A PRODIGY.—In our absence from town
on Wednesday, a wonderful vegetable was
placed upon our table, with the following
note accompanying it :
COLUMBIA, Oct. 19th.
MA:. YOCUM,
• Dear Stir:-1 send to your
office a specimen of the product of my gar
den. Recently I have been giving consid
erable attention to the propagation of vege
tables and the development of horticultural
science. I have the past summer, during
my recreation and leisure moments made
some interesting and novel experiments.
The specimen before you 'was simply pro
duced by the partial separation of the seed
but not entirely disconnecting its parts,
and the insertion in the " Forsus," of the
germ of another seed 01 less vigorous pt °-
portion and growth.
To the curious and philosophical mind,
the vegetable I send you, will prove both
interesting and novel.
Yours Truly,
M. M. S.
The personal history of this prodigious
vegetable is quite interesting, and any of
our readers who are anxious to see a great
natural wonder,-are requested m call at
this office. Farmer S. has been successful
ly engaged in horticultural, philosophical
and zoological pursuits; what a happy au
gury of what his superior abilities may
produce in the near future. The explana
tion of the process of propagation and cul
ture is remarkably intelligible, and if like
causes produce like effects, may not the
same system of propagation be extended
indefinitely in every department of organ
ized matter, so as to produce species and
kinds. never before known in the civilized
world. We await with true philosophical
suspense and resignation toe development
of these highly interesting experiments ;
made by a mind of untold natural power,
strengthened no doubt by his intimacy
with the giant intellect of Agassis.

MouyrvlLLE ITEUs —The election on
the 11th inst. passed off quietly and sinooth
ly; only a little grumbling done by some
of the oflice-seekers. We are proud to ac
knowledge that it went Dickey in full.
On the 6th inst., a depredation was com
mitted, by some unknown villains, upon
one of our cisizen's hen-co ops, the thieves
taking therefrom thirteen fine fat hens ; but
what caused the affair to be so exasperat
ing to the owner, was cutting off the heads
of:the poultry and placing them nicely on a
heap beside the coop. We hope that these
rascals may be caught in their contempt
ible acts, and proper justice done to them.
A party of ladies and gentlemen of the I.
0. of G. T., of Columbia, paid a visit to the
Good Templars of this place, on Saturday
evening, Oct. 15th. After participating in
the pleasures and business of the evening,
returned to Columbia well pleased with
their visit. As we understand,a return vis
it will be paid on Tuesday evening, the 18th
inst. We have no doubt the same pleasure
will be situated as was by our Colum
bia friends.
The church being built at this place is
slowly progressing. It was expected to
have been finished by this time; but ow
ing to some disappointments on the part
of the mechanics, is still unfinished. It's
dedication will take place some time in
the beginning , of November.
The ground upon which the old church
stood, was attached to the grave-yard, mak
ing it considerably larger, and giving it a
better appearance.
Great interest is manifested, by our f aye
niles, in the gathering of chestnuts, wal
nuts, &c. There is a superabundance for
all.
While the young are gathering nuts, the
sportsmen are busy hunting rabbits, squir
rels, &c. There is more game to be bad
this season than for the past several years.
The farmers are almost through with
husking their corn—somo having finished
already.
The excitement among the tobacco grow
ers has considerably cooled down, prices
daerrased and purchasing entirely ceased.
There was considerable of it bought up
during the past few weeks.

IF you would see the woods in their glory
now is the time. They have commenced
to put on the gorgeous autumn hues, and
at this time present such a magnificent ar
ray of colors, that they fairly bewilder the
senses with thorn. Away to the woods at
once, and see for yourselves.

the champagne depots and vineyards the
enormous apple crop of this season through
out the United States will meet the defici

real article.
DEDICAZION.—The dedication of the
" Monument" school-honse, situated in
Manor turn., about one mile from Mount
vile, on Saturday evening„ 22nd inst.,
provided there In no disappointment by
the absence of the speakers. Prof. J. Pyle
Wickersham, State Superintendent, and
other prominent speakers are expected to
be in attendance.
It is a fine brick structure, situated in a
pleasant grove. The building is a credit
to Manor, and au encouragement to the
teacher, C. C. Seitz. We have no doubt
that our friend Mr. S. will feel proud when
he enters upon his duties in his new room ;
and we don't wonder, he has spent so
many school terms in an old log cabin.
We wish him success.
A HARRISI3URCh sunday school superin
tendent last spring distributed to each
member of the school four aernels of corn,
with the request that all plant the grains
given them, attend the growing stalks, and
bring the product to the sabbath school on
a day in autumn, to be designated some
time during the corn-husking season. The
time was fixed a few weeks ago, and a day
named. The result was the bringing in of
several bushels of the largest and finest
specimen ears of corn raised in the county
this year ; and a notification that nearly all
the balance of the corn raised by the mem
bers would be forthcoming by the next Sab
bath. The corn is to be sold at an early
day, and the proceeds set apart for mission
ary purposes. One of the beneficial effects
of this corn enterprise has been to pratical -
ly instruct the members of the school of
the pleasures and blessings of giving to
charitable and religious objects from means
raised through their own personal exer
tions.
A Wm:mina Toun.—A short time ago an
enterprising couple, hailing from, or near,
Middletown, took it into their heads to get
married, and to this end proceeded to the
parson's chateau, where they were spliced
in duo form, after which they started on
their wedding tour by railroad, and pro
ceeded in blissful oblivion on their way,
enjoying the honeymoon hugely, feasting
upon each other's love and building air
castles as to their future condition and hap
piness, never thinking that their day of
tribulation was so near at band. Alas that
their untold happiness should come to
grief so soon ! They had proceeded on their
way as far as Lebanon on the Lebanon
Salley railroad, when upon consulting the
port mounaies it was found that their funds
were exhausted, and as the conductor re
fused to take them further without stamps,
the two unfortunates wore obliged to re
trace their way on foot from thence to Mid
dletown, where they arrived in due course
of time. greatly discomfited, but not dis
mayed.
INTERESTING.—We are not often called
upon to notice an event of so much impor
tance to our general readers, as the REGU
LAR WEEKLY OPENING Of NEW GOODS AT
LIALDEMAN'S POPULAR DRY GOODS STORE.
For several weeks past, this firm,has bean
receiving large invoices of Fall Goods, and
their stock is now pronounced, by those
who have examined it, as MOST COMPLETE.
Owing to the war in Europe, many kinnds
of desirable goods are now entirely out of
the market, and others have been greatly
advanced in prices. The Messrs. Haldeman
made large purchases of Foreign Goods
EARLY IN THE SEASON, WHILE THE ASSORT
MENTS WERE GOOD AND PRICES LOW, and
aro now able to offer to their customers, an
unusually handsome stock and without
any advance in prices. They make a
splendid display of SILKS : SILK Por.t.fxs;
PLAIDS, SarrEENa in the new cloth shades;
and the best assortment of BLACK SILKS
ever shown in Columbia. REAL PAISLEY
SHAWLS, ROMAN STRIPE SHAWLS In new
colors. Best Kid Gloves at old prices. We
advise our readers to make their purchases
at lIALDEMAN'S STORE, as they are certain
to have a large choice of the best goods, and
at the very lowest possible prices.
TAKE IT EASY.—There is so much truth
in the following from the Philadelphia Star
that we transfer it entire to our local col-
IMBE
Americans work too long anti too hard.
The people of no nation on the face of the
earth make such slaves of themselves as
the majority of American business men.
From morning until night, and frequently
from night until morning, they tug, and
toil, and strive, as though every moment
not devoted to business were a moment ir
retrievably lost. It is not surpi ising there
fore, that so few men, comparatively, retire
from business with a competency and ro
bust health. In securing the one, they sac
rifice the other . In memory they are liter
ally worn out before they reach the prime
of life, and hence the remainder of their
lives is a burden to themselves and others.
How different the case would be could our
business men be taught to realize the
healthful advantages of judicious recrea
tion. We do not mean a ride behind a
a handsome team, or a lounge on the sofa
with a cigar as a companion, or possibly
somethii g to drink, but a complete un
bending of the mind and body from the
stern rigidities of business, and the indulg
ence in such out-door exercises as will
strengthen and invigorate the body while
it.relaxes the tension of the mind. Run
ning, leaping, quoit-pitching. ball-playing,
rowing, or iu fact any of the ordinary harm
less recreations of boys and young men can
be profitably indulged by men of maturer
years. Why should not a man of fifty play
ball, or pitch quoits, row a boat; or run a
race? There is no sound reason why he
should not, unless it be that he is too digni
fied for such boyish recreations. or too
deeply immersed -in business to give the
time they require. What wonder that
every other business man in America is a
dyspeptic or a consumptive. We can point
to a half dozen men who are to-day the
very pictures of robust health and vigor,
but who ten years ago were going on the
two-forty pace towards their graves. They
realized their danger, sought pleasant and
healthful recreations, convinced themselves
that they could not afford to dispense with
it, even though business should suffer.
They throve as vigorously as their neigh
bors, who felt that they had not an hour to
spare from their counting-houses and store
rooms, and they are to-day stout, strong,
bale, hearty and happy men, while their
toiling, sweating, struggling-for-a-fortune,
rivals ar• either dead or mere wrecks of
their former so] yes.

A SPLENDID display of the auroral lights
was visible on Friday evening. It began
at about 7 o'clock, attained its height at S„

orange and deep crimson being the prevail

describing it as it appeared here.
LARGE AGRICULTURAL 'WARM:MUSE.—
We learn with pleasure that our friend and
fellow townsman H. H. Heise, has com
menced excavating for the erection of an im
mense agricultural, seed and implement
store and warehouse, on the lot adjoining
his residence on Locust street. It will Le
about 23 feet front, extending back 80 feet
and three stories high. The entire front of
the first floor will be an open glass with
ceiling fourteen feet high. This is an institu
tion long needed, as there is none of its
kind nearer than York or Lancaster, and
Mr. Heise is the man to manage it. He in
tends to keep in stock all kinds of farming
implements, machinery, seed die., on com
mission usually kept in such stores.
/le is also repairing his residence, which
which, when finished will compare fayor
ably with the new building.
AT a meeting of Vigilant Fire Company

were unanimously adopted :

sympathy to the afflicted family, who have,
by his untimely death, lost a son and
brother.

MLLE. CIERISTINE Nmssox, the queen of
song, is to visit Lancaster in about two
weeks, and give one concert under the
management of a party of gentlemen, who
have made similar efforts with other dis
ti, guished singers and artists. Her stay in
America is limited to three months, for
which time she receives one hundred thou
sand dollars, Tickets of admission to her
concerts sell at from three to fifteen dollars,
according to quality. A cotemporary who
has heard her, speaks of the high notes of
her voice as very fine, but in the interme
diate notes there is an acual thread of harsh
ness, and to a critical ear there is a total
want of that symphthetic quality which
so highly cbaracterizedthe utterances of
the true Swedish nightingale. Mlle. Nils
son's face will, we think, give quite as
much explanation of success as a hearing
of her voice.
She was well described to us before we
arrived as being a beautiful young woman,
with the artless innocence of a child in her
manners, and an almost angelic goodness
in her face. We find her to be, in fact, a
tall, squarely-made person, with that com
bination which belongs to her nation, of
light hair, and a dull, almost a dark com
plexion, and having no pretensions to
beauty beyond a pair of large and expres
sive eyes.
But there is something in her face which
goes farther toward success in this world
than mere beauty; there is considerable
intellect, and a very unusual amount of
resolution. In that square almost heavy
chin there lies a great deal of power, and I
fancy Mlle. Nilsson's present position as
queen of song is due quite as much to
steady persistency and good management
as to her undoubtedly fine qualities as an
actress and singer.
TEACH EPS INSTITITTE.—The teachers in
stitute will be held in the Court Rouse in
Lancaster city, commencing at 10 o'clock,
A. M., on Monday, November 14th, and
will continue during the week.
The following persons will be present
and give instruction :
Prof. Edward Brooks, Millersville.
Prof. B. G. Northrop, Connecticut.
Mrs. Anna T. Randall, New York.
Prof. A. R. Byerly, Millersville.
Prof. J. V. Montgomery, Millersville
Papers will be read by Prof. A. R. By
erly, Prof. Edward Brooks, Prof. 13. G.
Northrop. Samuel M. Keneagy, M. D., Rev.
E. H. Nevin.
Essays will be read on th, following sub
jects: The Ideal, Teaching History, Early
Impressions, Teaching Children to Think,
Thoroughness and Progress, Moral In
struction, "Then" and •'Now," Require
ments of the Teacher, Natural Science in
Common Schools.
The following subjects will be submitted
for discussion :
f3hotild studies be arranged to suit the fu
ture pursuits of pupils? How should we
leech Grammar? How should History be
taught ? Means of securing study on the
part of the pupils. How can interest In
school be secured ? The best way of evok
ing thought. How can directors aid in im
proving the schools 7
A part of every morning session will be
devoted to discussions on subjects per
taining to teaching, and to drills In the dif
ferent branches, led by experienced teach
ers, with the design of giving teachers an
idea of how to discipline a class as well as
instruct it.
A. list of words to be spelled will be sub
mitted to the Institute at some suitable
time in the session, and a prize awarded to
the member that shall prove himself to be
the best speller. It is the intention of the
Superintendent to offer several other prizes
for proficiency in knowledge to be acquired
at the institute.
It is hoped that the teachers of the county
will be present at the opening, engage zeal
ously in the exercises,and remain all week.
Those will be benefited most that will at
tend from the beginning, and will have by
far the best chance of taking a prize.
The school directors of the different dis
tricts will aid their teachers and the insti
tute much and consequently benefit their
schools by granting their teachers the time
and instructing them to attend.
Vocal and instrumental music will farm
a prominent feature of the proceedings.
Let all unite to make this the moat inter
esting and instructive meeting ever held in
the county.
The public are respectfully invited to at•

.A. few words to you, to comply with the
wishes of my friends, and to get the mat
ter off from my shoulders is all that can
be expected of me. " Time,"says the poet,
"is the stuff life is made of." Nature has
divided it into seasons and adapted it to
man's convenience, in a certain measure,
for the various pursuits of life. The season
for the business,in which we were engaged,
is rapidly drawing to a close ; but before
we separate, you will allow me in behalf of
the employees of yop Company, to tender
to you their profound respects, and present
to you a small gift in the shape of a time
piece, upon which you will find the names
of the friends you hays, added to your list.
This yea will accept.a:s a token of respect,
and as a proof of a just regard, and a due
appreciation of your kindness to us while
in your employ. The names of your
friends engraved on the lids of that gift,
have a warm wish for a happy, long and
prosperous life of usefulness for you, and
that the day may soon come, in which your
business may increase, so that every tick
and click of that watch, may indicate a foot
of rod on your sales. In behalf of the gen
tlemen before you this evening, I will say,
if any have failed, or committed an error,
take a few moments of that time, and you
will perhaps find that it was the only ex
pedient to effect a sale and carry on the
business. I will now leave you the recip
ient of a gift from your humble servants.
Mr. Clapp then rose, saying : This is the
happiest time of my life, the highest honor
and noblest gift that I can receive ; and I
am proud to say, the recipient of the rich
est gift ever bestowed upon any of the
Lightning Rod fraternity. I ,am proud to
learn that the five:yeara of my administra
tion have been approved of. I hold this
gift as an endorsement of my efforts to
make the path of tliemen under me smooth
and agreeable. I know, gentlemen, the sac
rifice you have made. I hope you will now
return to your homes and be able to enjoy
the comforts of peace and happiness. I
again thank you for this token of respect.
You will now repair to the dining•rooin
and partake of somo wino and. the good
things of life.
A number of appropriate toasts were then
given by Messrs. Green, Clapp, Rex and
Goddard. Mr. Mclntosh then gave the
following: " Here is to the health and
good luck of our employer. -May he live
long and prosper."
Mr. H. 11. Heise, of Columbia, then gave
the following toast: " Here is to our worthy
Secretary, may his business increase until
the points of his Lightning Rod may equal
the stars above us."
Prof. Burlsigh, when the wine was pre
sented him, remarked that he used it only
as a medicine. This evening Brother Mc-
Intosh, recovering from a protracted fever
needs it, but I do not. The Prof. spoke im
promptu for about I 5 or 20 minutes. He
believed the "laborer sus worthy of his
hire" but it was not the wealth of the Com
pany whose representative for this state was
made the recipient of the costly jewel to
night, that he held up for imitation. It was
their energy, their tact, their perseverance
—in causing their teams to traverse nearly
every county of ;every state in the entire
union.
In giving to the world the Cable Light
ning Rod, they have improved the greatest
discovery of the greatest philosopher of the
western continent.
The assiduous employees should be ani
mated by the consciousness that a suitable
lightning rod properly erected is a certain,
and infallible protection. Every one en
gaged in the profession however humble
his position is contributing his mite to
wards giving greater protection to proper
ty—more certain security to life—and far
more thorough enlightenment in the most
intensely interesting important secular sub
ject that can ever claim human attention.
Lightning, or Atmospheric Electricity, is
the most subtle, the most extended and
powerful, and yet when its infallible laws
are understood the easiest controlled of all
known agencies. By it alone the telegraph
operator can flash intelligence from-conti
nent to continent in the twinkling of an
eye. By the aid of the rod the trained lad
der hand can conduct safely and harmless
ly away from any building the most terrific
discharges of lightning that the Almighty
in his infinite goodness has ever collected
around this sublunary orb of the illimitable
universe. God through the agency of at
mospheric electricity has given to man
powers that in a former ago would by, even
the most profound, have been considered
superhuman. It is the Creator's agent in
supporting the life of the smallest insects
that swim unseen in the water we drink
and flit unobserved in the invisible atmos
phere we breathe—so it progresses grade
by grade throughout animated nature up
to man the highest in the scale of created
intelligence. Its negative and positive
power corresponds to the centripetal and the
centrifugal force cf the old astronomers. It
moves in harmonious regularity the count
less sysFein of worlds that swing with un
erring exactness throughout the illimitable
universe. Science is the ever faithful hand
maid of pure religion. The universal,
ceaseless Illimitable power of this invisible
agent, is the strongest uninspired proof
tho christian can ever have of the omni
cient and omnipresent power of the
ever adorable Divine architect of the uni
verse—electricity is the highest department
of science, christianity is the purest source
of morals. The lightning rod and the cross
are inseparable emblems—just as you be
hold these twin soul-inspiring tokens ris
ing above the dwellings of men—may you
count upon the advancement of the com
munity, where they most abound, in their
onward progress from the ignorance,the su
perstitions, the intolerable and insupporta
ble bigotry of the Dark Ages. They de
note the onward progress of civilization—
the happiest possible condition of society—
the greatest prosperity the highest renown
and glory of a country. The presentation
here to-night offers soul inspiring encour
agement to the humblest employee of this
vast company. Have you met with the re- i
buffs of the ignorant—it was the progenitors
of that class of well meaning, over weening
zealots who nailed a crucified Savior to the
cross. Let not unmerited abuse over dis
courage you whenever you hear the clapp
ing of hands as you have here to-night you
will think of the skill and perseverance of
Clapp. And even the humblest ladder
hand may yet live to be as thoroughly
"guarded arid as affectionately watched."
The lightning rod and the cross, the em -
blems of science and purity, the symbolic
mediators • between Heaven and Earth—
may the time speedily come when the in
mates of evory home will be cheered by the
unfailing equilibrium of the former and the
eternal security by the latter, of a blissful
immortality.
Mr. J. F. Werntz was then called to give
S toast; rising he said, that it was cusigm.
MAX. Illlfluna's No. 1 Mackerel are, without
exception, the best and largest We have ever
seen or eaten. They are fresh and pure and the
cheapest in town. ror sale, wholesale and retail
at his grocery store, 299 Locust street, where can
also be found a large stock of fresh family gro
ceries of the choicest brands. Also, for sale, the
celebrated White Wine Vinegar, for plckellng..
ary for Lightning Rodmen, to put on a little
more than was ordered: I will not at this
important time go back on our rule, but
call for more cakes from our worthy secre
tary. (Laughter and clapping of hands, as
the cakes were disappearing rapidly.)
After the repast, the Secretary proceded
to his room, to close up the business for the
season.
COLD weather has see in, stoves are in
demand, and the question naturally arises,
Where shall I get a stove? Experience
teaches us that the best articles are always
the cheapest. Hence we advise all our
readers to go at once to Wilson's, corner of
Second and Locust, and examine his stock
of new and second-hand stoves. He has
the Morning Glory, Juniata Base Burner,
the Sunnyside Diamond, and all kinds of
cook stoves.
Wilson's lot of second-hand stoves, is the
largest in Columbia. Buy where you have
the largest assortment to select from. Go
to Wilson's.
THE iEolians have received the following
letter, which explains itself:
To the Members of the .3%,01ict i Quintal;
Columbia, Pa.
GENTLE:IIIIN :—The People's Reform Ex
ecutive Committee of Berkley County,have
requested me to write to you, and request
that you be present with us on Saturday,
22nd of October, at our Grand Tournament
and People's Reform Barbacue. All expen
ses will be paid, and a hearty welcome
awaits you. Please answer immediately.
Yours Truly,
E. S. DOnSET.
Martinsburg, W. Va., Oct. 17, 1870.
The Club may feel proud of their early
recall to Virginia. We trust they may have
a pleasant time.
IN response to a notice in our issue of
last week, a number of our sportsmen met
on Saturday evening last, and organized a
society, to be known as "The association
for the protection of game in Lancaster
county." The following officers were elect
ed :
President—Jos. U. Black.
Vice President—Peter Saylor
Tr c asur er —.I ames E. Mifflin
Secretary—H. C. Lentz.
A paper was signed by all present.to abide
by and enforce the Game laws. Gunners
will therefore take notice, and not shoot
any insectivorous birds or partridges ; nor
any ducks on Tuesday, Thursday or Fri
day of each week, nor - go shooting, hunting
or trapping on Sunday. We will publish
an abstract from the game laws next week,
giving all the laws relating to game now
in force.
TIIR LITERARY AND Must SL ENTER
TAINMENT on Friday evening by Prof.
Hurt and Miss Nellie Johnston was a fine
tribute by an appreciative people, to local
talent. The ball was crowded, as we have
never seen it before, with the most intelli
gent and refined of our citizens.
Prof. Hart's renderings of choice selec
tions, ranging from the grave to the comic
delighted the audience, and he was repeat
edly encored. His " Moneyless Man."
"Barbara Frietchie" and "Joe Hooker at
Lookout Mountain" written by our fellow
townsman, E. N. Gunnison, fully establish
Mr. Hart's powers as an able elocution
ist. His " Few Moment in the Mimic
World," were irresistibly amusing. To
the student of English literature, his ren
derings of select portions of Sbakspeare's
Hamlet into Pennsylvania dutch were in
tensely funny, at the same time displaying
in Mr. Hart a remarkable power and ap
preciation of this quaint old fashioned dia
lect.
Miss Johnson was at home in her vocal
selections ; her finest pieces were " Flee as
a bird," "Put me in my little bed" and
"How the gates came ajar." The lust was
charming.
We also take occasion to refer to the fine
poem, "Hooker at Lookout Mountain,"
written by E. N. Gunnison. It is pro
nounced by competent critics as very fine,
comparing with Sheridan's Ride, and other
standard poems, and far surpassing many
which are classed with the literature of the
day.
THE COLUMBIA. LEIDERIMANZ.—This
MOSI.CIII and dramatic association is com
posed entirely of Germans. They have
been rehearsing a piece called "The Elope
ment from the Shoemaker Shop" and bad
a semi-public entertainment in the SPY
building on last Monday evening. A fine
orchestra of ten pieces under the direction
of Prof. Scbmeid furnished the instrument
al music.
luaus Reisley, Esq., of Wrightsville
ook the dramatic charact or.
A small platform and stage had been
built at the east end of the room,with taste
fully painted back ground, relieved by
wings and columns at the sides and orna
mental scroll work overhead. A curtain
was arranged to rise and fall at the pleas
ure of the manager. Tho orchestra was
seated at the foot of the stage. The whole
had a very pleasing effect.
The performance, both the musical and
dramatical parts, was very fine. The sing
ing by.the members of the Leiderkranz was
superior to anything of the kind we have
ever beard. The entertainment was a so
cial festal occasion after the style of the
Fatherland, and the Leiderkranz deserves
the highest praise for their success.
On one end of the stage was displayed the
American flag, on the other the flag of the
North German Confederation.
The whole affair was a hearty German
re-union—a little of Germany in America
—and. we enjoyed the entertainment very
much.
The festivities were prolonged up to a
ate hour.

ADDRESS
To the Nervous and Debilitated.
Whose sufferings have been protracted from
hidden causes, and whose cases require prompt
treatment to render existence desirable: Ifyon
are suffering, or have suffered, f•om involun
tary discharges, what effect does it produce upon
your general health? Do you feel weak, debili
tated, easily tired? Does a little extra exertion
produce palpitation of the heart? Does your
liver, or urinary organs, or yonr kidneys, fre
quently get out of order? Is your urine some
times thick, milky or Rocky, or is It ropy on
settling? Or does a thick scum rise to the top?
Or is a sediment at the bottom after it has stood
awhile? Do you have spells of short breathing
or dyspepsia? Are your bowels constipated?
Do you have spells of fainting, or rushes of blood
to the head? Is your memory impaired? Is
your mind constantly dwelling on this subject?
Do you feel dull, listless, moping, tired of com
pany, of life? Do yet/ 'wish to be left alone, to
get away from everybody? Does any little thing
make you start or jump ? Is your sleep broken
or restless? Is the lustre of your eye as bril
liant? The bloom on your cheek as bright? Do
you enjoy yourself in society as well? Do you
pursue your business with the same energy? Do
you have as much confidence In yourself? Are
your spilits dull and flagging, given to fits of
melancholy? If so, do not lay it to your Liver
or dyspepsia. Have you restless nights? Your
back weak, your knees weak, and have but
little appetite, and you attribute this to dys
pepsia or liver-complaint?
Nort, reader, self-abuse, venereal diseases
badly cured, and sexual excesses, are all capa
bie of producing a weakness of the generative
organs. The organs of generation, when in
perfect health, make the man. Did you ever
think that those bold, defiant, energetic, perse
vering, successful business men are always
those whose generative organs are in perfect
health? You never hear such men complain of
being melancholy, of nervousness, ofpalpltatlon
of the heart. They are never afraid they can
not succeed in business; they don't become sad
and discouraged; they are always polite and
pleasant in the company of ladies, and look you.
and them right In the face—none of your down
cast looks or any other meanness about them.
I do not mean those who keep the organs infla
ted by running to excess. These will not only
ruin their constitutions, but also those they do
business with or for.
How many men, from badly cured diseases,
from the effects of self-abuse and excesses, have
brought about that state of weakness In those
organs that has reduced the general system so
much as to induce almost every other disease—
idiocy, lunacy, paralysis, spinal affections, sui
cide, and almost every other form of disease
which humanity is heir to, and the real cause
of the trouble scarcely ever suspected, and have
doctored for all but the right one.
Diseases of these organs require the use of a
Diuretic. HELMBOLD'S FLUID EX.TRA.CT
BUCHU is the great Diuretic, and la a certain
cure for diseases of the Bladder, Kidneys, Grav
el, Dropsy, Organic Weakness, Female Com
plaints, General Debility, and all diseases of the
Urinary Organs, whether existing in Male or
Fel:dale, from whatever cause originating, and
no matter of how long standing.
If no treatment is submitted to, Consumption
or Insanity may ensue. Our flesh and blood are
supported from these sources, and the health
and happiness, and that of Posterity, depends
upon prompt use ofa reliable remedy.
