THE OLD COTTAGE CLOCK. ,
Oh, the old. old clock, of the household stock
Wat the brightest thing and neJlest ;
Iu hands, though old, hd a touch of gold.
And iu chime rang Btill the sweetest:
Teas a monitor loo, though its words were fer
Tet they lived, though Nations alter'd :
And its voice. Mill strong, warn'd old and young,
Wnen the voice of friendship falter d !
Tick, tick, it said ; quick, quick, to bed ;
For ten I've given warning ;
Cp up and go or else, you know.
You'll never use soon in the morning.
A friendly voice was that old, old clock,
As it stood in the corner smiling,
And bless'd the time, with a merry chim,
The wintry boors beguiling :
But a errs old voice was the tiresome clock
At it call'd at day-break boldly,
When the dawn look'd grey, o'er the misty way.
And the early air blew coldly !
Tick, tick, tick, it said ; quick. out of bed,
For five I've given warning ;
You'll never have health, you'll never get wealth,
Unless you're up iu the morning !
Etill hourly the sound goes round and round,
With a tone that ceases never ;
While tears are shed for the bright days fled,
.nl the uld friends lost for ever '.
It heart beats on though hearts are guce
Thai warmet beat und younger;
Its hands still move though hands we love
Are clasped on earth no Linger !
Tu'k, tick, it raid to tho churchyard bed ;
The grave halb given warning.
l"p np and rife to the angal skios
Acd enter a heavenly morning !
TWICE MISTAKE!!.
A Leaf From a Bachelor's Diary.
Christmas eve. Half at nine. Crumms
comes into my room to clear away tea.
"I suppose, eir," bo says, as though it
were a suKject not admitting of a doubt.
"I suppose you don't diue home to
morrow." Both the tone and the remark are nn
firrtnnara. I have not an invitation to dine
tint, and I caiiuot insist upon dining at
home, 'fcs my arrangement with the
Crummses provides for dinner on Sundays
only. I had intended to put my difficulty
to my landlady, who is good natured and
easily persuaded. I find, instead, I have
her litihand to deal with. w I close my
book slowly and say, "Well," ad if I were
thinking and not quite certain.
"Most pentk-nicn dine out on Christmas
day," he t-ays. staring at, the wall some feet
Love my head : "ami Mrs. Crumms always
expects a holiday on tlu'f day."
I feel, after that statement, llrenn'y thiuj?
to be done is to surrender srracf fully.
''Of course; juite riphL Oh yes I I
hall dine out, Crumms."
I rin the hell for some hot water an
Crumms angers it in full waiter's dr?s?,
white tie. drvs coat, snJ a low-ortt waist
coat, fhowiog a large amount of shirt front
with an elaborate frill, lie walks Into the
room as if he is very proud of hiiriseif, and
ii more waiter-like in his manner than
usiril.
'"Whr, Crumtns," I a.-k, "nhSre arfi yott
P)!M??"
"Out waitine. fir." ITe paua for a
minute, then Lccnrtrs less majestic arid
i!:ore c-.rC iential. "I always po out wait-
ii i o: Ch.-isUn-u diy," he adds, 'and I j
have L 0:2 to the same hou?c. for tho last
fourteen years. The pen'leinan and lady j
pro a couple as came to Crown at Newford
the yoar I married Mrs. Crumuis. We
wore ! oth at the hotel, you know, and Were
ju-t !i-ayir.r to conic up here. The lady
t.w.k a pr. at liliin to Mrs. Crumms, and
ont day she said to me, "So you and your
wife are poing up to London, Crunims. Now
yoj must come and wait at mv house when
we want help." And I hare been thereev-
ry ( 'hristmasday ince then, not missed one.
I :n nn other days," he says this quickly.ia
an offhand manner, as if the other days
wtre of no importance "but they ain't
t'-eular." .
"You go there and help wait, I sitp
I -se?"
"Well, I do most of the waiting ; all of
it. you may say," he says. "They don'l
krep a man, and there are only the female
servants. They ain't much good, not like
Mrs. Crunims. She could wait, she could.
Hip wa. wonderful handy. That's what
first nude me look at her 1',
"And where do you po to?" I inquire.
"IkiiforJ Square. IXitnvillc is the gen-
nian's name."
On the !pur of the moment, just to see
iiat Crumms will say, I ask, '"Will you
tike me with you to-day?''
"You, sir!" he replies, in surprise.
"We 1 really, Mr, I don't think Mr. Pom
v.I'e would though I have known him
'he-e fourteen years, I'm afraid he'd think
it rather presumptous of rue to introduce a
fut'etuan into his house!"
"I suppose eo," I answer; the idea of
the waiter introducing a friend as a puest at
dinner being very absurd. "But I didn't
mosn that. Take me with yon to wait."
''i ou f yon go waiting?" said be, holding
his breath.
'"Yes, if you'll take me,"
"Well, I do call that a good joke," he
arw3 out. "Lord, sir, what an idea!"
Then dropping his waiter like manner alto
tether, and becoming thoroughly human,
he burst out laughing.
I haJ only intended to chaff Crumms,bnt
n strikes me that going out with littn will
le rn-Te lively than spehdinp Chris'mas day
4 myseif, and I begin to hope that he will
take me.
"I dare say Mr. Doniv.l'.e would have no
objection to an extra hand," I urge, "aud I
"uld go as a young friend of yours, who is
just beginning and wants to learn the busi
ness." "Lord, sir,' pants Crumms again, "you
ain't serious?"
"By Jove, I am, though," I say. "I
don'l know what to do with myself all day.
I should like to go out waiting."
"But you will be careful, sir, won"t you ?"
says Crumms, yielding. "You won't let
Mr. Doraville know. There isn't any one
likely to be there as will recognize you, I
hope."
Tliree o'clock. Crumms and 1 are in the
cab on our way to Bedford Square. The
whole time he is either laughing at my go
ing out with him or nervous as to the re
sult. In the latter mood he is almost pite
ous in his entreaties to me to be careful, and
repeats over and over again Lis directions
how to wait. We stop the cab at the cor
ner of the street leading to the square, and
walk on to the house.
It is a big house with a large hall, "there
are three servants going about with trays
acd piles of plates, busy laying out the ta
ble. They stare at me as I stand by the
side of Crumms, and he introduces me as a
young friend wLo wants to see a little geft
.cel waiting, and whom he has made bold
enough to bring. Then, as if that settled
the matter, he goes off into business, and
asks several questions as to the number and
names of the guests. I notice that the ser
vants all treat him with greet respect, and
he, in return, is condescending and polite to
them. With me, n hen they ar in the
room, he assumes an authoritative air, and
all the time he is very grave, and looks as
if the cares of Lis position were too much
for him. lie smiles onee, when We are
alone, as I hand him a jelly ; and then, his
muscles being relaxed, hsi- old fit of laugh
ing suddenly broke out again. He cannot
laugh loud, but laughs inwardly, and shakes
so tremendously that the jelly rolls and
trembles to an alarming degree; and it is
only by the means of taking it promptly un-d-jr
my own protection, that I save it from
being shaken on the floor.
"O Lor' ! to think of you being here."
he mutters ; and the next instant is gravity
itself, as Mrs. Domville's voice is heard on
the stairs.
She is a middle aged lady, and speaks in
a friendly manner to Crumms, and is par
ticular in her inquiries after his wife and
children. He points me out as a young
friend of his, who has come to help liiru ;
and. Mrs. Iotuville seems quite satisfied,
and goes up stairs again to the drawing
room. Kuur o'clock. The dinner is ready and
all the guests have arrived. Crumms sta
tions me behind the door, and goes himself
to the itead of the table, and I watch the
people as they come into the room and take
their places.
They are mostly middle-aged like their
host end hostess, and evidently old friends;
for several red to Crumms, and one gentle
man is quite hearty iu his, greeting, and
says it would not seem like a Christmas
dinner without him. Mr. Docit ille laughs
and asks after Mrs. Crumms; bo: Crumms
refuses trt be thawed, and replies in a tone
as if such trifling questions interfered with
the responsibility.
So far everything has pone right. Then
conies a'slight mishap. Just as everybody
is seated and silent, and Mr. Douiville is
going to say grace, Crumms gives me a sig
nal, I step forwtrd quietly to close the
door. The movement attracts the attention
of a young lady, who is sitting frith Ler
back to me, and sh-tnirns round. She evi
dently has not noticed me before, and her
laughing gray eyes scan me with surprise.
My face is a new one among the many well
known faces round the table. I. suppose
she thinks 1 am a gnest who has arrived
late and just come into the room, and, See
ing me standing there and no one taking
any notice of me, she says, very cour
teously :
'"In't there a chair for you?" Then
turning to Mrs. Domville, "O, aunt! here
is a gentleman left outside in the cold."
Mr. Domville, instead of saying grace,
looks up, stares, and half rises from his
chair, while the company all torn toward
me. It is certainly an embarrassing mo
ment ;. but Mrs. Domville comes to the res
cue and says quietly, "It is quite right,
Helen." The young lady looks It little con
fused, and Crumms spoils everything by
rushing up to her and calling out :
"He's Come to help me wait, Miss Lin
ton." My fair champion thereupon blushes very
deeply, and begs my pardon ; several of the
guests have simultaneous twitchings of the
mouth ; Crumms looks half angry, half
apologeti.ally, at me ; and at last Mr. Dom
vilie, in a husky voice, says grace, while
Miss Linton bends her head very low and
hides her face. The next minute Crumms,
serious and imperturbable as ever, removes
the cover off the soup, and dinner begins.
1 believe I acquitted myself creditably.
Crumms declared that I did wonderfully
well, and is inclined to thinV, I believe.that,
I have wasted natural ta'ent by not being a
waiter. At any rate, I don't spill anything
over anybody's dress, or knock anybody on
the head. I carefully watch Crumms for
his signals, and, thanks to having been to a
dinner before, though not in the capacity of
a wai'er, I have some idea of whit ought
to bo done, and so remove the right covers,
and hand round sueh dishes as ought to be
handed at the proper time. The difficulty
I have is to keep my countenance, particu
larly when I hand anything to Miss Linton.
She is so bright-looking, and it is such fun
to see the sparkle in her eyes, and the way
they drop if they meet mine, and a little
repressed smile steal over her lip, that it
taxes my powers to the utmost to keep
from laughing. I feel that I should very
much like to change places with the young
fellow sitting by her side. ITe does not
seem to have much to say for himself, and
he examines every dish, as it is handed to
him, through an eye-class. Ilia inspection
is so long and his nose so close, that I have
a growing inclination each time to bob the
dish up in his face. For more than half
the dinner he is silent, then he talks a little
politics staunch Conservatism and Miss
Linton immediately enunciate3 the strong
est radical principles, upholds woman's suf
frage, and their having scats in Parliament.
This seems to overwhelm him, and he re
tires from the contest with a sigh.
Later on, he tries again, when the mince
pies are being handed round.
"Will you have a happy month?" he
asks, with a faint smile, which disturbs his
eye glass and brings it down in his lap. He
readjusts it sloWly, and not trusting him
self to repeat the joke, asks her to have
some mince pie.
"No, thank you ; I never eat them," she
replies.
"Have ycd never tasted them ?" frown
ing as if he Kad been a barrister cross-examining
a witness, but probably because his
glass give a premonitory slip.
"0, yes. I have tasted them, but I don't
Care S be tit them." she answered.
He has no comment to make upoo her
reply, so he helps himself in silence.
Six o'clock. Crumms and I solemnly put
on the wine and the glasses, put the dessert
dishes a little one way or the other, and
leave the room.
"BrBtoI" whispered Crumms when we
are in the hall. "Bravo, sir 1 With a little
teaching you'd make a capital waiter. And
Miss Linton mistaking you for a gentleman,
too ! What a joke 1 At least," he adds.as
if he suddenly feels that he had niadc rath
er a mistake himself, "of course, that is
what you are, end a gent is always a gent, I
say. But you understand, sir. It was so
ludicrous. There ain't anything more for
you to do, and I can say you've gut an ap
pointment to keep, you know."
Acting upon his advice, we go vp stairs
to the hall, and Crumms lets me out, shut
ting the door very quietly behind me.
It is a titie clear tiight, and I turn my face
homeward, and stroll slowly along the deser
ted square. I go all up the long, straight
Gowerstraet without meeting aty cue. . By
the University I see a figure advenciug
quickly. We pass under a gas lamp, and
both pull up.
"Herbert, by Jove !"
"Why, Koche, what are you doing here?
Going out to dinner?"
"Ju.st hait it.'' he rni.l'ies ; "been to Se
an old lady home."
He then naturally wonders what I am do
ing strolling along the streets on Christmas
night. I tell hitu I have been out to din
ner.
They have broken up very early," he
says ; and then asks suddenly, "You haven't
sneaked off to read, surely?"
This is said in a tone as if it were a more
tal sin for a man to read for an examination
on a Christmas day.
"That's right," he says, when I had dis
claimed any idea of reading. "Well, you
come home with me. My people will be
very glad to see you. We always have a
carpet dance or something in the evening."
I accept readily, and go back with Koche
to his house.
i7c o'clock. We have cleared the room
for dancing, and the first quadrille has just
commenced. Not being able to get a part
ner, I am standing on the landing, when a
carriage rolls up to the street door.and there
is a loud knock, announcing the arrival of
new comers.
Mrs. Roche hurries down and meets them
in the hall. I hear her say, as they come
up stairs. "You are just too late for thtf first
dance, II lcn."
The ndtiie quite makes me start.
"By Jove, if it should be Miss Linton 1"
is my muttered thought.
1 half hope it may be ; I half hope it
may not be ; and I haven't lime to decide
which half is the stronger, before Miss
Linton herself coines laughing up the stairs.
At the very first glimpse of her, I in
stinctively drew back itJto the shade, and
she and her mamma pass by without notice
ittg me.
It settiis very ridiculous to meet the same
young lady twice in one evening, first as a
waiter, and then as a guest ; biit there it
is done, it is fait accompli ; and Miss Linton
and I are once more 3hder the same roof.
I wonder if she will recognize me, and I
watch her with interest as she goes round
the room. Sooner or later we must meet
face to face; and the awkward moment
comes sooner than I expect.
When Miss Linton reaches the door where
Roche is standing with his partner, she
stops there and talks to them when they are
not dancing.
"Is there any lemonade, Edward?" she
asks presently. "I want some if there is."
"There's a bad sign, Nelly, after dioftig
out," he answers with S lavJgh. ''There is
some down stairs. I would get you a class,
but you see it is my turn. If you don't
mind you will find somebody outside, I
think."
Roche leads off with the third figure ;
Miss Linton comes out upon the landing;
and I move from the shadow of the wall in
to the light.
She gives a quick start with her head and
opeus her eyes in surprise as she sees me.
There is just a little tightening of her lips,
a faint blush rises to her lips, and then she
asks me ouietly urfetcb ber a glass of lem
onade. "
Roche had Said it was down stairs, and I
find it in the dining rcord. I am rathar
glad of the excuse to get away and have tny
laugh out ; for the whole thing is more and
more absurd, since Miss Linton has made a
second mistake, and thinks I am a waiter.
It is a very natural error, of course ; and to
keep up the deception, I put the glass on a
tray and go gravely up stairs.
She is quite composed now, ami thanks
me unconcernedly as I hand her the lemon
ade. Then we stand side by side I hold
ing the tray in both hands till the dance
finishes, and Roche come out to lis.
"Have you got your lemonade?" he asks
"That's right. Now you want a partner
for the next dance. Who shall it be ? I
am engaged till after supper, unfortunately.
O, here ! Let roe introduce ybu. Miss
Linton, Mr. 1"
Instead of waiting to hear my name, the
young lady puts down the glass quickly and
looks indignant.
"Don't be absurd, Edwar4!" she says.as
she walks off.
"Some mistake, old fellow." whispers
Roche to me, and catches her up just inside
the room.
They are eo close I can hear what they
say.
"What is the matter, Nelly?" he asks.
"How could you be so ridiculous as to in
troduce me to him?" she replies.
"Why shouldn't I?"
"Why shouldn't you ? lie is a Waiter;
I know that. lie tas waiting at Mrs. Ddih
ville's."
Instead of looking contrite, Roche goes
eff into a roar of laughter.
"It was very stupid of you," she says,
half crossly. "It forced me to be ?udo to
him."
"What nonsense, Nelly ! I shouldn't
play you such a trick as that, of course.
That is Herbert; he is in the same office as
lam."
"YotJ are not jokir:?, Edwari, are you?"
she asks him quite seriously.
"No : upon iny word, I am not."
"O, I am so sorry, then," she says, ioi
niediately. "But there was semebody just
like him at tLe Domvilles'. What shall I
do?".
"Come and he intfoduesd, that's all. I'll
put it right." and they came together on to
the landing.
"My cousin made a mistake, Herbert,"
he says, while she stands by hini; blushing !
deeply. Then he adds, laughing, "She
mistook you for a "
"I made a mistake";" she breaks in, very
quickly, coming a step nearer. "I beg your
pardon."
To save her frorri fiirtW embarrassment,
I ask tier at onee for the uext d .nce; and it
is immediately granted.
"By the by, Miss Linton," I say, when
the danee is over, and we are standing on
the landing, "you have never told me what
yo j took me for. Au orgre ?"
"No."
"What, then?"
Her laughing eyes look up' vith their old
merry sparkle into my face, ihey seeni at
the same time to question me whether I
shall be annoyed if she speaks the truth.
She pauses or a moment, and then says,
"A waiter," and presses her lips closely to
gether. "Thank you."
"But it was quite excusable," she begins
h'irriedly.
"Thank you again," I remark, interrup
ting her.
"You won't listen." she says, plaintively.
"I want to explain "
"That I look so much like a waiter," I
add. breaking in again, "that it was quite
excusable taking me for one."
"O, no; I didn't mean that, of course'
she says, f)rced to laugh. "But where I
was' dining there was a waiter like you so
exactly like you," sh-j emphasizes the
word "exactly," and gUnees quickly up at
me as she loes so. "and I mistook him for
a gentleman, and thought he was one of the
guests."
"So' you make up for it by taking me for
a waiter," I answer. "Well, I think the
waiter had the best of it."
"But it wa excusable, was it not' ehe
asks, "you two being so mucK alike ?"
"You mistaking the waiter for a gentle
man ? If he was like me, certainly."
"No," with' a little stamp of her fgot ;
"my mistaking you for a waiter." .
"I can't grant that," I answer.
"Very well," she says, with a laugh.
Then she adds mischievously over her shoul
der, as her partner comes for the next dance:
"I think niy Erst mistake wai the more ex
cusable of the two."
"And I think the last by far the worst,"
I reply.
"Do you? Well, I am very sorry," she
answers ; but her eyes belie her as she goes
off laughing into the drawing room.
Fortunately I secure the dance before
supper, and tuke her down.
"You don't wnit so well as yonr double,"
she says, as I hand her some mirice pies. I
had just put them before her for a minute,
and then taken them away.
"I am sorry for that," I answer; "but
then, you see, I know yoti never eat mince
pies."
"How do you know that?" she asks.turn
ing round quickly.
"Yc'trf cousin haa told trie a great deal
about you," I reply. t
"Did he tell you, pray, that I never eat
mince pies?" .
"How should I knew, if hff did not ?" I
say, with amazed simplicity.
She looks very incredulous. "He didn't
tell you that, I know ; though I believe you
men talk a great deal of nonsense ; as much
nonsense as women do. "
"You own that about women, then, and
yet you want them to have seats in Parlia
ment?"
"O, now I am certain you must have been
at Mr. Domville's," she cries ; "for I never
said so until to-day at dinner, and then only
in opposition to my neighbor. If you Were
not there, how could you have known what
I said?"
"Do you believe in the theory. Miss Lin
ton," I bjgia, with a grave face, "of a per
son knowing, by a sort of affinity, the tho'ts
and actions ot another person whom. he has
never seen, but whom, which is permitted
to see, he is at once, by fate, most deeply
interested in ?"
"No, I don't," she replies; laughing.
"How nonsensical you are !"
Before I can go on expounding my im
promptu theory, Roche comes up and claps
me on the shoulder.
"Well, Herbert, how's Crumms?"
Roche has often been to my rooms, and
knows my landlord, of course ; but what
demon possessed him to come at this mo
ment and pronounce that fatal name, I can't
imagine.
"Bravo !" cries Miss Linton, clapping her
hands. "Now I know ; yoti went there
with Crumms."
"Went where?" aska Roche id surprise.
. "To the Domvilles'," she answers. "Mr.
Herbert was there with Crumms, waiting.
'Now' weren't you?" sha ask3, turning to,
me.
So driven up in a corner, at last I make
my confession.
"What fun 1" she says. "Won't I laugh
at macima! She read me such a lecture a
I came here. And I have not made a mis
take, after all."
"Except when you took me for a waiter,
Miss Linton."
"0. that was your own fait. I am not a
bit sorry for that now."
What Miss Linton did say to her mam
ma, of course I don't know. If she did
laugh at her, Mrs. Linton must have taken
it very good natured ly ; for when I go up
stairs, after supper, she calls me "Mr. Wait
er," and the name sticks to me for the rest
of the evening. Just as we are leaving.she
comes to me and invites me to a party at her
house on the following week.
"How shall I corrie, Miss Linton?'' I
ask, as I put cn her cloak ; as a waiter or a
guest?"
"In the capacity you think Etiits you
the best," she answers. Then she adds,
more softly, "We shall be glad to see you
in either,"
There is a farther note in ray diary for
that Christmas day something about Miss
Linton uhiuh. perhaps, it will be as well
to let remain private. But ab.iuc two years
afterward, and not so very long ago, there
was a wedding at Domville's. ' Crumms was
there to wait, and Crumms feelings had
overpowered him, and required soothing.
From being usually calm, Crumms became
unusually exeited, and was with difficulty
prevented from solemnly blessing the happy
couple, and making a speech to the effect
that the occasion was brought about by him
taking the bridegroom out waiting on a cer
tain Christmas day.
J o ICR. on A Conductor. The Rutland
(Vt.) Herald tells this story : One "day last
week a well known amateur ventriloquist
was a passenffef b'H board a Hudson River
Railrdad tar, which Was in charge of con
ductor Fales. As the tfdin proceeded the
entriloquist began the imitation of a roos
ter in a sort of "chuck-et ct-taw" stle. A
couple of repetitions brought the conductor
iuto the car in a burr", followed by the
brakeman, who insisted that the "rooster"
be taken into the baggage car, where he be
longed. Of course none of the passengers
had a "rooster" with which to accommo
date the zealous officers. The conductor
atd brakeman then waxed wroth and vowed
they would find that "rooster" anyway.
They walked up the aisle, carefully glancing
at the feet of each passenger for the basket
or parcel in which the "raoswr" was roost
ing. In the middle of the car they found a
woman with a big basket in her possession.
"Oh ! .here is the game (rooster)," said the
conductor. "Jes so' says the brakeman,
"lets put him out." The ventriloquist sat
quietly opposite, and threw his voice ap
parently into the basket "It's here, sure,"
said the conductor, and, addressing the lady,
he inquired blandly if she had any objec
tions to the removal of the basket and con
tents to the baggage car. The old lady
didn't understand thisjike at all, and think
ing it against the rule to carry a basket in
the pasenger car, permitted the conductor
to take it away. He hardly started fcr the
door when the "rooster's" voted was heard
in the rear of the car. This was too much
for conductor F., who suddenly compre
hended the joke, and quickly returning the
old lady's basket, "pointed" for the nearest
door, as if on an important and pressing
mission. The passengers' set up a loud
laugh as he disappeared, and the employees
of the road have taken up the "rooster"
story at occasional intervals, to the express
ed contempt and disgust of the vigilant car
conductor.

THE KIDNEYS;
The Kidneys are two in number, sitnated at the
upper part ot the loin, surrounded by fat. and
connoting of three parts, vis : the Anterior, the
Interior, and the Exterior.
The anterior absorbs Interior consists of tis
sue ot veins, wLich serve aa a deposit for the
urine and convey it to the exterior. The exte
rior is a conductor also, terminating in a single
tub. and called the Ureter. The ureters are con
nected with the bladder.
The bladder is composed of vanoas covering
or tiseoes, divided into parts, vis: the Upper, th'
Lower, the Nervous, and the Mucous. Tbe upper
expels, tbe lower retains. Many have a desire te
urinate without the ability, other urinate with
out the ability to retain. This frequently occur
in children.
To cure these affections, w must bring Into io
tion the muscles, 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 alight may be the attack, it is sure to afleo
the b'idily health and mental powers, as oar flesh
and blood are supported from these sources.

loins is indicative of the above diseases They
occur ia persons disposed to acid stomuh and

or improper treatment of the kidneys These ei
gans being weak, the water is not expelled from
the bladaer. Lut allowed to rcma:c; it becomes
feverish, and sediment forms. It is from this de
posit that the atone is formed, and gravel ensues.
Dbopst is a collection of water in some parts of
tbe body, and bearsdifTerent names, according to
tbe parts affected, vis: when generally diffused
over the hody.it is called Anasarca ; when of tbe

H. T, IIelubolp, Druggist:
Dear Sir : I bare been a sufferer, far upward
of twenty years, with gravel, bladder and kidney
affections, during which time I have used various
medicinal preparations, and been under tbe treat
ment af the most eminent Physicians, experien
cing but little relief
Having seen yonr preparations extensively ad
vertised, I consulted with my family physician ia
regard to using your Extract Rucbu.
I did this becauEo t had used all kinds of ad
vertised remedies, and had found Ihein worthies,
and some quite injurious; in fact, I despaired of
ever getting well, and determined to use no rem
edies hereafter unless I knew of the ingredients.
It was this that prompted me to use ycur remedy.
As you advertised that It was composed of bucbu,
cubebs and juniper berries, it occurred to me and
my physician as an excellent combination, and,
with his advice, after an examination of the arti
e'e, and eonulting again with the druggist, I
concluded to try (t. I commenced its use about
eight months ago, at which time I was confined
to my room From the first bottle I was astonish
ed and gratified at tbe beneficial effect, and afte1?
using it three weeks was able to walk out. I' felt
much like writing you a full statement of my ease
at that time, but thought my improvement might
only ba temporary, and therefore concluded to
defer and see if it would effect a perfet cure,
knowing then it would be of greater value -to yoa
and more satisfactory to me
I am now able to report that a cure is eleited
after using tbe remedy for five months.
I have not used any now for three months, and
feel aa well iu all respects as I ever did.
Your Buchu being devoid nl any rnpleasant
taste and odor. nice toni.-ar.d invigoratorof tbe
system, I do not mean to be without it whenever
occasion may require its use in such affeeffons.
