the last quarter of century has been ex-

HELMBOLD'S
Compound Fluid Extract
OF BUCHU.

This Preparation contains no narcotic or Injurious
drug. Nor is 1t qusck nostrum, recon-
mended for every disease; but for such
diseases as are here enumerated, viz: for Dis
eases OF the Bladder, all Diseases Of the Organs
weakness &C., whether in male or female, no
matter OF how long standing. 1t allays pain and
Inflammation, which other remedies invariably
cause, and is pleasant to the taste.
1t Is gratifying to the proprietor of these medi-
cines to be able to state that it is nearly 80
years since they were first introduced during
which time they have been extensively used in
various parts Of the United States and have given
TO patient and practitioner the highest degree OF
satisfaction in the various cases in which they
have been employed; whether in town country +,
hospital, or private practice they have invariably
given the most decided and unequivocal satisfac-
tion and produced the most salutary and benehcisl
effects. Numerous letters have been received from
some of the most distinguished Physicians in the
country, and from the Professors Of several Med
ical Colleges, all recommending in the highest
terms, the value Of these medicines, and their 81
periority over other preparations for such com
plants as the proprietor recommends.
These medicines require considerable care in
the preparation, and the employment OF different
menstrual in successive operations to take up the
extractive matters, and in consequence are most
frequently improperly made, and not unfrequently
much impaired, il not rendered totally inert by
iniudicious and unskilful management OF those
unacquaiDted with pharmaceutical preparations.
Numerous preparations OF sarsaparilla and of
Buchu, and various modes of preparing them
have been given, ali of which, of course, will differ
according to the mode of preparation which each
individual may adopt 1t lie, therefore, Of the
highest consideration and Importance to the pub
lie and to the faculty that there should be standard
preparations Of uniform strength, and possessing
the most advantage. To effect this, and obviate
the Inconvenience alluded to, have made q
number OF experiments to ascertain the most
efTectual means of extracting the virtues Of Sar-
saparilla and the Buchu, and to discover the mos
eligible form for their exhibition The expert
ments have resulted most favorably, and it is will
much pleasure now offer to The public and th'
faculty my Compound Fluid Extracts, which
contain all the virtues of the medicines, and ar,
the most active preparations of either which can b.
made.
Two tablespoonful of the Extract Of Zarsapa
rlla added to pint of water, is equal 20 the Lis
bon Diet Drink, and one bottle Is fully equal TO
gallon OF the Syrup OF Sarsaparilla, or the Decoc
ton, as usually made.

Cal. Wagner began to make a reputation
in st. Louis some years ago in the little
Fifth street opera house which has since
disappeared. He gave promise, and on
account of his various happy hits, perhaps,
was called Happy Cal. Wagner" The
name is closely descriptive of the style and
hImor of the man, and Cal. Wagner has
become a genuine artist in his line of
Ethiopianl character. He is the lead
ing comedy attraction of Cal. Wagner's

DeBar's opera house last night. The
troupe is very good one and embraces
all the popular Ethiopian features, COM
edy, song, grotesque business and legiti-
mate character acting. all set to instru-
mental music. Some of the features
besides Cal Wagner are fine. Cal Wag-
ner and Sam Price are the end men and
principal comedians. The Queen City
quartette-Reese, Howard, Hunt and
Hawkins-is a very fine vocal feature.
The Kline Brothers are attractive, and
Harry Pierson as male soprano and fe-
