“HOW MOTHER DID IT.*’
If we were to suggest one which, above
nil other things combined, would most con
tribute to the happiness of the young house
keeper, it would bo to learn how to cook
as a husband's mother cooked. Mother
used to nave such wafiles; and mother
knew just how thick or thin to make squash
pies; and oh 1 if I only eould t*ste ol
mother's biscuit. Such are the comments ,
of the husband end of too many meal ■
tables. It would be only a little more cruel j
for the husband to throw his (ork across
the table, or to dash the contents of his tea
cup in his wife’s face. The experience oi a
contrite husband is good reading for those
men whose daily sauce is “how mothei
did it.” He says: *
“I found fault some time ago with Maria
Ann’s custard pie, and tried to toll her how
my mother made custard pie. Maria made
the pie after my receipt. It lasted longer
than any other pie we ever had. Maria
set it on "the table every day for dinner,
and vou sec I could not eat it because 1
forgot to tell her to put lu any eggs, or
shortening. It was economical, but in a
fit of generosity 1 stole it from the pantry
and gave it to' a poor little boy in the
neighborhood. The boy’s funeral was
largely attended by his former playmates.
I did not go myself.
Then there were the buckwheat cakes.
I told Maria Ann any fool could beat her
making those cakes, and she said 1 had
lietter try it. So I did. I emptied the bat
ter all out of the pitcher one evening and
warned by the past, put in a liberal quanti
ty of eggs and shortening. I shortened
with tallow from roast beef because I could
not find any lard. The batter did not look
right, and I lit my pipe, and pondered
yeast—yeast to be sure. 1 had forgotten
the yeast. I went and woke up the baker
and got six cents worth of yeast . 1 set the
pitcher behind the sitting-room stove and
went to bed. In the morning 1 trot up
early and prepared to enjoy my triumph;
but 1 didn’t. That yeast was strongenough
to raise the dead, and the batter was run
ning all over the carpet. I scraped it up
and put it in another dish. Then I got a
fire in the kitchen and put on the griddle.
The first lot stuck to the griddle. The
second dittoed, only more. Maria came
down and asked what was burning. She
advised me to grease the griddle. I did it.
One end of the griddle got too hot and I
dropped the tiling on my tendercst corn,
while trying to turn it around. Finally the
cakes were ready for breakfast, and Maria
fot the other things ready. We sat down.
ly cakes did not have exactly the right
flavor. I took one mouthful and it satisfied
me. I lost my appetite at once. Maria
would not let* me put one on her plate.
I think those cakes may he reckoned a dead
loss! The eat would not eat them. The
dog ran off and stayed away three days
after one was offered him. The liens won’t
go within ten feet of them. I threw them
into the back-yard, and there has not been
a pig on the premises since. I eat what is
put before me now, and do not allude to
my mother’s system of cooking.”—A JIus

H, T. HELMBOLD’S
CONCENTRATED
Fluid Extract Buchu.
rr h e
GREAT DIURETIC.
The Proprietor trusts that his Remedies, from the
fact of being advertised, nufy not be classed as Pa
tent Medicines.
BUCIIU, in one form or other, has been presented
by every educated Physician for more than
TWO HUNDRED YEARS.
H. T. HELMBOLD claims a superior mode of
extractinguts virtues. The experiments were made
while engaged in the DRUG business in the city of
Philadelphia, nineteen years ago, prompted by tin*
atatming increase of diseases of the Bladder, Kid
neys, Gravel and Urinary Organs, existing in both
sexes. These diseases were justly attracting as
much attention ns diseases of the Liver, or any
other vital organs of the body. Upon the sound and
healthy condition of these important organs, the
healthy and harmonious action of the nervous sys
tem and Liver, and consequently the happiness of
the entire human family, depends. That Buchu
should act up^n both Liver and Kidneys, to pre
pare it so that it would retain its strength and active
principle, was his aim. It must not be made, as
housekeepers make tea, by boiling. It is a delicate
Leaf, and its active principle would be destroyed
by such a process. It must be prepared in VACUO,
and from the Long-leaf, lresli and carefully se
lected.
THE SUPERIORITY OF MY MODE OF PRE
PARATION BEING ACKNOWLEDGED, I now
ship even to the point (CAPE OF GOOD HOPE),
where the leaves are gathered, large quantities of
MY FLUID EXTRACT.
IN FACT, THE ARTICLE STANDS PRE-EMI
NENT, AND IS KNOWN IN ALL PARTS OF THE
WORLD.
The first and most important object was to offer
to the afflicted a remedy that was perfectly safe,
and could be taken by adults and children. Igno
rant persons, who pay no attention to dose, direc*
tion, or advice, might reason, ‘’That if a teaspoon
fill, taken occasionally, did good, two would do
better, and perhaps a bottle would cure in a day.”
Many have broken down their health by dissipa
tion, ami on his principle; but they had been years
in doing, so.
What 1 would have understood] is, that no injury
can arise from its use. It is as safe as any article
of food; but patients must not expect any medicine
to rebuild a wrecked or shattered constitution in a
few days.
This truth is so self-evident that it would seem
unnecessary to repeat it, were it not for the fact that
thousands of persons who are intelligent in all other
matters, seem to think unreasonably, that a cura
tive agent must exhibit its specific effects immedi
ately, when the fact is, that time is often an impor
tant element in the progress of a safe and thorough
cure, even when the medicine is working the best
results. These same persons would expend HUN
DREDS, yes, THOUSANDS of DOLLARS, in
articles of LUXURY and DISSIPATION, and think
less of it than they would of FIFTY DOLLARS in
medicine to rebuild a BROKEN DOWN and WORN
OUT CONSTITUTION.
Notwithstanding the number of years I have been
engaged in business, there may be those located at
u distance that may not be aware of all the facts,
and would like to be satisfied on all the points.
Having been educated a druggist, I append the fol
lowing
From the Largest Manufac
turing Chemist in
the World.
“I am acquainted with Mr. H. T. Helmbold; lie
occupied the Drug Store opposite ray residence,
and was successful in conducting the business
where others had not been equally so before him.
1 have been favorably impressed with his charac
ter and enterprise.”
WILLIAM WEIGIITMAN,
Firm of Powers A Wcightman, Manufacturing
Chemists, Ninth and Brown Streets, Philadel
phia, Nov. 15, 1854.
1 propose to give evidence that this Remedy is
not a patent medicine. The objection which gener
ally lie* against all discoveries and inventions in
medicine is “publicity.” If somebody should dis
cover a remedy to prolong life, or an infallible cure
for cholera or consumption, what a monster would
he be to withhold his knowledge 1 We have yet to
learn from what chapter or verse in Scripture to
quote, “that may not heal others of their fellow men
of any disease.”
Nor have we asked Pickwicks, affected prudes,
or, in short, men who are possessed of every kind
of sense but common sense, and all kinds of opin
ions but their own. The Buchu is a good thing. It
has hundreds of thousands of living witnesses to
attest its virtues and commend it. It is the preju
dice of bigots and the envy of “Quacks.”
We offer the following evidence

Girard, Pa., March 31, 18G0.
Editor Cosmopolite :—I desire, as an unsolici
ted tribute to the merits of 11 elm hold’s Btr.ur,
and for the benellt of those similarly a 111 ic ted as
myself, to say that after consulting many eminent
physicians and trying nearly all the best advertised
remedies, in the vain hope of finding relief from
aggravated kidney and bladder diseases, from
which I have suffered excessively for many years,
good fortune finally suggested to me Hklmhold’s
BUCIIl', which I commenced using with little faith,
and no apparent beneficial effects for about a
month. At the expiration of that time, however, 1
thought I commenced to experience slight relief,
which encouraged me to persevere in its use, and
now at the expiration of four months, although 1
am an infirm old man, nearly seventy-eight years
of age, and consequently medicines cannot be ex
pected to favorably affect mo ns they otherwise
| would, I have found such unspeakable relief and
permanent benefit from Mr. Ilelmbold’s valuable
discovery, that I feel 1 ought to publicly record the
fact, as an acknowledgment to him, and a valuable
suggestion to the public. Yours respectfully,
D. M. LA REN.

is a physician of over 30 years experience, an<l a
graduate of the Jefferson Medical College, and
of the University of Medicine and .Surgery of Phil
adelphia.
MR. II. T. IlELMBOLD—DEAR Sir: In regard to
the question asked me as to my opinion about Bu
ell u, I would say 1 have used and sold the article in
various forms for the past thirty years. I do not
i think there is any form or preparation of it I have not
used, or known to be used, iu the various diseases
where such medical patent would be indicated.
You are 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 warranted by the facts.
1 have seen and used, as before stated, every form
of Buchu—the powdered leaves, tincture fluid ex
tracts—and 1 am not cognizant of anv 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 you precedence over all others.
1 value your Buchu for its effect on patients. 1
have cured with it, and seen cured \\ ith it. more
diseases of the bladder and kidneys than I have
ever seen cured with any other buchn or any other
proprietary compound of whatever name.
Respectfully votirs, Ac.,

A Case of Twenty Years’
Standing.
Philadelphia, Pa., June 25,1867.
II.T. IIelmbold, Druggist—Dear Sir: I have
been a sufferer for upwards of twenty years ith
gravel, bladder and kidney affections, during which
time 1 have used various medicinal preparations
and been under the treatment of the most eminent
physicians, experiencing but little relief.
llariug seen your preparations extensively ad
vertised, I consulted my family physiean in regard
to using your Extract liuchu.
1 did this because I had used all 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 buchu, cutiebs
and juniper berries, it occurred to me and my phys
ician as an excellent combination; and with'liis ad
vice, alter an examination of the article and con
sulting again with the druggist, I concluded to try
it. 1 commenced to use it about eight months ago,
at which time I was contlued to my room.
From the first bottle 1 was astonished at the ben
eficial effect, and after using it three weeks was
able to walk out. I felt much like writing to you a
full statement of my case at the time, but thought
my improvement might only be temporary, and
therefore concluded to defer, and see it it *would
effect a perfect cure, knowing then it would be ol
greater value to you and more satisfactory to me.
1 am now able to report that a cure is effected,
after using the remedy for five months.
1 have not used any now for three months, and
leel as well in all respects as J ever did.
Your Buchu being devoid of any unpleasant taste
and odor, a nice tonic and invigorator of the system,
I do not mean to be without it whenever occasion
may require its use in such affections.
