Nh. b. 7. HELMeoLD-DEAR sms-In re-
gard to the question asked me as to my
opinion about Buchu, I should say that I
have used and sold the article in various
forms for the past thirty years. 1 do not
think there is any form or preparation of it
I nave not used or known to be used. in the
various diseases where such medicate agent
would be indicated. You are aware, as well
as myself, that it has been extensively en-
ployed in the various diseases Of the blad-
der and kidneys; and the reputation it has
acquired, in my judgment, is warranted by
the facts.
I have seen and used, as before stated,
every form of Buchu-the powdered leaves,
tincture, fluid extracts; and I am not cog
infant of any preparation of that plantat all
equal to yours. Twelve years experience
ought, 1 think, to give me the right to judge
of its merits; and, without prejudice or
Partially, I give yours precedence over all
others.
value your Buchu for its effect on pa
tients. Ihave cured with II, and seen cured
with it, more diseases of the bladder and
kidney than I have seen cured with any
other Buchu, or any other proprietary COM

A CASE OF
TWENTY YEARS STANDING.

PHILADELPHIA, Penn, June 25, 1867.
q. 7. HELMBoLD, Druggist-DEAR SIR:-
I have been a sufferer for upward of twenty
years with gravel, bladder and kidney af-
fections. during which time Ihave used va
rious medical preparations, and been under
the treatment of the most eminent physi-
clans, experiencing but little relief.
Having seen your preparations extensive
ly advertised, 1 consulted my family physi-
clan in regard to using your Extract Buchu.
L did this because I had used all kinds of ad-
vertised remedies, and found them worth
less, and some quite il furious. In fact, Ide-
SPARED of ever getting well, and determined
to use no remedies hereafter unless I knew
of the ingredients. 1t was this that prompt
ed me to use your remedy. As you adver
tised that it was composed of buchu, Gu
bsbs, and juniper berries, it occurred to me
and my physician as an excellent combina-
ton; and, with his advice, after an exam
nation of the article and consulting again
with the druggist, 1 concluded to try it. 1
commenced to uss it about eight months
ago, at which time I was confined to my
room,
From the first bottle 1 was astonished
and gratifed at the beneficial effect; and
after using it three weeks was able to walk
out. I felt much like writing to you a full
statement of my case at the time; but
thought my improvement might only be
temporary, and therefore concluded to de-
fer, and SEQ if it would effect a perfect cure,
knowing that it would be of greater value
to you and more satisfactory to me.
am now able to report that a cure is eff
fected, after using this remedy for five
months.
Ihave not used any nov for three months
and feel as we'll in all respects as I ever
did.
Your Buchu being devoid of any In
pleasant taste and odor, a nice tonic and
invigorator of the system, I do not mean to
be without it whenever occasion may re-
quirs its use on such occasions.

troubled with both Inflammation of the
Kidneys and Gravel, and I resorted to sew
eral remedies, without deriving any benefit
whatever; and, seeing your ExTRAcTBUcHU
advertised, I procured a few bottles, and
used them. Theresult was a complete cure
in a short time. I regard your EXTRACT
BUcHU to be decidedly the best remedy ex-
tant fer any and all diseases of the Kidneys,
and I m quite confident that it will do all
you claim for ii. You may publish this if
you desire to do SO.

DEAR SRI commenced taking your

much for a few days past. But yesterday
relief came through the effect Of your

feel perfectly well, and entirely free from
the pain that I have suffered with $50

persons similarly affected to try it. I
have great faith in its curative powers.

BUCHU

My Fluid Extract.

THE ARTICLE STANDS PRE-EMI-
EEET, AND IS KNOWN IN ALL PARTS
OF THE WORLD.
The first and most important object was
to offer to the afflicted a remedy that was
perfectly safe, and could be taken By adults
children. Ignorant persons, who pay no
attention to dose, direction, or advice,
might reason ''that, if a ~teaspoonful taken
occasionally did good, two would be bet
ter, and perhaps g bottle would cure in q
day."
Many have broken down their health by
dissipation, and on this principle; but they
had been gears in doing SO.
What I would have understood is that no
injury can arise from its use. 1t is as safe
as any article of food; but patients mustnot
expect any medicine to rebuild a wrecked
or shattered constitution in a few days, and
perhaps with a single bottle.
Notwithstanding the number of years I
have been engaged in the business, there
may be those located at q distance that may
not be aware of the facts, and would like to
be satisfied on all the points. Having been
educated q druggist, Iappend the following;

A Story the Great Show man Doesn't
TELL

p. T. Barnum tells, in his au,obiogra.
ply, great many stories illustrative of his
own sharpness, but omits as many more in
which the laugh happens to be al his own
expense. One of these omit ed incidents
occurred i'll the spring Of 1866, when Bar.
mum was member of the Connecticut
House of Representatives. 1t was the Sec
ord week of the session. and David Clark,
of Hartford, being in town-,he legislature
met in New Haven that ye,r-gave q very
elegant dinner at the Savin Rock House, in
honor Of Governor Hawley, who had just
been inaugura,ed. Twenty or thirty gen.
temen were invited. among them P. 7.

Hartford Post, then editor of the Norwich
Bulletin, and Representative from Norwich.

who had never met the Snowman before ex-
cept once, casually, at the beginning of the
session, was q good deal disgusted with
him.
By and by, after the dinner had been di..
posed of, Mr.. Clark proposed the health Of
Gov. Hawley, and the Governor responded
in a little speech. One or two other dis.
tlnguished gentlemen wer, toasted and re-
sponded, and then Barnum's health was
proposed. The great Snowman rose with
the manner of man who was to say the
funniest things of the evening, and was
confident he cou d fil the bill. and with an
air of mock embarrassment began:

The question had not left his lips before
Brom., sitting away at the other end o. the
table, without lifting his eyes from the nuts
on his plate, shouted in answer: "Chauncey

The entire crowd happened to know that
story of the Barnum.Jerome tailure-how
each accused the other of dishonesty, and
how Barnum had come out Of it rich. while
Jerome an old broken down m1n, was left
without dollar in the world.
The effect was electrical. The crowd
stamped and yelled until the dishes danced,
ard Barnum for the first time in his life
was really embarrassed. He had not anv
thing to say. After while. when the up
roar had sufficiently snbsided to give him
chance. he manag d to say, he owed the

four upper stories are somewhat longer on
the lower than on the upper side, and the
curve backward is quite perceptible on q
close glance at the upper side. But this is
not enough to impair the symmetry Of the
structure, o. alter, materially, the line of in.
clination. Its design is very beautiful, and
apart from its peculiar feature, it would
have attracted attention and renown as a
specimen of the architectural skill Of the
age. The view from its summit over the
magnificent level and fertile plain in which
Pisa is situated, through which the Arno,
then a muddy torrent, winds its way TO the

Mediterranean itself, and over the Apen-

of Naples, looking at the smoke and mists
that hung over Vesuvius. That night we
caught tremendous squall of wind and
rain from the east, that forced us far off the

morning we were farther away from Capri
