A CASE OF TWENTY YEARS STAND
ING.
Pm1ADrrYHIA, PRINT, June eSth, 1857.

PHnADELRmA, PErOs., June 26th, 1857.
H. r. HelnsbOId, Druggist:
DEAB srR II have been sufferer for upward of
twenty years with gravel, bladder and kidney af-
fections, during which time have used various
medical preparations and been under the treatment
Of the most eminent physicians, experiencing but
little relief
Having seen your preparations extensively ad-
vertised, consulted with my family physician in
regard to using your Extract Buchu.
l did this because had used all kinds of adver-
tised remedies and had found them worthless, and
some quite injurious in fact, despaired of ever
getting well, and determined to use no remedies
hereafter unless knew of the ingredients. 1t was
this that prompted mo to use your remedy. As you
advertised that 1t was composed Of buchu, cubebs
and juniper berries, It occurred to me and my ply
sician as an excellent combination; and, with his
advice, after an examination Of the article and
consulting again with the druggist, I concluded to
try 1t. I commenced to use 1t about eight months
ago, at which time was confined to my room.
From the first bottle, was astonshcd and graft
fed at the beneficial effect and after using 1t three
weeks was able to walk out. / felt much like wr1-
ting you full statement Of my case at the time
but thought my improvement might only be tenn
pCray; and therefore concluded to defer, and see
II 1t would effect perfect cure, Knowing then 1t
would be Of greater value to you and more satisfac
tory to me.
IM MOVABLE TO REPoRr THAT oURE rs KTpEo-
TED AFTER USING THE HEMRDY ron FIVE MONTHS.
IHGvE NOT USED nsY NOW FoR THREE MONTH";
AND rREr As WELL IN ALL RRsfRoTs AS I EvER DID.
Your buehu being devoid Of any unpleasant taste
and odcr, nice tonic and invigo-ator Of the sys.
TEN. do not mean to be without II whenever occa.
sion may require its use In such affections.

"Wil the Fluid Extracts go out of use, owing to
the high prceP or can we have some authoritative
notifications of the formulas, by which we can
make them at more reasonable costS"
Ii the latter shall the change be in the quality
OF the menstruum, or in the manner Of applying il,
so as to reduce the quantity requisite Can there
be convocation of the Committee of Revision to
authorize some new method or modification of the
present receiptsf"
With regard to the contemplated change in the
quantity or in the menstruum ITSELF in the prepara
tion of the fluid extracts would take occasion to
say that in medicine the health of the patient is the
greatest object to be gained
The cost the material is something but when
put into the scale with human health, and often hu
man life, 1t is hardly worthy OF consideration at ALL
Buchu (Helmbold's will continue to be made as
formerly and, If it cannot be maintained at pres
ent prices, they will have to be advanced to meet
the advance in the price Of material To such as
desire quantity instead Of quality we would say that
water is cheap commodity and may be readily ad-
ded by the persons using the medicine Il they desire
to do so.

EXTRACT OF BUCHU-I is no patent medi-
cine, but simply an extraction of the vital principle
oil an herb which grows spontaneously at Cape
Good Hope, Africa, and of whose medical qualities
there is no material difference of opinion as to its
virtue in those cases for which 1t is recommended.
Helmbold, the great chemist of New York, only
claims for his article superior mode of extracting
the value Of the plant and not impair Its vital prn
ciple. Every one who has visited his mammoth
laoratory pTonounces 1t one of the most extensive
and complete establishments in the world, and Just
regard 1t great addition to the science of medi-
cine. he makes no secret of his process, but cor
daily invites the public to visit his store and see
ior themselves If you want pure and strong ex
tract, buy Helmbolds Buchu and sarsaparilla.

A Coon MEDIoNE.-The next best thing to re-
liable physician in any community is good medl
Cne and to sincere and skillful practitioner 1t is
an invaluable help. To know a remedy and to ap-
ply 1t is the Doctors great business; aside from
this, his advice Is from experimental practice and
we are only experimenting when following 1t. The
reliable medicine Is therefore, thegeat desderatun.
To direct when to administer it is all the physician
is required to do. In Buchu, as prepared by DR..
Helmbold we have, therefore, all that is needed
Every bottle Of the extract has full directions for
Its use. 1t is quack medicine, but comes to the
patient with the recommendation Of some of the
brightest intellects known to the science of physc.
A medicine bearing the unqualified endorsement Of
