PHILApELPHIA, Pa, Feb. 25,


II. T. HKLMBoLD, Druggist.
Dear Sir: have been sufferer for upwards
of twenty years, with gravel, bladder and kid
ney affections, during which time l have used
der the treatment Of the most eminent physi-
clans. experiencing but little relief.
Having seen your preparations extensively
advertised. l consulted with my family physi-
clan in regard to using your Extract Buchu.
Iidid this because / had used all kinds of adj
vertised remedies, and had found them worth
less, and some quite injurious; in fact, de-
SPARED OF ever getting well, and determined to
use no remedies hereafter unless knew of tho
ingredients. 1t was this that prompted me to
use your remedy. As you advertised that i
was composed Of buchu, cu6e6s and juniper ber-
ries. il occurred to me and my physician as an
excellent combination. and, with his advice,
after an examination of the article. and con-
sulting again with the druggist, concluded TO
try it. / commenced its use about eight months
ago, At which time was confined TO my room.
From the first bottle was astOnished and graft
flied at the beneficial effect and after using il
three weeks was able to walk out. | felt much
like writing you a full ststement of my case at
that time. but thought my Improvement nigh
only be temporary. and therefore concluded to
defer and see If il would effect perfect cure,
knowing then it would be Of greater value to
you and more satisfactory TO me.
l am now able to report that cure is effected
after using the remedy for Eve 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, o nice tonic and invigorator o
the system, do not mean to be without it
whenever occasion may require its use in such
affections. NJ. MCCORMICK.

THE KIDNEYS.

/. >
THE KIDNEYS ARE TWO IN NUMBER,
i situated at the upper part of the loin, sur
rounded by fat and consisting of three parts,
viz: The Anterior.and the Interior, tho Exterior.
The anterior absorbs. Interior consists of
tissues or veins, which serve n deposit for the
urine and convey it to the exterior. The exte-
rior is q conductor also, terminating in single
tube and called the Ureter. The ureters are
connected with the bladder.
The bladder is composed of various coverings
or tissues, divided into parts, viz the Upper,
the Lower, the Nervous and the Mucous The
upper expels. the lower retains. Many have a
desire to urinate without the ability, Others uri-
nate without the ability to retain. This fire.
quently occurs in children.
To cure these affections we must bring into
action the muscles. which are engaged in their
various functions. II they are neglected, Ora
vel or Dropsy may ensue;
The reader must also be made aware, that
however slight may be the attack, ii is sure to
affect his bodily health and mental powers; as
our flesh and blood are supported from these
sources.
GOVT. OR RHEUMATISM.
Pain occurring in the loins is indicative of the
above diseases. They occur in persons dis
posed to acid stomach and chalky concretions.
THE GRAVEL.
The gravel ensues from neglect or improper
treatment of the kidneys. These organs being
weak, the water is not expelled from the blad-
der, bat allowed to remain; it becomes feverish
and sediment FORMS 1t is from this deposit
that the stone is formed and gravel ensres.
DR0PSY
is q collection of water in some parts of tho
body, and bears different names, according to
the parts affected, viz: when generally diffused
over the body, it ia called Anasarca; when of
the abdomen. Ascites; when Of theSchest.
Hydrothorax.
TREATMENT.
Helmbold's highly concentrated compound
Extract Buchu is decidedly one of the best
remedies for diseases of the bladder, kidneys,
gravel. dropsical swellings, rheumatism, and
equity affections. Under this head we have ar
ranged Dysuria, or difficulty and pain in pass
ing water, scanty secretion or small and fire.
quent discharges of water. Strangury or stop
ping OF water. Hermaturia or bloody urine,
Geut and Rheumatism of the kidneys, without
any change in quality, but increase of color or,
dark wqter. 1t was always highly recommended
by the late DR.. Physck, in these affections.
This medicine increases the power of diges-
ton and excites the absorbents into healthy ex-
ercise, by which the watery or calcareous de-
positions and all unnatural engagements, MS
well as pain and Inflammation. are reduced, an

Mr.. WILLIAM j. YOUNG, OF Sarahsville,
Ohio, is gentleman of the Democratic persua-
sion, who during the recent canvass wrote a
letter for the newspapers designed to illustrate
the iniquity of the government in leaving so
many opportunities for Copperheads to en-
rich themselves during the war. Mr..
Young says he was worth $1,000 in. gold
at the beginning OF the war, and
that he sold the same in the first year of the
war at forty per cent premiam!" Everybody
knows, or ought 10 know, that gold did not
command premium of over eight per cent.
during the first year of the war, but there are
fools enough who are willing to believe or pre-
tend to believe this faced lie, so long as it
serves their purposes. This truthful witness
then proceeds to say, that he at once exchang-
ed the $1,000 thus realized in greenbacks for
demand notes, epenf AS the demand notes
were receivable for duties on imports while
greenbacks were not, they were at par with
gold and as gold was then wor,h eight per cent
(not torty) more than greenbacks, it follows
that the exchange could not have been made
even. Lie second. After keeping the demand
notes eighteen months that is till October
1858, at the latest-Mr. Young says he sold his
$1,000 in demand notes for $4,000 in green
backs; but as gold at that time only command
ed premium of 46 per cent. and the demand
notes were certainly worth no more than gold,
it follows that this transaction, which implies
a premium of over 100 per cent, is also impos-
sible. Having by series Of impossible nego-
tiations converted his $1,000 in gold into $4,000
in greenbacks, Mr.. Young says he next invested
30 rl,nIa ,,,r IL, H.
converted INTO 520's, and that he is now derv-
ing an annual income of 5000 in gold from his
property.
In short the whole story is 'flapdoddle -
which has been defined to be "the stuff that
fools are fed on" Indeed, the probability is
that some ingenious and malicious Republican
has set this trap expressly to catch Democatic
pigeons. If this be so, the success of the little
plot is delightful. Yesterday morning the
solemn old Argus discovered the tempting bait
marched heavily up to it, nibbled little.
sprung the trap, swallowed the whole morse,
and went to sleep behind the bars. The moral
which the Argus draws from Young's vera
cious narrative, is that financial 81 stem which
leaves such opportunities for people to acquire
fortunes sis objectionable laundering or worse'
Even if Mr.. Young's extraordinary yarn were
true, we are unable to see that it furnishes any
grounds for the Argus's conclusions. Astor
made money out of fiirs and corner lots Does
the Argus propose to abolish beaver-skins and
repeal Manhattan Island? Because men
might could or would have made money out
of speculations in United States stocks, does
it follow that the stocks were immoral or irreg-
ular? Men make money by selling cider: but
surely the Argus is not going to tell us that
cider is unconstitutional. There has been some
"unpardonable laundering" about this bust
ness, but it has been the laundering cor worse
of the Argus. ti

ANOTHER APPEAL TO BULLETs.-Some of
the Copperheads stand more in need OF recon-
struction than the rebels. He who fights and
runs away lives to fight another day, and the
Canadian reserve" seems to believe that its
day is approaching. Here is the New York
Day-Book's advice to the President:
The man who proposes to redeem the coun-
try by voting, while one half of it is not allow
ell to vote, is in sad want of new set of
brains. The FIRST business of the Democratic
party is to insist that there shall be free con-
stitutional elections everywhere Military
Districts are not States within the meaning Of
the Constitution. Let the. Democracy SO de-
clare; and furthermore declare that the candi-
date for President, who has a majority of cleo
tors in the States which are free from military
interference, shall be inaugurated even though
it be over the dead body of the Congressional
mob. Such a declaration, ON the part of the
Democratic nominating Convention, would
bring to an untimely end all the frOthy pluck
and determination OF the Mongrel leaders,
Their energy has fed and fattened on the irres-
olGtion and cowardice of the Democratic lead
ers. When once the Democratic party enters
the field with determination to support and
defend the Constitution, at whatever hazard
the noisy revolutonists of Congress will
shrink up and collapse, like perforated wind
bags. President johnson has but to take his
stand by the Constitution, e0en at this late hour
to recsi0e the support of the ootes and nauskets
of eUery true Democrat and patriot in the land

CooL.-It is matter of public notoriety
that the New York Tribune has from the first
contended that universal amnesty should be
coupled with impartial suffrage. Its claim as
the originator of this proposition is far more
firmly est ablished than that of Howe as inc III
ventor of the sewing machine. Yet the oip,ns
field Republican, ignoring vested iisn's'
comes out with most pretentious nourisil anu
wants to know what objection can DE mace 10
She Renublican's plan" for fgiving suffrage to
tba white men of the South and to the black
man of the North? 1t claps the climax by
heading quotation from the Tribune, in
which that journal reiterates its views, Be
ginning to see it'-as if the Tribune were a
contumacious and pig-headed sheet that had
for years been resisting the appeals of the
Republican for impartial suffrage and univer-
sal amnesty But whether the "plan" is the
Tribune's or the Republicans there are very
serious objections TO it, and the reasons urged
in its favor by the latter are as two grains OF
wheat hidden in six bushels of chat. 1t says
that 1--WE should not have found the white men
of the South consolidating against Congress
ional reconstruction, if the acts OF Congress
and their iliberal enforcement had not DIS
franchised majority of them, and thus given
supreme power to the black minority" How
then does it account for the contemptuous re-
lection blythe South of the requirements of
Congress which neither DISTINGUISHED the
whites nor gave the negro the ballot? The
Southern States would not ratify the consti
tutional amendment which embraced neither
of these measures. The Republican" further
alleges that the States Of the North
would not be seen denying the
suffrage to their black citizens, in shame
less treachery to their own principles, but for
the sympathy felt for the suhiugated white
men of the South" The correctness of this
proposition is questionable. The Republicans
of Connecticut and Ohio, who voted against
negro suffrage, were, in nine cases ont of ten,
fhen who don't care fig for "the subiugated
white men of the South but who are so con-
scious of the danger of their Identification with
the lower strata of society that they are de-
termned that an artificial discrimination shall
prevent their being classed with "nigger,," at
any rate. To credit such men with sympathy
with any subjugated class, or with any large
