THANKS TO MR. HELMBOLD.


GIIARD Pa March 81, 1869.
EDITOR COsMOPLITE: desire, as an unsolicited
tribute to the merits of Hclmbold's Buchu, and for
the benefit of those similarly afflicted 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 Helmbods Buchu, which
beneficial results for about month. At the expir.
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 nfrm old man,
nearly Is 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.. Helmbold's
valuable discovery, that feel ! ought to publicly
record the fact, as an acknowledgement to him and
a valuable suggestion to the public.
Yours respectfully, ID. M. LAREN.

UnfermenteG Manure.

Many excellent farmers have a.. idea
that manure to be most efficient in raising
crops should be we'll rotted; bnt this is q
mistake Manure loses very heavy per
centage. Fresh manure, dripping with
anima! urine, hauled directly from the
stable on the land and plowed urder, is
worth nearly double that which has de-
composed 10 saponaeous con. ,s;ency.-
When it is convenient for farlnt S 10 haul
manure on corn ground from the stable as
fast as it is made, it saves handling 1t
twice, and forwards the work in busy
spring time. No fears need be entertain
ed that the atmosphere will carry off the
strength of the manure if left on the sur
face. The only danger to be unprecedented
by this method will be i'll case of the
ground being frozen and covered with
snow and ice when the manure is applied:
if upon aloping land, the virtue of the
manure might wash way; but on level land
there is no execution 81 Ills ti;s Si:. is:. 6 opera
