CARE OF HOUSE PLANTS.

There is an art in watering plants which
novice rarely knows. They should
never be watered unless they are really
thirsty; unless the surface of the soil is
dry, then water until it runs out into the
saucer. After all are thus thoroughly
watered,. turn out the surplus which is in
the saucers, asst is injurious to most plants
to have the pot stand in water. Hydran-
geas, Gala Lilies and Lobelas are the en-
ceptions which prove this rule. Plants
whichare budding and blossoming vigo-
rously require more water than those which
are not so healthy. In fact, judgment is
needful in this matter of watering, and it
is only attained by practice. One thing is
very necessary, and that is always to use
+. warm water to the hand. Never apply
even one drop of cold water. 1t chills the
roots SO that they cannot grow. We had
friend who used to water her plants
with the tea left in the teapot after break
fast, and her success as cultlyatof was
marvellous. Rather expensive after this
cruel war; :" but it certainly was efiicacious.
All plants kept in rooms should be well
washed at least once II fortnight, and once
week will insure more healthy growth

CASE OF TWENTY YEARS STANDING.
PHILADELPHIA, Penn, june 25, lst

II. T. HELMBoLD, Druggist-DEAR SIR: have
been sufferer for upwards of twenty years with
gravel bladder and kidney affections, during which
time have used various medicinal preparations,
and been under the treatment of the most eminent
physicians, experiencing but little relief.
Having seen your preparations extensively ad,
vertjsed, consulted my family ply scan i'll 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
this that prompted me to use your remedy. AS you
advertised that it was composed of buchu, cubebs
and juniper berries, it occurred to and my phys
ician as an excellent combination and with his adj
vice, after an examination of the article and
suting again with the druggist, concluded to try
it. commenced to use ii about eight months ago,
at which time confined to my room.
From the first bottle was astonshed at the ben.
eficial effect and after using it three weeks was
able to walk out felt much like writing TO you a
full statement of my at the time, but thought
my Improvement might only be temporary, and
effect perfect cure, knowing that it wonld 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.
have not used any now for three months, and
feel AS well in all respects as ever did.
Your Buchu being devoid of any unpleasant taste
and odor nice tonic and inv gorator of the system
do not mean TO be without il whenever occasion

THANKS TO MR. HELMBOLD.
G1RARp, Pa, March 81. 1869.

-
EDITOR CosMOPLITE: desire, as an unsolicited
tribute to the merits of Helmbolds Buchu, and for
the benefit OF those similarly afflicted myself to
say that after consulting many eminent ply sicans,
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 results for about month. AT the expir.
alton of that time, however. thought commenced
to experience slight relief which encouraged me to
persevere in its and now, at the expiration of
four months, although ] inirm old man,
nearly g years of age, and consequently medicines
cannot be expected TO favorably affect me they
otherwise would have found such unspeakahle
relief and permanent benefit from Mr.. Helmbold's
valuable discovery, that feel ought TO publicly
record the fact, : an acknowledgement to him and
a valuable suggestion to the public.
Yours respectfully, D.M LAREN.
