War Maps !

From the ". Y. World.
If anybody really desires to follow up
intellgeutly the history of the struggle
now begun, we advise him to buy good
German or English map of the Ottoman
Empire. stick it full of red headed pins to
represent the Turk and black headed pins
to represent the Russians, hang it up
carefully with its face to the wall in mis-
back garret-aDd read the war rcws as 1t
appears from day to day in the World
with devout attention. The chances are
five to one that the name of any place at
which an engagement occurs will never he
spelt in the cable despatch as it is spelt on
any English map. Any respectable geog-
raphy with decent atlas will enable any
ordinarily intelligent person to get good
general idea of the extent of the invaded
empire, and of the relations of its different
portions to each other and to the invading
empire. After acquiring that he may
read up" on the subject as much as mis-
leisure will allow or his inclination
prompts; and then by following in our
columns the march of events from day to
day he will probably be able to understand
what is going on quite as we'll as it is nec-
essary that he should. He certainly will
not better himself by trying to follow the
armies of the Grand Dukes Nicholas and
Michael with the tine of fork on the
breakfast table, over maps which make
Danube run up hill. put Erzeroom on the
top of Mt. Ararat, and. in a general way
resemble the Typographical engineering o.

that it was true that the defendant an
Louisa Younger had roomed together a

HELMBoLD's BUCHU. = Helmbold' S
Buchu has long been known as one of the
most valuable medicines attainable 10 GER
tain classes of diseases, such as dyspepsia,
chronic rheumatism, dropsy, cutaneous
affections, and especially affections of the
urinary organs. As dluretic, it is supe-
rior to almost any other medicine in use,
and the great care with which it is pre-
pared, the absolute purity of the prepare
ton, and the diligence used in the selection
OF the crude material, have made il known
far and wide as q reliable and effective
preparation, and one that can always be
used with safety and benefit. The great
success of Helmbold's Buchu has led to
the production of many spurious prepare
tions. which are made cheaply and placed
upon the market to be sold on the reputa-
ton acquired by Helmbold's original pre-
paration. Parties who desire really good
medicine should be careful and use Helm

mended for every disease; but for such
diseases as are here enumerated, viz: for Dis

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-
cnes 10 be able to state that it is now nearly 30
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 or country
hospital, private practice, they have invariably
given the most decided and unequivocal satisfac-
ton and produced the most salutary and benefcisl
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 gu
periority over other prepU ations for such COM
plants as the proprietor commends
These medicines req re considerable care in
the preparation, and the employment Of different
menstrual in successive operations to take up the
extrsctive matters, and in consequence are most
frequently improperly made, and not unfrequently
much impaired, If not rendered totally inert by
injudicious aud unskiliul management OF those
unacquainted with pharmaceutical preparations.
Numerous preparations of Sarssparila and O
Buchu, and various modes of preparing then
have been given, all Of which, of course will diffe
according to the mode Of preparation which eacl
individual may adopt. II is, therefore, Of tn
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 obviat
the Inconvenience alluded to, have made
number Of experiments to ascertain the mos
efectual means of extracting the virtues OF Sar
sSparilla and the Buchu, and to discover the moe
eligible form for their exhibition. The expert
ments have resulted most favorably, and it is wit
much pleasure 1 now offer to the public and tn
