THAT CORNs, BUNIoNs, Troublesome Nails,
Vascular Excrescences, Chilblsins, and other
ailments of the feet deteriorate and destroy
health, and thereby promote irritability OF
temper, shorten life and interfere with its du-
ties and pleasures, is probably as much or a
uueism as that the establishment of DIR. White,
No. d35 18th street, opposite the L. s. Treasury

tltic princisles) is literally patronised by the

HoTTBNToTs GATHERING BUCHU for Helm
bold's Extract has become almost a historical
picture. The great consumption of DR.. Helm
6oid's Buoha attests the important fact that
thousands upon thousands need diuretic medi-
ellie. For Dropsy, Gravel, Kidney Complaint,
and all diseases of the urinary organs, either in
male or female, there has never been a remedy
equal to Helmbolds Buchu. Its imitators are
mere trash. Helmbold's is the old reliable
standard remedy. For sale by all druggists. eos
