Ipropose to give evidence that this Remedy is
not a 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 knowledgei We have yet to
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 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 preju-
dice of bigots and the envy of "Quacks."

ted tribute to the merits of HELMBoLD's 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
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 HELMBoLps
BUCHu, 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 persevere in its use, and
now at the expiration of four months, although
am an infrm old man, nearly seventy-eight years
OF age, and consequently medicines cannot be
pected to favorably affect me they otherwise
would have found such unspeakable relief and
permanent benefit from Mr.. Helmbod's valuable
discovery, that feel ought to publicly record the
fact, as an acknowledgment to him, and valuable
suggestion to the public. Yours respectfully,

H. T. HELMBOLD'S
CONCENTRATED
Fluid Extract Buchu.
THE
GREAT DIURETIC.

The Proprietor trusts that his Remedies from the
fact of being advertised, may not be classed Pa
tent Medicines.
BUCHU, in one form or other has been presented
by every educated Physician for more than
TWO HUNDRED YEARS.
ii. T. 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 Kid
neys, Gravel and Urinary Organs, existing in both
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-
TEN and Liver, and consequently the happiness OF
| the entire human family, depends That Buchu
should act upon both Liver and Kidneys, to pre-.
pare it that would retain its strength and active
principle, was his aim. 1t must not be made, az
housekeepers make tea, by boiling. 1t is delicate
Leaf, and its active principle would be destroyed
by such process. 1t must be prepared in vACUO'
and from the Longeaf, fresh and carefully Sc.
lected.
THE SUPERIORITY OF MY MODE OF PRE-.
PARATION BEING ACKNOWLEDGED, now
ship even to the point CAPE OF GOOD HoPE),
where the leaves are gathered large quantities Of
MY FLUID EXTRACT.
IN FACT, THE ARTICLE STANDS PRE- EMIL
NENT, AND Is KNOWN In ALL PARTS OF THE
WORLD.
The first and most important object was to offer
to the afflicted remedy that was perfectly safe,
| and could be taken by adults and children. lgno-
rant persons, who pay no attention to dose direc.
ton, or advice, might reason, THAT if teaspoon
full, taken occasionally, did good, two would do
better, and perhaps bottle would cure In day p
Many have broken down their health by disspa-
tion and this principle; but they had been years
in doing So
What would have understood is, that no injury
can arise from its use. 1t is safe any article
of food; but patients must not expect any medicine
to rebuild wrecked or shattered constitution in q
few days
This truth Is so self-eyident that it would seem
unnecessary to repeat it, it not for the fact that
thousands of persons who are intelligent in all other
matters, seem to think unreasonably, that q cura-
tive agent must exhibit its specific effects immedi.
aely, when the fact is, that time is often impor
tant element in the progress of safe and thorough
| cure even when the medicine is working the best
results. These same persons would expend HUN
DREDS, yes, THOUSANDS of DOLLARS, in
articles of LUXURY and DISSIPATION, and think
less of it than they would of FIFTY DOLLARS in
medicine to rebuild BROKEN DOWN and WORN
OUT CONSTITUTION.
Notwithstanding the number Of years have been
engaged in business there may be those located at
distance that may not be aware of all the facts,
and would like TO be satisfied all the points.

A Case of Twenty Years
Standing.
August IL, 1865.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, June rs, 1857


H. T. 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.
Having seen your preparations extensively ad-
vertised, consulted my family ply scan in regard
to using your Extract Buchu.
did this because had used all kinds of adver-
tised remedies and had found them worthless, and
some quite injurious; in fact, despaired of ever
getting well, and determined to remedies
hereafter unless knew of the ingredients. 1t
this that prompted me to use your remedy. AS you
advertised that it was composed of buchu cubebs
and juniper berries it occurred to and my phys
ican as an excellent combination; and with his adj
vice, after an examination of the article and
sultng again with the druggist concluded to try
it. l commenced to use 1t about eight months ago.
at which time was confined to my room.
From the first bottle was astonished at the ben
efcial effect, and after using it three weeks was
able to walk out. felt much like writing to you q
full statement of my at the time, but thought
my Improvement might only be temporary and
effect perfect cure, knowing then it would be Of
greater value to you and more satisfactory to me.
am now able to report that cure is effected,
after using the remedy for five months.
have not used any now for three months, and
ieel as well in all respects as ever did.
Your Buchu being devoid of any unpleasant taste
and odor, nice tonic and nvigorator of the system,
do not mean to be without it whenever occasion
may require its use in such affections.

The reduction of taxation which COM
menced ON Saturday last, comes like a
surprise to many who had been reading
the democratic papers. They are as diff
cult to persuade that taxation has been and
will continue to be abated, as they were to
believe that Richmondwas taken by Grant.
1t hurts their feelings to have their pretexts
for complaint failing, but Grant has prom

THIRD OHIO DISTRICT.

The discussions between General
Schenck and Hon. Lewis D. Campbell IN
the Third Ohio district are warm and In
teresting. To the charge made by Nene-
raj Schenck that the democratic party Is re-
sponsible for the war and debt, Col. Camp
bell replied by declaring that democrats
went into the war with alacrity and in good
numbers. and denied the right to hold them
chargeable with the war and its conse-
onences. General Schenck reioined by
admitting that individual democrats went
into the army and fought bravely, but de-
clared that the party as party fought
against the government in the field and at
the ballot box. This distinction is one
necessary to be made and corresponds
precisely to the facts. Those democrats
who enlisted in the Union army had to do
60 against the influence of the party to
which they belonged, and the most OF
them who did enlist and adhered faithfully
to the Union cause have since acted with
the republican party. 1t is no credit to
the democratic party that democrats be-
came good soldiers, because such demo-
Gratis had to fight the teachings and ten
denotes of the democratic organization
both before they enlisted and after they
were in the field 1t is credit to the in
diyidual democratic soldiers that they were
superior to the base influences of their
party. but let not the democratic party,
which opposed them, undertake to appro-
pirate to itself the merit of their deeds OF
patriotism. 1t was their enemy from be-
ginning to end and the most of them I'M
derstand that fact thoroughly.
On the question of taxation General
Schenck replied to the arguments OF his
opponent in favor of direct taxation, by
saying that he preferred that such articles
as whiskey and tobacco should pay oui
taxes. To this Mr. Campbell objects, and
saws that every man should be taxed from
his first to his last dollar, paying as much
in proportion if he owns but ten dollars as
If he owned ten thousand. But we dc
not tax land, says Mr.. Schenck, and never
have done 80, for the purposes OF the
general government. The land is the ba-
sis of our wealth and prosperity; every
industry is de pendent upon it, and for
that and other reasons we have always kept
land from taxation. Under Mr.. Campbell's
doctrine the land must be taxed, which is
now exempt, and bread must be taxed
like tobacco, and milk as well as whiskey.
This Mr.. Schenck said is not in accordance
with the republican idea, which is to make
the Injuries pay for carrying on the gov
eminent and for the discharge of its debts.
The contest in this district is very close.
1t is Vallandigham's home and stronghold,
who has been aroused to activity by some
of the singing remarks of Schenck.
There is also an influence unfriendly to
the republican candidate started by out
side republicans who are opposed to his
opinions about taxation and the tariff.
He is, however, making gallant fight,
and we hope he will achieve handsome
victory.

the following item is taken from the edi-
torial columns of the Portland Advertiser
1.-The tender to Mr.. Morrill, OF the Eng.
lish mission, confirms what has been said
of the Presidents interest in the Senator
ial contest in this State. Nothing could
have been more delicate than the way in
which President Grant indicated at once
his high regard for Mr.. Morrill, and his de-
sire that General Chamberlain should be-
come his successor in the Senate"
The indelicacy of publishing such a fc-
ton, is equalled only by that mendacity,
which, in the spirit and purpose of ex-
treme personal partisanship, could con-
ceive it.
