Fluid Extract Buchu.
TH E
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.
H. T. HELMBOLD claims superior mode of
extracting its virtues. The experiments 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 as
much attention as diseases of the Liver, 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-
TEN and Liver, and consequently the happiness of
the entire human family, depends. That Buchu
should act upon both Liver and Kidneys to pre-
pare it that it would retain its strength and active
principle, was his aim. 1t must not be made, as
housekeepers make tea, by boiling 1t is delicate
Leaf, and its active principle would be destroyed
by such process. 1t must be prepared in VACUO,
and from the ong-leaf fresh and carefully Sc
lected.
THE SUPERIORITY OF MY MODE OF PRE-
PARATION BEING ACKNOWLEDGED, l now

where the leaves are gathered. large quantities of
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 q day"
Many have broken down their health by dissipa-
ton, and this principle; but they had been years
in doing SO.
What would have understood is that no injury
can arise from its use. 1t is as safe as any article
of food but patients must not expect any medicine
to rebuild a wrecked or shattered constitution in
few days.
This truth is self-eyident that it would seem
unnecessary repeat it not for the fact that
thousands of persons who intelligent in all other
matters seem to think unreasonably, that a cura-
tive agent must exhibit its specific effects immedi-
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 it than they would of FIFTY DOLLARS in
medicine to rebuild a 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,
and would like to be satisfied all the points.

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 a remedy to prolong life, or an nfaoe cure
for cholera cons umption, what monster would
he be to withhold his knowledge! We have yet TO
learn from what chapter or verse ia Scripture to
quote that may not heal others of their fellow
of any disease"
Nor have we asked Pickwicks, affected prudes,
or, in short, men who 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
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."
