propose to give evidence that this Remedy is
not patent medicine. The objection which gener'
ally lies against all discoveries and inventions in
medicine is publicity If somebody should dis
cover remedy to proong life, or an iniallible cure
for cholera or consumption, what monster would
he be to withhold his knowedgei 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 Pickwcks, affected prndes,
or, in short, mon who are possessed of every kind
of sense but common sense, and all kinds of opin'
ions but their own. The Buchu is a good thing. 1t
mas 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."

H. r. HELMBOLD'S
CONCENTRATED
Fluid Extract Buchu
TIL e
GREAT DIURETIC.

The Proprietor trusts that his Remedies, from the
fact of being advertised may not be classed as Pa
tent Medicines.
BUCHU, in one form or other, has been presented
by every educated Physician for more than
TWO HUNDRED YEARS.
H. T. ITELMBOLD claims a superior mode oil
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, existing in both
sexes. These diseases were justly attracting rs
much attention as diseases of the Liver, or any
other vital organs of the body. Upon the sound ana
healthy condition of these important organs, the
healthy and harmonious action OF the nervous sys-
TEN and Liver, and consequently the happiness OF
the entire human family, depends. That Buchn
should act upon both Liver and Kidneys, to pre-
pare so that would retain its strength and active
principle, was his aim. 1t mast not be made, as
housekeepers make tea, BY boiling. II is dehcate
Leaf and It's active principle would be destroyed
by such process. 1t must be prepared in VACUO,
and from the Long-leaf fresh and carefully se-
lected.

where the leaves are gathered. large quantities OF
MY FLUID EXTRACT.
IN FACT, 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. 1gno-
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
ton, and on his principle; but they had been years
in doing so.
What would have understood is, that no injury
can arise from its use. 1t is safe any article
of food but patients must not expect any medicine
to rebuild wrecked or shattered constitution in
few days
This truth is so self-evident that it would seem
unnecessary to repeat it, it not for the fact that
thousands of persons who are intelligent in all other
matters, seem to think unreasonably, that a cura-
tive agent must exhibit its specific effects immed
ately 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 would 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
distance that may not be aware of all the facts,

GIRARD Pa, March 81, 1869.
EDITOR CosMopoLrrE II desire as an unsolici-
ted tribute to the merits of HELaBoLDs 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 fath
and no apparent beneficial effects for about n
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 nfrm old man, nearly seyentg-eight years
of age and consequently medicines cannot be ex
pected to favorably affect they otherwise
would, have found such unspeakable relief and
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,

CALIRoRNIA CRoPs.-We received a
letter this morning from E. d. Per-
kins, Esq, of Suisun City, Solano
County, California, which states that
the crops in that vicinity never looked
better for n large yield. Solano Is one
of the heaviest grain producing coun-
ties in California, and has n of the
healthiest and ~pleasantest climates in
that State. We were over there last
November, between the Goth and 3Oth,
and found the gardens at Suisun in
full bloom with choice and fragrant
flowers, while the grain fields and the
meadows were adorned with beautiful
green verdure. There are also many
most excellent people in Solano
County; especially at Suisun.

4 WORD ABOUT '.TAHoE."-A gen.
tleman of this city recently received a
letter in relation to the proper name
of the body Of water known, rs Lake
Tahoe. from 4 person who has resided
in the vicinity for many years, and
knows whereof he speaks. We have
been permitted to make the following
extract: I'm regard to the matter,
the name of the lake,, l a only say
that the name ''Tahoe is not the H.
dian name for the lake. The Indian
name is Eiah-Pe-,eee, the meaning Of
which is "Water Flat" The word
Tahoe those Indians cannot explain, it
being simply the name Of an Indian.
The Indians here inform me that the
name Riah-Pe-ree Is the proper. name
for that body OF water, or ut least, that
is what those Indians called it. This
tribe never had any name for it, rs it
belonged to the Indians on the other
side of the mountains."-SGc. Bee.

BRUTAL. MURDERIN LoNDoN.-A day
or two before the last maille Eng
land, a strange affair occurred in a
private hotel in Mnsbury, London.
The inhabitants of the house were
aroused at dead of night by the crash
ing of glass. The landlady went down
stairs, and met the night porter, named
Spinas "a Germany, at the top of the
kitchen stairs. He called out, "Don't
go down-the devil Is there J" a pO-
liceman was called. and, upon entering
a small room In which Spinas slept, a
horrible spectacle presented itself.
Lying OH her back, with her features
all beaten in and gasled, "the eyes
running into the cheeks and into one
another" was the body Of 4 woman!
Her dress was torn, bloody and disar-
ranged. She had evidently fought des-
perately for her life, and in one of her
hands a few dark hairs were found,
corresponding with the hair of Splnas.
No one could tell at first who she was,
or whence she came. But the an
noumcement Of the discovery In the
newspapers led to the Identification.
She was n girl from the country, young
and pretty. who had taken to q diSso-
lutte life. Spinas must have met her.
taken her to the room in question, and
there beaten her to death with empty
champagne bottles. He was arrested,
and it Is q comfort to know that If he
IS found guilty of the crime no polit-
ical influence will save him from the
CallOws.
