PREPARATION OF COMPOUND Elk
TRACT BUCHU. The component parts
are, BUCHU LONG LEAF, CUBEBS
JUNIPER BERRIES.
MODE OF PREPARATIoN:-Buc in
vacuo. Juniper berries, by distillation,
to form fine gin. Cubebs extracted by
displacement with spirits obtained from
Juniper Berries; very little sugar is used,
and small proportion of spirit. 1t is
more palatable than any now in use.
Buchu, as prepared by Druggists, is
of dark color 1t is plant that emits
its fragrance; the action of a flame de-
stroys this Gts active principle leaving
dark and glutinous decoction. Mine
is the color of ingredients. The Buchu
in my preparation predominates. The
smallest quantity of the other ingredi-
ents are added to prevent fermentation;
upon inspection it Will be found not to
be a Tincture, as made in Pharmacopma,
nor is it Syrup-and therefore can be
used in cases where fever and infamma,
ton exist. In this, you have the knowl-
edge of the ingredients and the mode OF
preparation.
Hoping that you will favor it with s
trial, and that upon inspection it viii
meet with your appreciation,
With a feeling of profound confidence,
am very respectfully,

HooFLAND's GERMAN BITTERs.-There is
probably no disease to which " human flesh is
heir" that is more distressing in it's effects than
that of Dyspepsia, and kindred diseases arising
from disorders of the Liver and Digestive Or
gans, and it is this fact, probably, which has
caused the preparation of the American rene
dies now before the public. Among these
remedies are DR.. Hollands German Bitters,
which has been prominently before the public
for years, and which has received the highest
testimonials from thousands of our citizens
who have tested its efficiency in dieases of the
character referred to. 1t has also received the
highest commentator from physicians who
have used it in their practice with complete
success. The Hoofands Bitters is a strictly
medicinal preparation, and contains no alcohol,
rum, or whisky.
Hollands German Tonic is combination of
the ingredients of the Bitters, with pure Santa
Cruz Rum, orang6, anise, &c. 1t is used for
the same diseases as the Bitters in cases where
an Alcoholic Stirnulant is necessary. 1t is
preparation of rare medicinal value, and most
agreeable to the palate Chronicle, Pits

Sleep and Habit.

Sleep is much modified by habit
Thus an old artilleryman often enjoys
Tranquil repose while the cannon are
laundering around him; an engineer has
been known to fall asleep within boi-
Ter, while his fellows were beating it on
the outside with their ponderous ham
mers; and the repose of miller is no
wise incommoded by the noise of his
mill. Sound ceases to be stimulus to
such men, and what would have proved
an inexpressible annoyance to others is
by them altogether UNDECIDED. It is
common for carriers to sleep on horse
back, and coachmen on their coaches.
boys were so exhausted that they feel
asleep on the deck amid the deafening
thunder of that engagement. Nay, 81
lence itself may become stimulus,
while sound ceases to be so. Thus, a
miller being very i'll, his mill was stop
ped that he might not be disturbed by
its noise; but this, so far from inducing
sleep, prevented it altogether; and it
did not take place until the mill was set
going again. For the same reason the
manager of some vast iron-works, who
slept close to them, amid the incessant
din of hammers, FORCES and furnaces.
would wake ii there was any cessation
of the noise during the night.
To carry the illustration still further,
it has been noticed that a person who
falls asleep near church, the bell of
which is ringing, may hear the sound
during the whole of his slumber, and
be nevertheless aroused by it's sudden
cessation. Here the sleep must have
been imperfect, otherwise he would have
been insensible to the sound. The noise
of the bell was no stimulus; it was it's
cessation, which by breaking the monot-
ony became SO, and caused the sleeper
to wake.

Summer Past and Gone.
BY WILLIAM H. DAVIS.


Summer is ended-its reign is DER.
Its flowers all withered and dead:
And the autumn days have come once more,
A CARPET of leaves to spread.
Already see them dropping down,
Blown hither, thither, and yon-
Leaves of amber, scarlet, and brown,
That tell of a summer gone.
Summer is ended-alas tits so,
For | see it everywhere,
In the whispering winds that signing blow
Through the trees already bare.
And the leaden gray cast of the sky,
With its cold clouds driven on,
Warns US of winter very nigh,
And a summer past and gone.
Summer is ended-this do we know.
By the birds that sing no more
When the faintest streak of morn doth show,
And the light of day is o er.
flushed their song in wood and dell
At eve and mornings dawn:
By this | read the lesson well
Of a summer past and gone.
Summer is ended-its stay, how brieft
How quick hast sped away,
And brought again the falling leaf,
That tells us, each dull day,
A winter cold we must endure,
That fast is fastening on,
And teaches Us this one thing sure.
Of a summer past and gone.

Horrors of a Battle Field.

General Trochu, the present Cover
nor of Paris, published book on the
French army in 1867. We quote few
expressions of his Towards the close
of his work he says -
g My conclusions [ have already
expressed the opinions this: Of all
the qualities OF warrior, that which
bears the strongest evidence of the So
idity of his character, and the reality of
his couragesis modesty. By aperilous
but inevitable reaction, excitement and
exultation are succeeded, especially
with men as tickle as the French, by the
opposite extreme. They become slack
and Respondent when fortune turns
against them"
Trochu describes the horrors of a
battlefield, which no man of well con-
stituted mind can play part in or wit
ness without deep and solemn feelings.
When the ground is strewn with dead,
when the dying are expiring in hides
cribable commissions, when the wounded
are painfully dragging themselves along
towards some hedge, or ditch, to escape
the tramping of cavalry or artillery
wheels; when in every direction
are scattered arms, headgear, hav-
ersacks-horses PROSTATE or struggling.
OF careering riderless and wildly about !;
when bodies of troops, which have
been badly cut up and broken, make
distractedly for the rear, declaring the
enemy is upon them, that their COM
rades have been slaughtered, and all is
lost in such moments, says Trochu-
and he puts it to all who have witness
ed such scenes" in such crisis 4" land
many there have already been during
this war;, edo you believe that the
thirst of glory with some, or the hope
of reward with others, suffice to sustain
the heart exposed to such cruel test =?
No, they require more noble source of
courage-the lofty sentiment of duty
and sacrifice. It is then, that masters
of themselves, they march firmly and
generously to death and those among
them retain their calmness who have
faith in life to come -

Oil in Pennsylvania

1t may be interesting to many who
invested In oil stocks and oil territory to
know of farm recently developed in
the heart of the oil region of Pennsylva
MIA which has, during the past five
months, yielded such large quantities of
oil as to almost revive among producers
and operators an excitement like that of
1864. This farm is owned by a Mr..
James McCray, and is situated on the
top of hill, in the town of Petroleum
Center. During the great oil excite
ment Mr.. McCray diligently cultivated
his farm, in blissful ignorance of the
streams of wealth lying beneath the
well-turned turf, from out of which
grew splendid crops of hay and oats.
Last April, however, well was sunk on
the farm which yielded 400 barrels per
day. Other wells were sunk with equa
success, giving to the fortunate owner
an income which is now 81, 900 day-a
revenue for Prince-which must, if IL
continues year longer or more, make
him one of the wealthiest capitalists in
Pennsylvania.

TEMPERANCE MEN ADMIT ITS UTLITY-No
attempt has ever been made or ever will be
made, to disguise the character of Plantation
Bltters. 1t contains alcohol; and no Bitters
that do not contain alcohol are worth a rush.
Water will neither preserve the virtues of ton
ic vegetables nor render them active in the
system. This is chemical fact which no one
competent to deliver an opinion on the subject
will deny. Water tonics turn sour on the stom-
ach, if they are not sour to begin with, (Which
is frequently the case), and produce and pro-
mote indigestion, instead of curing it. Let it
therefore be distinctly understood that Planta-
ton Bitters is an alcohol restorative. But
mark this it is strictly medicine, not a
beverage. 1t is to be taken in limited quanti-
ties and at stated times, like other remedies
and antidotes, and therefore it's use is in accor-
dance with temperance law, as well as that
higher law which renders it incumbent upon
every being gifted with reason to resort to the
best possible means of accomplishing saluta-
ry end.
