Major McCafferty, of Worcester, be-

A yalunble Medicine.

Buchu in various forms has for many
years been one of the chief articles in the
Materia Medica for the treatment Of GER
tain diseases, among which are chiefly
those affecting the urinary, digestive and
circulatory organs, The difficulty that
was long experienced in obtaining a pre-
paration 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 extensively used both
by physicians and in house and family
practice, and with very gratifying success
This medicine, like every other valuable
thing, has been extensively initiated, and
those who have use for it will do well tc
see that they obtain the genuine "Helm.
bold Buchu,' the only pure and reliable
preparation.

trail railroad. The cotton States are
entirely cut off from the benefits Of
this combination. We are to
bewedged in by one of the most gigantic
monopolies of the age, unless, indeed,
Jay Gould or some other capitalist in
terested in a different direction comes
to our aid. Memphis has one or two
chances yet, though railroad compli-
cations are hard to understand except
by the initiated, and even these are
often mistaken. As times get
better it may be possible
to build road from Devalls Bluff to
Jefferson or Marshall, or even to
Longview, Texas, and there connect
with the Great Northern and Inter
national road, which reaches Austin
and will eventually be extended to
San Antonio. There is also a proba-
bility that road will be built from
Fort Smith to connect with the Atchi-
son, Topeka and Santa Fe road, which
would become a grand trunk line, and
force an outlet to tho gulf at Bruins
wick or some other point. Memphis
would then speedily become a rival of
St. Louis and the great grain and meat
distributing point Of the South.

Sanitation,

DR.. Billings, Vice President of the
National Board of Health and chair
man of the commission sent here to
investigate the sanitary condition of
Memphis, submitted long report this
forenoon to the committee of fifteen at
the Peabody parlors It is a strong
document, and one that every man,
woman and child in Memphis should
read, for it will go to the world as an
authoritative and incontrovertible re-
port upon the state of affairs in our
midst We will be judged by this
report, and 1t is no doubt in the
main correct. The report gives a
deplorable account Of our sanitary
condition. 1t recommends the de-
struction by FIRE or otherwise of many
houses, and some of these are not
shanties, either. Vouchers Of inspec-
ton are filed with the report giving
the names and numbers ofspch places,
so that those who doubt may go and
see One OF these houses, we under
stand, is the old library building or
postofice, on the corner Of Third and
Jefferson streets. Recommendations
are made for flushing the bayou and
for seYering the city. Col. Warnings S
plan is endorsed. 1t looks to the use
of yitrifed earthenware pipes of from
G to 20 inches in diameter, 1t is esti-
mated that 100 miles of pipe will be
necessary and that it can be laid for
$225,OOO. The report further states
that most Of the cisterns contain inn
pure water, and that Wolf river water
! is impure as high as the water works
except 10 10y Bater Rut that at a
certain distance above the city 1t Is
