it three weeks was a.
bic to walk out. / felt much like writing Won
full statement of my case at the time but eht
my improvement might only be temporary and
therefore concluded to defer and see if it would
eHect perIect cure knowing then IT would be of
greater value to you und 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 Buchu being devoid of any unpleasant
taste and odor, nice tonic and invigorator of the
system do not mean to be without it whe, ever
occasion may require its use in such affections

The Lnst IIIness Of Gen. Cn.s.

The Detroit Post of the 18th says of the
last illness of Gen. Cass: .SlrfU - H
For SOME year and halt past he has been
suffering more or less from disease of the
kidneys, which took, however, no serious
form until the latter part of December,
1865, continuing then with great severity
during the months of January, February
and March of the present year. Indeed as
early as the beginning OF January it was
feared that he would not live, and his abb
sent children were telegraphed to come
home; but he fingered on through April,
when signs Of improvement became mani
test, and continued until early in June,
when his condition was such as to- permit
OF his walking out in the garden, and to
give his family and friends strong hopes OF
his recovery. .Eag gal.EB
AS late as Wednesday last he sat up and
conversed freely with his children, but on
Thursday symptoms of the old disease re-
appeared and he became much worse, fail
ing rapidly throughout Friday and Satur-
day, and to the hour Of his death on Sun
day morning. -,s HsE r-H 81 3
He had five children, four of whom sur
vive him-Elizabeth Cass, deceased; Lewis
Cass; Mary, now Mrs. Garfield Matilda,
now Mrs. Ledyard; Isabella, now Mrs. Won
Limburg. He left will. : a'f. 1a. ,..f.. B..
it may be well to state, as it has been
made the subject of newspaper gossip, that
there was not, and has not been at any
time during the Generals illness, anything
which partOok of the nature of softening
of the brain. On the contrary, he was
throughout bright and cheerful, and fire.
Quently spent moments in relating to his
medical attendant incidents of his past
eventful life and career.
