TIIK MISSING JlltOU. Or buu ae tried Head-Centre O'tloul)ban. [COXfl-fPED FROM YESTERDAY'S PAPER.] The eloth was removed, the tumblers in troduced, and the conversation began to circulate, when Mr. Slopmiss declared to me that he must have a smoke. “You had bettor not think of it here,” said I, “for old Chouzler hates the name of tobacco.” “My dear boy," snid I, it can’t be done, if you like to wait till bedtime, perhaps by putting your head up the chimney, or by reclining from the window, you could man age it: hut, as things go it is utterly im possible.” Slopman groaned. “I’m a dead man, by being on this d—djury! I've missed my two daily smokes, and my digestion will go astray forever.” 1 felt for the poor fellow; he was evi dently miserable. A bl ight thought will Sometimes burst into blossom even in the dullest minds. I say this deferentially, as the idea emanated from mine. Along the line of windows (three being attached to the appuriment in which we were sitting) run a roomy balcony. “B.v ji*go 1” said I. “Slopmiss, you cau have your weed.” “How?—when? where? cries the vic tim of tobacco, in a very excited whisper. “On the balcony? What balcony? “The balcony outsidethe windows. You can easily pull aside the curtain, gently raise the sash, seat yourself, and smoke until you arc sick.'’ “By Jove, Browne, you've saved my life said Slopmiss. The foreman was busily discussing ihe merits of certain clarets, with an unction that attracted the attention of at least nine of the jury, when Slopmiss cautiously stole from the table, and with catlike steps reached the curtain of the nearest window and then with a dexterity of manipulation of which I did not deem him capable, gently pushed aside the drapery and dis appeared as noiselessly us a ghost. lie had not been gone more than three or four minutes when the wary constable posted at the door popped in his head to see that all was right—that the prisoners were safe. As the easiest mode of ascer taining this important fact, he counted tile individuals present. I was seated exactly opposite, having “closed up” in order to render Slopmiss’ absence as little remark able as possible. When the constable commenced his ‘•count," I saw there would be, as Dick SwivoUer would term it, “scenery.” He counted rapidly, and when he came to the end, seemed somewhat puz zled, but recommenced with more deter mination—“One, two, three, four, live, six, seven, Ae.,—his lips moving in solemn slowness. Again, a sudden convulsive stop, ne illuneu ms eyes, anu Deguii 10 reckon round the other wav: “Only eleven."’ They held a consultation, which ended by their locking the door. By this time the foreman’s attention was called to the fact of their presence, and the some what remarkable proceedings consequent thereon. “What is the meaning of this intrusion shouted Mr. Chouzler. "Begorra, Sir, we're fairly puzzled,” said the constable. “There was twelve of yez here live minutes ago siltin' fair an’ aisy round the boord, and now, may the devil fly away with me, but there’s wan of vez gone.” "impossible. Sir!" said Mr. Chouzler; you're drunk.” “Be the hole in my coat, 1 wish I had the provocation, sir: but sovra dhrop of anything stlirongcr nor wather crossed me lips this blessed night. But shure, sir, as ye doubt me word, count the skulls ver self.” Mr. Chouzler acted upon the suggestion, in which he was aided by every juror pres ent, the majority of whom insisted upon twelve, Chouzler himself corroborating the constable’s eleven. “1 beg your pardon, gintlemin.” ob served the constable, “but as one of yez is missin" the Sheriff will murdher 11s, so by your lave we'll search the premises; but if it has how yez are jokin’, av course yez can folly yer pleasure, only eay so at wanst.” Mr. Chouzler denied the possibility of a joke, and requested the constable to make a most rigorous search, admitting himself to be fairly puzzled, and comparing Ids list to ascertain the missing man. llow i anticipated the fun of Slopmiss being dis covered and ushered into the presence of the irate foreman Ten times 1 was on the point of confessing, and ten times did I funk the avowal. The constables ducked under the table, and groped for their prey among our legs. Failing to discover him there, they drew aside the window curtains, closing them carefully. Upon finding emptiness, one of them cautiously peered up the chim ney, although a thundering lire blazed in the grate while the other, in an agony ot search, lilted the lid of the coal scuttle, as if the body of Slopmiss could by any aero batic possibility tit into so small a space. Finding all these efforts produced no lruit, they held a council of war. While they were beating their brains, the geutlemen round the table were be i ginning to reel perprexcu. ‘•What the devil has become of the l'ool r growled t'houzler. saw him not two minutes ago,” ob served Mr. Frizzle “he was sitting op posite me.” “Heavens he was beside me," scream ed Mr. llobley, a nervous little gentleman with a shrill voice. “This is a d-d Fenian dodge shouted a gentleman, whose loyalty was of the most uproarious nature; “and cost me what it will, Til expose it.” The constable advanced, and the other officer who had previously acted as spokesman, came forward. “Uintleuiin, this is a mighty 411 are bis tiiss. There's larks in it, or there's wuss. Now," (there he fixed his eyes on Chouz ler,) “if this ould gent will only aise him selt of the truth, it'll save thrubblo.” “Confound you, fellow!” cried the in dignant foreman. “l>o you imagine for one moment that F know anything of this proceeding? Answer me, sir, at once!” “Troth Sir, an’thin I do,” replied the. officer, with a calmness that spoke his conviction. An irrepressible titter ran round the table. Chouzler grew purple with rage, but maintained an outward calm. “Why, Sir,” lie gulped, “do you imag ine that I could be a party to this affair?” The officer replied, without a second’s hesitation "lFeggorra thin,' Sir, bekase ye’ve a ilhroll eye, divil a doubt of it.” We roared laughing. The fact of fix ing the escapade on the wary and irate Chouzler was so mirth-provoking, that we laughed loudly and long. “I’ll not remain here to be made a laughing stock of!” he shouted, darting from his chair as lie spoke; “and allow me to say that this scandalous practical j joke shall be sifted to the very bottom— to the very bottom lie approached the door, and was about flinging it open, when the constable inter posed. “Aisy—aisy, Sir! One of yez flyin’ away is hapes, but two would be the divil entirely.” Poor old Chouzler, beaten at all points, returned to his seat, swallowing a tum blerful of water, and glared at his foe. “It’s time gintlemin,” said the second constable, “that something should be done. We must send for the sheriff, gin tlemin, if yez don't produce the gintlemin that is abide.” “Send for the sheriff at once, Sir,” shouted Chouzler, “and let him deal with this matter with the utmost rigor.” “(iintiemin, is it your wish that I should go for the sheriff'?” Omnes: “Yes.” Now, 1 had allowed things to go too far. 1 had broken down the bridge, re treat was utterly out of the question so I coincided with the rest, loudly demand ing' the Sheriff. The facetious constable remained while the other went in search of the officer of the law. “Troth, yez’ll have a quare time av it whin tlic Sheriff comes, gintlemin. I don't care tuppence for meself, for I'm only fifteen shill in’s a week, but yez are in a hobble as sure as my name is Pat Murphy. He’ll roarin’ mad, and get yez ;dl six months, as sure as there’s an eye in a goat or a bill on a crow.” The worthy man helped himself to a chair, and seated himself with his back to the door, surveying us all with a grim pleasantry that was highly diverting. “Begorra, ye might well bile up. Sir,” he continued, addressing Chouzler; “for the dickens such a man to dale with as the Sheriff ye never saw. The High Sheriff is a lamb to him, an' we all know that his 1 temper is rayther powdhery. Ouly wait till he comes, and maybe he won’t take a j grip of some ot yez.” "Silence, sir: satu Air. vnouzier. the law compels ns to endure your pres ence, it cannot force us to listen to such jargon.” "Oh, that's hapes, as Mr. Murphy ob served when lie swallowed the crab,” ob served the constable, in an offended tone. “That’s hapes. Mr. Foreman, and gin tlcmiii av the Jury. I'm dumb as a Crown witness. Hapes indeed.” At this juncture we heard loud voices on the lobby, and the door was assailed with a vigorous application of knuckles. “Who goes there demanded the con stable. “The Sub-Sheriff! Open in the name of the law," was the vesponse. The door was thrown open, and enter the Sub-Sheriff, followed by the constable and two policemen. The Sub-Sheriff locked the door, put ing the key in his pocket, took a piece of paper therefrom, and said— "Gentlemen please answer to your names,” calling us after the manner ol a Sergeant-at artnes. We answered with a remarkable prompt ness, till the unlucky Slopmiss w as called. “Mr. Slopmiss is the missing man,” said the Sub-Sheriff. "Now, gentlemen, he added “this is a very serious business, a very serious business, perhaps more so thau any of you imagine. It involves i consequences of the gravest character, llow these two tried and honest men could have permitted Mr. Slopmiss to pass them remains to he seen, and how yon, as a body of respectable gentlemen, could have contrived at it, is, to say the least of I it, most suspicious. Till the High Sheriff arrives, for whom I have sent, I will re I train from making further comments.” The timid jurors all chimed in that j they were innocent, in thought, word and deed, of any participation in the abscond I ing of their brother, while the remaining few began to consider it capital 1'ud, ana thirst for a denouement, i The Sub-Sheriff', police, constables and I specials consulted together iu mysterious I whispers.' I began to wish Slopmiss safely deposit ed in an adjoining parish, for were he to put in an appearance now (and I moment arily expected him) he would in all inno cence criminate me, and thereby bring I the wrath of the posse comilatus on my devoted head. ••mats the High Sheriff, Sir, saw one of the policemen, as a hasty knocking was heard at the -door. All eyes naturally turned in that direction. The High Sheriff who had been dining out, appeared in full I blown evening costume, and betrayed at least ouo bottle of Chateau Lafitte. “What the deuce is all this row about?” said a voice beside me. I 1 turned, and beheld Slopmiss, who had glided to his seat like a phantom, or like Air. Payne when performing the part of Philip Vanderdeckun. “Hush,” said I, in a hurried whisper; “don’t for your life pretend that I know of your being out of the room.” The Sub-Sheriff, in order to impart so lemnity to the proceeings. deliberately locked*the door, handed the key to the High Sheriff, and began as follows: “Sir, 1 will feel obliged, as a prelimin ary step in these painful proceedings, by your counting the number of gentlemen seated at that table.” The High sheriff acted in accordance with the wishes of his sub.

••Well, Sir?” asked the sub. “Twelve,” replied the chief. “Sir?" ••Twelve-” ••Will vou please to count again ..pH do it to satisfy you, Sir, but I'm positive as to the number,” replied the High Sheriff rather crustily. Again he counted and again the Sub Sbenft triumphantly asked him the result. “Twelve,” replied the High Sheriff. “No, sir,” said the sub: “only eleven.” “Dammit sir!” responded the chief; “I’ve counted 'em twice, and 1 tell you there are twelve.” •-I have counted them six times,” said the sub, “and i maintain there are but eleven “Do vou mean to tell me I cannot reck on, Sir?” asked the chief. “I mean to say we are all liable to mis takes,” replied the sub. ••Then vou are mistaken, Sir,—not I," said the chief haughtily. "I am not mistaken sir; and to prove it I’ll call the roll.” Mr. Chouzler: Here. Mr. Brown: Here. Mr. Jones: Here. Mr. Robinson Here. Mr. Thomkins: Here. Mr. Friz zle: Here. Mr. Gingerlick: Here. Mr. Bellow-lungs: Here. Mr. Bobley: Here. Mr. Lumptwistie: Here. Mr. Lambley: Here.” Here he paused, in order thathis triumph might be substantial. Mr. Slopmufs: Here!" “Where?” cried the sub. “Here,” responded Slopmiss. “Gracious providence! this is extraor dinary,” cried the sub. “Not more extraordinary than taxing me with incoiupetentey,” said the High Sheriff, warming himself into a flush ol anger. “And now-, Sir, to business, it you please.” ine suu was uuuju. u» vjv» fixed on Slopmiss. He turned to the door, tried it. remembered the High Sheriff had the key, and literally gasped. “W—wh—where have you been?" asked the sub of Slopmiss. “On the balcony, smoking a cigar,” re plied the innocent author of this series ol contretemps. He turned furiously on the unlucky con stables. "Did you search the balcony "We did not, Sir, as the windy was shut and the night cold.” "There has been some vile complicity here" said the Sub-Sheriff’. “Sir,” said Slopmiss, "allow me to say 1 went to have my smoke without consult-1 ing any one.” (Here he perjured himself.) The curtain falls here. The Sub-Sheriff is standing near the door, gazing vacant ly at Slopmiss. The High Sheriff is en gaged in mixing a tumbler of punch with Chouzler, who seems in excellent spirits. The constables are grouped in picturesque attitudes.

The progress of the Prussians towards Paris is slow compared with the early movements in the war. This moderation is dictated by the changed state of affairs occasioned by the deposition of Napoleon and the establishment of a new govern ment. The new government is not bound to maintain Napoleon's quarrel, and after the fate which has happened to hint and his armies is not very willing to do so. King William has probably had about enough of lighting and does not care to batter down Paris at the heavy expense of men, money and labor which it will cost him, and the opprobrium which will rest upon him for destroying so magnificent a city unless he can show the clearest justi fication for it. Hence both sides are think ing of peace, operations arc slow, and de lay favors a pacific settlement. It may be that Paris will stand a siege, but we think events indicate peace at no distant day, although the conditions must be difficult to arrange. POLITICAL. The letter of Wendell Phillips, accept ing the nomination of the Labor Reform Party for Governor, is sharply criticised and severely censured by some of the Prohibitionists, who accuse him of being a red republican.

An Indianapolis German had occasion re cently to bury a large wife, and so squabbled with the sexton about the fee. “Dat ish not a big grave,” said the disconsolate husband. “Not a big grave!” indignantly responded the sexton; “why, hang it, that’s a cellar.” United States Marshal Garwood, of Va. has i arrested Joseph Arundell, postmaster at Farmville Station, in that State, and brought him to Alexandria to answer the charge of perjury in this, that he voted for the ordi- j nance of secession and afterward took the iron-dad oath.

local anti *tatc 'Netos. We intend to publish a full list of all the entries for the Fair. Mr. E. E. Patterson of this city, is to give a concert in Brunswick on Monday evening. Geo. F. Clark, of China, the regular repub lican nominee for representative to the legis lature, has been elected. Johnson Brothers, on Water street, have a fresh stock of family medicines and fancy ar ticles. We regret to learn that Mr. Clement P. Gallison of the Dexter Gaxette, is danger ously ill. A paper says that the sting of a bee carries conviction with it. It makes a bee-leaver at once. Nasby's new lecture is entitled “In Search of the Man of Sin." He has taken upon him self a laborious task, but one hundred dollars a night for looking the fellow up is fair pay. President Scamman and Treasurer Morris, of the State Agricultural Society, came to the city yesterday, and will remain here until the close of the Fair. The brig building at Topsham and the ship building in the yard of the late Master George Skolfield, the Brunswick Telegraph says, will be launched about the last of this month. Colonel Horatio C. King, a Maine boy, son of Hon. Horatio King, Ex-Postmaster Gener al, is Associate editor of the New York Star, a daily journal. A Mechanic Falls coffin-maker heads his advertisement in the local paper, ‘‘Live and Let Live!” We have heard of a person in the same business speak of his articles of manu facture as “wooden overcoats.” The public will be glad to leant that Miss Woodbury, who was accidentally injured on Thursday afternoon, is nuite comfortable. Her escape from instant death will always re main a wonder. St. Paul's Commandery Knights Templar, of Dover N. 1L. have signified their intention of visiting Portland on Thursday of next week. The Argus understands that they are to be the guests of St. Albans Commandery. Government officers are at woik on what is called the narrow gate," below Bath cutting the channel deeper. A powerful blast was made Tuesday with dunlin, sending the water some three hundred feet into the air and pre senting a beautiful spectacle. Bosworth, as is usual with him, is offering great inducements to buyers of woollen goods. The cold weather is coming on apace, and a wise and judicious economy would seem to prompt all to do their trading at those places that keep up with the styles and down with the prices. The fare next Monday to Gloucester in the Star of the East, and Gloucester steamer from Boston, and return, will be 82 50 lor the round trip. Return tickets good until Oct 1st. This is for the United States Universaliat Cen tenial Convention to be held there the 20th, 21st,' and 22d. A gentleman informed the editor of the Brunswick Telegraph a few days ago, that three ships, built and owned by one party at Thomaston, in the same yard, of the same size and model, recently arrived on the same day at San Francisco. So much for coinci dences. And now for differences. One mads the voyage in 118 days, one in 123 days, and one in 134. The ships sighted each other as they were entering the Golden Gate. A correspondent furnishes us an account of the dedication of the Wesley M. E. Church in Bath, on Wednesday. A dedication hymn composed for the occasion, was sung. The sermon was by Rev, li. W. Warrer of Charles town, Mass. Text in Isaiah 5G :7. “For mine house shall be called an house of prayer to all people.” It was a sermon of rich thought anl persuasive eloquence. The house is pro nounced the handsomest and most convenient edifice of the denomination in the State. The total cost of the edifice is about 820,000. It will bo seen by reference to advertise ment in another column, that Dr. C. B. Lighthill, well known to our citizens as a scientific and accomplished oculist and aurist, is to mako a brief professional visit to this city. There are many persons in this vicin ity who need not be told that the doctor is successful in his specialties. They have been relieved or cured of chronic and dis tressing diseases, for which they have reason to be thankful for all time. The doctor needs no advertising where he has once prac ticed, and we have no doubt he will draw to his rooms a large number of the afflicted dur ing his brief stay here. Report from tie Rfkntir nfrM at Skua begun. Skowhegan, Sept. 15, 1870. Dear Jourral: The managers of this new Schutzenfest, that is. tor modern times in this vicinity, though we hare all often read and heard of the games and humorous antics here advertised to come off in this und other countries in past times, such as “Wheelbarrow Match,” “Auger Match,” "Bag Race.” Catch ing the Greased or Slippery Pig,” “Climbing the greased Pole," “Bow and Arrow Shoot ing,” “Pigeons let loose to be shot on the wing.” The thing has been a failure pecu niarily to the getters up of this novel enter tainment, they have failed to bring out the crowd expected, tlough we believe they have carried out their part as they advertised to, so far as they could with the limited patronage. Those present had a tine time, and seemed to enjoy themselves much. We think one cause of non-attendance is the manner of ad vertising it, and the hifaluten name they gave the same. “Schutzenfest," which is simply a German name for shooting match, it being such a hard name to speak or remember, that they are yet thinking of and puzzling over it, forgetting to attend the same. The gallery of paintings was well worth a visit of any one. The ball last evening at Coburn Hall, was fairly attended, and passed off very pleasant ly. The prize of a nice framed 825 oil paint ing for the best waltzer being awarded to Miss j Ella Severance, of this place, the judges de ciding that she and her partner, Mr. M. S. Bukcr of I.cwiston, were entitled to it, M. A profuse and many times excessively of fensive discharge from the nose, w ith ‘-stop ping up" of the nose at times, impairment ot the sense of smell and taste, watering or weak eyes, impaired hearing, irregular appetite, occasional nausea, pressure and pain over the eyes, nnd at times in the back of the head, oc casional chilly sensations, cold feet, and a feeling of lassitude and debility are symptoms which arc common to Catarrh, yet all of them are not present in every case. l)r.

faifg Jirnnfbfr Journal. A risir TO A CORK FACTORY. A correspondent writes to the Lew iston Journal the following account of a visit to the Farmington Corn Factory "In imagination let us start from Farm ington depot and take the road for Farm ington Hill. We follow across the bridge. At our right are some buildings; we turn aside and look first we see heaps of ears of sweet corn scattered around in front of the main building and in a long shed that looks like the horse sheds of a meeting house. This is picked from the stalks in the field and hauled in by the fanners that raise it. It is now husked and carried into the main building. Here you see fifty or sixty women and girls sitting on each side of long wooden troughs divided oft by partitions into sections about a loot long. The corn is poured into every other oneT The women shave off the raw corn and throw the cobs into the other sections of the troughs or trays, as they call them. The corn is now put into zinc tubs, each having a large piece of ice in it to keep the corn cool, for the great secret ol canning corn is to keep it fresh and cool. Here the corn is put into the cans bv a press that works on the principle of a sausage filler. A workman on one side pats in the corn and one on the other side puts a can under and bears down on the lever, thus filling the can. A woman now takes the can, puts it on the scales and weighs it. The standard weight is about a pound and a half. If they arc not quite heavy enough she pushes in a little more with a round stick which she lias in her hand. If the cans are not just so heavy, they will float on the water when they are pot Into the boiler. Before the cans were tilled a cover was soldered on to the top having a hole in the centre about an inch and a half across. The corn was forced through the opening in filling it. A work man now takes a circular piece of tin, just the diameter of the hole, puts it in and solders it. The cans are' now put into great copper boilers about five feet long and four feet deep. There they stay in the Ixiiling water for two hours. They are now taken out, a little hole is punched in the ton with an awl, the hot air and steam whistles out, and a workman comes along and puts a drop of solder on each hole. Their doom is now sealed. They are put back and boiled four hours more. Then they are taken out again and carried on to a platform to cool. When cool the cans are carried to the storS house, pol ished up bright, stamped and labeled. Each can has tne name of the manufactur er, John Winslow' Jones, on it. The corn is now canned and ready to be packed into boxes, two dozen in a box, and sent to Portland or Boston.” BATH HOTEL, By O. M. Plummer, BATH, ME.

The Kidneys nre two in number, situated at the upper part of the loin, surrounded by fat, and con sisting of three parts, viz: the Anterior, the Interi or, and the Exterior. The anterior absorbs. Interior consists of tissues or veins, which serve as a deposit for the urine and convey it to the exterior. The exterior is a con ductor also, terminating in a single tube, and called the Ureter. The ureters are connected with the bladder. The bladder is composed of various coverings or tissues, divided into parts, viz: the Upper, the Lower, the Nervotre, and the Mucous. The upper expels, the lower retains. Many have a desire to urinate Without the ability: others urinate without the ability to retain. This frequently occurs in children. To cure these affections, we must bring into ac tion the muscles, which are engaged in their vari ous functions. If they are neglected, Gravel or Dropsy may ensue. The reader must also be made aware, that who ever slight may be the attack, it is sure to affect the bodily health and mental powers, as our flesh and blood are supported from these sources. GOb’T, OK 1thRtrMATJSM.—Pain occurring in the loins is indicative of the above diseases. They oc cur in persons disposed to acid stomach and chalky concretions. Til*Gravel.—The gravel ensues from neglect or improper treatment of the kidneys. These or gans being weak, the water is not expelled from the bladder, but allowed to remain; it becomes fever ish, and sediment forms. It is from this deposit that the stone i» formed, and gravel ensues. Dropsy Is a collection of water in some parts ol the body, and bears different names, according to the parts affected, viz: when generally diffused over the body, it is called Anasarca; wneu of the abdomen, Ascites; when of the chest, Hydrotho rax. Treatment.—Helmbold’a highly concentrated compound Extract lluehu is decidedly one of the best remedies for diseases of the bladder, kidneys gravel, dropsical swellings, rheumatism, and gout) affections. Under this head we have arranged Dvsuria or difficulty and pain in passing wutor Scanty Secretion, or small and frequent discharge* of water; strangury, or stopping of water; Hcma turia, or bloody urine; Gout and Rheumatism ol the kidneys, without any change in quantity, bul increase fn color, or dark water. It was alway* highly recommended by the late Dr. Physick, in these'affections. This medicine increases the power of digestion, and excites the absorbents into healthy exercise by which the watery or calcareous depositions, and all unnatural enlargements, as well as pain and in flammation, are reduced, and it is taken by men, women, and children. Directions for use and diet accompany. Philadelphia*, Penn., Feb. 25,1867. II. T- IIklmhold, Druggist—I)kak Sir: I have l»een a sufferer for upward* of twentv years with gravel, bladder aud kidney affection*, during which i time I have used variou* medicinal preparations, and been under the treatment of the most emineut physicians, experiencing but little relief. Having seen your preparations extensively ad veitised, I consulted my family physican in regard to using vour Extract Buchu. I did tlii* because I had used aU kinds of adver tised remedies and bad found them worthless, and some quite injurious; in fact, I despaired of ever getting well, and determined to use no remedies hereafter unless I knew of the ingredients. It was this that prompted me to use your remedy. As you advertised that it was composed of buchu, cubeba and Juniper berries, it occurred to me and my phys ician as an excellent combination and with his ad vice, alter an examination of the article aud con sulting again with the druggist, I concluded to try it. I commenced to use it about eight months ago, at which time I was confined to my room. From the first bottle 1 was astonished at the ben eficial effect, and after using it three weeks was able to walk out. I felt much like writing to you a full statement of my case at the time, but thought iny improvement might only be temporary, and therefore concluded to defer, and see it it’would effect a perfect cure, knowing then it would be ol greater value to you and more satisfactory to me. 1 am now able to report that a cure is effected, after using the remedy for five months. 1 have not used any now for three months, and teel as well in ail respects as J ever did. Your Buchu being devoid of any unpleasant taste and odor, a nice tonic utid invigorator of the system, I do not mean to be without it whenever occasion may require it* use in such affectum*. M.

Allow me to call your attention to my PREPAR ATION OF COMPOUND EXTRACT BUCHU. The component parts are BUCHU, Long Leaf, CUBEBS, JUNIPER BERRIES. Mode of Preparation.—Buchu, in vacuo. Juniper Berries, by distillation, to form a flue gin. Cubebs extracted displacment with spirits ob tained from Juhiper Berries; very little sugar is used, and a small proportion of spirit. It is more palatable than any now in use. Buchu, ns prepared by Druggists, is of a dark color. It is a plant that emits its fragrance; the action of aflame destroys this (its active principle), leaving a dark and glutinous decoction. Mine is the color o! ingredients. The Buchu in my prepar ation predominates; the smallest quantity of the other ingredients are added, to prevent fermenta tion; upon inspection, it will be found not to be n Tincture, as made In Phnrmacopcea, nor is it a Syrup—and therefore can be used in cases where fever or inflammation exists. In this, you have the knowledge of the ingredients and the mode of pre paration. Hoping that you will favor it with a trial, and that upon inspection it will meet with your appro bation. With a loeling of confidence, 1 am, very respectfully, II. T. IIELMBOLD. Chemist and Druggist of ID Years’ Experience. [From the largest Manufacturing Chemist in the world.] November 4,1854. “Iain acquainted with Mr. H. T. Helmbold; he occupied the Drug Store opposite my residence, and was successful in conducting the business where others had not been equally so before him. I have been favorably impressed with his charac ter and enterprise.” WILLIAM WE1GIITMAN, Finn of Powers Weightman, Manufacturing Chemists, Ninth and Drown Streets, Philadel phia.

Wake fulness, Horror of Disease, or Forebodings of Evil; in tact, Universal Lassitude, Prostration, and ina bility to enter into the enjoyments of society. The constitution, once affected with Organic Weakness, requires the aid of Medicine to strength en and invigorate the system, which HELM BOLD’S EXTRACT BUCHU invariably does. If no treat ment is submitted- to, Consumption or insanity en sues.

Helmbold’s Fluid Extract Buchu und Improved Rose Wash will radically exterminate from the sys tem diseuses arising from habits of dissipation, at little expense, little or no change in diet, no incon venience or exposure; completely’ superseding those unpleasant and dangerous remedies, Copaivn and Mercury, In all these diseases.
