A VALUABLE MEDICINE.-Buchu 10
various forms has for many years been one
Of the chief articles in the MateriG Medsca
for the treatment of certain diseases,
among which are chiefly those affecting
the urinary, digestive, and circuatory or
gaDs. The difficulty that was long ex-
perlenced in obtaining preparation of
this valuable drug that could always be
relied upon for uniformity in strength and
absolute purity led to the introduction of
Helmbold's Extract of Buchu. which for
the last quarter of a century has been ex-
tensively used both by physicians aud in
house and family practice, and with very
gratifying success. This medicine, like
every other valuable thing, has been imi.
tated, and those who have use for it will
do well to see that the obtain the genuine
"Helmbold Buchu," the only pure and
reliable preparation.

The boat race.

The boat race on Saturday evening was
witnessed by large crowd of people who
assembled on the levee from Sylvan Water
bridge to the P. & R. /. round house. The
boats started from the round house. pro-
coed TO the point of the Island, and then
returned. They started in the following
order from the shore: Barge mo Name,

On the first start, after going about sc

considerable delay, as none of the crews
had brought any extra oars with them

rha Naw silver Policy,


Stanley Matthews carries from Wash
ington the new silver policy Of the admin
istration. It will make its first appear
anee in authoritative shape in the pianks
of the Ohio Republican platform. This
policy has been pretty well anticipated this
week by the outgivings of the acting presi-
dent and Secretary Sherman. The acting
president favors the reconciliation of the
old legaltender silver dollar, and the re-
adoption of the double standard of gold and
silver. mr.. Sherman in a word, tavors
placing silver on legal-tender level with
the United States treasury notes. The
restoration of the double standard as IT
existed prior to 1873 is the comprehensive
way in which the question goes into the
Ohio platform, and is the acting president
way of putting it. Republicans in this vic,
Unity are expected to fall in on this line

HELMBOLD'S
Compound Fluid Extract
OF BUCHU.

This Preparation contains no narcotic or injurious
drug. Nor is 1t a quack 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. II allays pain and
Inflammation, which other remedies invariably
cause, and Is pleasant to the taste.
Il 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
20 patient and practitioner the highest degree Of
satisfaction in the various cases in which they
have been employed: whether in town country,
hospital, private practice, they have invariably
given the most decided and unequivocal satisiac-
ton, aud produced the most salutAry aud benehcsl
effects. Numerous letters have been received from
some OF the most distinguished Physicians in the
country, and from the Professors OF several Med =
zeal Colleges, all recommending in the highest
terms the value OF these medicines, and their su
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, II not rendered totally inert by
iniudieious and unskilful management OF those
unacquainted with pharmaceutical preparations.
Numerous preparations OF SArsqparilla and Of
Buchu, and various modes Of preparing them
have been given, all OF which, OF course, will differ
according to the mode Of preparation which each
individual may adopt. 1t is, 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 a
number Of experiments to ascertain the most
efectual means OF extracting the virtues OF Sar-
saparilla and the Buchu, and to discover the most
eligible form for their exhibition. The expert
ments have resulted most favoraby and II is with
much pleasure now offer to the public and the
faculty my Compound Fluid Extracts, which
contain all the virtues OF the medicines. aud are
the most active preparations of either which can be
made.
Two tablespoonful Of the Extract OF ZarsaPa-
rlla added to pint OF water, is equal to the Lis
bon Diet Drink, and one bottle Is fully equal to 8
gallon OF the Syrup Of Sarsaparila, or the Decoc-
tion, as usually made.
