We have published the celebrated medical adj
vertisement of DR.. H. T. Hembold Previous to
doing so, we have received moderate reward In
the usual way, of payment, which we apply to all
the wares, wants and business cards we presentto
our readers. 1t is our custom to examine every
thing thoroughly which we offer through our
columns ard to refuse all that cannot COM
mend. Now as our readers know we never do
anything by halves, they can readily infer that
when so-called medical advertisement occupies
a whole page in the Church Union, we mean some
thing by it. 1t is not our purpose to dodge, or
tergiversate, or wink at any such thing. We have
no managing agent who smuggles into one column
what is boldly condemned in another. The Get
tysburg Asylum swindle Came to us; we
judged not by feeble sense, popular disfa-
vor, nor by Congressional action, but we
examined for ourselves, and no money In the
world could buy one inch of the Church Union to
commend it. Precisely the same course we pur-
sued toward aelmbold's Buchu. We had seen 1t
everywhere it haunted our vision on rock, noun

and by the waysiGe, we saw this omnipresent spe-
cle advertised We never gave II t 70 ~ Ut

plation than this wonderful medicine. So when it
came up for our consideration, we. determined to

wrong, all the world may espouse, yet let our

| cleave TO the roof of our mouth, If we waver one
atom in our devotion. If it be right, not even
the fact that host commend, and fortune is
being made out OF it, shall keep Us from fidelity
this world that they will never advocate a good
thing if anybody gets good living by it. We
know of men who won't hear Henry Ward BE echer
preach because he lives IN brown stone 'front.',
| and manages to keep the wolf from the door quite
easily. just so with DR.. Helmbold; because he
| is making fortune by his enterprise, we cannot
| bend ourselves to the mean task OF condemna-
| ton and wholesale SANDER. There is some
thing about the man you like at once. He is no
| quack. A quack is an empiricist. who hampers
nothing about DR.. Heimbold is an educated
man ; he is frank in every respect; readily lays
before you the ingredients or vegetable com
pounds of his medicine The very process of
distillation are perfectly patent; there is no dia
bolical decoction or compromising OF elements
that are vile, and, of course, secret. Everything
| il open and above board; what he does he knows
you cannot be in his establishment three minutes
without seeing that he is a man who knows what
medicine he sells SO largely ali over the world is
the very best diuretic known 1t is in strict ac-
cordance with the text the head of this article.
1t is but the leaf of shrub or tree, gathered by
the wild Hottentots and has been known for
many years. MANY others have used it, and bear
/ ample testimony to its usefulness. We dare any
nnprejudiced physician to test its virtues and not
yield to it's superior merits. There are other in
gradients, as hisadvertisement shows And now,
having good thing, devoted to it with an enthu-
siasm which bespeaks honesty at once, what can
we say? what need we say? The diseases treated
are, some of them, peculiar and fearful but did
our Savior shrink from the loathsome leper be-
cause the world did? The buchu is a specific
remedy, andought to go over all this world II 1T Is
what any scientific man can prove tito be. Be-
4 lieving it to be a blessing, we have allowed 1t
place, and shall do it again, and for any and every
Fl good thing. AS toad or viper would we shrink
from error or evil whether of church or State; but
every good thing we advocate. Let the insane
man who cries out quack at every thing medicinal,
lspause reflect, and come to his senses. Quackery
is empirical, but such is not the buchu; nor Of
such is the enterprisiug and enthusiastic man who
