H. T. Hki.mboi.d. Druggist i
Dear Sir: I have been a sufferer for upwaid o
twonty years witli gravel, bladder, and kldnjy affec
tions, during which time I have used various medicinal
preparations, and been under the treatment of the most
eminent pbysloians, experiencing but little relict.
Having seen your preparations extensively a Ivor
Used, I sonsalted my family pbyslclaa In regard to
asing your Extract ol Buchu
I did this because I bad used all kinds of advertised
emedles, and bod lound them worthless, aud some
quite lnjuilous; In tact, I despaired of ever gotting well,
and determined teuse no remedies hereafter unless 1
knew of tbe Ingredients. As you advertised that it was
composed of bucM, eubebt, and jumper btrriet, it
occurred to me and my physician as an excellent com
blnation, and, with his advloe, atter an examination ot
the article, and consulting again with a druggist, I con
cluded to try iu I commenced its use about eight
months ago, at which time I was conflnei to my mom
torn tbe first bottle I was astonished and grailileu a,
tbe beneficial effect, aud after using It three weeks, was
able to walk out. I felt much like writing you a full
ittatement of my case t that time, but thought jnOrn
TToTeuIeut might only be temporary, and 'fno.iet Jre
concluded to defer and see If It would effect a cure 1
knowing that t w ould be ot jr eater value to you aud
and more satisfactory to me.
I AM NOW ABLE TO BEPOBT THAT A CUBE IS EFFECTED
!TBB rjSlNQ THB BKEKDT FOR VB MONTHS.
I HAVE NOT USED AM MOW 101 TUBES MONTHS, AND
f EEL AS WELL IN ALL BSSFECTS AS I EVEB DID.
Yonr Buchu being devoid of any unpleasant tastu
and odor, a nice tonic and Invlgorator of the system, I
do not mean to be without it whenever occasion may
require its use in sucb affections.

AROTHER RMLPQAO ACCIDEKT,
A Car IO ad of Kutiaraatte Precipitated
Over an Embankment Full Partlcu
lars of the Catastrophe.
Yesterday morning, about half-oast 1 o'clock,
a eeilov.s accident occurred to tho maht express
pa.setifrcr train, coming west on tho Xcrre Haute
ltnilroad. Tlie scene of the CHtatropne was
about a mile cast of Parip. The train, which

The cng.ue a3 fup..689 cr P" over in
safety. The bftgace csr rt"'l.v .removed
lrom the rails; the next ea cra','t with
emigrants, moBtly Germans waa tniOD l"Pm
the rails, and fell down n embankment 6t
nearly thirty feet higb. ttirpin over aa It fell,
aud was Ihnrotigblj' wreckei. tlve shock start

ol the embankment, while the bmfy oi the car
ciUKlied on tbe level ground below, aud was
splinteted and broken open on every ide. On"
of the trucks resting in he middle of fre car.
Fortunately, at the time tbefl'Tldentofrnrrof,
the train bad only pttrtiahy emerged frcin the
cut, and hence "tbe three other poswnger
curs w?rc not throwu down tbe cmbaukm.iut.
All, however, wer.3 drutrgci from the traoa
and throv.ii up against the bnuk: of the cut,
tbe rieht-haud wheels being elevated In the
air. The car next that which rolled down
Ue erabai.kment waa dratwr-d to the mouth
of th(! cut, and only escaicd a similar fate bv
the strength of the conphng and the fact tha't
the rear trucks were deeply imUc led in the
earth, the far eud of the cur resting .against the
bank; it was a good deal shaken and. broken
from thv trucks, but not otherwier damaged.
The other two cohches, trw ladies' ear, and the
sleeping tar, were thrown as above ?ted n
slanting position against the bank, andaltoough
considerably shaken; wcro not scriousry U 'lured.
The night was bitterly old, but the ss verity
of the weather wes overlooked in the f icral
anxiety to retoue the unfortunates. wbos im
ploring cries were heard ceaselessly. Tlnviofli
cern ol the tram went to work with a will, v id,
aided by many of tbs passenjvrs, soon a c
cecded in extricating the woundsd emlirrBiM.
Tbe embankment ran over a small stone ci
verf, across the mouth cf which the car lay eiie
ways, 3ud the roo1 beirtj; completely tora ofF0
there was no difficulty in obtaining access to ttte
inteilor of the car.
The wounded, however, were burled in amon,
broken tiiBbers, and It took some time before
they wore all taken out. Whfn looking at the
thoroughly shattered remains ot the cat, it
would seeo impossible that any of the 'passen
gers therein could escape alive; but marvel
lou. ly enough, only one person was found to
be killed a woman whose baby was found la
the culvert, her skull beinu crushed in so hs lo
calise deolh sAtuost iDStantly.
So fur as we could ascertain, ''about twenty
wouuticd pcrpons were taken out. several of
them it is lenred fntally iniured. but 'the majo-
rity not ddngcrouBly hurt. As the work of rt-'-moving
thj woanded was poina on, thn'soene'
was oi a nature to impress itself vividly on the '
memory. The cries ol mutilated nien and1
womeu, the plaucing of lights, the hurrying to
and fro of paHsenaers, and the wrecked 'train
dimly seen in tho taint otarligbt, formed a spec
tacle" that lew ot those who witnessed It will
everforeet.
As tast as the wounded were taken out they
weie conveyed on botrd tbe baggase t ar and '
carried to Putls Station, about a mils west of
the spot, m.rt from tVnce removed to the Paris
Hotel, where menicitl assistance was procured
and all suitable ascommodation otferett. Th
passenirers also congregated at the hotel until
about ten o'clockc w hen the Matoon accommo
dation tialn arrived, whose passengers bntnjr
transferred to a train which came up t'rotri Terr
Haute, took them on to St. Louis, where tb
arrived without further accident, about hall'-pa-it .
eight o'clock yesterday evening.
Ihe accident, the Republican says, was caused
by a broken rail. .
