PERMANENT CURE OF A PATIENT WHO HAD
SUFFERED FOR FIFTEEN YEARS WITH DIS
EASE OF THE KIDNEYS.
This is to certify thatin the year 1869 one OF our
customers, a gentleman aged so years, who had been
aicted for fifteen years with disease OF the Kidneys
called on us for HELMBOLD'S EXTRACT BUCHU,
and after having used eight bottles stated to us
that he considered himself permanently cured. He
has no hesitation In stating that he received more
benefit from the use OF HELMBOLD'S EXTRACT
BUCHU than from the treatment of various eminent
physicians during the time above stated and recon-
mends the same to all who may be suffering from
any disease originating from a disordered state of
the kidneys.
Statements similar to the above have been re-
ceived by us from various sources during the past
four years. Yours, truly,

DEAR SIR:-I have been q sufferer for upwards OF
twenty years with gravel bladder, and kidney afec
tions, during which time have used various med-
cal preparations, and been under the treatment OF
the most eminent physicians, experiencing but little
relief
Having seen your preparations extensively adver-
tised, consulted my family physician in regard to
using your Extract Buchu.
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 me 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 con-
suting again with the druggist concluded to try
it. commenced to use itabout eight months ago,
at which time was confined to my room.
From the first bottle was astonished and gratifed
at the beneficial effect, and after using it three
weeks was able to walk out felt much like writing
to you full statement of my at the time, but
thought my Improvement might only be temporary,
and therefore concluded to DEFER and see If 1t would
effect perfect cure knowing that it would be OF
greater value to you and more satisfactory to me.
am now able to report that cure is effected
| after using the remedy for five months
Ihave not used any now for three months, and
| feel as well in all respects as ever did.

EDITOR "CosM0PoLTE":-I desire as an unsoli-

for the benefit OF those similarly aiicted as myself
to say that after consulting many eminent physl-
cians and trying nearly all the best advertised
dies in the vain hope Of finding relief from aggra-
waited kidney and bladder diseases, from which
have suffered excessively for many years, good for
tune finally suggested to me Helmbold's Buchu,
which commenced using with little faith, and no
apparent beneficial results for about a MONTH At
the expiration OF that time, however, 1 thought
commenced to experience slight relief, which en-
couraged to persevere in its use, aud now at the
expiration OF four months, although am infrm
old man, nearly rs years OF age, and consequently
medicines cannot be expected TO favorably affect
me as they otherwise would, have found such un-
speakable relief and permanent benefit from Mr..
Helmbolds valuable discovery, that feel ought to
publicly record the fact, as an acknowledgment to
him and valuable suggestion TO the public.

tt icks Of Travellers,

The Utica Observer tells of smart
youngster who tried to reach Albany free
gratis" The conductor and he had some
words soon after starting:
Where do you want to gos'
"To Utica"
"Why didn't you get off there?"
!" didn't wake up"
This is an oft played dodge on the
Central. Sometimes it works and quite
as often it doesn't. The conductor told the
smart young man to get offat Little Falls,
where the first halt was made. When
the train stopped the conductor stepped
into the Little Falls ticket office and sure
enough up came the same young man to
buy ticket for Albany. He had enjoyed
free ride so far, and was satisfied to pay
the rest of the way.
The conductor, disguised in the hat and
coat of the regular ticket seller, sold the
smart young man ticket for Albany.
He charged full fare and the smart young
man, ignorant Of the rates, very innocent
ly and willingly handed over the amount
named, Then there was an obstinate
young man, who found the cars badly
crowded, and refused to give up his ticket
until the conductor should supply him
with a seat. The official mildly attempted
to pacify the youth, assuring him that if
the rush had been anticipated an additional
car would have been provided
The young man would accept of no
apology, and doggedly refused to surren-
der the ticket. At this point gentleman
sitting near very kindly came to the relief
of the conductor. "Young man" said he,
take my seat. have been riding two
hundred miles and can rest myself by
standing"
The obstinate fellow dropped into the
vacant seat and the ticket was passed over.
But v zen the conductor left the car the
obliging gentleman underwent sudden
change.
He stepped up and said: "Get out of
this seat, you young dog Move quick I!
or III cut ye up to peak, I'm pretty
mean myself, but you're meaner.
Young Mr.. Obstinacy, satisfied that
the six,footer could demolish him, picked
up his "carpet satchel and got into an
other car with more haste than grace.
The "obliging gentleman is the mayor
of thriving western city. His western
style of dealing with "young dogs" was
highly relished by the passengers.
