Cure of Kidney and Bladder
Affection of a Patient
seventy-eight years
Of age.
THANKS TO MIR. HELMBOLD.

GlRARD, Pa. March 81, 1869
EDITOR CosMoPoLlTE:-l desire, as unsolic-
ted tribute to the merits of HELMBoLDs 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
BCCllt, which commenced using with little faith
and no apparent beneficial effects for about a
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 lutrm old man, nearly seventy-eight years
OF age, and consequently medicines cannot be eX-
pected TO favOrably affect they otherwise
would, have found such unspeakabe relief and
permanent benefit from Mr. IIclmbold's valuable
discovery that feel ought to publicly record the
fact as an acknowledgment to him. and valuable
suggestion to the public. Yours respectfully

MR.. II. T. HELMBoLD-DEAR SIR: In regard To
the question asked me as to my opinion about Bu-
chu would say have used and sold the article in
various forms for the past thirty years. l do not
think there is any form preparation Oft have not
used, known to be used. in the various diseases
where such medical patent would be indicated.
on are aware, as well As myself, that it has been
extensively employed in the various diseases of the
bladder and kidneys, and the reputation it has &C
quired, in my judgment, is warranted by the facts.
Ihaye seen and used, as before stated, every form
of BuchU-the powdered leaves, tincture fluid en-
tracts-and am not cognzaut of any preparation
of that plant at all equal to yours. Twelve years
experience ought, think, TO give me the right to
Judge of its merits and, without prejodice or par
TALLY, give you precedence over all others.
value your Buchu for its effect on patients
have cured with it, and seen cured with it, more
diseases of the bladder and kidneys than have
ever seen cured with any other buchu or any other
proprietary compound of whatever name.
Respectfully yours, &c,

Ipropose to give evidence that this Remedy is
not Il patent medicine. The objection which gener-
ally lies against all discoveries and inventions IN
medicine is publicity" II somebody should dis
cover remedy to prolong life, or an nfalibe cure
for cholera or consumption, what monster would
he be to withhold his knowledgel We have yet 10
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 prudcs,
or in short, men who are possessed OF every kind
of sense but common sense, and all kinds of opin-
ions but their own. The Buchu is good thing. 1t
has hundreds of thousands of living witnesses to
attest its virtues and commend it. 1t is the preu'
dice of bgots and the envy of "Quacks.'

II. I. 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.
veltised / consulted my family physician in regard
TO using your Extract Buchu.
did this because had used all kinds of adyer-
tised remedies and had found them worthless and
some quite injurious in fact, despaIred OF ever
getting we'll and determined to use remedies
hereafter unless knew of the ingredients. 1t was
this that prompted me to use your remedy. syou
advertised that it was composed of buchu, cuhebs
and juniper berries, it occurred to me and my phys
ician 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 II about eight months ago,
at which time was confined to my room.
From the first bottle was astonished at the hen.
efical effect, and after using i 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 ii it woaad
effect perfect cure, knowing then II would be OF
greater value to you and more satisfactory to me:
! am now able to report that cure is efectst,
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 andnvigorator ofthe system,
] do not mean to be without it whenever occasion
may require its use in such affections

ADJOURNMENT Ot CONuh1iOo.
Both Houses of Congress adjourned, yestcr'
DAY afternoon-and the second session OF the
Forty First Congress closed. The members are
rapidly leaving Washington for their rcspec

Senate adopted the last conference report on
the Indian Appropriation bill, similar to that
passed by the House. Tho bill for the CT
couragement of American shipbuildng and
commerce, was taken up and debated without
any vote being reached. The credentials the
Senators elect from Georgia, were laid over un-
til next session.
la the House of Representatives the confer.
ence report on the Civil and Miscellaneous Ap'
preparation bill was adopted. Reports in con-
tested election cases were made from the COM
mittee, the only one acted on being that to give
MIR. Julian the scat from the Fourth Indiana
District, which was adopted, Another confer
encs report was made on the Indian ApprOpria
ton bill, which was passed. 1t provides for an
appropriation of $4,000, 900, provided that
nothing therein shall be construed to affirm or
deny the validity Of tho treaties made with the
Indians by the Sherman Peace Commission in
1867 and 1865. MIR. Wilkinson offered a reso-
luton demonstrating against any attempt by a
European Power to seize Cuba, and authorizing
the President to recognize the insurgcnt Gov
ernmcnt which was rejected. A message was
received, in both Houses from the President,
a copy OF which, with the action of Congress
upon it, is given in another article.

The vessels OF this country at the present

1he interests of the country viii he advanced
by the opportunity to our citizens to purchase
vessels OF foreign construction lor the foreign
trade Of the country. An act to this effect
may be limited in It's duration to meet the
immediate exigency.
The foreign mail service of the u. s. Is in a
large degree dependent upon the Bremen and
Hamburg line OF steamers. The PuStOthce
Department has entered into contracts in writ.

making the trip across tho Atlantic in from
twenty four 10 thirty-six hours in advance of

In the Senate the message was read and no
further action taken upon it. In the House it
vas referred to the Committee of Ways and
Means. from which majority and minority
report were made upon it. The former did
not recognize a state of war in Europe and
discharged the committee from its further
consideration. The latter sustained the Presi-
dent vi,ws of the situation in Europe, and
embodied resolution repeating the act pre-
venting American registers being issued to
foreign built vessels. The House discussed
the whole matter at length, but adjourned
finally without reaching vote upon it.
