HELMBoLD's BUCHU. = Helmbold' s
Buchu has long been known as one Of the
most valuable medicines attainable in GER
tain classes of diseases, such as dyspepsia,
chronic rheumatism, dropsy, cutaneous
affections, and especially affections of the
urinary organs. As diuretic. 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 10 the selection
of the crude material, have made il known
far and wide as 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
tons, which are made cheaply and placed
upon the market to be sold on the reputa.
tion acquired by Helmbold's original pre-.
paration. Parties who desire really good
medicine should be careful and use Helm

A fraudulent president with no party in

to the Republican party is by kicking

What Mr., McCrary Will DO.

The appointment of Mr.. McCrary, of
Keokuk, Iowa, as secretary of war is believed
to be not bad thing for western interests,
and the Union makes its points thusly:
The war department has much power for good or
evil over certain interests that centre here but are
OF national importance All estimates for
future expenditures have to receive his sanction
and be recommended by him to congress as the
basis OF appropriations. Secretary Belknap mani
tested very little interest in Rock Island arsenal
Gen. Benet evinced a disposition to pro-
crastinate work at this arsenal in order to begin an
arsenal somewhere in the east. Mr.. McCrary may
be counted to promote its interests to the utmost
now that he is secretary of wvr, Like good Offices
may be expected Of him in the improvement OF the
Mississippi river. A better and more active
friend could not have been selected, He may
be relied upon to advance these interests in every
legitimate manner.
We hope Mr.. McCrary may turn out
better for our interests than Belknap, whose
greatest achievement here was to make
everything on the Island point to Daven-
port. An Illinois secretary of war would
have been more satisfactory.
