Mr. Ilenry Briggs, the head of the firm, was a successful coal master, and owned large pits in the Yorkshire district. He was a resolute, upright Yorkshireman, kind and generous to all about him, but above all things determined and unflinch ing whenever he believed himself in the right. Such a man was sure to be in de mand as a leader, and accordingly Henry Briggs had been for years the Chairman of the Masters’ Association of Coal Owners in his own district. This Association had been uniformly successful in its contests with the coal workers, and so bitter was the feeling among these that “the coal owners arc devils and Briggs is the chief of the devils" had passed into a proverb. In 1816 and the beginning of I860 things had come to such a pass that the Methwood and other collieries were standing still often for weeks together, and when in work had to be protected by a large body of police. Mr. Briggs at last gotthorough ly sick of living in a constant state of war with his poorer neighbors. The collieries were returning scarcely 5 per cent on capi tal. He proposed to his sons to sell the mines, and invest their money in some other way which wouid bring them at least as large a return, and peace. Fortunately as I believe, for England, his sous had been attracted by the theories of co-opera tors, and proposed to their father to try what effect giving the work-people a share in profits under the new act would have on the business. Things could scarce ly be worse, and persons who had been studying and preaching on the subject for years declared that they would be better. Nlr. Briggs consented, and the first indus rial partnership was accordingly formed it the Whitwood collieries. The manner >f its formation wasas follows The stock, plant, and other property were valued, nothing being set down for the good will jf the business. The valuation amounted :o something over £80,UK). This sum was divided into shares of £10 each, inorderto place them within reach of any prudent workman. The first charge on all the earnings of the collieries, after payment >f the current rate of wages of the district to the work-people, was a payment of 10 per cent on the capital, that being the rate which, according to the best authorities, money invested in coal mines in England aught to bear. All surplus earnings, if iny were made, were to be divided equal y, half being paid as additional interest >11 capital, the other half being divided unong the work-people as a bonus, in proportion to the amount earned by each of diem during the year. The articles of this Industrial Society were duly registered. Fhe Messrs. Briggs kept the large part of Lhe shares in their own hands, and the rest were sold to friends of the movement, and to the work-people, arrangements be ing made by means of share-clubs to en able the latter to pay up their shares by small weekly installments. Joy over the First Profits. So great was the suspicion among the men that,although the matter was thorough ly talked over with them and explained, scarcely any of them would take a share. Messrs.Briggs, for the sake of convenience made it a condition of sharing in what ever bonus might be earned, that each workman should take out a penny book, in which the amount earned by him (and upon which therefore, bonus would be payable) should he entered by the proper clerk at the end of each week. Only about one-tenth of the 900 work-people employed took the trouble to take out this book. However, the leaders of the men were determined to give the scheme a fair trial, and accordingly, though there were many threatenings, no strike took place during the first year. At the end of that time it was found that, after putting aside a reserve fund of several thousand pounds something more than l.'S per cent had been made on the whole capital, and there was accordingly a sum of more than £1,000 to be divided among the holders of books as a bonus on their earnings. Tlius in the first year the profits ot the mines had more than doubled. I went down to the meet ing in the great room at the collieries where this announcement was made of the result of the first year's working, and I shall not easily forget the scene at the great tea-party—the hearty speeches predicting the good time coming; the importance and delight of hard-handed fellows carrying in their pockets more coin than they had ever seen before at one time; the blank looks and good resolutions of those who had neglected to take out books. They all took out books next morning, and I came away with a very firm faith in the future of the first industrial partnership of Briggs it Co., limited. That confidence was well grounded. From that day to this the suc cess has gone on increasing. A largo pro portion of the work-people now own shares. One of their number has been elected on the Board of Directors. The dividends have never fallen, and have in some years advanced largely. The econo my in'material, such as timber, oil, and rags, has been sufficient of itself to pay a dividend on the whole capital of (I be lieve) more than one per cent. Above all while there have been many disputes and stoppage of works in the district, the Methwood Colleries have never lost a day, and the feeling between the Messrs. Briggs and their work people is as cordial as the strongest philanthropist could desire. niiAi uASjir.t.’iLtAKAf.uui r.ArtKiLJttr., Xow I do not mean to say that there are many other industrial partnerships so suc cessful as Messrs. Briggs Co., nor do I mean to deny that the working of coal mines is scarcely a fair test of the proba ble success of the new system in trades where much less labor is employed in pro duction. One or two industrial partner ships have broken down in the bad years which followed 1806 in England. But on the whole there has been quite sufficient success to encourage many employers to try the system, and I am happy to say that payment of work-people by a share of profits in one form or another is becoming quite common. I hope it may supersede the old system altogether before long, as it is only in this way that peace can be thoroughly and finally established between capital and labor. i nave now given you very imperfectly, but, I believe, faithfully, as far as it goes, an account of the great industrial move ment in England. I am not sanguine enough to hope that all our troubles are over; but I do believe that all serious danger for us is past, and that if we lose the lead, which according to the latest re turns we still hold among the producing nations of the world, it will be because we are fairly beaten in invention or applied skill, or in that dogged persistence in work which has hitherto done so mucn for us, and not because our employers and work-people are afiy longer engaged in the time-honored and world-old pastime of cutting each others’ throats. Is it as well with you here, my friends? Have you nothing to learn from the old country in this matter Well, it is exceedingly diffi cult for a stranger coming among you for a few months to judge, but, unless I am much mistaken, 1 see the threatenings of trouble for you over this labor question. Labor and capital in the New World seem inclined to ignore or despise all the les sons of the Old, and to fall together by the ears instead of marching together hand in hand toward the grandest work the earth can offer just now, the subduing and de velopemeut of this vast and magnificent continent of yours. I have no right to offer counsel to either side, and may pos sibly be even regarded with suspicion by employers of labor over here as I have been till lately by those of England. But as 1 have helped the workingmen at home to tight their battle, and have had the hap piness of earning their confidence, I trust their brethren here will take the few words I have to say to them in good part, and as those, at any rate of a friend. Is it then the fact that you, the workingmen of the United States, are running simply on the old track, and are furbishing up the old weapons of trades unionism which have so often run into the hands of those who wielded them Are you really try ing, by your organizations, to control the 1'ree-will of those of your own body who are not Unionists, to put restrictions and limitations on the hours of labor, the ad mission of apprentices, the use of machin ery, the rate of wages, to carry out your ideas of the old method of strikes These things may have been done often enough in England. If not wise even there, at least they had a justification which here is wholly wanting. Where the labor mar ket is overstocked, and there are often Lwo men waiting for one man’s place, I can understand, and have often sympa thized with and defended rules and prac tices intended to spread work evenly, and inquiring self-sacrifice from the ablest workmen that all of fair capacity might earn a livelihood. DIFFERENT POSITION OF WORKINGMEN HERE. Where all the natural wealth of the country (if I may use the phrase) is already monopolized, where land, mines, waters—all the raw material out of which wealth is created—are in private hands, and there is the keenest competition for the use of them, as there is with us, one must not be too critical as to the methods by which the great body of producers have endeavored to secure their share of the products of industry. But here you have well-paid employment waiting in one State or another for every man who is willing to do an honest day's work. Here the natural wealth of the country is lor all practical purposes unappropriated, and lying around you in almost unbounded prolusion. You have nothing to do but to exercise a little thrill and foresight for a few short months, or peihaps for a year, to spend for that time less than you earn, and there arc the means in the hands of every .one of you of obtaining house, land, whatever form of wealth you are most eager for, with only too great facility. On what possible plea of reason, or jus tice, or necessity, or even to hand or mouth policy, can you undertake to con trol or limit the right to work on his own terms, in his own way, of any man, when there is ample room for twenty times your present numbers, and your land is crying out for all the good work which every man among you can put into it When the great Trades’ Unions of England are becoming every day more peaceable, and reasonable, as they become more power ful, and are jealous of every expenditure which is not for some provident or benevo lent purpose, are the Unions and the working men of America going to pick up the old armour instead of leaving it to rust where it lies, and to spend the earnings which belong to their wives and children as much as to them, in a crusade for preaching the gospel of idleness I cannot believe it, for if there is one truth which this nation has hitherto preach ed faithfully to the rest of the world it is the gospel of work. The worth and noble ness of good hard work is the best outcome of your nistory so far as I can read it, and the signs that the old belief is not dead are among the most cheering memories which I shall carry back with me. I have the pleasure of knowing a senior classman at Harvard College who hired himself out as a laborer this last vacation in order to learn the business of farming trom the bc gining, and earned $10 a week beside his keep. At Cornell University the students who live by their own labor, in the print ing house or on the farm, arc precisely on the same footing as all the rest, and one rejoices to find that not one will lose caste there by the performance of any kind of honest work. So I hope soon to hear that the Unions in this country are getting more like the best of those in England, and have ceased to move in the old extravagant and tyrannical wavs. Donotmisunderstandme. f am not speaking against your Unions. I have always advocated them; I have main tained that they are an absolute necessity in England, and have been very useful in placing the work people in a position in which they can make a fair bargain with i employers, which they can never do when

l.pv nre in fear of want. Tbev are prob ably necessary here also, anil it they exist at all. the larger they are and the more thoroughly organized the better. Our ex perience has shown us that it is scarcely ever the large or rich societies which com mence a quarrel, and then it i9 almost im possible to draw one of them into a strike. All 1 would urge is the Trades Uuions here should adapt themselves to the needs and circumstances of a new country, "*th plenty of cheap land for every man «lio can possibly be brought here. I nder such circumstances to enforce rules restricting the hours of labor, or hindering bins 01 men from working at whatever trade, lor whatever wages they like to take, is to be i not only disloyal to their country, but lalse a fKoir mvn I'lllSS. TIIE BEST USE OF WEALTH. But if you here have something to learn from England as to the best method ot set tling the old dispute betwen labor and capi-; tal so as to secure the highest results, 1 am bound to admit that when those results i have been attained we have more to learn of you, as to the way in which wealth should be spent—for you seem to me to have realized, more than any other people among whom I have been, that the pro- j duce of labor—the wealth which flows in upon your citizens in such full measure should be held and used as a trust for the benefit not of themselves and their families only, but of the whole commonwealth, and, in time, of the whole human family. 1 have lately been staying with my friend, Mr. Godwin Smith of Ithaca, lie, as vou all probably well know, is a professor in the Cornell University, and, let me add. that England could send you no better man to help on the work which he is doing there. That magnificent establishment was founded by a private citizen, Mr. Cornell, who has spent something like a million dollars already upon it; another citizen »i Ithaca and his daughter have added build ings and a peal of bells which will cost another $2UH,000. In many towns, both West and East, 1 have found the same thing. They are full of colleges, hospitals public gardens, parks, and institutions, the gift of private citizens. But we need not go further than this great State and city to prove the fact. Are we not at this moment met in a hall, the free gift to the town and nation of one who is as well known and as highly honored as any living American, and who has spent a princely fortune oil this Institute? The magnificent institution known as the Young Men’s Christian Asso ciation is ouly another remarkable instance of the same rule, though having many founders instead of one did it need, 1 could name many others. Here your rich men pour out their millions freely for any worthy object, while with us it is difficult to raise thousands for the same purposes. One instance in England will be enough to mark the contrast. In the case of our Workingmen’s College we have been for years unable to build suitable class-rooms for the want of a few hundred pounds. When an English millionaire gives £1,000 for a charitable or patriotic purpose our press rings with his praise, and yet, it is not that England in the aggregate gives to public charities with a niggard hand. The amount raised in small sums is enormous, in excess even 1 should think, of that raised among you. It is only when we come to large sums, to undertakings for the public good, which require a fortune to be devoted to them, that we break down. It is true that we have one Miss C’outts but you are finding Peter Coopers and Ezra Cornells in every State. How comes this marked contrast? It seems to me there Is only one way of accounting for it, and that is by the difference of our forms of society; and, as I declared in an recent address in Boston, that for England 1 pre ferred our own, and had no desire for a change in a democratic sense, such as many of you seem to think so imminent in my country, I am bound in honesty to own up (its you say) when 1 think yours have the advantage; and it does seem to me that in this direction, of the use made in the two countries of those vast fortunes, which must inevitably accumulate in some few hands in times of immense commer cial enterprise and activity, such ns those we live in, the democratic is boating the aristocratic society out of sight. An or dinarily prosperous merchant or pro fessional man in England is generally open handed according to his means. It is only when he gets clear to the front, and passes into the first rank that lie breaks down. When large sums accumulate in his hands in a short time for which he lias no need his first idea is to found a family (as we call it.) AMBITION FOB TITLES. xlit; rticragc, ui ui «mv liut- wm winuun age, begins to look lovely in his eyes, and he must have “a place,'' ns the first step on that weary ladder. lie buys all the laud he can get hold of in some country, lie builds a house a little bigger than that of the nearest duke or earl, lie throws several farms into a park; he pulls down homesteads and cottages lie preserves his game; in short, as a witty divine said of such men among us, “solitudinem faciunt, placem appellant.” And, after all, the great majority of them die without the coveted title, having made their own lives thoroughly uncomfortable by a styleyvf liv ing which no human being who wasn't born to it can find anything but a burden, and very often without even getting into country society, perhaps the most jealous and conservative of all llritish institutions. Among you on the other hand no man seems to want to found a family, indeed no American 1 have ever met thinks it poss ible even if he had a wish to do it. Ac cordingly when your most successful men have got all in the shape of comfort and luxury which they desire, and have come square against the obstinate natural law that a man can only eat one leg of mut ton or drive in one carriage at a time, their first idea is, at least if they have any faith or public spirit which goes down deeper than their dinner, what can 1 do with all this lump of money lor the good of my State, or my country. And then—as for tunately the number of human beings who care about accumulating wealth for its ovvn sake are few in number—up go Cooper's Institutes Cornell Universities, (iirurd Col leges, and the like, and after the exertion the poor millionaire feels much better, shakes himself down comfortably again to his homely, simple daily life, and can once more breathe freely. It seems to me, mv friends, that your democratic institutions, which forbid that gradation of rank and class which we have in England, have this splendid advantage over ours, that they are far more favorable to the growth ol public spirit in the use of wealth and 1 confess that in this respect we have much to learn of you, and I fear shall take gen erations to learn it. KAliKW And now my task for to-night is done, and I onlv hope 1 may not have tired your patience verv sorely.’ One duty only re mains, to which I turn with very mixed feelings. To-morrow I sail for my own country, and I have now, therefore, to bid you all farewell. It seems to me some times as though it were only yesterday, sometimes as if it were so long that I can scarcely get behind it—since I crossed your border, and came among you, lull ol ex pectation as to what I should find hare, out quite unprepared for what I have found. 1 can scarcely believe, now I am going away, that is only a few weeks since 1 first saw men and women upon whom can henceforth only look as old and deal friends. And it is’not only from these, but from every one I have met between the Atlantic coast and the Missouri that 1 have received a welcome and kindest which I can never forget or repay. I will not attempt to account for or explain nl this. It is too pleasant, I had nearly said too sacred, to bear analysis. 1 can onh hope you may never have reason to feel that the object of all this kindness has be come unworth\*of it. I think, if 1 know myself, I may say without fear, the mem orv of your homes and your family lift will strengthen me for any work for tin own country which I may find to do in tin future. A man cannot but lie the bettei for having seen them, and few strangers can have seen them under such favorabh conditions as have fallen to my lot. Be lieve me, 1 shall not forget them. It is useless to prolong parting words, or tc strive to keep as arms’ length for a few short moments more the farewell which must too surely come. Farewell, then, and may God prosper the goings out and comings in of the great Republic. pailn ^unnrbcr journal 7Y XT G AT S T >Y FRIDAY MORNING, OCT. 28, 1870. TIIE FISHERY QUEST I OX. It we can credit the reports from Wash ington there will lie no trouble about the Fishery Question. The Herald correspon dent is informed “on unquestionable au thority that the disposition of the English Cabinet is to adjust the question at issue in a manner satisfactory to our government and favorable to the claims of American fishermen." The Philadelphia Press cor respondent also represents the matter in a similar light. The Press says: It is ascertained on the best authority thai the vexed question between the l niter States and Canada, relative to the fisheries will be settled at an early day to the satis faction of American fishermen. I “There is no desire upon the part of tin I Canadian authorities to make trouble abou 1 the matter or take any undue advantage o I existing treaties. At least this is the way I in which the Canadian officials represent 1 the matter to the State Department. It is understood that as soon as a new ministei 1 to England reaches London this will lit among the first questions to receive his at tention. “The President would have had it set I tied this fall but for the fact that Mr. Motley J will not remain long enough to complete the negotiations, nnd it was thought best j to allow things to remain as they are until a minister is sent to England who is likely to remain long enough to finish the nego tiations. It is sale to say. however, that there will be no serious trouble about the matter, notwithstanding the somewhat bul ligereut attitude of General Butler in hi. i speech, the other day, before his fishermen friends in Massachusetts.’’

POLITICAL. The report that Postmaster General Cress well has been tendered the appointment to St. James is denied by himself. No selection lias been made for Commis sioner of Internal Revenue and it is thought that no appointment will very soon he made. A Washington special to the Boston Jour nal says that Secretary Cox’s resignation was placed in the President’s hands during the former’s summer vacation, and. with the Pres ident's reply, i» witheld from publication foi the present, because at the time both consid ered the correspondence private. Gen Cox’s retirement, however, involved no dif ference of opinion oil public affairs, and then was entire harmony beween him and thi President on matters connected with the civ il service. General Meigs lias published a reply to thi article of Ex-Secretary Welles in the Galaxy. The point of it is, that the real object of the administration was to send a strong expedi tion to Pensacola, and that the movement or Fort Sumpter was only a feint. He says the matter was kept from Mr. Welles, not from any special want of confidence in him, hut because it was thought prudent to confide all knowledge of the contemplated operations tc the smallest possible number. The President lias appointed James Zely. Fiutcd States attorney for Nevada, and Chas, R. Rrnyton pension agent at Providence, R. I. i Governor Stearns, of New Hampshire, has appointed Win. S. Ladd, of Lancaster, as judge on the Supreme judicial bench. Mr Ladd is a Democrat, the only one on the judi cial bench ot the State. It is asserted that JL T. Karnes, who re ecived the largest vote for the nomination ti Congress in the first Rhode Island Republican District Convention, has the support of Sena tor Ames, while the Republican leaders gen erally favor Thomas Davis. Information has been received at the Reve nue Bureau from the Fourth District ofTenn. I that a hand of disguised men burned the mills of James Mullins, late member of Congress, but now Collector of Internal Revenue. A large quantity of grain was destroyed, with all the buildings. The same bund then proceed ed to the residence of Mr. Bradshaw, a reve nue agent, and endeavored to kill him, but lie escaped by his rear door. These law less acts were conmitted in revenge for the suppression of certain illicit distilleries which had been seized by Collector Mullins upon Bradshaw's information. The latter gentleman was an officer in the Confederate Army. An exchange says Capt. Thomas H. Marsh who died in Hartland last week, belonged tc a remarkable family, llis paternal ancestors, from the first settlement of the country, anil his descendants down to the present day have been found in the same line. He w as born if Danvers, Mass., July 9th, 1770, and coin i ninnded a eompnny in the Revolutionary war and his great-grandfather was an officer in tin old French war, and was at the taking o (Quebec in 1729; while the son of the lati Captain is the well known C'ol. Lucius B Marsh, of Boston, the commander of the 47tl Massachusetts Regiment, and his son is i militia officer now.

We gladly give place to the following com munication from Rev. Mr. Upjohn, setting forth the objects of the home for aged and in digent women, established in this city It may be interesting to your readers to have some information concerning St. Mark's Home for Aged and Indigent Women, an Institution just organized and about to be opened in this city. Indeed ns this Institution extends it* benefits to all Christian people, so iar as its means and accommodations will allow, it is properthat the public should understand some thing of its character and management. In anticipation of any more compleie statement which may be issued, the following may serve to inform the* public of the general features contemplated in the purpose’and management of the Home. It is generally known that the property lately owned and occupied by Dr. I. Snell, has been purchased by Mr. Allen Lam bard, and given as a free gift, to St. Mark s Parish, on the sole condition of its being ap propriated and used as a|lIonte for Aged ami Indigent Women. In accepting this trust, the Vestry of St. Mark's have* endeavored to carry out the generous design of the donor, by en trusting the supervision and management oi the Institution to members of the Parish, un der certain stipulated provisions. The supervision of the property and busi ness of the Institution is vested in a Hoard of Managers, consisting of the Bishop of the Dio cese, the Rector of St. Mark's and eleven laymen of the Parish. The internal government of the* Home is conducted by a Board of Associate Managers, composed of ladies of the Parish. 1 he benefits of the Home are extended on equal terms to persons of all denominations. And to all Par ishes or persons sending friends to the Insti tution, certain privileges are extended. As the Institution is not endowed, the mem bers of St. Mark’s Parish do not undertake to provide for the entire support of the inmates, but.it is the design that persons sending friends to the Home, should contribute regu lar ly to their maintenance, according to their ability. The position of St. Mark's Parish in this undertaking is that of a leader in a Chris tian work, which is designed not only to aliord a refuge for the infirmities and lonliness of age, but also by uniting charity with religion, a witness of Christian truth. In view of the general design of the Home as here stated, it is hoped that those who have begun the good work, will be met by the sympathy and kindly aid of the public at large. In this connection the writer gratefully ac knowledges the receipt of liberal donations from the following named gentlemen Mr. Artemas Libby $100; Mr. G. W. Stanley $100; Mr. II. A. DeWitt S100; J. P. Wvman i San $100; Mr. Thomas Lambard $100. Contributions in ntonc-y may be sent for the present to the Rector of St. Mark's. Articles of household furniture, which are needed, and provisions, may be sent to the Home. All contributions in money or otherwise, will be duly acknowledged. Applications for admis sion into the Home, must be addressed to Mrs. Thomas S. Lang, Secretary of the Board of Associate Managers, Augusta. S.VMl'EL Ul'JOHN, Rector of St. Mark’s Church.

And lying with upturned brows at night; Of the swift death angel, with brief sharp warning, Scattering broadcast ruin and blight; Of maidens watching, waiting, and weeping For lovers who never will come again; Of sisters longing for boys that are sleeping In coffinless graves on the battle pluin; Of the dread suspense and the awful anguish That from first to last is a woman's lot; Of loathsome prisons where dear one languish: Of sleepless nights and days, all fraught With wild conjectures and mighty sox row, With weeping and wailing ami hope deferred, With hating the present and dreading the morrow, And oft repeating “What news have you heard V” Of a cast-off garment, prized as a treasure, Because a dear one has worn it of late; Of rivers of tears, and griefs without measure: Of houses and homes made desolate. Yes, this is the meaning of war to women Not brave, heroic, nor strong I know; Weak no doubt; but she is so human, And the old-time Spartans died long ago. drucTstore -FOR SALE IS Brewer, opposite Bangor.

HELMBOLD'S CONCENTRATED Fluid Extract Buchu. rr ii e GREAT DIURETIC. The Proprietor trusts that his Remedies, from the fact of being advertised, may not be classed a3 Pa tent Medicines. BUCHU, in one form or other, has been presentee by every educated Physician for more than TWO HUNDRED YEARS. H. T. HELMBOLD claims a superior mode ol extracting its virtues. The experiments were made while engaged in the DRUG business in the city ol Philadelphia, nineteen years ago, prompted by the alarming increase of diseases of the Bladder, Kid neys, Gravel and Urinary Organs, existing in both sexes. These diseases were justly attracting its much attention as diseases of the Liver, or any I other vital organs of the body. Upon the sound and healthy condition of these important organs, the healthy and harmonious action of the nervous sys tem and Liver, and consequently the happiness ol the entire human family, depends. That Buchu should act upon both Liver and Kidneys, to pre j pare it so that it would retain it-« strength and active principle, was his aim. It must not be made, as I housekeepers make tea, by boiling. It is a delicate Leaf, and its active principle would be destroyed by such a process. It must be prepared in VACUO, and from the Long-leaf, fresh and carefully se lected. THE SUPERIORITY OF MY MODE OF PRE PARATION BEING Y no attention to dose, direc tion, or advice, might reason, “That if a teaspoon fill, taken occasionally, did good, two would do better, and perhaps a bottle would cure In a day.” Many have broken down their health by dissipa tion, and on; his principle; but they had been years in doing so. What I would have understood is. that no injury can arise from its use. It is as safe as any article ol' food; but patients must not expect any medicine to rebuild a wrecked or shattered constitution in a few days. This truth is so self-evident that it would seem unnecessary to repeat it. were it not for the fact that thousands of persons who are intelligent in all other matters, seem to think unreasonably, that a cura tive agent must exhibit its specific effects immedi ately, w lieu the fact is, that time is often an impor tant element in the progress of a safe and thorough cure, even when the medicine is working the best results. These same persons would expend HUN DREDS, yes, THOUSANDS of DOLLARS, in articles of LUXURY and DISSIPATION, and think less ol it than they would of FIFTY DOLLARS in medicine to rebuild a BROKEN DOWN and WORN OUT CONSTITUTION. Notwithstanding the number of years I have been engaged in business, there may be those located ai a distance that may not be aware of all the facts, ami would like to be satisfied on all the points. Having been educated a druggist, I unpend the fol lowing jtrom tao Largest Manulac turing Chemist in the World. “lain acquainted with Mr. II. 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 ami enterprise.” WILLIAM WEIGIITMAN, Firm of Powers Weightman, Manufacturing Chemists, Ninth anti Brown Streets, Philadel phia, Nov. 15, 1854. 1 propose to give evidence that this Remedy is not a patent medicine. The objection which gener ally lies against all discoveries and inventions in medicine is “publicity.” If somebody should dis cover a remedy to prolong life, or an infallible curt for cholera or consumption, what a monster woubl he be to withhold his knowledge! We have yet to learn from what chapter or verse in Scripture to quote, “that may not heal others of their fellow men of any disease.” Nor have we asked Pickwicks, affected prudes, or, in short, men who are possessed of every kind of sense but common sense, and all kinds of opin ions but their own. The Buchu is a good thing. It has hundreds of thousands of living witnesses to attest its virtues and commend it. It is the preju dice of bigots and the envy of “Quacks.” We offer the following evidence SEE JOURNAL OF PHARMACY SEE REMARKS MADE BY DU. EPIIKIAM M. y. L. AREN.

Helmbold, Druggist—Dear Sir: I have been a sufferer for upwards of twenty years w ith gravel, bladder ami kidney affections, during which time 1 have used various medicinal preparations and been under the treatment of the most eminent physicians, experiencing but little relief. Having seen your preparations extensively ad vertised, I consulted my family physican in regard to using your Extract Buchu. 1 did this because I bad used all kinds of adver li-cl remedies and had found them worthless, ami some quite injurious; in fact, I despaired of evet getting well, and determined to use no remedies hereafter unless I knew of the ingredients. It was this that prompted ine to use your remedy. As you advertised that it was composed of buchu, cubebs and juniper berries, it occurred to me ami my phys ician as an excellent combination and with his ad vice, alter an examination of the article and con sulting again with the druggist, 1 concluded to try if. I commenced to use it about eight months ago, at which tune I was confined to my room. From the first bottle I 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 my improvement might only be temporary, and therefore concluded to defer, and see if it would effect a perfect cure, knowing then it would be ol greater value to you and more satisfactory t me. I am now able to report that a cure is effected, after using the remedy for five months. I have not used any now for three months, and loci as well in all respects as I ever did. Your Buchu being devoid of any unpleasant taste and odor, a nice tome and invigorat«>r of the system, II do not mean to be without it whenever occasion may require its use in such affections. M.
