question asked me as to my opinion about Buchu,
would say that have used and sold the article In
various forms for the past thirty years. do not
think there is any form or preparation oft Ihave
not used or known to be used, in the various dis
eases where such medical patent would be indi-
Gated. You are aware, as we'll as myself, that 1t
has been extensively employed in the various dis
eases of the bladder and kidneys, and the reputa-
tion 1t has acquired, In my Judgment Is warranted
by the facts.
f,.have seen and used, as before stated, every
form of Buchu-the powdered leaves, tincture,
fluid extracts, and am not cogniz ant OF any pre-
paratlon Of that plant at all equal to yours Twelve
years. experience ought, think, to give me the
right to Judge of its merits and, without prejudice
or partially Igive you precedence over all others
I value your Yuchu for its effects on patients. I
have cured with 1t, and seen cured with It. more
diseases Of the bladder and kidneys than l hare
ever seen cured with any other Buchu any other

TAXING THE KINKS OUT.-About O'Clock
Thursday afternoon, chap who Sported a
gold watch and chain and any quantity of
mouslache was seen to put down Il dry goods
box ut the corner OF Main and lSt streets
in Dubuque, Iowa. he did it with such an
air of dignity and business that everybody
wondered what his object was, in conse-
quence Of which large crowd assembled.
Among others surrounding this new-tound
centre Of Interest were Il number Of ne-
groes, who are ever willing TO be on hand
on such occasions.
He of the moustache and chain mounted
the box, and Immediately produced from a
satchel number OF bottles which contained
Il peculiar looking fluid. This, he said,
was gotten up by Il phllanthropist, whose
only object was to enhance the happiness
OF the African race. The bringing OF this
invention to perfection was mammoth
work of intellect, and had required the pa
tient study of years. This great boon was
bestowed for the trlt1ing price of one dollar
per bottle, and was nothing more nor less
than an article to take the kinks out of
"nigger's" wool.
This announcement WAS received with
evident manifestations of delight by the CO.
lored people present. The young mokes,
who, many time and oft had mentally de-
nounced Mir. Ham for having been 50 rash
as to incur the dlspleasure Of his aged sire,
in consequence Of which their heads were
covered with TUFTS Of wool, invested liber-
ally in the vendors bottles, and before an
hour had elapsed no less than sixty bottles
We're disposed of. Before the minds eye of
the purchasers arose visions of luxuriant
heads OF hair-hair that was to make cap
lives OF the hearts Of the ebony Dinah, and
which would outvie in beauty the blacklist
dlamond.
The seller of this incompatible stuff
having disposed of as much as he could.
"picked up his traps" and left for CHI |
caSo.
Now comes the sad part OF the story.
The purchasers assembled together and re. |
solved to try the effects Of one Of the bot |
ties on the head Of q diminutiye specimen
OF moke, whose loss, should the kink be
eath-death-dealine, would not create
much of a gap in the community African.
So the application was made, and on Fri
day morning an inquisitive Caucasian went |
TO the residence Of the youth operated on |
TO take note Of effects.
He raped ut the door, and it was opened
