this result. 1t is easily applied,

NERVOUS AND DEB|u|TATED,

Whose sufferings have been prltracted
from hidden causes, and whose cases re-
quire prompt treatment torender existence
durable: II you are suffering, or have suf-
fered, from involuntary discharges, what
effect does 1t produce upon your general
health? Do you feel weak, debilitated, cas-
lily tired? Does little extra exertion pro-
duce palpitation OF the heart? Does your
liver, or urinary organs or your kidneys,
frequently get out Of order? Is your urine
sometimes thick, milky, or focky, or is it
opy on settling? Or does Il thick scum
rise to the top? Or is sediment at the bot
tom after it h1s stood awhile? Do you have
spells of short breathing or dyspepsia?
Are your bowels constipated? DoyOu have
spells Of fainting, or rushes of blood to the
head? Is your memory impaired" Is
your mind constantly dwelling on this
sub Get? Do you feel dull, listless, moping,
tired of company, of life? DO you wish to
be left alone, TO get away from everybody"
Does any little thing make you start or
jump? Is your sleep broken or restless?
Is the lustre of your eye as brilliant? The
y
enjoy Yourself in society rs well" Do you
pursue your business with the same ener-
gy? Do you feel as much confidence in
yourself? Are your spirits dull and flag
ging, given to fits Of melancholy? If so,
do not lay 1t to your liver or dyspepsia
Have you restless nights? Your back
weak, your knees weak, and have but little
appetite, and you attribute this 10 dyspep-
Sia or liver complaint?
Now, reader, S.lf-abuSe, venereal diseases
badly cured, and sexual excuses, reall ca
pable of producing a weakness OF the gen.
erativc o, gans. The organs of generation,
when in perfect health, make the man.
Did you ever think that those bold, defiant,
energetic, persevering, successful business
men are always those whose gcnerative
organs are in perfect health? You never
hear such men complain of being melan-
choly, of nervousness, OF palpitatten of the
heart.
How many men, from the effects Of ex-
cesSeS, have brought about that state OF
weakness in Sexual Organs that has re-
duced the general system so much as 10 in
duce almost every other disease-idiocy,
lunacy, paralysis, spinal affections, suicide
and almost every other form OF disease
which humanity is heir to, and the real
cause of the trouble scarcely ever suspected,
and have used remedies for all bat the right
one.
Diseases of these organs require the use
of a Diuretic. HELMBOLD'S FLUID EN-
TRACT BUCHU is the great Diuretic, and
is certain cure for diseases Of the Bladder,
Kidneys, Gravel, Dropsy, Organic Weak
ness, Female Complaints, General Debility
and al diseases of the Sexual Organs,
whether existing in Male or Female, rom
whatever cause originating, and no matter
OF how long standing.
If no treatment IS submitted TO Consump-
ton or Insanity may ensue. Our flesh and
blood are supported from these sources
and the health and happiness, and that of
posterity depends upon prompt Use Of re-
liable remedy.

SHALL THERE BE A CONVEN.
TON?

We make the following extracts from
a lengthy and very carefully considered
editorial article in recent number Of
the Martinsburg NeU Era:
The question of a Constitutional Con-
yention is, in no sense, party ques-
ton. 1t addresses itself to all parties,
and involves considerations which,
rising above subjects OF mere policy,
involve the principles OF free govern
ment in their original vigor aud SIM
plicity.
No Democrat or Conservative can be
content with an organic law which Is
inconsistent with every idea he has
formed and every lesson he has learned
in regard to the proper objects and
functions Of government. No Repu6-
lican can consistently defend Constr
tuition which is at war with the pro.
pounced tenets CT his own party, because
