sTHE PENALTY FOR DESTROYING FoR-
Esrs.-Spain, Italy, and portions ofFrance,
are now suffering from the improvidence
that deyoured their forests, leaving the
future to take care of itself presume the
great empires of antiquity suffered from
the folly. though to much greater extent.
The remains ofnow extinct races who form
erly peopled and titled the central valleys
of this continent, and especially the Ter
ritory of Arizona, probably bear witness to
a similar recklessness, which is paralleled
bv our fathers and our own determination
ofthe magnificent forests of white pine,
which, barely a century ago, covered so
large a portion of the soil of our Northern
States. Vermont sold white pine abund-
antly to England, through Canada, within
my day. she is now supplying her own
wants from Canada at a cost not less than
five times the price she sold for; and she
will be paying still higher rates before the
close ofthis century. | entreat our farm
ers not only to preserve every tree, good,
bad or Indifferent, that may happen to be
growing upon their lands, but, outside ofthe
limited districts wherein the primitive for
ests must still be cut away in order that
land may be obtained for cultivation, to
plant and raise ut least two trees for every
one they may be impelled to cut down.

A CASE OF TWENTY YEARS STANDING.
PHILADELPHIA, Penn, June p, ls6

PHILADELPHIA Penn June 25 1867.
HIT HEIMBoLD, 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 al,
vertised, 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, despaifed of ever
getting well, and determined TO use no remedies
hereafter unless knew of the ingredients IL was
this that prompted me to use your remedy. As you
advertised that it was composed of buchu, cubebs
and juniper berries, it occurred to me and my phys
cian as an excellent combination; and with his adj
vice, after an examination OF the article and con
sulting again with the druggist, concluded to try
it, commenced to use 1t about eight months ago,
at which time vas confined TO my room.
From the first bottle was astonshed at the ben
efcal effect, and after using it three weeks was
able to walk out. felt much like writing to you a
full statement of my case at the time, but thought
nv improvement might only be temporary, and
therefore concluded to defer, and see il 1t would
effect perfect cure knowing that it wonld be OF
greater value to you and more satisfactory to me.
l am now able to report that a cure is effected,
after using the remedy for five months.
have not used any now for three months, ana
feel as well in all respects as ever did.
Your Buchu being devoid OF any unpleasant taste
and odor nice tonic and nv vgorator of the system
do not mean to be without it whenever occasion

where such medicate agent would be indicated
You are aware, as well as myself that it has been
extensively employed in the various diseases OF the
bladder and kidneys, and the reputation II mas nc
quired in my Judgment is warranted by the facts
l have seen and used, as before stated every FORM
of Buchu-the powdered leaves, tlncture, huid eN
tracts-and am not congnizant of any preparatiS
of that plant at all equal to yours. Twelve years

THANKS TO MIR. HELMBOLD.

GIRARD, Pa, March 81, 1869.
EDITOR COSMOPLITE: ! desire, as an unsolicited
tribute to the merits of Helmbods Buchu, and for
the benefit of those similarly afflicted myself to
say that after consulting many eminent phys scians,
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 a month At the eXpr-
alton of that time however, thought commenced
to experience slight relief which encouraged me to
persevere in its use and now at the expiration of
four months, although am an iniirm old man,
nearly rs years of age and consequently medicines
cannot be expected to favorably affect me as they
otherwise would have found such unspeakable
relief and permanent benefit from Mr.. Helmbolds
valuable discovery, that feel l ought to publicly
record the fact as an acknowledgements to him and
a valuable suggestion to the public.
