Allow me to call your attention to my
Preparation of Compound
Extract Buchu.
The component parts are BUCHU,
LONG LEAF, CUBEBS, JUNIPER
BERRIES. i
Mode of Preparation.— Buchu, in
vacno. Juniper Berries, by distillation, to form a fine
gin. Cubebs extracted by displacement with spirits
spirits obtained from Juniper Berries: very little
sugar is used, and a small proportion of spirit. It is
more palateable than any now in use.
Buchu, as prepared by Druggists, is of a light color.
It is a plant that emits its fragrance ; the action of a
flame destroys this (its active orinciple,) leaving a
dark and glutinous decoction. Mine is the color of
ingredients. The Buchu in my preparation predomi
nates; the smallest quantity of the other ingredients
are added, to prevent fermentation ; upon Inspec
tion, it will be found not to be a Tincture, as made
in Pharmacopce#,, nor is it a Syrup—and therefore
can be used in canes where fever or inflammation ex
ist. In this, you have the knowledge of the ingredi
ents and the mode of preparation.
Hoping that you will favor it with a trial, and that
upon inspection it will meet with your approbation
With a feeling of confidence,
I am very respectfully yours,
H. T.HELMBOLD,

FOR THE CURE OF
AGUE AND FEVER
OR
CHILLS AND FEVER.
Tha proprietor of this celebrated medicine justly
claims for it a superiority over all remedies ever offer
ed to the public for the safe, certain, speedy and per-
MUfint cure of Ague and Fever ,or Chills and Fever
iiitilihsk el short kmg standing. lie refers to t.ie
entire Western and Southwestern country to bear him
testimony to the truth of the assertion, that in no case
whatever will it fail to cure, if the directions are strict
ly followed and ca~ried out. In a great many cases a
single dose has been sufficient for a cure, and whole
families have been cared by a single bottle, with a per
fect restoration of the general health. It is, however,
prudent, and in every case more certain to cure, if its
use is continued in smaller doses for a week or two af
ter the disease has been checked, more especially in
difficult and long standing cases. Usually, this medi
cine will not require any aid to keep the bowels in
good order; should the patient, however, require a
cathartic medicine, after having taken three or four
doses of the Tonic, a single dose of BULL’S VEGETA
BLE FAM’LY PII.LS will be sufficient.

Bull’s Worm Destroyer.
Po my United States and World wide Read
ers:
I HAVE received many testimonials from profes
sional and medical men, as my almanacs and vari
ous publications have shown, all of which are genuine.
I’iie following from a highly educated and popuiar
phpsician in Georgia, is certainly one of the most sen
sible communications I have ever received. Dr. Clem
ent knows exactly what he speaks of, and his testimo
ny deserves to be written in letters of gold. Hear
what the Doctor says of Bull's Worm Destroyer
Villanow, Walker co., Ga, )
June 29th, 1866 \
DR. JOHN BULL—Dear Sir:—l have recently giv
en your “Worm Destroyer” stveral trials, and find it
wonderfully efficacious. It has not failed in a single
instance, to have the wished-for effect. lam doing a
pretty large country practice, and have daily use for
some article of the kind. lam free to confess that I
know of no remedy recommended by the ablest authors
that is so certain and speedy iu its effects. On the con
trary they are uncertain in me extreme. My object
in writing you is to find out upon what terms I can
get the medicine directly from you. If I can get it
upon easy terms, I shall use a great deal of it. lam
aware that the use of such articles is contrary to the
teachings and practice of a great majority of the reg
ular line of M. D.’s, but I see no just cause or good
sense in discarding a remedy which we know to be ef
ficient, simply because we may be ignorant of its com
bination. For my part, I shall make it a rule to use all
aud any means to alleviate suffering humanity which
I may be able to command—not hesitating because
someone more ingenious than myself may have learn
d its effects first, and secured the sole right tc secure
hat knowledge. However, lamby no mtans an ad
vocate or supporter of the thousands of worthless nos
trums that flood the country, that purport to cure all
manner of disease to which humm llesh is heir.
Please reply soon, and inform me of your best terms.

of your Sarsaparilla, and the healing and beneficial
qualities it possesses, I send you the following state
ment of my case:
I was wounded about two years ago—was taken
prisoner and confined for sixteen months. Being
moved so often, my wounds have not healed yet. I
have not sat up a moment since 1 was wounded. I
am shot through the hips. My general health is im

have more faith in your Sarsaparilla than in any thing
else. I wish that that is genuine. Please express me

P. S.—The following was written April 39,1865, by

DR. BULL—Dear Sir: My husband, Dr. C. 8. John
son, was a skillful surgeon and physician in Central
New York, where he died, leaving the above C. P.
Johnson to my care. At thirteen years of age he had
a chronic diarrhoea and scrofula, for which I »ave
him your Sarsaparilla. IT CURED HIM. I have for
ten years recommended it to many in New York, Ohio,
and lowa, for scrofula, feve*- sores, and general debili
ty. Perfect success has attended it. The cures effect
ed in some cases of scrofula and fever sores were
almost miraculous. lam very anxious for my son to
again have recourse to your Sarsaparilla. He is fear
ful of get ting a spurious article, hence his writing to
you for it. His wounds were terrible, but I believe he
will recover. Respectfully, JENNIE JOHNSON.
