H. T. HELMB0LD'S
CONCENTRATED
Fluid Extract Buchu.
TIL Il
GREAT DIURETIC.

The Proprietor trusts that his Remedies, from the
fact of being advertised may not be classed as 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 a 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 diseases of the Liver, or any
other vital organs of Che 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 that it would retain its strength and active
principle, was his aim 1t must not be made, as
housekeepers make tea, by boiling. 1t is delicate
Leaf, and its active principle would be destroyed
by such process. Thrust be prepared in vACUO,
and from the Long-leaf, fresh and carefully Sc
lected.
THE SUPERIORITY OF MY MODE OF PRE-
PARATION BEING ACKNOWLEDGMENT, l now
ship even to the point CAPE OF GOOD HOPPE,
where the leaves gathered. large quantities of
MY FLUID EXTRACT.
INTACT, THE ARTICLE STANDS PRE-ENiI
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. Igno-
rant persons, who pay no attention to dose, direc
ton, or advice, might reason, 'That il teaspoon
fill, taken occasionally, did good, two would do
better, and perhaps bottle would cure in a day."
Many have broken down their health by dissipa
ton, and on his principle; but they had been years
in doing so.
What would have understood is, that no injury
arise from itssuse. 1t is as safe as any article
Of food; but patients must not expect any medicine
to rebuild wrecked or shattered constitution in
few days.
This truth is SO selfevident that it would seem
unnecessary to repeat it, were it not for the fact that
thousands of persons who intelligent in all other
matters seem to think unreasonabiy, that cura-
tive agent must exhibit its specific effects immedi
atey 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 on all the points

There is an item in circulation describ-
ing how the Chinese, at their burying-
ground at San Francisco, twice n year
place food upon the graves of their de-
ceased relatives. A friend of ours-a
medical student says he is glad that
custom does not prevail here, for, if his
landlady should ever undertake to place
upon his tomb any of the provender with
which she now supplies him, he would
rise right up. and leave the graveyard.
That is. unless she spread some of her but
ter over the sod; for it is strong enough
to hold whole generation of dead men
down, allowing one pound to the ceme-
terry.

II. T. HRLMBoLD, Druggst-DEAR SIR: have
been a sufferer for upwards of twenty years with
gravel bladder and kidney affections, during which

physicians, experiencing but little relief.
Having seen your preparations extensively ad.
vertised, consulted my family physician 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 despared of ever
getting WELL and determined to 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 and my phys
vice, after an examination of the article and con-
suting 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 astonished at the ben
efcial effect, and after using it three weeks was
able to walk out felt much like writing to you a
full statement of my at the time, but thought
my Improvement might only be temporary and
therefore concluded to defer, and see it it would
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 nvgorator of the system,
do not mean to be without it whenever occasion
may require its use in such affections.

DIR. III. r. HELMBoLD,
DEAR SIR: We introduced your Fluid Extract
Buchu" in this country about eight months ago and
are happy to state that 1t is meeting with universal
favor. We wish to inform you Of one instance
(among many where your "Buehu" has worked
wonders. man in our county, named j. Is. Es-
tell, had been suffering about five years with gray
el. About six weeks ago he bought of us one bot
tie of your "Buchu," and before he was through
with one bottle he passed gravel that weighs eight
grains, which we now have exhibition in our
drug store. He says he never will be without the
"Bucbu" in his house again. Your preparations
are gaining favor every day. Very respectfully
yours, &C., ECCLEs q HINKLE, Druggists.

MR. III. I. 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 wen myself, that it has been
extensively employed in the various diseases of the
bladder and kidneys, and the reputation it has
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, L think, to give me the right to
judge of its merits, and, without prejudice or par
tiality, give you precedence over all others.
l 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.

England is gradually approaching
America. If the process which has been
going on for many hundred of years con-
tinues unchecked for as many thousands,
the. inhabitants of the State of Labrador
may look across the gradually narrowing
waste of waters in the year OF our Lord
1851, and see the west coast of England
SO near that the Atlantic will be reduced
to strait. 1t is well known fact that
the sea is encroaching slowly upon the
east coast of England, and that on the
west the land is gaining on the sea. The
latest startling reminder of this is land
slip at Whitby, a town on the sea to the
north of scarborough. The people living
under what is known as the East Cliff late
one night in December last were rudely a.
reused from their slumbcr by the crack
ing of walls and ceilings, which told them
that their real estate was about to be
conveyed in manner extremely unsat-
isfactory to the owners. The alarm spread
and by moonlight the people prepared to
remove their goods. The mass of earth
moved steadily but slowly, and by the
next night it had come to rest, a large
part of the village and the whole of the
village graveyard having been pushed out
to sea, where the waves were tearing to
pieces the frail houses and preparing
their forces for new attack on the cliff
Fortunately the motion of the caving earth
was so slow that there was no loss of life,
but the destruction ofproperty was great
1t is eighty-three years since similar
slip occurred near Whitby, but elsewhere
on the coast the progress of the sea has
been greater and not less perceptible be-
cause unmarked by extensive caving like
that which has just taken place. On old
Yorkshire maps are still to be seen, be-
yond the present coast line, the names OF
dozen places ''lost in the sea-" and au-
thentic record exists that Hornsea, now a
coast town, was once ten miles inland.
A similarly hostile movement of the
ocean is destroying with irresistible at
tacks portion Of the coast OF New Jersey.

10 Federal An,hor,t,

Previous to the late war, there were
ten specific attempt, to defy the authoriry
Of the Federal Government since its for
nation:
The FIRST was in 1872. and was a con
spiracy of some of the officers of the
Federal army to consolidate the thirteen
States into one, aud confer the supreme
power on Washington
The second was in 1897. called "Thay's
IUsurrection," in Massachusetts,.
The third was in 1894, popularity
called The Whisky InsurrectiOn OF
Pennsylvania"
The fourth instance was in 1914, by
the Hartford Convention OF Federalists
The fifth, on which occasion the diff
ferent sections of the Union came into
collision, was, in 1920, under the admin
istration of President Monroe aud oc
CURED on the question of the lmission
of Missouri into the Union.
The sixth was collision between the
Legislature of Georgia and the Federal
Government, IN regard to certain lands
given by the latter to the Greek Indians.
The seventh was in 1880, with the
Cherokees OF Georgia.
The eighth was the memorable uulli
flying ordinance Of South Carolina in
1892
The ninth was in 1912, and occurred
in Rhode Island between the suffrage
association" and the State authorities.
The tenth was in 1856. on the part OF
the Mormons, who resisted the Federal
authority.
