They lie long to the first reserve, and all between the ages of twenty-three and twenty-eight. A very large number of them wear the decoration they wore in the Austrian war. and are all trained soldiers. As the trains arrive they are met by a small party of soldiers, ami the men are escorted to the barracks of the corps to which they belong. Here they are furnished with their uniforms, kits, and arms, and are ready in halt an hour to take their place in the ranks, stalling can exceed the order and regulari ty with which everything proceeds. To the great credit o_f the'Prussian soldier, 1 can state that since my arrival in the country I have not seen a' single man in unilorm the worse for liquor. Glory, indirectly, makes a man more thirsty than does patri otism. It is at a crisis like the present that the full value of the Prussian military sys- j fem is evident. The whole of the regi ments belong to various localities, from which they are exclusively raised. Each regiment of the line has a regiment of re serve composed exclusively ot the men who have served their time in that regi- j ment. Consequently when the reserve is. as at present, called in, every man finds ; himself among friends. By his side i> hi- ; younger brother, around him are his neigh bors." He is at home at once, and has. he- j sides, every incentive to distinguish him-! self in action, for he knows that his neigh-1 bors are looking on, and that every deed j of (hiring will lie noted and told at home, j It would be difficult to imagine any system so calculated to make heroes. In regiments raised like those of England, the local con nection exists only in name, and a soldier can scarcely hope that his deeds of bravery in the field will become the common talk of his neighbors and townspeople, and that the girl he loves will look with pride upon him as the acknowledged hero of the lo- j eality. Of course, under our present vol untary system this could not be carried out ; in England: but when the time comes that our long-talked-of reserve is to become a reality, it is to be hoped that this important feature of the Prussian system will not be lost sight of.—Berlin correspondence of tin j London Standard.

The Kidney?* are two in number, situated at the upper part of the loin, surrounded by fat. and con sisting of three parts, viz: the Anterior, the Interi or, and the Exterior. The anterior absorbs. Interior consists of tissues or veins, which serve as a deposit for the urine and convey it to tin* exterior. The exterior is a con ductor also, terminating in a single tube, and called the Ureter. The ureters are connected with' the bladder. The bladder is composed of various coverings or ti.Hsues. divided into parts, viz: the Upper, the Lower, the Nervous, ami tin* Mucous. The upper expels, the lower retains. Many have a desire to urinate without the ability: others urinate without the ability t* retain. This frequently occurs in children. To cure these affections, we must bring into ac tion the muscles, which are engaged in their vari ous functions. If they are neglected, Gravel or Dropsy may ensue. The reader must also be made aw are, that who ever slight may be the attack, it is sure to affect the bodily health and mental powers, as our flesh and blood’ are supimrted from these source#. Gut t, ok ItliEi matis.m.—l’ain occurring in the loins is indicative of the above diseases. They oc cur in persons disposed to acid stomach and chalky concretions. The Gravel.—The gravel ensues from neglect or improper treatment of the kidneys. These or gans being weak, the water is not expelled from the bladder, but allowed toremaiu; it fioeome* fever- j ish, and sediment forms. It is from this deposit ! that the stone is formed, and gravel ensues. Dropst is a collection of water in some parts of • the body, and bears diflerent names, according to j the parts affected, viz when generally diffused I over the body, it is called Anasarca; when of the ! abdomen, Ascites; when of the chest, Hydrotho* rax. Treatment.—Ilelrabold’s highly concentrated compound Extract ltuehu is decidedly one of the best remedies for diseases ot the bladder, kidneys, gravel, dropsical swellings, rheumatism,and gouty affections. Under this head we have arranged : Dvsuria, or difficulty and pain in passing water. Scanty Secretion, or small and frequent discharges i of water; .strangury, or stopping of water; Ilcma- [ tuna, or bloody urine; Gout and Rheumatism of the kidneys, without any change in quantitv, but i increase in rotor, or dark water. It was always j highly recommended by the late Dr. l’hysick, in i these affections. This medicine increases the power of digestion. : and excites the absorbents into healthy exercise l>\ w hich the watery or calcareous imposition*, mid ail unnatural enlargements, ns well as pain and in flammation. are reduced, and it is taken by men. : women, and children. Directions for use and diet accompany. Philadelphia, Penn., Feb. *25,1807. I II. T. Helmrolu, Druggi.-t-Dear MU: 1 have! been a sufferer for upwards of twenty years with | gravel, bladder and kidney affections, during w hich time I have used various medicinal preparations, j ami l>een under the treatment or the most eminent physicians, experiencing but little relief. Having seen your preparations extensively ad vertised. I consulted my family physicun in regard to using your Extract Buciiu. I did this because I had used a’l kinds of adver li>e‘l remedies and had found them worthless, and ; >ome quite injurious; in fact, I despaired of ever getting well, and determined to u*c no remedies hereafter unless I knew of the ingredient*. It was this that prompted me to use your remedy. As you advertised that it was composed of buciiu, eubebs and juniper berries, it occurred to me and my phys ician as an excellent combination; and with his ad vice, alter an examination of the article and con sulting again w ith the druggist, I concluded to trv it. I commenced to use it about eight mouths ago, at which time I was routined to my room. From the lirst bottle 1 was astonished at the ben eficial effect, and alter using it three weeks was able to w alk out. I felt much like writing to you a lull statement of my case at the time, but thought my improvement might only be temporary, and I therefore concluded to defer, ami see it it would 1 effect a perfect cure, knowing then it would be ol I greater value to you and more satisfactory to me. • 1 am now able to report that a cure is effected, i alter using the remedy for live months. 1 have not used any now Tor three mouths, and lee) as well in all respects as | ever did. V our liuehu being devoid of any unpleasant taste and odor, a nice tonic ami iuvigoratorof the system I do not mean to he without it whenever occasion may require its use in such affections. M.

Now, reader, self-abuse, venereal diseases badly cured, and sexual excesses, are all capable of pro ducing a weakness of the generative organs, flic organs ot generation, w hen in perfect health, make th man.

Allow me to call your attention to my PREPAR ATION OF COMPOCND EXTRACT 151 CHI’. The component parts are IH'CHU, Long Leaf, CT15EBS, Jl’NIPER BERRIES. Mode of Preparation.— Buchu, in vacuo. Jnnipey Berries, by distillation, to form a fine gin. Cubebs extracted by displacment with spirits ob tained from Juniper Berries; very little sugar is used, and a small proportion of spirit. It is more palatable than any now in use. Buchu, as prepared by Druggists, is of a dark color. It is a plant that emits its fragrance; the action of aflame destroys this (it* active principle), leaving a dark and glutinous decoction. Mine is the color ot ingredients. The Buchu in my prepar ation predominates; the smallest quantity of the oilier ingredients are added, to prevent fermenta tion; upon inspection, it w ill be found not to be a Tincture, as made in Phannacopuu, nor is it a Syrup—and therefore can be used in eases where fever or inflammation exists. In this, you have the know ledge of the ingredients and the mode of pre paration. Hoping that you will favor it with a trial, and that upon inspection it will meet w ith your appro bation.

All new inventions are carefully examined and tested, and it' approved, are adopted, regardless ot ex pense. while the many impractical humbugs that are patented, are left to grace some new wonder and learn the purchaser when too late, that he has “paid too dear for his whistle.” It should be re membered that the singer Manufacturing Com pany has never made a poor Machine—from the very llr-t twenty-odd years ago. They never buy editorial notice-*, or expend funds in “log-rolling” at Fairs to gain medal- or premiums. They simply make their Machines as valuable as money and science can perfect them—place them in their Mile- ltooius, and leave the public to lind out their virtues in their own way. lty thi- straight forward cour.-e they are now mamiiactiii ing about four hundred her dav, and at that rale, even, are unable to supply the demand.
