A Case of Twenty Years
Standing.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, June IS, 1867.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa June IS, 1867.
H. T. HELMBoLD, Druggist-DEAR SIR: 1 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.
vertised. / consulted my family physician in regard
to using your Extract Buchu.
! did this because had used all kinds of adver.
tsed remedies and had found them worthless, and
some quite injurious; in fact, despared of ever
getting well, and determined TO use 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, II occurred to me and my phys
cian an excellent combination. and with his adj
vice, after an examination of the article and con-
sulting again with the druggist, concluded to try
1t. 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
full statement of my at the time, but thought
my improvement might only be temporary, and
therefore concluded to defer, and see il 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
eel as well in all respects IA | 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.

Ipropose to give evidence that this Remedy is
not patent medicine. The objection which gener-
ally lies against all discoveries and inventlonsn
medicine is publicity" If somebody should dis.
cover . remedy to prolong life infallible
for cholera or consumption, what monster would
he be TO withhold his knowledgei We have yet to
earn 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 Pickwicks, affected prudes,
or, in shot, men who are possessed of every kind
Of sense but common sense. and all kinds of opin.
ions but their own. The Buchy 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."

MIR. II. T. HELMBOLD-DEAR SIR: In regard to
the question asked me to my opinion about Blu
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
used, known to be used, in the various diseases
where snch medical patent would be indicated.
You are aware, as well as myself that it has been
extensively employed in the various diseases OF the
bladder and kidneys, and the reputation 1t has ac.
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, think, to give me the right to
judge of its merits, and, without prejudice par
TALLY, give you precedence over all others.

diseases of the bladder and kidneys than have

HIT. 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 rs
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.
tenn 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 t would retain Its strength and active
principle wac his aim. 1t must not be made, as
housekeepers make tea, by boiling 1t is delicate

ing the spoils OF the Custom House large
number of the Greeley-Fen coalition are
enjoying the spolh q Tsp@auy. Each
organization has appointed its delegates to the
party State Convention, which is to meet at
Saratoga Springs on the 9th of this month,
and that Convention is to determine which are
the genuine and which the spurious represen-
tatives of the republican party.
General Grant supports the ConkliDg-
Murphy organization, and this fact ought to
settle the question, and it probably will but
we have our doubts about it. The great
trouble is Mr.. Greeley. We understand that
with any show for the Vice Presidency next
year with General Grant Mr.. Fenton is dis
posed to reconciliation; but Mr.. Greeley, as
''Honest Old Abe" expressed it in reference
to another man, ''has got the buzzing bee Of
the White House in his ear, and 1t will be the
death Of him." He will go to this Saratoga
Convention to cut out General Grant. We
have the promise, to be sure, from Mr.. Gree
ley that he will abide by the decision of the
Convention but the promises of politicians are
like pie crust-they are made to be broken
Hence we think it likely that the republican
party of this State will be divided into two
parties in our coming November contest
should the party State Convention at Saratoga
blackball the Fenton-Greeley organization,
and we suspect that this blackballing will
come. But why should Mr.. Greeley bolt in
being blackballed? Because he appears to be
resolved, sink or swim, survive Or perish,
that General Grant shall be reduced to one
term, and that Mr.. Greeley shall be his sue
cesssor. A very absurd notion this, but it is
Mr.. Greeleys ultimatum.
Here then, is hope still for Tammary and
the New York democracy; for it cannot be
forgotten that on pitifnl Custom House quar-
rel under President Pierce the New York
democracy throughout the State were divided
into two hostile camps, Bronson party and a
Redfeld party, and that between these two
parties the opposition walked over the course.
Thus, although it may be wonderful thing,
Mr.. Greeley, the friend in need of JEFF Davis !,
may in their sorest afaictious be the salvation
Of the New York democracy. -a+~.'t-

THE DEPARTMENT OF BUILDINGS seems to
have caught the element Of corruption. Its
Superintendent, Mr.. Macgregor, was charged
In Judge Barnard's court yesterday with black
mailing and with malicously throwing OBJ
staces, such as injunctions and warrants, in
the way Of the building Of certain houses by
Judge Tappan, because the latter refused to be
blackmaled. If it can be shown that this
Official has permitted unsafe houses TO be
erected for money received as bribe, thus
endangering the lives and property Of citizens
Cor a miserable pittance, he deserves the most
severe penalty Of the Law.

Out ConnOiiy IL not Snppery enough 10 slip
out Of Office, and the people win be anxious
to learn what is to be the next step
in the municipal drama We fear
that Mayor Hall has exhausted his
resources, and will at present be powerless to
rid his administration of the Objectionable
heads of departments. We have insisted
upon his removal of certain officials in case of
their refusal to resign; but he can only
remove them through the instrumentality of
the Court of Common Pleas, and as one Of
the Judges is, we believe, at present 10
Europe a full bench could not be secured,
even If the Court were in session.
The new charter does not give the chief
executive, as it ought to give him, the abso-
lutte power of removal, and hence the city is
compelled to endure the rule of any dishonest
or incompetent head Of department. who
may be disposed to defy public sentiment
and cling to ONCE. This Objectionable
feature of the law was forced into it
by the republicans who helped to pass 1t, for
the security of their friends who were to retain
Office under the terms of the bargain. Fear
full that after the charter was passed the Mayor
would displace the republican officials and
Hl their Offices with his own politi-
cal friends, they tied his hands with
the new fashioned tenure of office
cords first manufactured at Washington. The
effect Of this sort of legislative bargaining is
now apparent. The chief magistrate of the
city, eager to rid the government of men
whose displacement is demanded by the public,
and who are unfit for Office, finds his requests
for their resignation scoffed at aud is powerless
to remove them. This, then, is the direction in
which reform Of the municipal law is really
needed. No desire to retain any set of men
in office, no dickering and bargaining on the
part Of democratic and republican legislators
aud their friends should be allowed any lon
ger to cripple the city government and to tie
up the hands of its Chief Magistrate. The
people should, with one voice, demand that
the charter shall BE- so amended as
to give the absolute power over
subordinates to the Mayor, who is
directly responsible to the electors. Instead
of throwing the municipal government again
into confusion, in order that a new set of cor
morants may obtain access to the treasury, as
the partisan journals and hungry politicians so
earnestly desire, the hands of the chief
officer should be strengthened and
more direct responsibility exacted and
secured. This should be the work of the
future. At present the question of interest is
how to rid the city of Objectionable officials
who refuse to resign. If the Mayor is power
less. and rendered so through the corrupt bar
gains made at Albany, probably proceedings
before criminal court may yet be open to the
people, and judges may be found firm enough
to require such heavy bonds from suspected
public officers as to efectually debar them, for
time at least, from discharging trusts which
the citizens are eager to snatch from their
hands.

The FRENCH TAX LEVY will not 60 down
with the National Assembly. Our cable
despatch, which we publish in another column,
says that the Budget Committee, which was
ordered to consider the bill in detail, has
reported adversely on the subject aud will
not agree to the bill authorizing levy on the
nation to meet the present demands of the
administration, subject to the subsequent
approval Of the Assembly. The Assembly
will not sanction it either.
