TRUE WORTH TESTED By TIME

The Continued Popularity Of the Helm
bold Specialties--The Value Of the
Genuine Preparations of Buchu and
Sarsaparilla.
Time, which is sure sooner or later to
expose the truth about the vile connections
which are so common in these days, seems
no less certain to establish the value of
really excellent medicinal compounds.
One of the most striking examples of this
latter fact is the great success which has
steadily attended the sale of the we'll
known and valuable medicines introduced
in America by Mr.. II. T. HeImbold. The
standard preparations Of buchu and sarsa-
parilla have been before the public for the
past thirty years. The genuine Helmbold
concentrated compound fluid extract of bG-
chu has long been popular among medical
practitioners as we'll as among people gen
orally. 1t has been initiated by scores of
persons who have attempted to reap the
advantage OF Mr. Helmbold's reputation;
but the public have come to recognize the
need of careful examination. so that the
genuine article may be secured, Within
the past fifteen years the management of
the sale of H. t. Helmbold's specialties
has been able conducted by his brother,
Mr. Albert l.. Helmbod, the well-known
Philadelphia pharmacist The original
owner of the famous preparations has
transferred his entire interests, right and
property to Mr.. Albert Helmbold. whose
enterprisiug management gives assurance
of continued success. For the past FIVE
years. these specialties have been sold
EXCLUSIVELY ON THEIR MERITS,
and have met with great deal of popular
rity everywhere. Unprincipled dealers
have endeavored to palm off various imi-
tations of the genuine Helmbold goods up
on the public, in the hope that their inferi.
or 'Buchus' and 'Sarsaparlllas" may find
success on account of Mr.. Helmbold's ex-
cellent preparations. A little care in
examining names and labels, with a proper
course of action towards those who attempt
to sell inferior goods under false represen-
tations, will prevent any deception in the
matter The Helmbold buchu is manu-
| featured exactly as it was a dozen years
ago, from the formula of one of the most
distinguished of Philadelphia physicians.
1t is a carefully adjusted compound Of the
pure fluid extracts of buchu, cubebs and
Juniper berries; and physicians are ready
to concede its eminent virtues as diure-
tic Of the valuable medical properties of
buchu, even the tyro in the healing art Is
tolerably familiar, as they are plainly and
fully set forth in the standard dispensatory
publications. In complaints of the urinary
organs it is perhaps of peculiar value. 1t
value in dyspepsia, chronic rheumatism
and cutaneous affections is generally recog
nized. By the judicious com animation o
cubebs and juniper berries in Helmbo1d'
standard preparation, the good effect O
the buchu is greatly enhanced. The othe
, preparations of the famous chemist havt
! obtained celebrity only second to that o
r the world famous preparations of buchu
Elelmbold's genuine extract of sarsaparill
is one of the very best blood purifiers know
to the medical profession. The improved
Rose Wash is so favorable known to tn
ladies that no words of commentator ar
: needed at this time. The HelmboId Gaia
VIDA grape'pills are also deservedly popular
: They are free from the violent effects which
: follow the use OF the crude compound
. imade by the ignorant charlatans who's
' wares are SO plenty, and their excellen
y qualities are universally conceded. 0
all of these preparations, especially the bu
chu, extensive counterfelts have been made
as has before been said, Let no attemp
: to divert attention to other preparations
T whether their own or connections of othe
! parties, persuade you into buying any
$ thing but the standard Helmbold prepare

years; and were never ranked higher in ia
, yor than now. H. T, Helmbold's prepare
