A Case Of Twenty Years
Standing.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, June IS, 1867.
HIT HELMBoLD, Druggist-DEAR SIR: have
been q sufferer for upwards Of twenty years with
gravel, bladder and kidney affections, during which
and been under the treatment of the most eminent
physicians, experiencing but little relief
seen ~ ard
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. It was
this that prompted me to use your remedy. AS you
advertised that 1t was composed OF Duchu, cubebs
and juniper berries it occurred to me and my phys
vice, after an examination of the article and con-
sulting again with the druggist, concluded to try
it. commenced to use = about on e,gn. o months ago.
From the first bottle was astonished at the ben
efcial effect and after using i three weeks was
able to walk out. felt much like writing to You
full statement of my case at the time. but thought
my Improvement might only be temporary, and
ies woua Se Of
greater value to you and more satisfactory to me.
am now able to report that a cure is effected,
after using the remedy for I'VE months.
have not used any now for three months, and
feel as well In all respects as ever did
Snd
/ do not mean to be without it whenever occasion
may require its use in such affections.

H. T. HELMB0LD'S
CONCENTRATED
Fluid Extract Buchu.
TIL
GREAT DIURETIC.


The Proprietor trusts that his Remedies, from the
fact of being advertised, may not be cassed as Pa
tent Medicines.
BUCHU, In one form or other, has been presented
by every educated Physician for more than
TWO HUNDRED YEARS.
II. I. HELMBOLD claims a superior mode Of
extracting its virtues. The experiments were made
while engaged in the DRUG business in the city Of
Philadelphia, nineteen years ago, prompted by the
alarming increase of diseases Of the Bladder, Kid
neys, Gravel and Urinary Organs, exist in both
sexes. These diseases were justly attracting as
much attention as diseases of the Liver, or any
other vital organs of the body Upon the sound and
healthy condition of these important organs, the
healthy and harmonious action of the nervous sys-
tenn and Liver, and consequently the happiness Of
the entire human family, depends. That Buchu
should act upon both Liver and Kidneys, to pre-
pare so that would retain its strength and active
principle, was his aim. 1t must not be made, as
housekeepers make tea, by boiling. is delicate
Leaf, and its active principle would be destroyed
by such process. 1t must be prepared in TACUO
and from the Long-leaf, fresh and carefully Sc
lected.
THE SUPERIORITY OF MY MODE OF PRE-.
PARATION BEING ACKNOWLEDGMENT, now
ship even to the point CAPE OF GOOD HOPE),
MY FLUID EXTRACT.
INTACT, THE ARTICLE STANDS PRE-EMI.
NENT, AND Is KNOWN IN ALL PARTS OF THE
WORLD.
The first and most important object was to offer
to the afflicted remedy that was perfectly safe,
and could be taken by adults and children. Igno-
rant persons, who pay no attention to DOSE direc
ton, or advice, might reason, "That if teaspoon
full, taken occasionally, did good, two would do
better, and perhaps bottle would cure In day"
Many have broken down their health by dissipa
tion and on his principle; but they had been years
in doing so.
What would have understood is, that no injury
can arise from its IL Is as safe as any article
of food; but patients must not expect any medicine
to rebuild a wrecked or shattered constitution in a
few days.
This truth is SO self-eyident that it would seem
unnecessary to repeat it, were 1t not for the fact that
thousands of persons who intelligent in all other
matters, seem to think unreasonably, that cura-
tive agent must exhibit its specific effects immedi
atey, when the fact is, that time is often impor
tant element In the progress Of safe and thorough
cure, even when the medicine is working the best
results. These same persons would expend HUN.
DREDS, yes, THOUSANDS of DOLLARS, in
articles of LUXURY and DISSIPATION, and think
less of ii than they woald of FIFTY DOLLARS in
medicine to rebuild BROKEN DOWN and WORN
OUT CONSTITUTION.
Notwithstanding the number of years have been
engaged in business there may be those located at
a distance that may not be aware Of all the facts,
and would like to he satisfied on all the points.

Ipropose to give evidence that this Remedy Is
not q patent medicine. The objection which gener-
ally lies against all discoveries and inventions in
medicine is publicity" II somebody should dis
remedy to prolong life or an infallible cure
for cholera or consumption, what monster would
he be to withhold his knowledgei We have yet to
learn from what chapter or verse in Scripture to
quote. 'that may not heal others of their fellow men
of any disease"
Nor have we asked Pickwicks, affected pr,ides,
or. in short, men who are possessed of every kind
OF sense but common sense, and all kinds of opin-
ions but their own. The Buchu is good thing. 1t
has hundreds of thousands of living witnesses to
attest its virtues and commend it. 1t is the preju
dice of bigots and the envy of "Quacks."

Cure. of Kidney and Bladder
Affection of a Patient
seventy-eight years
of age.

THANKS TO MR.. HELMBOLD.
G1RARD Pa, March 81, 1869.
EDITOR CosMoPoLITE IL desire, as an unsolici.
ted tribute to the merits of HELMBoLD's BUGHU,
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
BUCHU, which commenced using with little faith,
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 inhrm old man, nearly seventy-eight years
of age, and consequently medicines cannot be ex-
pected to favorably affect me as they otherwise
would, have found such unspeakable relief aud
permanent benefit from Mr.. Helmbolds valuable
discovery that feel ought to publicly record the
fact as an acknowledgment to him, and a valuable
suggestion to the public. Yours respectfully,
