THE CHILDSEU. -
When tr-e lessens and tasks re all ended.
And tiie school for the day ii dismised,
And th iit:ie ones gather aroand me.
To bid me food night and be kissed :
Kb. tie little white arms that encire'e
M r uerx in a tender embrace !
Ob ' the ;mila that are haloi of hearen,
r-hedding sunshine of lore en my face !
Ai.d when they are gone I ait dreaming
i'f n; childhood tee lovely to last;
Of lore that niy heart will remember.
When it wakes to the poise of the past.
Ere ;he world and its wickedness maae me
A fanner of iorrow and sin,
When the glory of God was abont me.
And the glory of gladness within.
-Oh. my heart grows weak as a woman's.
.AnJ (he fouutains of feeling will flow.
When 1 think of the paths steep and stony
Where the feet 01 the dear ones must go ;
f.f the mountains of sin hanging o'er them,
t 'f the tempest of Fate blowing wild ;
nil ' there is nothing on earth half so holy
As the innocent heart of a child !
They are idol of hearts and of households;
They are angels of God in disguise ;
II if sunlijjht still sleeps in their tresses,
Iiig!orv still gleams in their eyes;
h ' timso truants f mm home and from heaven,
'1 hey have made me more manly and mild !
A : 4 i ki.cw now jeius could liken
1 he Hcgdora of Hod to a child.
I s-k cot a life for the dear ones,
AH radiant as others have done.
i!t tout life may have just enough shadow
To temper the glare of the son;
I would pray God to guard them from evil.
tut my prayer would bound back to myself;
: a ferapo may pray lor a sinner.
Hut a sinner must pray for himself.
The twig is so easily bended,
1 have Vanished the rule and the rod :
I've taught them the goodnessof knowledge.
1 ney nave taught me toe goodness Of Hod ;
Mv I tart is a dungeon of darkness.
V here I shut them from breaking a rule ;
Mv frown is sufficient correction ;
My love is the law ot the school.
I shall leave theold house in the autumn.
To traverse its threshold no more :
Ah '. how I shall sigh for the dear ones.
That meet me each morn At the door !
I shall meet the "good night" and the kisses,
And the gush of their innocent glee,
II c group on the green, and the flowers
That are brought every morning to me
I -hll miss them at morn and at eve,
1 heir sung in the school and the street ;
I shall miss the low bum of their voices.
And the tramp of their delicate feet.
V hen the Icsods and tasks are all ended.
And death says, ' The school is dismised !"
May the little one? gather around me,
To bid me good night and be kused.
HOW THE DOCTOR GOT A WITE.
S;mc years since, professional crgage
n:riit3 called me from the Atlantic States to
California, rtty duties, pertaining to a case
i f ctinMiierable importance. In the course
of my business peregrinations T passed a
week or two at Sacramento, thn a town
rapidly prowirg into note, but not so large
1" 'T densely populated as it is now. Short-
after my arrival there I wet at ray Lotel
no c'. l cluscuate, and whom I should scarce
ly liave recognized, sourea:ly was be chang
cl in personal appearance. He had seen
my name on the hotel register, and remem
bering it, waited upon me and introduced
himself.
I was heartily glad to see him in the far
away country, and we sat down to a pleas
ant chat together, over the events of our
lives, past and present.
I remembered that my college mate had
not been overburdened with means in kia
e?r!i.r days ; and, though he was a man of
superior talents, the competition in the
business to which he devoted himself was
altogether too great to permit him to enjoy
a fiir beginning at home. He had, there
fore, relinquished his undertaking in the
pretty town at the East, where he had
li"pi'J to "live and flourish," soon after
gruj-iatinj; and with a few hundred dol
lars only, I knew he started "for San Fran
:' and a market," as he pleasantly
termed his intended dedication for Cali
fornia. I now observed that he was expensively
atttrtJ, wore costly jewels in kis bosom,
drove a handsome span before a fine car
riage, and lived in good style in a suite ot
the best apartments in the first hotel in
Sacramento. And so I continued :
''Voti are practising here eh, doctor?"
'"Ves," he said. "And let me tell you
Low and why it is that I am doing so - well
you .-f-tm to have discovered."
' ' I ) on, dot tor. Is it a romance ?"
''Ni. it was the result of an accidental
'ia -.v.-y, the merest trifle of circumstance,
which made my fortune. And singularly
V'Uir'i. too. It will interest you howev
er." "I have no doubt of it. Proceed."
ell. I have fortunately solved a very
j-iuipu.- but perp!exir. mystery that fell di
reotly in my way, professionally. I arrived
r- Mn Francisco with less .than two bun
rei ir.'!ars in? my possession, four years
ar--o ; and I made up my mind in a very
Irief space of time, subsequently, that the
voci;on of a physician there was precious
P rr means by which to amass money. Few
I p!e get tick in this blessed climate, in
lie r-t place ; and if they did, there were
p'.'nty ot cuppers and blisters already there,
wli j stood waiting to bleed both the pa- j
tietit. an,i their pockets to the last. drop. 1
t'-iil there was an occasional opportunity
fjr prat-tiee. I applied myself with assidu
"' but soon tired of San ' Francisco, and
came to this city, where I hoped for
better success. . ..
' I published a staring card in the only
paper printed here, and took lodgings at
tbis same house, just then completed. But
Patients were scarce, or sby of the new com
er. However, an old Spanish Mexican,
"ho occupies an extensive ranche just out
of the city, waited upon me and informed
that his daughter was ill at his resi
oeace. "He Lad tried all physicians far
and near Spanish, French and American.
N one of them did any good. " He bad seen
'card. Would I enter kis carriage;
and ride out to see her ?" '
"1 readily assented, of course. On ar-'
riving at old Kabino's hacienda, I was
agreeably surprised to find a fine stone resi
dence, ancient in style, but massive "in ex
tent, and the interior was elegantly furnish
ed and decorated.
" had acquired a smattering of Spanish,
years previously ; and having had occasion
here to confer with the natives, I readily
understood him when Senor Itabino inform
ed me that his only child, the daughter, he
spoke of, had been latterly quite ill, and
had declined in health for a year; while
more receetly ehe had fainting fits, which
alarmed both the young lady and her opu
lent father, who had sought in vain for
medical aid, and who was ready to pay round
ly for any services, could I relieve or restore
her. And the old Spaniard implored me
patiently to examine the case, and save his
'darling Carlotta'-if possible."
"And had you seen. the young woman?"
"Not yet, no. I made general inquiries
as to the health of the rest of the family,
and found there was in the case no appar
ent hereditary difficulty. And finally I was
shown into the young lady's private apart
ment. By Jove, my friend, she was beau
tifuL You shall se her, by the way, anon.
I will introduce you."
"Thank you," I said. "Then she still
lives?"
"You shall see. Pon't anticipate me,"
said the doctor briskly.
"I say, immediately on entering her
beautiful boudoir, I saw that she was a
splendid creature, though she occupied an
invalid's chair, and was pale and reduced
in flesh. There was, however, an ivory
clearness in her complexion, a ravishing
fire in her rich, dark eye, and a classic
beauty in her handsome features, which at
sight greatly interested me ; and I said to
myself, I will earnestly try to save this poor
creature from premature death.
"And as I sat down beside her. really
my heart beat audibly. I confess it. I took
her small, delicately-rounded wrist in my
hand, and consulted her pulse with more
than ordiuary interest, and some trepida
tion, as she looked languidly but pleasantly
ia my face, and said, 'Doctor, do' you think
you can aid me?'
"We were alone. She propounded this
question as if she would intimate in the ex
pression that my predecessors had died and
failed. And while she thus smiled I obser
ved that she exhibited two brilliant rows of
pearly teeth, that were by no means the
least, attractive feature in her beautiful and
intelligent face. I found the young lady's
pulse was fitful and feverish, and I ques
tioned her as to symptoms. Shs :nro-med
me that her trouble, whatever it was, eeem
ed to be a nervous affection. She frequent
ly experienced spasmodic and acute pain
in the face and head, and would faint and
fall like an epileptic. Then .extreme 'dull
ness would succeed, physically and men
tally ; she was really discouraged, . she
said.
"With my practice as a physician I had
long before united that of a dentist ; and I
knew well how sensitive and delicate were
the nervous combinations of the face, and
esneciallv thrise of the teeth. I asked the
iatient many questions, and finally intero-
gated her closely as to the apparent neu
ralgic affections she had fo frequently ex
perienced in her head and jaw. She had
no reason to complain of her teeth ; she said
they were perfectly sound.
"I examined them, however, with pro
fessional care. Finally, taking from my
coat-pocket a small operating dental instru
ment, I scanned each tooth, and rapped it
lightly as I passed along. As I did tbis,
the youthful senora did not flinch until I
struck the molar beyond one of the eye-
teeth, when, to my consternation and sur
prise, she suddenly sprang op, and, with a
sharp sigh, fell forward stpselesi at my
feet.
"A." you may well conceive, I was alarm
ed for an instant, but quickly raising ' her
form upon the divan at the side of the room
I repeated the rap upon this tooth, which,
like the rest, was to all appearance perfect ;
and I found, though respiration had tem
porarily ceased, the effect of the simple jar
upon the tooth produced a result upon the
atient like that of a galvanic shock almost
the girl starting violently and struggling
in my hands with fearful spasms at each
repeated stroke against the jaw.
'Assuming the responsibility of my pro
fession rnd position, therefore, and believ
ing that the mystery of .her illness was in
some way connected with the facial nerves
I quickly resolved to try an experiment to
relieve her, at least temporarily. And ta
king the forceps from my dental pocket-case,
applied them to what I deemed the offen
ding tooth, and instantly removed it from
the jaw while she lay apparentty insensible
upon the couch. '
"And what was the result t I asked.
"In a moment she came to consciousness,
and placing her hand on her foiehead, she
nquired, "Where am I? Ah, dector, what
have you done ?" And then, missing one
of her teeth, she said, "What have you
done ?" And I briefly replied that 1 tho t
had solved the mystery of her illness.
"Upon the side of this tooth, which was
perfect, there adhered a bit of ' straw, or
what seemed to be a diminutive sharp splin
ter of-hard grained wood, perhaps three-
eights of and inch in length, and not larger
than a cambric needle in I circumference,
which had been plainly forced up acciden-1
tally, and to her unconsciously, months pre
. . .. . T
viously, through the gum, and which pene
trated to the foot of the tooth, near the
connection where it enters the jaw. And
there it remained to fret and chafe, one of
the most delicately sensitive points in the
head, until further forbearance with it was
too much for the poor sufferer's physical
strength."
"Well, did this operation cure her?"
"Not instantly. But this trivial matter
was the really mysterious causeof her pin
ing illness evidently ; for in ten days after
my first visit she was calm as you and I now
are, and very soon she entirely recovered,
as her spirits revived."
"And old Rabino? What did he say to
yonr treatment?
"He was delighted, and frankly offered
me anything I would ask for a enumera
tion. He sent mo a score of doubloons at
once, as an earnest of his good intentions,
and blazoned my success abroad among his
hosts of friends directly. I soon beiame
famous, aud my rooms for a time ware be
sieged with invalids whose ills had been of
short or long duration, and whom neither
my skill nor that of those who had made
attempts on these incurables can ever re
lieve of their manifold complaints. Still.
the consequence of all was that I sprang at
oicc into notoriety, and made a splendid
and remunerative practice; and I have now
a very comfortable competency, as well as a
prospective good business."
"I congratulate you, doctor. But what
became of the lady ?"
"O, Senora Carlotta? I had almost for
gotten to say that when I found she was
rapidly improving, I ought to have discon
tinued my professional visits ; but father
nor mother would listen to this. Not until
the young lady had entirely recovered did
I cease to visit the fine old ranche daily.
And finally, my dear friend, when the fair
Senora had resumed her health, I
claimed the remuneration for my servi
ces. "Of course you did. You earned it."
"And what do you think I finally deman
ded?' .
"That I could not guess at we profes
sional gentlemen are usually so modest," I
said ; "and especially when successful."
"Well," he continued, "I arranged the
affair first with Senora Carlotta, and then I
demanded her hand in marriage of old 11a
bino." "You did."
"I did ; and made her my wife, of
course."
Married?" I exclaimed "Then you
are no longer a bachelor?"
No, my old chum. We have been mar
ried over a year."
And ten minutes afterward I was intro
duce to one of the prettiest women I ever I
set eys on in my life.
"l'ou are a lucky fellow, doctor," I said
to my friend, at parting with him. "It I
could turn my humble talents to a similar
good account, I reclly believe I would no
louger lead the life of a bachelor myself."
"Well, ray friend," he replied, "take the
advice of one of the happiest men alive,
and get married."
"Thank you, doctor; I will think of it."
And I left him one of the jolliest and most
fortunate men in existence.
His fortune by his wife was ample, and
his professional business continued the very
best for years.
He is now reckoned among the "solid
men" in California, and his lovely wife is
one of the most accomplished and beautiful
of her sex, while both are warmly beloved
and respected by the large social circle who
enjoy their society and confidence.
A country pedagogue had two pupils, to
one of whom he was partial and to the other
severe. One morning it happened that
these two boys were late, and were called up
to account for it.
"You most have heard the bell, boys,
why did you not come?"
"Please, sir," said the favorite, "I was
dreatnin' that I was goin' to Californy, and
I thought the school-bell was the steamboat
bell, as I was goin' in."
: "Very well," said the master, glad of any
pretext to excuse his fuworite. "And now,
siri' turning to the other, "what have you
to say r
"Please, sir," said the puzzled boy, "I
I was waiting to see Tom off!"
An enterprising land speculator in Kansas
in order to induce farmers to emigrate to
that State, tells the following: "I have seen
four or five men on a long lever raising a
a sweet potato out of the ground, and other
men were up on step ladders cutting off the
ears of corn with hatchets. He snpposes it
was n that country where, when they wish
to make a cistern, they plant a beet seed and
in the fall they pull out the beet, with a
stump machine, and the cistern is ready for
use." " .
A barrister entering the court with his
wig very much awry, was obliged to endure
a round of remarks on its appearance. At
last, addressing Mr. Curan, he asked: "Do
you see anything ridiculous in this wig?"
"Nothing but the head," replied the wit.
If you are a wise man, you will treat the
world aa the moon treats it. Show it only
one side of yourself, seldom show yourself
too much at a time, and let what you show
be calm, cool and polished. . But look at
every side of this world.
Charles Dickens says, there is nothing
beautiful and good that dies andrgia forgot
ten. An infant, a prattling child,' a youth
well taught, will live again in the better
thoughts of those who loved it, and will
play its part, though its body be burned to
ashes or drowned in the deepest sea. There
is not an angel added to the hosts of heaven
but does its blessed work on earth in those
that loved it here. ..-.',
Three Esses.
I have three kisses in my life,
8 sweet and saered unto me
That now. till death dews rest on them,
St j lips shall kfulesi be. -
One kiss was gives in the childhood's hour,
hj one who never gave nother,-
In life and death I still shall feet
That last kiss of mj mother.
The second but ned my lips for years.
l'or years my wild heart reel'd in bliss
At everj memory of the hour
When my lipsfelt young Lore's first kiss.
. The last Kiss of the sacred three
Had all the woe which e'er can move
The heart of woman it was pressed
Upon the death lips of my love.
When lips have felt the dying kiss.
And feit the kiss nf burning love.
And kissed the dead then never more
In kissing should they think to move.
A Boarder's Protest.
I loathe! abhor! detest! despise'
Abominate dried-apple pies ;
I like good bread. 1 like good ment.
Or anything that's fit to eat ;
frnt of all poor grub beneath the skies,
The poorest is dried-apple pics ;
(live me the toothache or sore eyes
In preference to suoh kind of pies.
The farmers take their gnarliest fruit,
'l is wormy, bitter, and hard to boot ;
' They leave the hulls to make us cough,
Aad don't tare half the peeling off.
Then on a dirty eord they're strung.
And from some chamber wiudow bung;
And there they serve a roost for flies
Until they're ready to make pies ;
Tread on my corns, or tell me lies.
Hut don't pass me dried-apple pies.

The Rock of Moses at Mount Sinai.
The following important letter from Rev.
H..N. Wallaston, of Melbourne, appears in
tho London Standard. The subject is of
intense interest to the Jews: "Those of
your readt rs who have had the opportunity
of visiting the renitisula of Sinai will re
member that, about two miles up the Wady
El Leja, which runs along the northwest
base of the Horeb group of mountain heads
there lies an isolated, irregular cube of
coarse red granite, which. hasxvihintlyfali
len from the roof above, and which the
monks and Bedouins declare is the identical
r 'ck in Horeb' which Moses smote, and of
which 1 e hrought a stream of fresh water to
supply the Israelitish host at Rephidim.
In confirmation of the fact, they draw your
attention to what is evidently a stain of
softer and finer granite running through ihe
whole mass, which presents a weather-worn
appearance. This, they say, was caused by
the action of the miraculous stream of wat
er, and that the several horizontal cracks or
fissures, in it are the marks of Moses' rod.
Although no intelligent man believes a word
of their silly legend, yet this stone has been
regularly shown and visited by travelers for
centuries as 'MoJcs' rock,. no one apparent
ly even supposing it possible that there
could be any other 'rock in the vicinity
which, from its character and position,
would fulfill the conditions ot 'the rock in
Horeb," referred to in Exodus xvii. It is
to the existence, and I thiuk also to the
discovery of such a 'rock,' that I would
through your columns draw the attention of
the past an 1 future travelers to that inter
esting region. On the northeastern face of
Mount Sinai (Jabel Sufsafeh), in the Wady
Shubcib, at the head of which stands the
Convent of St. Catharine and close to
'Aaron's hill,' is a protruding mass of rock,
about 50 feet in diameter,, much water aud
weather worn, and presenting a smooth and
striking appearance. It forms a portion of
the solid granite cliff, which rises 1,200 feet
above it. Ia the lower part of this protu
tuberance is a fissure of a semi-circular or
rather horse shoe shape, about four feet
long and four inches wide. Out of this fis
sure, inside of which a small shrub is grow
ing, runs a perpetual stream of the purest
spring water, clear as crystal, and of deli
cious coolness and flavor, which according
to the testimony of the Arabs, has never
ben known to fail. The water thus flowing
out of the very heart of the living rock of
Sinai is received into an artificial basin ;
thence it descends to a succession of small
and rudely constructed terraces, where the
Bedouins cultivate a few fruit trees and
vegetables. When the stream is large, it
must run down the Wady Esh Sheikh,
which is the only Wady which runs down
the hill lrom Mount Sinai the others run
ning up hill to the base of that mountain.
The trees and terraces prevent the "latter
from being visible from the usual camping
ground ot travelers, and can only be seen
by climbing up oyer the terraces to it.
Were all these artifk'ial obstructions remov
ed the fissures would probably be bix or
seven feet from the ground at the base of
the natural cliffy which here is nearly pur
pendicular. This is the fountain from
which ali travelers who camp under Sinai
obtain their supply of water; but, as it is
out of sight and the water is always; drawn
and brought to camp by natives, who are as
ignorant as they are poor, it appears entire
ly to have escaped their notice. Could this
have been the real 'rock in Horeb' of the
Scripture history ? If llephidim was situ
ated some miles down the Wady Esh
Sheikh, where Robinson places it,- and
where from the sacred narrative it probably
was, then Moses with the elders of Israel
ascended Esh Sheikh to the 'Mount of God,'
and there directly facing him at the head of
the valley, was this rock fountain with
which he was, probably, already familiar,
from his former long residence in this vicin
ity, and from which now by God's command
he drew forth an abundant stream ot water.
which, nourine down the Wadv. would in
a fbort time reach the Israelitish camp at
Kephidim? -
A Curious Tribe.
The following, relating to a non-nomadie
(not roving) tribe of Indians, is condensed
from a lengthy account published in tho
Desert Xeics, and will be read with interest
by all :
The Moquis Indians are interesting as an
exhibit of the degree of civilization attaina
ble by savage tribes.uncVr compulsion. Or
iginally a numerous people, occupying both
sides of the Colorado river, other Indian
tribes conquered and deceminated them, till
in self defense the remnant about 3,000
etr mg located in six village?, capable from
their position of easy defense. Their tradi
tions place the camping grounds of their an
cestors along the south-west sea coast of the
United States and Mexico, so that oossiblv
their progenitors may have been akin to the
Aztecs and others of that date, who exhibit
ed greater capacity for civilization than any
Indians of the present day. Their relieion
cannot be called strictly idolatrous, since the
images they have are merely symbolical.
Their deity is calUd "Tow-wau-e na" or
Sun Father, and now resides in the heavens,
from thence disuensing unto nis faithful
and well beloved the blessings of life, riin
and faithful seasons, and punishing all oth
ers by visiting upon them his anger. ..
Their sacred temple ia also the chief work
shop of the village, and contains a rude stone
symbol of their deity. The figure is adorn
ed with costly heads, feathers, and sacred
shells relics of their forefathers. In front
of it were wooden figures of all kinds -of
domestic fowles, painted and adorned to im
itate nature. Corn aud water are placed be
fore the fuwls, and at their sides are hung
the skins of wild beasts, that of the fox, as
more Facrcd than others, predominating.
In their cetemonial worship men form in
rows in front of their image, and. Shaker
like, speak and sing praises, accompanied by
the music of rude instruments. The women
join with the men in only one religious cere
mony. In the centre of the village is a pub
lie square, within which is a stone alter,
where sacrifices of food are laid on holy
days. Around this alter the men dance in
rotation, and .during the ceremony the old
men and women of the village sprinkle pinch
es of holy meal on the backs of the dancers,
and then scatter a little to the four winds of
heaven. Astronoaiically, they believe that
the sun shines for them alone, and rises by
the little Spanish town of Planea, and sets
by golng'lnto a hole near New-at-ki-be. the
San Francisco mountain of the whites. They
are gpod and careful agriculturists, produce
largo quantities of fine peaches, and raise
domestic animals of all kinds. They also
grew cotton, with it and wool manufacturing
their own clothing, which is of a very ser
vicable quality.
In public work of any kind all the able
bodied men and women join, and are direct
ed by two "co che-nas" men dressed like
clowns and in complete disguise, who carry
whips and lassos, using them upon loiterers
and delinquents with terrible severity. Their
buildings are of stone, laid in a kind of clay
mortar, and have no doors, but are entered
by ascending ladders to the roofs and then
descending from within. A witness describes
their marriage ceremonies as follows :
'.'In the morning the interested parties
breakfasted in the workship to which the
bridegroom belonged, tfter which, the man
ufacture of a new pair of blankets was com
menced out of the purest white material ob
tainable. The parties ate their dinner in
the second, and then supper in the ' third
story of the father's house. The pair of
blankets were not completed until the second
day. During tbis time the bridegroom and
bride were put into a private room, where
they were required to bathe each other in
pure cold water, as a witness that they were
pure, healthy.' and fitted for the cares and
responsibilities of the married state. The
happy pair occupy the new blankets on the
second night."
Their amusements are principally confin
ed to foot racing. ' The race course is a foot
trail some ten or twelve milss in circuit.
Another feature is the competitive kicking
of a piece of cement and hair up certain
steep and crooked 6teps. One of their in
struments of warfare, by a singular coinci
dence, is almost identical with the "Boom
erang" used by the natives .of Oceanica.
With this missile strong men wiTl break the
skull of a man or the leg of an antelope at
the distance of from one hundred and fifty
to two hundred yards. When a person is
given up to die, his under jaw, the back of
his hands and the upper part of the feet are
colored black, and friends begin to mourn as
though death were already present. A corpse
is dretsed like the living, a blanket wrapped
around the head and shoulders and a string
tied round the neck. A grave is dug sever
al feet deep and walled within with stone,
into which the body is placed in a sitting
posture, A pole long enough to extend two
feet above the ground is placed between the
legs, and around it the arms are folded.
Wrapped up in the bosom of the dead is
a loaf of bread and a bowl of water. The
grave Ls securely covered with earth and the
surface around the pole ornamented with
pebbles. They believe that the spirit of a
good person first goes to the Sun Father and
then travels down the pole on its homeward
way to the body.'-These Indians are regard
ed as friendly, and are entirely self-supporting.
They no longer live a nomadic life, but
like the patriarchs of oH, have settled down
in the midst of their flocks and herbs. Sev
eral of Brigham Young's followers have vis
ited them, aiming to impart a higher degree
of (Mormonic) civilization. It is from the
story of one of his elders who dwelt with
them for three months as a hostage that we
gleam what we are told.

THE KIDNEYS.
The Kidneys are twoin number, situated at the
upper part ot the' loin, surrounded by fat. and
contesting of three parts, vis: the Anterior, the
Interior, and the Exterior.
The anterior absorba Interior consists of tis
sues or veins, which serve as a deposit for the
urine and convey it to the xterier. The exte
rior is a conductor also, terminating hi a single
tube, and called the Ureter. The ureters are con
nected with the bladder.
The bladder is composed of varies coverings
or tissues, divided into parts, via: the Upper, the
Lower, the Nervous, and the Mucous. The upper
expels, the lower retains. Many bave a deaire to
urinate without the ability, others urinate with
out the ability to retain. Tbia frequently occurs
in children.
To cure these affections, we must bring Into ac
tion the maseles, which are engaged in their va
rious functions. If they ere neglected, Gravel or
Dropsy may ensue.
The reader must also be made aware, that how
ever slight may be the attack, it is sure to affect
the bodily health and mental powers, as our flesh
nd blood are supported from these sources.
Goi-t, or Rhei uathm Ptin occurring in the
loins is indicative of the above diseases. They
occur in persons disposed to acid stomach and
chalky concretions.
Toe Gravel The grave ensues from neglect
or improper treatment of the kidneys ' These or
gans being weak, tbe water is not expelled from .
the bladder, but allowed to remain; it becomes
feverish, and sediment forms. It ia from tbis de
posit tbat the stone is formed, and gravel ensues.
Ditorsr is a collection of water in some parts of
the body, and bears'different names, according to
the parts affected, vii: when generally diffused
over the hody.it is called Anssa'rca; when of the
Abdomen. Ascites; when of the ohest, Uydrotho
rsx. . Treatvext. Hclmbold'i highly concentrated
compound Extract Bueba is decidedly one of the
best remedies for diseases of the bladder, kidneys,
gravel, d ropsical swellings, rheumatism ,and gouty
affections. Under this bead we have arranged
Dysurie, or difficulty and pain in passing water,
Scanty Secretion, or small and frequent dischar
ges of water; Strangury, or stopping of water;.
Hematuria, or bloody mine; Gout and Rheuma
tism of tbe kidneys, without r u
tity, but increase in color.er dark water. It was
always highly recommended by the lata Dr.
Physick, in these affections.
This medicine increases the power of digestion
and excites the absorbents into healthy exercise
by which th watery or calcareous depositions
and all unnatural enlargements, aa well aa paia
and inflammation are reduced, and it is taken by
men, women and children. Directions Tor nse and
diet accompany.
Philadelphia, Pa., Io?. 25, 1867.
H. T, Helvbolo, Druggist;
Dear Sir: I bave been a sufferer, for upward
of twenty years, with gravel, bladder and kidney
affections, during which time I have used various'
medicinal preparations, and been under the treat
ment of tbe most eminent Physicians, experien
cing but little relief
Having seen your preparations extensively ad
vertised, I eonsulted with my family physician in
regard to ostng your Extract Bucbu.
I did tbis because I had used all kinds of ad
vertised remedies, and had found them worthless,
and aome quite injurious; in fact, I despaired of
ever getting well, and determined to use no rem
edies hereafter unless I knew of th ingredients.
It was this tbat prompted me to use your remedy.
As you advertised tbat it was composed of buohu,
cubebs and juniper berries, it occurred to me and
my physician aa an excellent combination, and,
uitb his advice, after an examination of th arti
cle, and consulting again with th druggist, I
concluded to try it. I commenced its nse about
eight months ago, at which time I was confined
to my room From the Erst bottle I was astonish
ed and gratified at the benefioial effect and after
using it three weeks was able to walk out, I felt
much like wrilingyou a full statement of my cas
at that time, but thought my improvement might
only be temporary, and therefor concluded to
defer and see if it would effect a perfect cure,
knowing then it would beof greater value to you,
and more satisfactory to me
I am now able to report that a ear is effected
after using the remedy for five mouths.
.1 baTjQ not used any now for three months, aad
feel as avail in all tespecta as I ever did.
Your Bucku being devoid of any pnpleasant
taste and odor, a nice tenia acd invigoratorof th
system, I do not mean to be without it whenever
occasion may require its us in such affections.
