The Vacant Office of Coroner.

During the illness of sthe late Coroner
Vermillion he appointed Justice Henry
Hayden to act as coroner in his place, in
holding inquests, and attending to any
other business necessary in connection
with the office. Justice Hayden has held
several inquests, and, we believe, has
given entire satisfaction to the penyle,
in regard to the manner in which they
were investigated, and the general result
of the cases.
The law provides that when a vacancy
shall occur in the Office of coroner
within one year before the expira-
ton of the term of such vacant Office, the
vacancy shall be filed by appointment by
the county board of the county in which
the vacancy exists; but if such unexpired
shall issue an order appointing a
Gay for an election TO fill such vacancy,
and cause notice thereofto be given as in
other cases of election"
In the present case, the unexpired term
exceeds one year before the expiration Of
the term of Office for which Mr.. Yer
million was elected; but we would suggest
to the county clerk, as the law does moi
specify when or how soon notice shall be
given of an election to fill the vacancy
that when he issues the order for thu
new election that he designates the 6tf
Of November-the day Of the regular fal
election for county judge and county
clerk. This would, we believe, be entirel!
satisfactory to the people OF the county, a
it would obviate the necessity of going t
the expense of holding new election
In the meantime, it would be only an ac
of courtesy to the wishes of the lat
coroner, to allow Justice Hayden to act il
that capacity until one is properly electe,
and qualities.

A VALUABLE MEDICINE.-Buchu In
various forms has for many years been one
of the chief articles in the Mdte1aa Medica
for the treatment of certain diseases,
among which are chiefly those affecting
the urinary, digestive, and circulatory or
eaus. The difficulty that was long ex-
perenced 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 o century has been ex-
tensively used both by physicians and 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 we'll to see that the obtain the 0ea,ciaae
''Helmbold Buchu," the only pure and
reliable preparation.

HELMBOLD'S
Compound Fluid Extract
OF BUCHU.

This Preparation contains no narcotic or injurious
drug. Nor is It 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. 1t allays pain and
Inflammation, which other remedies invariably
cause, and b pleasant to the taste.
1t is gratifying to the proprietor Of these medi-
cnes to be able to state that 1t is now nearly so
years since they were first introduced; during
which time they have been extensively used in
various parts OF the United States, and have given
10 patient and practitioner the highest degree OF
satisfaction In the various cases In which they
have been employed: whether in town or country,
hospital, or private practice they have invariably
given the most decided and unequivocal satisfac-
ton, and produced the most salutary and benefcSl
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 su
perority over other preparations for such COM
plants as the proprietor recommends.
These medicines require considerable care in
the preparation, and the employment Of different
meubLruh III successive OptFhtlouF 10 take up tue
eKtractive matters, and In consequence are most
frequently improperly made, and not unfrequently
much impaired, II not rendered totally inert by
iniudicious and unskilful management OF those
unacquainted with pharmaceutical preparations.
Numerous preparations Of sarssparills and of
Buohu, 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 obviatt
the Inconvenience alluded to, have made Q
number OF experiments to ascertain the mos
effectual means OF extracting the virtues OF Sar-
sgparilla and the Buchu, and to discover ode must
eligible form for their exhibition. The expert
ments have resulted favorably, and IT is with
much pleasure now offer 10 the public and the
faculty my Compound Fluid Extracts, which
contain all the virtues of the medicines and are
the most active preparations of either which can be
made.
Two tablespoonful Of the Extract Of Znrsapa-
rla added to pint OF water, is equal to the Lis
bon Diet Drink, and one bottle Is fully equal to
gallon OF the Syrup OF sarsaparila, or the Decoc-
ton, as usually made.
