The Battle-field as it in To-Day. [Concluded from yesterday's rarer.] We followed up this turnpike to where the Ludley Ford road crossed it at right angles, down which, marching southward, the flanking divisions of Hunter came, and by the white cabin of Mathews it unfolded from column to line, stretching three quar ters of a mile, and staking a fringe ot ^ivii wiicui i o iw uiv iium., xui uiciuicuuuii the contest was to carry the turnpike and re lease the divisions behind the stone bridge. By beating Evans and Bee this much was accomplished, and then the battle was transferred to the other side of the turn pike, where one long, oval hill, the prom ontory of a high plateau, stretched from the turnpike to the Ludiey road, and on this exalted cape the first armies of civil war fought what was the real battle of Bull ltun on a space of ground not above two hundred acres in area. 'Die shape of this hill is defined by two rivulets tributary to Bull ltun, that in front called Young’s Branch, which twice crosses the turnpike, once at the cross-roads and again nearer Bull Run, crossed in the latter ease by a small wooden bridge. The back side'of the hill is covered with small wild timber.! oak and pine, which leaves the summit and the slopes toward the road nearly bare. I pun the bare part the fiercest battle raged for three hours around two small common farm-houses—Ri ibinsou’s nearest Bull Hun, and Henry’s, near by the Ludiey road. The federal troops were strongest along the latter half-sunken country road, and they formed a line of battle like a carpenter’s square, while the rebels made a line like a crescent in the edge of the low woods, which half covered their battalions. The length of the line of battle was about half a mile or less, and the Confederate batter ies were massed on their own right, re spectively, Upon this small oval summit a light as desperate as any ot the war took place, fiercest around the shanty called the Henry House, confined almost to the mus ketry and artillery, and the hottest contests were for the batteries, whose horses had been quickly killed. At present the hill is marked with a tea gulleys, where the rains have washed, and by many excavated pits where the dead have been disinterred. The country for many miles hereabout is plainly revealed, the monument at Groveton on the second battlefield of Bull Run, showing distinctly, and Manassas Junction, a tine white vil lage, five miles away, is seen through a fissure in the timber. UOLSES OX THE FIELD. I ascertained these facts about the per sons who occupied the dwellings on the battle-field of the first Bull Run: the first house on the Warenton turnpike, to the light hand, after passing the stone bridge, Is occupied by Air. Donahue, who lives in the house of the widow Van Pelt. This house is a pleasant frame dwelling, sur rounded by tall and umbrageous trees, and it was the only house in sight from the stone bridge on the day of the battle. All the buildings stand, though the barn was shelled through ami through, but on this particular farm no fighting was done, yet, across it hundreds of troops retreated to reoross Bull Run. The second house to the right is that of Gus Van Pelt, in which Bob Paine now lives; this house shows marks of the fight, and tlie farm was well fought over the morning of the action. The tnird house oil the l ight of the turn pike is a very peculiar one, and no man who figured in that action can well forget it. It is a large, oblong, red limestone house, built of large blocks, and it stands nearly at the junction of Ludiey road. It is owned by Mr. Stnrbuok, who was a sutler in the federal army, aud who keeps a house of entertainment there now. This house was well riddled in the battle with i shell and ball, and was set on fire some-1 time during the day, but the neighbors, in a very neighborly manner, overcame their n ars so mi as 10 rusn in ana pm me me out. All accounts, even the most moder ate, agree that the northern troops put the highest construction on the crime of treason on the day of the battle of Hull Run, and set tire to whatever would burn. Turning to the left of the turnpike the first place beyond the stone bridge is the celebrated Jim Robinson's farm, which was one of the litres of the elliptical bat tle of the afternoon—the other centre be- tag a farm of the widow Henry, just to i the right of it a quarter of a mile. 1 walked to the widow Henry's over a □art of the Held where the most territic lighting happened, passing the spot where j the two rebel generals, Hee aud Harlow, j were struck dead. A block of marble was set up to Hoe's memory after the first hat-1 tic of Hull Run, but when Joe Johnson de- I sorted Manassas, in the spring of 18tW, j northern soldiers cracked the stones to nieces and carried off the chips for relics, j Hee was an able officer, raised by the United States, and it was he who gave the i name of "Stonewall” to Thomas Jona than Jackson, as the latter came to his j support in the actipn. ‘•There stands Jackson,” lie said, “like1 a stone wall.” As we approached the Henry House, we saw a woman, dressed iu black, pick ing flowers in the fields. She was the widow Henry, who suffered a cruel death in her own house. She was aged and an invalid, and wlieu the battle suddenly surged up to her house, her children sought safety in various places and left the old woman in bed. The full hurricane of the action burst right round the old shanty, and the unfortunate woman was ;ut all to pieces with shell, ball and bul- lets, and the bouse itself was torn to Hinders; they could scarcely recognize her body alter the fury of the tight was over. The Henry House is now replaced by a ■unuVMiNtme' dwelling painted blue, with 1 end chimney* outside, and in the yard of this dwelling stands, iu the open' sun, a small monument made of red limestoue, from the banks of the Hull Run, two miles away: the monument is about sixteen feet high, amt is cupped with a large rifled projectile, while round the corners of the base four other cones of stone and explod ed shell are raised, the whole edifice stand ing upon a mound of sod which has given way, so that it is probable the whole tiling will tumble down within a few years. A white stone says, in crudely carved letters, “Honor to the’Patriot PP&d!" Bnt round the monument are neat little wooden signs on each of the fonr sides, which tells the story of the surroundings. One says that near that spot were captured parts of Griffin’s, Riekett’s and other batteries. Another sign says that Bee, Barlow and other good officers of both sides were kill ed here. Another sign says that Stone wall Jacksonewas wounded hartlbv, and that here he got his historic appelfution. The fourth sign says that twenty-four fed eral soldiers fie beneath. The monument is leaning, from defec tive foundations, and will soon tumble down. The number of people lost in the battle of Bull Run attests, and by its equality as well, that it was a well maintained conflict. The rebel killed and wounded numbered 1,867, one-fifth of them slain. The feder al killed and wounded were 1,482, one third slain. These official figures are prob ably too low on both sides. About one thousand persons gave up the ghost on this field. The federal loss iifeall was ten cannons captured besides seventeen others abandoned, and lour thousand muskets thrown away. Nearly one-third of the men afterward prominent in both armies fought in the first battle of Bull Run as subordinate officers." JFTjALITS VEGETABLE SICILIAN HAIR 'RENEWER.

These Machine*, by their simplcity. iiiirabimy, and the great range of work they execute, have gained n reputation truly enviable. The famous success ol the Singer M axitahtb* ISG Company has stimulated many other com panies to put forth aii liieir energies and talents to produce a sewing machine that would eclipse or equal the Singer, but in every case they have sig nally tailed, as is plainly shown by the fact, that of all the travelling agents—“runners or drummers” —of other companies, none have the asMirance to claim more than an equality with the Singer, even upon any special class ol work. There are many sewing machines, now offered to the public, that have their good points, and are ot much assistance to the housewife and the industri ous seam-ires*. Parties purchasing a sew mg ma chine ot any sort, find the improvement on the old fashioned wav of sewing bv hand so great and pleasing, that thev are naturally, but erroneously, fed to believe that they have the l>ot, until the spell is broken by the introduction of the Sinyer of 1«*T0 into a neighbor’s family, which is sure, by the in creased rapidity and ease with which it does every kind of plain or fancy sewing, to awaken them to a positive, although it rnav be silent acknowledge ment. of the painful truth that there are very many varieties of work that are easily executed upon the Singer, but that they must either be content to do without, or exchange, at a heavy pecuniary sacri fice. their curved-ncedled. frail-powered, unrtiia* ble-tensioned, low-speeded or ravel-stitched ma chine for a Sinyer yew Family Machine. Various expedients are resorted to, that the pub lic eve may Ik* turned from the singer lor the pur pose of introducing inferior machine*—viz, “The Button-Hole Dodge.” “The Over-Seaming,” “The Double-Lock-Knot-Stitch“Elastic stitch,”• Twist ed Loop,” ‘Self-AdjustingTensions,”High Finish and Beautifully Ornrmented,” “Strught Needle,” “Stitch-Alike-on-bolh-Sides.” “Medal* Iroin Fairs, “Vertical Feed Bars’” “Noiseless Running,” “Si lent Feed.” and last and worst of all the low -priced —“Fainilv Shuttle Machines Many of these point* are desirable, (and the Singer excells all in each individual speciality) but the greatest use made of these special point*, is by the retail agent who parades them before the inex perienced purefeaeer with such fluent and earnest style as to entirely divert attention from the really important bearings of the case. While other inno cent local agents ignorantly represent that the ma chine sold by them i* cap able of doing every varie ty of work, equal td Ike Sinyer, and often do they thus unconsciously swindle customers who cannot affoid to squander their substance upon gilded follies and worthless rattle-traps. parties in quest of a Sew ing Machine should look about them and learn w hat machine is most exten sively u>ed in families, tailor shops, shoe factories, and carriage factories. It is an acknowlettaed fact, n eely admitted by alt sewing machine dealers, that more than two-thirds of all the clothing town in this country by b*dh sexes, whether custom made or ready made, is actually manufactured upon THE SlNGEU Sewing Machine These Mai bines are manufactured by one of the oldest, strongest, and most enterprising Compan ies* that has ever been engaged in the business in the world Throughout their Immense manufac tories, which are kept in constant operation “day and night,” none but highly skilled mechanics are employed. Newly improved machinery is em ployed’ turning out each part finished to that me chanical exactness, that every one is a perfect du plicate of the other in size, weight and tlnisli. At! new inventions are carefully examined and tested, amt if approve,!, are adopted, reiranUesa of ex peiir-e, while the many impractical humbug* that kre patented, are let! to grace some new wonder and learn the purchaser when too late, that he has “paid too dear for his whistle.” It should be re memltered that the Sniffer Mantitaetiiriiijf Com earn- lee* never made a poor Maehine— the very Hri*t twenty-odd Tear* aifo. They never liny editorial notieea, or expend funds in "log-rolling" i at Fairs to train medal- or premium*. They simply make their Machines as valuable ns money and science can perfect them—Place them i in their Sales Rooms, and leave the pub"** ,4* oBt! out their virtues in their own way. By this straight i forward course they are now manufacturing about four hundred per day, and at that rate, even, are unable to supply the demand.

1Loral antt gtatc Netos. The Rev- Mr. Cram having returned from his vacation, services will be resumed in the Unitarian church to-morrow, (Sunday.) in Bakei Appier, A gentleman in this city says that he has lately noticed apples in his garden and orchard, that have been actually baked, on the south side, by the red hot ray* of the sun. He never witnessed the like before. A Weather Item. A pretty sizeable thunder-shower visited this region Thursdry evening, which, after the moderate rain of Thursday, went far toward saturating the ground with the needed amount of moisture. Yesterday morning the sun emerged from the clouds, and nature smiled all day. Grasshoppers. A friend in this city, who was in Franklin county last week, says he noticed the grass hoppers there were very numerous and des tructive. By day they devour the leaves of corn, potatoes, beans 4c., and at nightfall they cover the walls of buildings and fences. We have noticed none of these pests here abouts, goiter Cora. Some people choose to give their fodder corn to their cattle whilst the plants areyoung and before the stalks become hard. This is not the best practice. When the corn stalk* are spindled, they contain the full amount of saccharine or nutritive matter, that i» reardy to pass into the car and make the corn. If harvested at that time and cut up into small pieces the cattle will eat the stocks as greedi ly as the leaves, and thus derive the largest amount of support from the fodder. Farmers’ Coaveatlsa. We learn that a public session of the Maine Board of Agriculture will be held in Mayo's Ilall, in the village of Foxcroft and Dover, Aug. 31st and 30th, Sept. 1st, beginning on Tues day at 10 A. M. The opening exercises will be an Address of Welcome, by Calvin Cham berlain, Esq., of Foxcroft, which will be fol lowed by the delivery of lectures and address es and the reading of papers prepared for the occasion; also by discussions, open to all, upon the various subjects presented, in which the leading farmers of the State are expected to engage. Invitations have been extended fb distinguished cultivators in other States to be present, and aid in its success. Arrangements have been made by which free return tickets may be issued to those attending the Conven tion, who pay full fare in going over the prin cipal railroads in the State. The Messrs. Mllllkea at Hallowell. The Farmer says Messrs. C- 4 E. Milliken of this city, have made a purchase of land embracing the old Shepard’s and Steamboat Wharves in Hallowell, for the purpose of erecting steam-mills thereon for the manufac ture of lumber. Their purchase is admirably adapted to the business, giving them a water front of more than a thousand feet, where vessels can lie at any stage of water in the river, and load from the mills. Having bought the large floating planing mill at Bath, they had it brought to Hallowell, lifted upon Steamboat Wharf, and fitted up as the foundation for a mill, which is now in process of completion, and will in a few days be ready for use. The building is 32x92 feet, and is to contain cir cular. planer and clapboard, lath anil shingle machines to be driven by an engine of 75 horse power. An engine and boiler house has also been erected in connection with the mill. Everything done by them is of a sub stantial and permanent character. When the mill upon which they are now engaged is com pleted and in running order, it is understood that they intend the erection of a large steam mill, with an engine of one hundred horse power, fitted with the various machinery necessary for every kind of work, and capa ble of cutting 50,000 feet of lumber per day. The encouragement given to this enterprise by the citizens of Hallowell, amounting to #5000, will be rewarded by a large and im portant accession to the business industry of that city. laiproTlig the fhaaael of the Krazthrr. Not far from the sum of #15,000 remains to be used toward further improving the chan nel of the Kennebce in this vicinity. The contractor has been engaged in this work for three seasons, and has just entered upon the fourth. In 1867, operations were begun with one excavator; the two following seasons two excavators were employed; this season but one will work, and will hardly finish the job. It is stated in Mr. North’s forthcoming His tory, that the attention of the citizens of Au gusta was early called to improving the chan nel of the river between this city and Shepard's wharf in Hallowell. The first eflort was made by Col. William Howard and others, in 1800, who applied to the Massachusetts legis lature for an act of incorporation. This was defeated, it it said by the town of Hallowell in it* corporate capacity, but upon what ground is not now known. Nothing more w»« attempted until 1825, and a survey was made by Col. Abort in 1826. In 1837, Senator Evans was instrumental in procuring an elab orate surrey of the river’s bed, “to ascertain the practicability and probable cost of improv ing the channel across several shoals or bars that occur between Augusta aud Lovejoy’s narrows." The survey was made by S. A. Barton, civil engineer, under the direction of Col. S. II. Long, of the bureau of topograph ical engineers. The survey showed that 46, 400 cubic yards of excavation would be re quired, at an estimated cost of $10,000. This sum was appropriated by Congress, but was intercepted by a presidential veto, ^he citi zens finally, becoming discouraged in the matter of procuring aid from the government for the prosecution of the enterprise, held a meeting Dec. 28th, 1844, and appointed a committee of twenty to take the matter into consideration. The committee subsequently reported the feasibility of the enterprise, and the legislature, on petition, granted an act authorizing the city to raise by tax the sum of $10,000 for the purpose. This act was ac cepted by the people by a vote of 662 for ac ceptance to 54 against. In June 1844 a con tract was made with George Randall and John C. Haskell of New Bedford, who prosecuted the work during the seasons of 1846 and 1847. This improvement greatly facilitated the nav igation of the river. Twenty years later, in 1866, Congress appropriated $50,000 for the completion of the channel, and has since made another smaller appropriation. Mr. A. R. Wright of New York State, is the contractor who is now carrying the work forward, under the supervision of Gen. Thom, who caused a survey to be made in 1805. .This enterprise is of vast importance to our city. The Court. Having but one jury, considerable time wr s lost yesterday by the time consumed by them in coming to an agreement in the first case submitted to them, State vs. William H. Reeves, brought up by appeal from the muni cipal court. This was a complaint by the street commissioner on the east side, for putting obstructions in the south Belfast road near the easterly line of the city. The de fendant was defended by Mr. I’illsbury and was acquitted. The case of State vs. Mark Tibbetts of Gardiner, an indictment for an assault upon one of the city constables while in the dis charge of his duty as an officer, was then commenced and was on trial at the ad journment. Aa rupleasautueas. The Belfast Age says two neighbors in Searsport, named Morrow and Peabody had a slight “unpleasantness,” caused by Mor row's hens getting into Peabody’s grain. Peabody threatened to shoot them and Mor row threatened to shoot him if he did so. Both were as good as their words, for Peabody shot the hens and Morrow, who was on hand watching, shot at Peabody lodging some shot in his head wounding him slightly and placing him in a dangerous position. The upshot of the matter was that Peabody was some hurt and a great deal frightened, and Morrow was arrested, examined before a justice and bound over in $800 bonds to appear at the next tvrm of court.

MORE ABOUT THE BATTLE AT WEISSENBURO. A Hard Fought Battle. A Brilliant Victory for the Prussians— The French Defeated and Demor alized—Uen. Douay Killed. 800 PRISONERS TAKEN BY TIIE PRUSSIANS. The FRENCH CLAIM TO HAVE TAKEN SAAR BRL’CK AFTER A GREAT BATTLE. A Schooner Captured by a French Man of War. Berlin, Aug. 5. Official despatches respecting the battle at Weissenburg state that the victory was a de cisive one for the Prussians. The French forces under the command of Gen. Douay were driven from the heights after a stubborn resistance. Gen. Douay was killed. After his death the French troops became demoral ized and fled before the Prussians, who cap tured five hundred and fifty prisoners and one piece of artillery. The official Prussian Bulletin says—“The struggle between the Prussian and French armies to-day was a sanguinary and hard fought battle. The conflict was waged upon eitner side with unparalled obstinacy, but the French army was finally obliged to yield, and dispersed, leaving their camp behind. The Prussian army is now operating in the Valley of Moselle, with head-quarters at Treves, 57 miles south-west of Coblentz, and is in a men acing attitude towards Thionville, the head quarters of the French arinv. A general Prussian advance across the frontier has com menced.” The Prussian victory at Weissenburg to day is confirmed. The number of killed and wounded has not yet been ascertained. Paris, Aug. 5. 12:15 A. M.—It is reported, but not offi cially, that the French have taken Saarbruck after a great battle. There is much excitement and details are anxiously awaited. The French Gen. Burgine made a recon noissance on the 3d inst., between Saar-1 brack and Soarlouis to observe the move ments of the Prussians. They were not found in any force in that neighborhood. London, Aug. 5. The victory of the Crown Prince, in cap turing Weissenburg and Gershill, was brill iant, but bloody. The French were repulsed and dispersed, leaving behind them Gen. Douay, who was killed, and five hundred prisoners. The London Times says that the plan of the Prussian commander-in-chief. General Moltkc, has been recently changed from a defensive to an offensive one. and an advance into France is threatened. The fight at Saarbrucken on Saturday last ed six hours, and on both sides 600 men were placed hors du combat. Judging from French accounts the mitrail leurs have already decided the war. The story which recently originated in France about a naval engagement of Cuxha ven, in which a Prussian war vessel was sunk, is false. There has been no collision at sea between France and Prussia. Thus far the French say that the Prussian needle-gun recoils so badly that marksmen are soon compelled to fire from the shoulder. The French say that the Prussian cavalry carry the old horse pistols, while the French have carbines of long range, and admitting of aim. The 5th corps of the Prussians are mainly composed ol Poles. It is said that a cavairy skirmish occurred yesterday near Lonterburg, in which 25 French defeated 150 Prussians. A correspondent endowed by the Times as trustworthy and neutral, gives the following interesting details of the battle of Saarbruck en The French made some prisoners but cap tured no cannon. They lost 40 killed and 60 wounded. The French force in the battle is estimated at 30,000 men, and the Prus elans ai only o,wv. i lie aruuery wuu me fight. There was little infantry and no! cavalry engaged. It was the 5Dth Prussian regiment, and not the 50th as before re ported, which was engaged in this battle. Three companies of the 4th regiment held their ground against the French until the latter's force fully developed its strength. The small force of Prussians then retired. An English fleet, including several iron clads has sailed for Gibralter. A despatch from Antwerp represents that the fatal effect of the war on commerce is severely felt there. Money is extremely scarce and business is at a stand still. It is understood that England has deter mined to make the invasion of Belgium a casus belli. The King of Belgium will sum mon the powers who have guaranteed her neutrality to her assistance as soon as her territory is invaded, and England will re spond. The strenuous efforts made by the Court of Home to bring the influence of the Empress Eugenic to bear effectively against the with drawal of French troops have failed, and to day the last detachment leaves Civita Neachi. The negotiations at Florence for the pres ervation of the neutrality of the pontificial territory have proved successful. It is reported that England will send two frigates to the Tiber to protect the Pope. Advices from Borne state that the Jeusites are endeavoring to induce the Pope to remove to Malta. A collision between the German and French soldiers in the Papal service is of constant occurrence, and the war news is narrowly watched. F»*!fKro*T, Aug. 5, M. A train has just arrived bringing 600 French prisoners from Wcissenburg. They will be scut to Northern Prussia. The total number of prisoners taken by the Prussians in the fight was eight hundred, including eighteen officers. Brest,, Aug. 6. The North German three-masted schooner Laura was captured by a French Man of War and brought to this port to-day. FROM WASHINGTON. Washiwotok, Aug. 5. The government having been officially in formed Wednesday of the existence of war between France and Prussia, the President will probably issne a proclamation of neutral ity within a week or ten days. FROM NEW TORE. New York, Aug. 5. The Nathan Murder. A report is current this evening that four men were arrested to-day, on suspicion of complicity in the Nathan murder. Judge Bedford in dismissing the grand jury to-day, said that he had every reason to hope that the guilty person would be brought to justice in a few days, and requested the jurors to hold themselves in readiness to answer any summons from the court. The rewards now offered by the city authorities and family, now amount to $40,000. Mr. Harmon Nathan, son of the deceased, to-day sent to the stock exchange a letter, ac knowledging the sympathy and respect em bodied in the resolution ol that body. Yacht Race. The Cambria, America, and Fleet Wing arc ofT Staten Island ready for Monday's race. The Vesta which participated in the ocean race of 18C6, entered to-day. It is doubtful if tlie Dauntless competes, as she is not yet fully refitted after her recent voyage. Heavy Robbery. The cottage of llclmbold, the New York druggist, was robbed last night of $18,000 worth of diamonds, and a guest at one of the hotels met a similar loss of several thousand dollars. It is asserted that if England takes sides with Prussia, France has agreed to send an invading force of 50,000 men with arms and munitions of war to Ireland. FROM BANGOR. Bangor, Aug. 5. Damage by Lightning. A succession of terrific thunder showers passed over this city nnd vicinity yesterday, doing considerable damage to property but injuring no person. In the town of Hudson a barn was struck and with its contents totally destroyed. In l’almyria a house was struck and the fluid passed down through into the cellar, badly damaging the house and furni ture. Three houses were struck in this city with but slight damage. In one house the children had become frightened and left their room to sleep with their parents, when the fluid entered the just vacated apartment, de molishing everything in it. In another house a lady was stunned, but soon recov ered. For two hours in the evening the lightning was almost incessant, and the thun der bolts passed into the ground in many places without doing damage. A very large amount of rain fell during the day and even ing. Attempted Suicide. An inmate of the lockup, attempted to commit suicide to-night, by hanging, using his lining coat for a cod, but was cut down in season to save his life. FROM BOSTON. Boston, Aug. 5. Suicide. Granville Mears, formerly a highly respect ed citizen, hung himself this morning at the Lunatic Asylum, where he has been for some time. Sad Accident. About five o'clock this afternoon, a large brick and wooden structure, corner of Han over and Battery Sts., fell in, causing the death of a laborer employed on the building, named Thomas Burke, and injuring several others slightly. The building fell across tho street, knocking out the fronts of buildings on the opposite side. FROM RALEIGH, N. C. Kaleigii, N. C., Aug. 5. The Conservatives have carried the Legis lature.

II elm Hold—I>eak Sir: In regard to the question asked me ns to iny opinion about Bu 1 elm. I would say I have used and sold the article in various forms for the past thirty years. I do not think there is any form or preparation of it I have not used, or known to be used, in the various diseases Where each medicate agent would be Indicated. You are aware, as well as myself, that it has been i extensively employed in the various diseases of the bladder and kidneys, and the reputation it has ac I quired, in my judgment, is warranted by the facts. I have seen and used, as belorestated, every form of Burhu—the powdered leaves, tincture, fluid ex 1 tracts—and I am not congnizant of am preparation of that .plant at all equal to yours. Twelve years’ experience ought, I think, to give me the right to judge of its merits; and, without prejudice or par i tiality. I give yours precedence over all others, j 1 value your Bucliu for its effects on patients. I have cured with it, and seen cured with it, more j diseases of the bladder and kidneys than I have I ever seen cured with any other Bucnu or any other proprietary compound of whatever name, lie spec t I fully yours, Ac.

Helmhold, Druggist—Dear Sir: I have liecn a sufferer for upwards of twenty years with gravel, bladder and kidney affections, during which time I have used various medicinal preparations, and been under the treatment of the most eminent physicians, experiencing but little relief. flaring seen your preparations extensively ad vertised, I con-ulted my family physical! in regard to using your Eqtract Buehu. I did this because I had used all kinds of adver tised remedies ami had found them worthless, and some quite injurious; in fact, I despaired of ever fretting well, and determined to use no remedies lereaRer unless 1 knew of the ingredients. It was this that prompted me to use your remedy. As you advertised that it w as composed of buehu. cubebs and juniper berries, it occurred to me and my phvs ician as an excellent combination; and with his ad vice. after an examination of the article and con sulting again with the druggist, I concluded to try it. I commenced to use it irtxmt eight months ago, at which time I vas confined to my room. From the first bottle 1 was a.-tonis-hed at the ben- j ofleial effect, and after using it three weeks w as j able to w alk out. 1 felt much lik%» writing to you a lull statement of my case at the time, but thought I my improvement might only be temporary, ami j therefore concluded to defer, and see H it would I effect a perfect cure, knowing that it w onbl be of j greater value to you and more satisfactory to me. 1 am now able to report that a cure is* effected, alter using the remedy for five months. 1 have not used any now for three months, and leel as well in all respects as I ever did.
