Allow me to call your attention to my
Preparation Compound of
Extract Buchu.
The component parts are BUCHU
LONG LEAF, CUBEBS, JUNIPER
BERRIES.
Mode of Preparation.— Buchu, in
vacuo. Juniper Bcries, by distillation, to form a fine
gin. Cubebs extracted by displacement with spirits
spirits obtained from Junip r Berries: very little
sugar is use i, 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,) loving 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 Pharmacopoea, nor is it a Syrup—and therefore
can be used in cases where fever or inflammation ex
ist. In this, you have the knowledge of the ingredi
ents aid the mo le of preparation.
Hoping that you will favor U with a trial, and that
upon Inspection it will meet with your approbation
With a feeling of confidence,
I am very respectfully yours,

SMITH'S TONIS SYRUP!
FOR THE CURE OF
AGUE AND FEVER
OR
CHILLS AND FEVER.
The 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
manent cure of Ague and Fever ,or Chills and Fever
whether of short or longstanding. He refers to the
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 caried out. In a great many cases a
single dose has oeen sufficient for a cure, and whole
families have been cured 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’3 VEGETA
BLE FAM’LY PIi.LS will be sufficient.

Bull’s Worm Destroyer.
To my United States and World wide Read
ers:
I HAVE received many tcstimorials from profes
sional and medical men, as my almanacs and vari
ous publications have shown, all of which are genuine.
The following from a highly educated and pepuiar
phpsician in Georgia, is certainly one of the most sen
sible communicatioDf I have ever received. Dr. Clem

ny deserves to be written in letters of gold. Hear

DR. JOHN BULL—-Dear Sir:—l have recently giv
en your “Worm Destroyer” several 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 in its effects. On the con
trary they are uncertain in the 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
and 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 nuans an ad
vocate or supporter of the thousands of worthiess nos
trums that flood the country, that purport to cure all
manner of disease to which hum in flesh is heir.
Please reply soon, and inform me of your best terms.

Dr. John Bull—Dear Sir: Knowing the efficiency
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
paired, and I need something to assist nature. I
have mere faith in your Sarsaparilla than In any thing

half a dozen bottles, and oblige

P. S.—The following was written April 39,1865, by
Mrs. Jennie Johnson, mother of Capt Johnson.
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 gave
him your Sarsaparilla. IT CURED HIM. I have for
ten years recommended it to many in New York, Ohio,
and lowa, for scrofula, fever 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 getting a spurious article, hence his writing to
you for it. His wounds were terrible, but. I believe he
will recover. Respectfully, JENNIE JOHNSON.

The fellow who wrote the following has
evidently had some experience in the
matter —ho talks to the point.
Few men will admit that they need
any advice in the honey-moon; fewer
still will take it. Most young persons
think, “Well it is hard if we may not
be left to ourselves at such a season !”
And yet, perhaps, if we took the expe
rience of the many on this subject, they
would admit thai the honey-moon has
been the time of all others when they
have been least able to help themselves.
Is it to much to say that during
those two mouths the happiness or the
misery of two young lives is very near
ly settled? Well, perhaps that is too
much to say, for errors and misconcep
tions may be lived down, and habits
may bo formed or broken after the
honey-moon, in the course of years. —
But still much is often decided, we will
not say in the first few months, but ev
en in the first few days. Little tilings
are decided iu little ways, and neither
understands that “it is the rift within
the lover’s lute ’ that has begun to
show even on the fitst day.
Patience, patience on both sides is
needed—but especially on the man’s
side, for he is the stronger vessel, and
knows life. At the bottom of her
heart his young wife wishes to please
him; but she cannot bear him out of
her sight—he must account for every
moment. His ways are incomprehen
sible. Why does ho want to go out
for ten minutes after dinner for a
stroll ? Why does he prefer spending
an hour or two down stairs with an
old friend at night to going up into the
drawing room ? Why does he want to
see the papers at the club, instead of
going out after a hard day in the city
for a little afternoon shopping ? Man
is a mistery to many a young girl for
the first few months after marriage.—
She has not learned that a man’s inter
ests are and must be various. How
should she suppose that a husband had
any other desires than to make money
and dance attendance upon his wife ?
She has never cared for anything but
love and bonnets. She cannot under
stand that dress, and even matrimony*
are only episodes in a man’s life, al
though they compose the sum total of
many a woman’s.
We hear a good deal about incom
patibility of temper—we believe very
little in it. The sexes are almost in
definitely plastic. People quarrel more
from errors of judgement than from
any other cause. You can live with
anybody if you understand him, and
you can manage anybody if you know
how much a girl has to learn, and how
much, alas ! most men have to unlearn
when they first begin the married life.
*Ve venture to say that if all the new
ly married couples were to make a
contract not. to quarrel for six months
they would seldem have any serious
quarrels in after life.
You can get into the of living
peaceably and happily, and that both,
providing you mean well, have a de
cent heart, and are wilhug to be pa
tient and to make some sacrifices fol
io ve.
Newly married women are, no doubt,
very trying sometimes to their hus
bands, but it is the fault more of their
social training, and the want of educa
tion, than anything else. Men should
remember habit is quite as dificult to
break as any habit we know of. Let
there be no long poutings; let there be
no long, careless, indifferent fits.—
When a girl sulks, noblesse oblige, throw
that nasty cigar away! now, sir, go up
and kiss her; if she still sulks, kiss her
again—she won’t be able to hold out
long against that mode of attack, and
five minutes after she will let you have
your smoke, or go down to the club, or
anything else.
If little storms arise—and they wilt
arise—let them be brief. Pon’t let us
sleep over it, and wake up the next
morning and cudgel our brains to re
member who nagged last. This kind
of thing is mean, it is ungenerous, and
it is silly. But if there is a difference,
let Annabel and Ralph both speak
their minds; and let Annabel have a
good cry, if that is her method of wind
ing up, and then a good hug; and let
Ralph see that it be all made up before
dinner, or before bed time, or wecannot
be responsible for the consequensos.
Fall and its Le* ons. — Again is tli 1
* glorious Indian summer upon us, with
; its clear, serene skits, its balmy air,

teem with variegated colors, and the

with their cheerful songs, but are rc-.
i tiring to the depths of the forrest, or
migrating to more congenial latitudes.

I that stores may be laid up against, the
bleak aud cheerless winter. The lowing

“The melancholy Uays have come,
The saddest of the year.”
To reflecting minds the passing sea
sons present useful lessons. Spring is
the bright era of childhood, when
the seeds of innocence and virtue
are to be planted iu the mind—
when youthful hope clothes the future
with a thousand pleasing phautoms,
and the sweet flowers of fancy bloom
in every pathway. The springs of life
gush warm and rippling through ev
ery vein, and the bounding heart leaps
joyously as everything seems real and
earnest in the great world above aud
beneath. But gradually spring fades
into summer, and childhood merges
into manhood. As summer is the de
veloping season, so manhood is illus
trative of the strength and vigor of ex
istence. The seeds of childhood tbyn
produce a crop either of vice or virtue,
and it begins to be ascertained wheth
er the brilliant visions of life’s rosy
morn are to ripen into glad fruition,
or are doomed to blighting and curs- v
ing. If these two stages of life—spring
and summer—have been properly im
proved, autumn or the fruit bearing
season conies quietly on, and the glo
rious splendors of life’s setting sun
throw a rich, mellow radiance over the
western declivities. It is here that
man, in contemplative mood, retro
spects the past, surveys the present,
and looks hopefully to the future. ’Tis
here that youthful excrescences fall
away, and unhallowed ambition loses
its controlling influence. ’Tis here that
man sees the insincerity of earth, aud
throws out stronger cables towards
the unseen anchor. In a well spent life
this is a season of holy tranquility aucl
imposing faith—of repining joys
chastening pleasures—and he Who has
laid up lWs treasures in Heaven, wades
into the wintry stream of death with

The nature of capilary or hair-tike
attraction, has long been known and
satisfactorily studied. It is easily il
lustrated by placing a lump of loaf su
gar in a plate containing a little wa
ter, when the liquid will almost install -
taneously rise to the sugar, even iwo
or three inches beyond its level On
this principle the rise of the tap
plants and trees has been explained.—
The celebrated philospher, M. Berque
rel, considers that electricity is an act
ing cause. A capilary tube that will
not allow water to pass throngh it,
does so at once on being electrified,
and he conceives that electro- capillar
ity is the efficient cause of sap travel
ing in vegetable life.
