Cure of Kidney and Bladder
Affection Of a Patient
seventy-eight years
of age.
THANKS TO MIR. HELMBOLD.

THANKS TO MR.. HELMBOLD.
GIRARD, Pa, March 81, 1869.
EDITOR CosMoPoLIrE Il desire as an unsolici-
and for the benefit of those similarly afflicted as
myself, to say that after consulting many eminent
physicians and trying nearly all the best advertised
remedies, IN the vain hope of finding relief from
aggravated kidney and bladder diseases, from
which have suffered excessively for many years,
good fortune finally suggested to me HELMBoLD's
BUCiTU, which commenced using with little tah
and no apparent beneficial effects for about
month. At the expiration Of that time, however,
thought commenced to experience slight relief,
which encouraged me to perseyere in its use. and
now at the expiration of four months, although
am an inrIn old man, nearly seyenty-eight years
Of age, and consequently medicines cannot be eX-
pected to favorably affect as they otherwise
would, have found such unspeakable relief and
permanent benefit from Mr. Helmbods valuable
discovery, that feel ought to publicly record the
fact, as an acknowledgment to him. and valuable
suggestion to the public Yours respectfully,

mourn. Few more faultless men live in our

The bankrupt law has been amended by
recent act of Congress in some few par
ticulars which are worthy of public notice.
Provision is now made that the circuit
Judge, in case of sickness, absence or
other disability of the district judge, may
make all necessary rules and orders pre-
paratory to the final hearing of causes in
bankruptcy. The law now provides also
that the provisions of that section, known
as the fifty per cent. clause, shall not ap-
ply to those debts, from which the bank
rupt seeks discharge, which were con-
tracted prior TO the first of January, 1869.
In other words a debtor, whose assets do
not pay fifty cents on the dollar, must now
obtain the assent OF a majority in number
and value of those creditors only whose
debts were contracted since the first of
January, 1869. A clause of the thirty
ninth section makes it an act of bankrupt
cy, that person "being banker, mer-
chant, or trader, has fraudulently stop
ped or suspended. and not resumed pay
ment of his commercial paper within a
period of fourteen days Much difficulty
has been found by the courts in the con-
struction of this clause, especially as to
the meaning of the word ''fraudulently. y
All the ambiguity has been removed by
an amendment as follows Tor who be.
ing a banker, broker, merchant. trader
manufacturer or miner, has fraudulent,
stopped payment, or who has stopped o
suspended and not resumed payment o
commercial paper within period OF four
teen days" The bankrupt law is improv
ed by these amendments, but it would b
still further improved by an amendmen
to provide for the custody of the bank
rupts property between the time o
filing the petition and the appointment o
an assignee.
