LIGHTNING RODS
We give below the directions for put
ting tip lightning rods that Prof. Henry of
the Smithsonian institute at Washington,
has lately given to a friend :
1. The rod should consist of round iron
of about one inch in diameter; its parts,
throughout the whole length, should be
in perfect metallic continuity, by being
secured together by coupling ferules.
2. To secure it from rust the rod should
be coated with black mint, itself a good
conductor.
8. It should terminate in a single plati
num point.
4. The shorter and more direct the
course of the rod to the earth the better;
bendings should be rounded and not
formed in acute angles.
5. It should be fastened to the. building
by iron eyes, and may be insulated from
these by cylinders-of glass don’t how
ever consider the latter of much impor
tance).
C. The rod should be connected with
the earth in the most perfect manner pos
sible, and nothing is better for this purpose
than to place it In metallic contact with
the gas pipes or better with the water
pipes the eity. The connection may be
made by a Abljon of copper or iron sol
dered to the end of the rod at oqe ol its
extremities and wrapped round the pipe
at the other. If a connection of this kind
is impractable, the rod should bo contin
ued horizontally to the nearest well, and
then, turned vertically downward until
the end enters the water as deep as its
lowest level. The horizontal part of the
rod may lie buried in a stratum of pounded
charcoal and ashes. The rod should be
placed, in preference, on the west side ot
the building. A rod of this kind may he
put up by an ordinary blacksmith. The
rod iu question is in accordance with our
latest knowledge of all the facts of elec
tricity. Attempted improvements on it
arc worthless, and as a general thing are
proposed by those who are but slightly
acquainted with the subject. •

Dr. H. T. Hklmbold.
Dear Sir : We introduced your ‘Fluid Extract
Buchu” in this country about eight months ago, and
are happy to state that it is meeting with universal
favor. We wish to inform you of one instance
(among many) where your “Buchu” has worked
wonders. A man in our county, named J. I*. *.s
tell, had been suffering about five years with grav
el. About six weeks ago he bought of us one bot
tle of vour “Buchu,” find before he was through
w ith one bottle he passed a gravel that weighs eight
grains, which we now have on exhibition in our
drugstore. He savs he never will be without the
••Buchu” in his house again. Your preparations
arc gaining favor everv day. Very respectfully,
yours Ac., KCCI.ES A AlNKLE, Druggists.

DEAR Sir: I commenced Inking your “Extract
of Buchn” about two weeks since for an affection of
the bladder ami kidneys. I have suffered by spells
very much for a few days past. But yesterday re
lief came through the effect of your “Buchu.” A
stone passed mv bladder about the size of a large
pm. and l now feel perfectly well and entirely free
from the pain that 1 have suffered with “so hard.”
f attribute my cure to your medicine entirely, and
would recommend all persons similarly affected to
try it. I have great faith In its curative powers.
Yours truly, THOMAS J. BENNETT.

THANKS TO MR. IIELMBOLD.
Girard, I*a., March 31,1809.
Editor Cosmopi.ite : I desire, as an unsolicited
tribute to the merits of IleliuboM’s Buchu, and for
the benefit of those*similarly afflicted as myself, to
say that afterconsultingmany eminent physicians,
and trying nearly all the best advertised remedies,
in the vuiu hope of finding relief from aggravated
kidney and bladder diseases, from which 1 have
suffered excessively for many years, good fortune
finally suggested to me Ilelmbold’s Buchu, which 1
commenced using with little faith, and no apparent
beneficial results for about a month. At the expir
ation of that time, however, 1 thought 1 commenced
to experience slight relief, which encouraged me to
persevere in its use, and now, at the expiration of
lour mouths, although 1 am an infirm old innn,
nearly 78 years of age. and consequently medicines
cannot be expected to favorably affect me as they
otherwise wouldv 1 have found suck unspeakable
relief and permanent oenefit from Mr. lleimbold’s
valuable discovery, that I feel I ought to publicly
record the fact, as an ucknow lodgement to him and
a valuable suggestion to the public.

A Permanent Cure of Gravel of twelve

AND TO 1IF. SEEN.
Bu rnside, Conn., Dec. 1.1,1809.
Dr. II elm hold—Dear Sir: It is with much
pleasure that 1 write you upon facts respecting my
self. 1 do not know hardly how to express myself.
1 have lieen for tlie last ten or twelve years the
greatest sufferer man could be and live: but more
sometimes than otliers. The complaint was the
“Kidneys” and “Bladder.” 1 have been sometimes
from twelve to fourteen hours, and wanted to make
water every minute, but could not. Have consult
ed doctors.* both in Massachusetts and this State,
und taken pills, I may say, by the quart, also liq
uored medicines, but found no relief from any, and
got worse the last six niontli*. 1 was so that f could
scarcely get about. I could not rest night or day.
It would soon have been "all up” with me if 1 had
not seen your advertisement In “The Berkshire
Courier” headed "Kidneys.” 1 read it through and
thought I would tr\ it. 1 purchased a bottle, but,
mind you, had not much faith in it. Why should I,
when I had lieen trving mi many tilings and cost me
so much ? Well, 1 Vegan taking it, and before 1 had
taken the first bottle fruit bad; but I finished it and
fot another. By the time 1 took half of the second
still got worse (apparently). When 1 walked it
seemed as if my right kidney was falling from its
Place, and I felt really bad. I felt ho, before 1 had
finished the seeomi, that l had made up mv mind it
was of no use trying any more—and all this time
the "Buchu” was doing Rs work, but 1 did not
know' it; so I gave it up and went to Hartford on
Saturday to see one of tin* best doctors in the city.
He said it w as the neck of the bladder, and I should
have to undergo an operation, lie gave me med
icine, and I went home quite downhearted. On
Sunday I was unable to go to church. 1 had not
taken any of his medicine, but on my return contin
ued using the “Buchu,” and in the afternoon I had
a desire to make water, but could not. About one
hour after this I tried ngaiu, with the same result;
but the next time 1 took the vessel it was the same
as turning a faucet and stopping it off again. It
w as so for three times, and the third time there Was
something came through the passage and struck
against the side of the vessel. I examined it, and it
is the ugliest stone or gravel you ever saw, cov
ered over with little pelces which eollcted together.
It looks the color of a mud turtle, and is as hard as
a flint. So ypu see the “Buchu” was doing its work
although 1 was feeling so badly. I procured an
other bollle thinking their might lie some more be
hind, but since that lias passed, which is eight
weeks ago last Sunday, I have been as well as ever
1 w an in my life. J have the stoue securely w rapped
| and those who have seen it in this place are sur
! prised. I cannot tell you all, but this is a true story
of my case, and you are welcome to make such use
of my name as you think proper. I am pretty well
known in Berkshire; also in Connecticut. The ad
vertisement saved me. Why not publish more?
| The Springfield Republican io a wide-spread paper.

so. I could write all day, but think I have said
enough this time, so I remain your ever wrll w isher

Mr. If. T. IT elm bold—Dear Sir: Iu regard to
the question asked mo as to my opinion about Bu*
oho, 1 would say I have used and sold the article in
various forms for the past thirty years. I do not
think therein any form or preparation of it i have not
used, or known to be useu, in the various diseases
where such medicate agCnt would lie indicated.
You an* aware, as well as myself, that it has been
extensively employed in the various diseases of the
bladder and kidneys, and the reputation it has ac
quired, in my judgment, is w arranted by the facts.
I have seen and used, as betor® stated, every form
of Buehu—the powdered leaves, tincture, fluid ex
tracts—and I am not congni/ant of any preparation
of that plant at all equal to yours. Twelve years’
experience ought. I think, to give me the right to
judge of its merits; and, without prejudice or par
tiality, I give yours precedence over all others.
I value your Buehu for its effects on patients. I
have cured with it. and seen cured w ith it. more
diseases of the bladder and kidneys than I have
ever seen cured w ith any other Bucliu or any other
proprietary compound of whatever name. Hespcct

H. T. IlfiLMiioLD, Druggist—Dear sir: 1 have
been a sufferer for upwards of twenty years w ith
gravel, bladder and’kidney affections, during which
time I have used various medicinal preparations,
and been under the treatment of the most eminent
physicians, experiencing but little relief.
fiaving seen your preparations extensively ad
vertised. I consulted n»v family physican in regard
to using your Kqtrnct’.Iluchu.
1 did this because 1 had used a’l kinds of adver
tised remedies and had found them worthless, and
some quite injurious; in fact. I despaired of ever
getting well, and determined to use no remedies
hereafter unless I knew of the ingredients. It was
this that prompted me to use your remedy. As you
advertised that it was composed of buehu, eubebs
and juniper berries, it occurred to me ami my phys
ician as an excellent combination ; and w ith his ad
vice, alter an examination of the artiele and con
sulting again with the druggist. I concluded to try
it. I commenced to use it about eight months ago,
at which time 1 vas confined to my room.
From the first bottle I was astonished at the ben
eficial effect, and after using it three weeks was
able to w alk out. I felt much like writing to you a
full statement of my ease at the time, but thought
mv improvement might only be temporary, ami
therefore concluded to defer, and see it it would
effect a perfect cure, know ing that it wonld be ol
greater value to you and more satisfactory to me.
I am now able to report that a cure is effected,
after using the remedy for five months.
I have m>t used any now for three months, and
leel as well in all reaped* as 1 ever did.
Your Buehu being devoid of any unpleasant taste
and odor, a nice tome and invigorator of the system.

ful cure your'“ Buchu” has effected. For lour years

Dr. II. T. Helmbold: Two bottles only of the
package of /our valuable Bucliu presented to the
Institute have been used by the children, and with
perfect success. In the case of our little lieutenant
A. J., his pride is no longer mortified, and he is free
lYoin the daily morning anathemas of the chamber
maid who lias charge of his bedding. I feel that a
knowledge of the result of our use of your Buchu
with the children under our charge may save many
a superintendent and matron of boarding-schools
and asylums a great Minouut of unuoyance; and
many a poor child, suffering more from weakness
than*from habit, may be spaied punishment that is
1 (not knowing it as a weakness instead of a bad
habit) most unjustly inflicted upon them. Thank
ing you on behalf of the children, and hoping others
may be alike benefited. I am respectfully yours,

The first number of the Daily Kennebec Jour
nal was issued from the Journal ofliee on Satur
day. It is about the size and stvle of arrangement
as the usual Daily Legislative Journal, and in ty
pographical appearance uill compare favorably,
we think, with the other Maine dailies. It is de
signed by the publishers to Issue it dftilv through
the year, but we fear they will find their enterprise
which might to be a paving one, considering the
held it will occupy, to prove a losing one. It costs
a deal of money to publish a pirper these tunes, and
a large, prompt paying subscription list and a good
ly amount of advertising patronage at respectable
rates, are necessary to make a paper self-sustain
ing, and prevent its being a source of embarass
meat to its proprietors. YVe tender this new can
date for public patronage our wishes for its fluan
eial success.—Mai as Standard.

The Daily Kennebec Jouhkal made its first

to its local support, we see no reason why this en

the first number of the daily issued by the publish
ers of the Kennebec Journal. This is not to be fin
the Legislature only, but is to be a permanent daily

snonhl not afford support to at least one daily, even
though the railroad trains do bring Boston papers
