Kno-wing that many will read this article who are unacquainted with nie, I appendremarks from those of my native city whose names are kno\\Ti in all parts of theworld.

I am acquainted with Mr. H. T. Helmbold. He occupied the Drug Store oppositemy residence, and was successful iu conducting the business where others had notbeen equally so before Mm. I have been favorably impressed with his character andenterprise. ^VTLLIAJM WEIGHTMAN,

Firm of Powers & Weightman,Manufacturing Chemists, 9th aad Browning Sts., Philadelphia,

For further information, see remarks from largest Manufacturing Chemists in theworld, JouKNAL Pharmacy, Dr. Keyser's Letter, Dispensatory, United States, &c.>Prof. Dewees' valuable works on the Practice f Physic, reiparks made by thelate celebrated Dr. Physick, Philadelp'hia ; remarks made by Er. Ephraim McDowell, acelebrated Physician, and member of the Royal College of Surgeons, Ireland, and pub-lished in the transactions of the King's and Queen's Journal Medico-ChirurgicalliEViEW, published by Benjamin Travers, Fellow &i Koyal College of Surgeons, andmost of the late Standard Works on Medicine.

A QUESTION TO THE READER.If you were about to embark in the Medicine Business, would the merit of an article,

or your confidence in advertising, inspire you so to d ? and would you devote years ofapplication without a thorough investigation ? I will take upon myself the responsi-bility of answering this question, although I have heard thousands remark that

" All that is necessary, IS TO ADVERTISE."I have never yet seen any but would hesitate. Many intelligent and persevering menhsive been induced to embark in the business, believing they had this essential element,and after having expended thousands op dollars in bringing it before the community,Ihey find, in a short time, that their article was not successful in curing in a majority ofcases, and failure was the inevitable consequence. Advertising does not make meritbut it makes merit kno^^^l, and that makes both reputation and mone} . I full well knowthat there are thousands who are envious of the success of others, and who seldom speakin a complimentary manner of the merits of an article, or of the enterprise of any, butIAvill remark, that I do not believe there is a " DRiiGGLsr " or a " ]*hysician " in theUnited States, or the world, who, if he had as good a remedy as mine, would hesitate topursue the same course adopted by me. My

^^ IB XJ O 13: XJ "not a patent medicine, and I withhold no knowledge of its ingredients. I'he remedy

is perfectly safe. My ^Laboratory, and the mode of preparation, has been inspectedby thousands of Physicians and Druggists, who ex5)ressed themselves gratified.

FEMALE IRREGULARITIES.Females, owing to the peculiar and important relations which they

sustain, their peculiar organi^zation, and the offices they perform, are sub-ject to many sufierings and ailments peculiar to the sex. Freedom fromthese contributes in no small degree to their happiness and welfare, fornone can be happy who are ill. Not only so, but no one of these variousfemale complaints can long be suffered to run on without involving thegeneral health of the individual, and ere long producing permanent sick-ness and premature decline. Nor is it phiasant to consult a physician,fur the relief of these various delicate affections, and only upon the mosturgent necessity will a true woman so fur sacrifice her greatest charmas to do this. The sex will then thank us for placing in their handssimple specifics which will be found efficacious in relieving and curingalmost every one of those troublesome complaints peculiar to the sex.

LEUCORRH(EA OR WHITESIs one of the most common and annoying diseases of females. Hun-

dreds suffer on in silence, and hundreds of others apply vainl}^ to drug-gists and doctors, who either merely tantalize them with the hope of acure or apply remedies which make them worse. It is analogous toSpermatorrhoea of the male. It is a white discharge, proceeding fromthe vagina and sometimes from the womb itself. 1 would not wish toassert in this book anything that would do injustice to the afflicted, butI am obliged to say, that though it may be produced from excessiveexhaustion of tiie powers of life, by laborious employment, unwholesoiheair and food, profuse menstruation, the use of tea and coU'ee, and fre-quent chiklbirth; it is far oftener caused by direct irritation, appliedto the mucous membrane of the va4^ina itself. Many of the symptomsof leucorrhoea are occasionally identical with gonorrhoea. The readerwill remember that we advance the opinion that gonorrhoea in the maleoccasionally originated in this disease, even in virtuous and marriedlife. From its causes it is peculiar to adult life, although children areoften affected with transient inflammation of the vagina, from atmos-pheric and other causes, vicious practices and examples of servantsand schoolmates; and unless decisive measures are instituted, aflectionsof the womb and dropsy supervene.

For Female Weakness and Debility, Whites or Leucorrha, Too Pro-fuse, Exhausting, Too Long Continued Periods, for Prolapsus andBearing Down, or Prolapsus Uteri, we ofil'r the most perfect specificknown; Helmbold's Compound Extract of Buchu.

Direictions for use, diet, and advice aiccompany.

From the*'3^merican ^mxml of ^âmacj/*

May, 1865, edited byWM. PROCTOR, JR.,

Professor of Pharmacy, m llie Pliiladelpliia College of Pliarmacy.

" Will the Fluid Extract go out of use owing to the high price,or can we have some authoritative modification of the formulas bywhich wê can make them at a more reasonable cost?"

" If the latter, shall the change be in the quality of the men-struum, or in the manner of applying it, so as to reduce the quantityrequisite ? Can there be a convocation of the Committee of Revisionto authorize some new method or modification of the present recipes ?"

AVith regard to the contemplated change in the quantity, or in themenstruum itself, in the preparation of fluid extracts, I would takeoccasion (bo say that in medicine the health of the patient is thegreat object to be gained.The cost df the material is something, but when put into the scale

with human health, and often human life, it is hardly worthy of con-sideration at all. My Buchu (Helmbold's) will continue to be made asformcrl}^, and if it cannot be maintained at present prices, they willhave to be advanced to meet the advance in the price of material. Tosuch as desire quantity insteaxl of quality wê would say that wâter isa cheap commodity, and may be readily added by the person using themedicine if he desires to do so.

Hottentots have long used BuchuFOE A ,- ,

VARIETY OF DISEASES.It was borrowed from those rude practitioners by the English and Dutch physicians, on whose r-commendation it was employed in Europe, and has now come into general use. It is given chieflyin gravel, chronic catarrh of the bladder, morbid irritation of the bladder and urethea, for femaleweakness and debility, for prolapsus and bearing down, or prolapsus uteri, diseases of the pros-tate gland, retention or incontinence of urine, and all diseases requiring the aid of a diureticarising from a loss of tone in the parts concerned in its evacuation. It is also recommended incases of dyspepsia, chronic rheumatism, cutaneous affections Bd dropsy. To cure these diseaseswe must bring into action the muscles which are engaged in their various functions. To neglectthem, however slight may be the attack, it is sure to affect the bodily health and mental powers.Ourflesh and blood are supported from these sources. Persons at every period of life, from in-fanaj to old age, and in every state of health, are liable to be subjects of these diseases. Thecauses in many instances are unknown. The patient has, however, an admirable remedy in

HELMBOLD'SFLUID EXTRACT OF BUCHU,and when taken in early stages of the disease, none suffer to any extent. It allays pain andinflammation, is free from all injurious properties, pleasant in its taste and odor, and immediatein its action. It is the
