THE EEASOU FOE THE HIGH AS
SESSMENT. Pear Editor:
Some time ago my attention was called
To an article published by you.
In regard ta question, in which some are (tailed,
And wish to know if it be true. '
The article referred to was in kind pf rhyme.
And the author appears was intent,
In enlightening the people at the present time,
About the Cirri and last a'wwtrnt.
I tike this opportunity, my neighbors and friends.
To say that I've pondered the subject.
And I fear, unless we make come amends,
The party will accomplish his object;
This matter of throwing aside the return,
As made by the sworn assessor.
Fy those whom "Aggricrel" says "seldom ad
journ," I consider a new-fangled measure.
And men. yon know, seldom make measures for
raugbt.
Hut always have a purpose in view ;
And I fee! pret'y sure the purpose I've caught,
And will simply tell it to you ;
When I hare told yoa. it will all be plain.
Ton may tell whoever you please.
But tell it right out, S3 I need not explain,
As I always abhor a tease.
You all are aware that a jail we're building,
And a small sum of money won't do.
You're also aware that the Commissioners are
issuing
Bnds; but no bnds ftr yiu ;
Thtte bonds are for those who have plenty of
frnJj,
l.nyin away in theircoffdrs :
Tuu're also aware, that they'll make their de
mands, And ne mast out with our coppers
New, who is to pay for this l-nntiful palace ?
Why. you ; I wi II answer at once.
Not those who bold, the bonds in the p lace,
Of the moneys that they advance.
You're aware that the interest, tno. must he paid.
And on ninety- thousand dollars, is not small.
And this must be done, my friends, by your aid
And that is the least, but not all.
That ninety thousand will bo raised, by a course
of taxation.
Off the land'that yon and I own,
t ni the ore'voii elect to Gil the Tretsurer'sstatio n
Will rap whit he ha? not sown.
We all muft agree that the notion advanced.
To raiie the assessment so high,
IV as done by some one who was not in a trance.
But as wide awake as you or I.
That one does expect the five per cent. paid.
fn all moneys that would pass thrV his hands.
And the Commissioners yon know, can gir9 him
their aid ,
By collecting it all off oar I.nds.
Which he thinks would be done, by the en 1 of
his term.
And then he would have all the gain.
But, if we do r:ght. he will fall on his stern,
And ceme far thort of his aim
That one yon will see, a candi late be.
And will want as treasurer to rein ;
For he's always as bny as a bi humble bee.
Rut I will not mention his name.
He most certainly think, that he was born ,
To be kept in office fjr life.
And if we all act right he will be shorn.
Though, it may eause some little strife.
You all recollect, but a lew years
When oureomtry was in trouble and pain.
That the bonny tax too. caused trouble you know ,
Hat not to thoe who got gain :
The cry it was then, our country i gone.
The tax will take all tha we've got.
Tint tax was !mn.v:el to benefit some,
Hut benefit us, it did not.
Y a all recollect the fifty-five mills.
"hat was laid upon young and on old :
But it did not reach those, who'd their money
in tils.
And who bonjht up the bonds that were sold,
f i:rccur.tv funds too. were ased to enrich.
The parties who were in the ring.
Vai let ns he careful, that thoe who now reach.
Do rot get hold of the string.
f'f the county purse, or perhaps 'twill be worse.
Than it was in dark days gone by ;
I would warn you therefore, look well to your
eon--.
And be not too backward, or shy.
S:r.d np like men. and defeat everr plan,
That is not for the good of the county.
And when like brave soldiers, you've done all
you can.
nu will ha?e certa:oTy earned your bounty.
'lis !hew;h tf your friend, that r.lt may unite
Together for mutual good :
-ive this matter fome thought, and all will be
r'ht.
AoJ my subject will be understood.
Yours, '-Relievfu."
Salt for the Throat. In these days,
w!un diseases of the throat are so univer
sally prevalent, and in so many cases fata!.
w JV.1 it our duty Jn say a word in lieiial
ft a simple, and what lias been vritli its a
ir.'st rtT'PMial if not a positive cure for sore
t:irria;. For many years past, indeed we
iay say during the whole of a life of mire
'!.m f irty yers. we have been subject to
f rf throat, and more particularly to a dry,
basins eoueh, which was not only distres
:ns to oiire're, but to onr friends and
t It 1-0 with whom we were brought into nu
Mness contact. Last fall we were induced
t try what virtue there was in common salt.
e commenced by using it three times a
Oay morning, noon and ni?ht. We dis
solved a large t-ib!eiooiilul of pure table
Mlt in abont half a Pinal! tumblerful of cold
water. With this we gargled the throat
most tborouply just before meal time. The
result has been that during the entire win
ter we bave been not only free f.om coughs
and colds, but the dry, hacking cough has
entirely disappeared. We attribute these
atisfactory results solely to the use of the
salt gargle, and most cordially recommend a
trial of it to those who ar subject to disea
ses of the throat. Many persons who have
never tried the salt gargle have the irapres.
sion that it is unpleasant. Such is not the
case. On tlie contrary, it is pleasant, and
after a few days' use no person who loves a
aicw, clean mouth, and a first-rate sharpen
er of the appetite, will abandon it.
It is a somewhat carious fact that a com
positor takes most e wlien hardest at work.
SMITH'S NEW CLEBE.
Jenkins met Smith, his senior partner, at
the depot, who had been absent on a busi
ness tour.
"Flow's business?" inquired the latter.
"All right; got anew clerk."
"Got a new clerk, eh? Where's
Jones?"
-"Discharged him. An idle, extravagant,
impudent yonng dog."
"True enough ; and the new one, won't be
any better. Drinking, gambling, late hours
and fast horses that's the way with 'em
all." Smith groaned.
Jenkins' eye twinkled. lie well knew the
peculiarities of his good hearted, but eccen
tric bachelor partner.
"Well, the new clerk don't drink nor
gamble, I'm certain of that ; and has thus
far been very-Industrious and attentive."
"Thus far? Oh. yes. Wait a month.
New brooms always sweep clean."
"Oh, well, if the new clerk don't suit
yon. you can send her adrift, that's all. I
only took her ahem the new clerk on
trial." ,
Mr. Smith stared at bis partner.
"t suppose the new clerk's got a name ?"
he remarked dryly.
"Oh, yes.- Tier that is to say, the new
clerk's name is Gardner. Cut here we
arc"
As was the usual custom, Mr. Smith
went through the s'ore, past the array of
clerks on either side of the counter, with
out glancing to the right or left. JJut when
he reached his private office, at the further
end. he looked through the glass door,
which was so situated that he could see all
that was going on in the store.
As his eyes fell upon the occupant of a
desk near the door be started.
"What's that?" he said, turning sharply
upon bis partner.
Jenkins !az?d very counedly nrn the
slender form, whose gracefu! had w;ts bent
intently over a ledger that lay open upon
the desk before her.
"That? Why that's the new clerk."
"Vby, it'rt a womin!" hs exclaimed
with an air of incredulity an J horror.
"I should say it was," replied Jenkins
coolly; "and a confounded pretty one, at
that."
Smith gave his partner a look of virtu
ous indignation. "Mr. Jenkins, this is no
place tor a woman !"
"Think not? Now it strikes me that she
fits the pla?e very neatly."
"The proper place for a woman is in the
sanctuar3- at home."
Tliis was an observation of S:u";b's which
he bad rad somewhere, and which he con
sidered as a clincher in any sach argument.
"But suppose she hadn't any?"
That was a. po'er; r.nd in bis effort to
surmount it, Smith eot excited.
"Hasn't any ? Why, sir, she must she
eught to have one !"
"Very true. In fact so confident nm I
on that, point, that I have some thoughts
of offering her wine or, nt least to share it
with her." . ... . ,
".Mr. Jenkins, this is not a fit subject for
j vt :' .
'"Jt's a rcrion? matter, I know ; so, on
the whole, perhaps I'd bfiter think it over
a while .louder. 15. 'sides, there's no know
intr if she would accept my offer, together
with the encumbrance that go-js with it."
"Jenkins,' returned Smith severely,
"icii'l you cease, trifling, and attend to the
business iti hand?. This woman must go!"
"Very well. Von told me you wanted a
clerk that would be faithful and industrious;
that didn't spend his salary, and all that he
could steal, on fast horses and faster women ;
and I got you one. It's an easy matter to
send her off."
"Of course it is," rejoined Smith, bricht
ening at this suggestion. "Just tell her
that she don't exactly suit, and that we
shan't need her services nfter to-day."
"But she does suit me ; and if you're
not suited, all you've got to do is to tell
her so."
"Vou hired her."
"And for that very reason I won't dis
charge her without some good eause."
"No matter." returned Smith, with an
air of lofty indifference. " can discharge
her. I think I am equal to that much."
Jenkins, who bad left the room, put his
bead back a moment later: "Bet you a
hundred dollars you don't do it !"
With this parting shot he disappeared.
Now, Smith had a nervous horror of
women, as his partner well knew especial
ly of young women aid. never spoke to
one if he could help it.
Had it been a man, be would know what
to say, and experience no difficulty in say
ing if, but a woman was quite another
thing.
But his partner's last words bad touched
his pride, and summoning all his resolution
ho opened the door and walked out.
But his courage failed him, as he came
opposite the desk where she sat, and he
passed bv, glancing sideways at the uncon
scious occupant, who did not lift her head
at his approach.
After speaking to a clerk at the further
end of the room, he walked s'owly back to
where the young lady sat, and who, as he
paused by the desk, raised a pair of soft
blue eyes, shooting a swift, bewildering
glance in Smith's that be felt to the toes of
his boots.
"Miss Miss" he stammered.
"My name is Georgiana," M?d the voung
lady, smiling. "Some call jne George, for
short."
"Well, Miss George Georgiana, I'm
afraid you find your situation rather un
pleasant." "Not at all, sir. On the contrary, I find
it very pleasant and comfortable."
"Abem ! but t fear you will be hardly
equal to the discharge of its duties."
"I hope so. It you will run your eye
over the balance sheet, you will find every
thing correct."
With desperate hope that there, would
be something amiss, Smith did so, but was
disappointed. ,
. "I hope you have no fault to find ?" said
the new, clerk, a little anxiously, on per
ceiving that he hesitated.
"You are a,woman "
Ilerc, whether abashed by tie sudden
display of dimples in the pink cheeks, that
grew still more pink at this rather unneces
sary assertion, Smith came to an upright
pause. .
At this, the smiling face settled into .an
expression of demure gravity.
"I must plead guilty to the charge of be
ing a woman. " Bat though it may be a mis
fortune, it can scarcely be called a fault ; at
any rate it is one for which I am not an
swerable 1"
. v"Yoil misunderstand1 me, ma'am. What
I meant to say was that there are certain
duties connected with your office, bucIi as
opening the store, going to the post-office,
etc., which you cannot very well perform."
"I assure you, sir, that I shall like noth
ing better than an occasional walk in jlie
open air. And as to opening the store, and
sweeping pod dusting, 1 don't know why it
should be harder to perform that office for
a store than a house."
"I claim no consideration for my sex,"'
resumed the young lady, casting a slightly
reproachful glance at the perplexed counte
nance.of her employer, "but I ask, in com
mon Justice, if I perform my duties satis
factorily, that you will not discharge me
simply htcaute lam a icoman !"
Muttering a disclaimer of some kind, lie
hardly knew what, Smith beat a sudden re
treat to his own room, assumins a bold
front as he met his partner's inquiring eye,
but with inward consciousness that be had
been totally routed ,by the enemy.
"Going?" said Jenkins, with provoking
nonchalence.
"Well, no, not to day. What the d 1
are you grinning at ?''
"Oh nothing nothing at ail." responded
Jenkins, intently regarding a fly on the
ceiling.
"What I was going to remark was," re
sumed Smith, with quite an unnecessary
assutuplion of. dignity, J'that I Lave con
eluded to let the young lady remain until I
can find some situation for her more in ac
cordance with her sex."
"Very kind and considerate in you," (.aid
Jenkins dryly ; "especially taking into con
sideration that she does her work better
than any clerk we ever had, and for less pay
too."
Smith was bv no means the ocre he seem
ed. Aside from his prejudice, he was a sen
sible, kind-hearted man. Georgiana was
not called upon to open the store or run er
rands,, though she offered to do both.
Curious to relate, as days and weeks pass
ed, Smith's repugnance to her presence not
only vanished with them, but he began to
regard it with .positive pleasure. lie used
often to look through the glass door, watch
ing the graceful poise of the head and the
motions of the deft little fingers as they
glided over the paper, until at last curious
fancies seemed to creep through his brain,
and he began to indulge in glowing dreams
of how wonderfully such a little woman as
that Would brighten up his lonely and cheer;
less horiie. But he determined ta proceed
cautiously: He had it. His housekeeper
was about to leave, he would offer Miss
Gardner the situation and then ? Having
formed this resolution, his next step was to
request the young lady's presence in his pri
vate office, a summons that was promptly
obeyed. -
"Miss Gardner, don't you think the situ
ation of housekeeper in a quiet home, like
mine, for instance, would be preferable to
yoursitaatiori here?"
"Perhaps, in some respects it might,"
said Georgiana, coloring it this abrupt
inquiry, and the look that accompanied it.
Was the old gentleman about to make her
an offer. But his next words relieved her
of this apprehension.
"My housekeeper is soon to leave me, and
I should be glad to have you supply her
place."
Georgiana's cheeks . grew-very red, and
her mouth dimpled with the stniies 6he
strove to suppress.
'Ton are very kind, sir, but thS fact is,
Mr. Jenkins has spoken to me first."
"Mr. Jenkins?"
"Yes, sir, he asked me to be his house
keeper, and I told him that I would."
"But, my child, Mr. Jenkins is a young
man it would not be proper for you to
keep house for him. Now. with me it is
different."
As Georgiana inwardly contrasted the
two, she mentally agreed with him. In fact,
there was all the difference io the world to
her.
"But he asked me to be his wife as well
as housekeeper."
"Oooh."
Smith's first feeling was of intense aston
ishment ; his next, of quite as strong cha
grin. But it all ended in an emotion of
thankfn!ne?3 that he had not committed
himself.
But his disappointment could not have
rankled very deep, lor he attended the wed
ding; viewing, with smiling tranquility, the
ceremony that transformed his new clerk
into the happy wife of his fortunate part
ner, Jenkins. "
Sorrows grow less every time they are told,
jus like the age of women.
Hints on Health.
Next in importance to a thorougly clean
skin is the preservation of that organ from
the injurious action of sudden changes of
temperature. Of all terrestrial animals
man is the most scantily supplied with nat
ural protection. The necessity for artificially
maintaining the animal tcnerature is thus
forcibly put by Dr. Evory Kennedy :
Strange as it may appear, clothes are
used equally in cold climates to retain the
natural heat, and in warm climates to isolate
the body from the surrounding highly ele
vated atmosphere and burning rays of the
tropical sun."
Between the layers of clothes there are
strata of tir kept at equable temperature.
hich but slowly conduct alteration in it
from within or without ; and as they are con
fined by the dress, they do not freely allow
of the admission of colder air. It is for this
reason that, in toing from a warm room in
to the cold, we bhould put on our extra
clothing some time previously, so as to heat
this protective stratum of air, which is act
ually a non-conductor.
Linen, Which is so great a favorite in tem
perate climates, is an objectionable material
for dress on account of its high conducting
and radiating powers, in consequence o f
which it feels cold and does not freely dis
tribute heat. It is also al tractive of mois
ture, which it retains, and thus keeps a
damp instead of a dry medium around the
skin. , .
In warm cliniates cotton or thin wriolrns
are entirely substituted for linen garments,
and the only objection to them is their rough -er
surface, which occasionally irritates sen
sitive skins. Notwithstanding this objec
tion, which habit will overcome, there is no
other medium so fitted for a variable climate
as this, since it preserves the warmth of the
body during great cold, and prevents the
conduction of intense beat.
When linen is put on a perspiring skin,
the moisture passes through it, and, evapo
rating, still produces cold. Flannel, on the
contrary, absorbs the moi-ture and gives
out beat. Its non-conducting power is clear
ly useful on the cold winier's day. The
wearing of flannel shirts, or those of meri
no, which contains about one-third of cot
ton, during winter or summer, is so usual
in England is to realize Bherhaavc's max
im, that wiriter clothing should be taken off
at the end of midsummer's day only to put
it on the following -morning. Woollens,
however, should be more frequently washed,
as they absorb so much perspiration.
Since the more ceneral adoption of flan
nel underclothing the number of deaths by
bronchial complaint is very much lessened.
John ilautcr'8 receipt for rearing healthy
children was "plenty of milk, plenty of
sleep, and plenty of flannel." It has been
stated on reliable authority that woolen
clothing is a preventive of riialaria. Flan
nel drawers reaching high cn the abdomen,
and a long flannel shirt, so that two layers
may cover that region, are regarded as a
great safeguard against cholera.
The color of dress is important. This
was demonstrated by Benjamin Franklin.
He placed piece of various colored cloths
on the surface of snow, and found in a given
time that the snow under the black was
most melted, that under the white the least.
From this can be judged the proper shades
for winter aud summer wear.
Water-proof clothing, made, fir instance,
of India-rubber, should be avoided as check,
ing perspiration. This is illustrated by
Breschet's experiment. lie shaved rabbits
and coated them with impermeable varnish,
and found that they perished in an hour or
two of cold and suffocation.
Competent authorities have sn,Tgeted
that the reason gout so often attacks the feet
is that their natural cutaneous action is im
peded by the boot or shoe now in use, sta
ting also that aming the Romans thesa
parts were less often affected, as the sandals
only partly covered them. Such a covering
for the foot, though not permissible by the
fashion of the day, is undoubtedly the most
natural, as it will allow a free perspiration
for the foot, aud render frequent washing
needful.
The Countess de Noai'lcs has lately writ
ten an able "Apology for Bare Feet," in
which she ontends that if the wretched
boots the poorer children wear were cast
away, thp feet and ankles would become
stronger, would be kept cleaner, aad there
would be much less liability to coids, and to
illness among girls.
Dr. John Brown, the welbknowrf author,
remarks that "it is amazing the misery the
people of civilization endure in and from
thair shoes. Nobody is ever, as they
should be, comfortable at once in them ;
they hope in the long run, aud after much
agony, and when they ire nearly done, to
make them fit, especially if they can get
them once well wet Frederick the Great
kept an aide-de-camp to wear his shoes till
he could put them on, but he sometimes
wore them too long, and got a kicking for
his pains.
The square-toed boot and those with the
inner edge straight, not curved inwards are
the most natural, as they allow the expan
sion of the toes a matter seldom allowed
for by bootmakers, especially as they measure
the foot when lifted from the ground. Great
comfort is often obtained by having a last
carefully shaped for oneself. It bsaid that
the Duke of Wellington, being questioned
as to the most essential requisite for a sol
dier's clothing, replied, "A good pair of
shoes." What next? "A spare pair of
good shoes;" and even thirdly, "A spare
pair of soles." Most men can speak with
bitter recollection of a tight and ill fittioe
boot : how completely it has destroyed their
" pleasure in the brightest scenes of enjoy
ment, and hoW it has unhinged them both
mentally and bodily.
We remark, in conclusion, that in both
the extremes of life, when heat-producing
power is most feeble, additional warm cloth
ing is clearly damanded. It is the same
withXhe young as with the old, and it is
pleasant to see this truth more recognized
than formerly in the fact that children are
not now left half dressed from the errone
ous notion of making them hardy, or to fol
low the dictates of an arbitrary fashion.
The Cave of Adullam.
At last we are scrambling on foot down
the sleep circuitous path which leads to the
entrance to Adullam. The swords bought.
Alee leaves our Bethlehemite, with many
threats and pointings to the pistol,in charge
of the horses, iind we clambered along the
narrow ledge leading to the mouth of the
cave. It is infinitely difficult and rugged,
and consists of a tortuous path a few inches
wide, which twines along a jagged presipice
five hundred feet high, on the other parts
of which there is not footing for a wild goat.
It is dizzy work, but we keep our eyes on
the wall-like rock which stretcher above us.
avoid looking into the chasm below, and
move slorHy onwards, continually using both
hands and feet.
A huge block of stone has fallen acros
the broken pathway close to the entrance to
the cave. VTe clamber over it not without
the sort of help the Arabs give t-traneersat
the Pyramids and which con5t of butting
you from" behind, while half dislocatingyour
shoulders by tugs in front and are at the
opening to a small grotto, which leads to a
natural winding gallery some thirty feet
long. We pant and squeeze through these,
doffing most of our clothing, on Alee's ad
vice, and find ourselves at list in a noble
uatural chamber 120 feet long, and from 10
to 1 5 feet wide
J his is the Cave of Aduham. 1 he can
dles we bave brought with us are attached
to the walls, and the arches and stalactites
of the lofty roofs are seen" through the dark
ness, irregular arid dim'. There is ample
space here and in the recesses round for sev
eral hundred men ; and when we .consider
its all but impossible approach, the ease
with which it could be defended from the
attack of what would be an overwhelming
force elsewhere, its comparative nearness to
Bethlehem, and weigh the evidence.fbr and
against the accuracy of the site, we oomc
unanimously to the conclusion that tradition
is in this instance right. Here it must have
been that David longed for "water of the
well of Bethlehem, which is by the gate,'
when the village was garrionej b'y the Phi
Jistinos; and aloriff this cleft in the rclc the
three "mighty men" came after they had
broke through the enemy's lines, obtained
the coveted water, and were bringing it in
triumph to their chief.
There are several narrow passages branch
ing out of the great cave, one of which
runs for forty yards, and takes the explorer
to a pit ten feet deep, on all fours.and final
ly crawls for seventy yards more when he
reaches another immense natural chamber.
This is the end of the cave, so f.ir as Euro
pean travellers know, thongh the Arabs in
sist that subterranean passages extend from
it for miles, even to Tekao and Hebron.
When we emerge into the blessed sunlight
again, dusty, heated and out of breath. Alee
spread his snow-whi'e cla'th and produces
lunch. The Bedouins watch us from a dis
tance, and we eat. drink and smoke in a
small cleft in the hill which overlooks the
Wady and the terrible defile between Adul
lam and the outer world.
Mental Taxation Causes Dtspepsia.
Mental anxiety and peculiarly embarrass
ments, such as loss of property by fire, by
failure in business or bdd debts, rind domes
tic troubles, disappointed affection, and the
loss, or the treachery of friends, will fre
quently cause dyspepsia ; too close and too
active intellectual labor is also frequent
cause. Editors, authors and literary per
sons often engender dyspepsia in this way.
Much brain labor requires much blood at
the brain, and an over-working intellect
uses up so much blood add nervous force
that there is not enough remaining to do
the work of digestion.
On the other hand, deranged digestion is
sometimes produced by too little action of
the brain. Persons are frequently met with
who have been in active business life, and,
having accumulated enough to satisfy their
ambition, have retired from business. Now,
although the brains and body retire from
active life, yet the poor stomachs very often
have their tasks increased. If a man has
been a long time accustomed to eating hear
tily and working hard, either with body or
brains, he had better not relax his working
habits without at the same time having a
corrcspoT-Jing relaxation in his habits of
eating. "He who will not work neither
shall he eat.", is not only a Bible injunction,
but A law of the human constitution, the
disobedience of which is often attended with
such derangements of digestion, and other
bodily infirmities, a to render either prop,
erty or life of but little value.
A wife in San Francisco lately put a pe
tition for divorce in the court, on the ground
that her husband was a "confounded fool."
The judge, who was an old bachelor, would
not admit the plea, because, he said, every
man who gets married would be liable to the
same imputation.
An Indianapolis man went down to the
cellar and shot seven balls at once - into a
pork barrel. Because his wife did not
scream, call in all the neighbors, and then
swoon away, be went up stairs and thrash
ed her.

THE KIDNEYS.
The Kidneys are twoin number, situated at the
pper part ot the loin, surrounded by fat and
consisting of three parts, via: the Anterior, (he
Ii.le.-ior, and the Exterior.
The anterior absorbs Interior consist of tit
sues or veins, which serve as a deposit for the
urine and convey it to the exterior. The exte
rior is a conductor also, terminating in a single
tube, and called the I'reter. The ureters are con
nected with the bladder.
The bladder is composed of vartous covering!
or tissues, divided into parts, viz: the Upper, th
Lower, the Nervous. and the Mucous. The upper
expels, the lower retains. Many have a desire to
urinate without the ability, others urinate with
out the ability to retain. This frequently occur
in children.
To cure these affections, we must bring into ac
tion the muscles, which are engaged in their va--rious
functions If they ere neglected, Gravel er
Dropsy may ensue.
The reader must also be made aware, that how
ever slight may be the attack, it is sure to affee
fbe bodily health and mental powers, as our flesh'
and blood are supported from these source.
GorT, or Hsirsmsir, Ptin' occurring in the
loins is indicative of the above diseases They
occur in persons disposed to acid stomach and
chalky concretions.
The Gravel. The pravel ensues from neglect
or improper treatment of the kidaeys These er
gans being weak, the water is not expelled from
the bladder, but allowed to remain; it becomes
feverish, and sediment forms. It is from this de
posit that the stone is formed, and gravel ensue.
Dropkt is a collection of water in some part of
the body, and bears'different names, according to
the parts affected, vis: when generally diffused
over the hody.it is called Anasarca ;' when of the
Abdomen. Ascites; when of the chest, Hydrothe

Treat ekt. Ilelmbold's highly concentrated
compound Extract Pnchu is decidedly one of the
bet remedies for diseases of the bladder, kijneys,
gravel, dropsical swellings, rheumatisui.and gouty
affections. Under this head we have arranged
Pysurie'. 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 nrine; Gout and Rheuma
tism of the kidneys, without any change in quan
tity, but increase in color, er dark water. It wu
always, highly recommended by the lata Dt.
Physick. in these affections
This medicine Increases the power of digestion
and excites the absorbents into healthy exercise "
br which the watery or calcareous denosition
and all unnatural enlargements, as well as pain
and inflammation are reduced, and it is taken by
men. women and children directions for use and
diet accompany.

H. T, IlELUBni.n. Druggist:
Dear Fir: I bare been a sufferer, for upward
of twenty years, with gravel, bladder and kidney
affections during which time I have nsed various
-medicinal preparations, and beeb under the treat
ment of the most eminent Physicians, experien
eing but little relief
Having seen your preparations extensively ad
vertised. I consulted with rny family physician id
regard to using your Extract Ruchu.
I did this be-ise I hsd n-d all kinds of ad
vertised remedies, and bad fennd them worthless,
and xme quite injurious; in fact, I despaired of
ever getting well, and determined to use no rem
edies hereafter unless I knew of lb ingredient.
It was thia that prompted me to use your remedy.
As you advertised that it was composed of bncha,
tubebs and juniper berries, it occurred to me and
uiy physician as an excellent combination, and,
with his advice, after an examination of the arti
cle, and consulting again with the druggist, I
concluded to try it. 1 commenced its ns about
eight months ago. at which time I wa confined
to my room From the first bottle I was astonish
ed and gratified at the beneficial effect, and after
using it three weeks was able to walk out I felt
much like writing you a full statement of my casa
at that time, but thought my improvement might
only be temporary, and therefore concluded to
defer and soa If it would effect a perfect cure,
knowing then It would be of greater value to yoa
and mure satisfactory to sue
I am now able to report that a care i effected
after using the remedy for five month.
I bave not nsed any now for three months, and
feel as well in all respects as I ever did.
Yuur Bucbu being devoid ol any pnpleasant
taste and odor, a nice tonifl acd invigorator of the
system. I do not mean to be without it whenever
occasion may require it use in such affection.
