A Case Of Twenty Years
Standing.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, June %, 1867.


H. T. HELMBoLD, Druggist-DEAR SIR: l have
been n 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 adj
yertised, consulted my family physician in regard
to using your Extract Buchu.
did this because Ibad used all kinds Of adver.
tised remedies and hSd found them worthless, and
scme quite injurious; in fact, despaired of ever
getting well, and determined to use no remedies
hereafter unless knew of the ingredients. 1t 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 it about eight months ago.
at which time was confined to my room.
From the first bottle was asto8ished at the ben
efcal effect, and after using 1t three weeks was
able to walk out. felt much like writing to you
full statement of my case at the time. but thought
my Improvement might only be temporary, and
therefore concluded to defer, and see il it would
effect perfect cure, knowing then it would be OF
greater value to you and more satisfactory to me.
| 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, and
feel as well in all respects as ever did.
Your Buchu being devoid of any unpleasant taste
and odor nice tonic and invigorator of the system,
do not mean to be without it whenever occasion
may require its use in such affections.

DEAR SIR We introduced your Fluid Extract
Buchu" in this country about eight months ago, and
happy to state that it is meeting with universal
favor. We wish to inform you Of one instance
(among many where your ABuchus has worked
wonders. A man in our county, named j. Is. Ee-
tell, had been suffering about five years with gray
Ell. About ak weeks ago he bought of us one bot
tie Of your "Buchu,n and before he was through
with one bottle he passed gravel that weighs eight

are gaining favor every day Very respectfully

Mr. H. 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. | do not
think there is any form preparation Oft have not
used or known to be used. in the various diseases
where such medical patent 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 it has ac'
quired, in my judgment, is warranted by the facts
have seen and used, as before stated, every form
of Buchu-the powdered leaves, tincture fluid ex.
tracts-and am not cognizant of any preparation
of that plant at all equal to yours. Twelve years
experience ought, think, to give methe right to
Judge of its merits and, without prejudice 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,

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" II somebody should dis
cover a remedy to prolong life, OF an infabe cure
for cholera consumption, what a monster would
he be to withhold his knowledgel We have yet to
learn from what chapter verse in 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 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 bigots and the envy of "Quacks."

By every educated Physician for more than
TWO HUNDRED YEARS.
HELMBOLD claims superior mode OF
extracting its virtues. The experiments were 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, hio
neys, Gravel and Urinary Organs, existing in Doth
sexes. These diseases were justly attracting as
much attention as diseases of the Liver or 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-
tenn and Liver, and consequently the happiness Of
the entire human family, depends. That Buchu
should act upon both Liver and Kidneys, to pre-

GLASS SASD.-Thc Belletonte National
takes the phiiipsburg .Jou,y,cG to task for
noticing the existence of good gla 5 sand in
this county, and then adds that Centre
county produces bettcr quality of sand,
ani has the enterprise to manufacture it
INTO glass" That rather questionable
assertion, Ia part, Mr. National; for. if We
are correctly informed. the Clearheld glass
sand Is pronounced by Pittsburg manuiactur-
erS, who have tried it, as being OF very
superior quality for the manufacture OF
white glass, and have expressed a willing
ness to take al the Ciearfeld sand that can
be shipped thi,her That this sand should
be manufactured into glass at home, instead
OF shipping it away, admits of no difference
OF opinion, and, we hope, the day is not dis
tant when some of our citizens will be pos
SeSSed OF enterprise enough to establish a
hrst class glass works at this place.
