Jottings at the State Capital.
A NEW SENSATION.
The all-abeoraing legislative topic, this last week,
iras been the Metropolitan Health Bill. A truculent
newspaper war, and a belligerent state of public dis
cussion in and out of the “ Three Houses,” are still
exacerbating the subject. As I ventured to anticipate,
the Senate Bill was not received in the Assembly with
euch doming of hats and crooking of knees as over
eanguine outside gentlemen were innocent enough to
. expect The radical defects of the measure, as it
passed the “House of Peers,” could notescape our
argus-eyed “ Commons ;” and there are boldness
* and honesty enough in the latter, this year, to insure
the exposure of lobby concocted schemes, however
backed or bolstered. Ido not mean to imply that the
Health Bill is objectionable, as a measure, per se ; but
that it is unhappily surrounded there can be little
doubt; and there are men in the Assembly who fear
not to denounce its bad features, without much calcu
lation of consequences. Consequently, the Senate
Bill, after being referred to the House Committee,
became at once the subject of interest, and a caucus
to consider its wants was called for promptly. It will
be remembered that the Union caucus for nominating
purposes adjourned subject to the call of its chair
man, (Mr. Littlejohn) who is in favor of the Senate
Health Bill. But the one necessary for a proper ven
tilation of this important measure became so obvious
that a meeting of Union Assemblymen was convened
to meet on Tuesday afternoon last. The Bill was to
have been considered In Committee a few hours be
fore ; and a strong delegation of “ anxious inquirers ”
from New York, was on hand to advocate it; but the
proposed caucus postponed an occasion for some very
eloquent speeches by distinguished gentlemen of the
Hecker persuasion in politics.
THE “CONSPIRACY.”
The caucus on the Health Bill was one of the most
impromptu affairs ever witnessed. There was noth
ing “cut and dried” about it. Two hours’ notice was
all the members had, and the Executive Chamber
was as ignorant of any movement for it, as was the
most remote assistant stoker in the crypts of the Capi
tol. In fact, the movement to consider the Bill in a
meeting of Union Assemblymen, and thus get their
honest opinions, was entirely a spontaneous one, and
nobody had the least idea what the result of it would
be. This is sober truth, and is a sufficient commen
tary on the previous falsehoods of the and
other sheets, which charge complicity and conspiracy
upon the Governor, Speaker Tremaine and Mr. Coch
rane and others. The very fact that the Union caucus
could only be called by the Chairman, and that the
Chairman was Mr. Littlejohn, the shrewdest -poli
tician and most accomplished parliamentarian of the
Bession, shows that the “ thing was not done in a cor
ner,” and that no two or three members could have
cheated Mr. L. into a caucus against his will and in
terests. If there was a “conspiracy,” then, the
Speaker pro tern, as well as the Speaker de facto, was
“in it.”
THE CAUCUS.
The caucus met at 5 P. M., Tuesday, Mr. Richard
.ion, presiding. The Senate Bill in reference to Pub
lic Health being announced as the subject for discus-
Bion, Mr. Jenkins, of New York, offered a resolution
of Support to the “Metropolitan Health Bill, as the
eame has passed the Senate,” with an amendment, as
follows ;
Section 2. Within fifteen days after the passage of
this act the Governor shall nominate, and by and with
the advice and consent of the Senate, shall appoint, from
among the inhabitants of the said district, five suitable
persons (three of whom shall be physicians, one of whom
shall reside in the city of Brooklyn), who shall constitute
the Metropolitan Board of Health, and be denominated
Sanitary Commissioners, any three of whom shall consti
tute a quorum for the transaction of business at any reg
ular or adjourned meeting of said Board. The said five
persons so appointed shall hold office as su«h Commis
sioners respectively for the terms following, to wit: one
for one year, one for two years, one for three years, one
for four years, one for five years, and until their succes
sors shall be apointed and qualified.
iiio px vjjvwitivn of tne resolution was like casting
told water upon certain gentlemen in the caucus; and
its speedy translation to the cloakroom,and other pur
lieus, caused a “ shivery shaky” sensation to run
through the very respectable broadcloth Lobby in
waiting thereabouts. Mr. Littlejohn speedily took
the floor in opposition to the amendment, and was
eupported by Judge Selden, Mr. Hoskins, Mr. T. E.
Stewart, of New York, and Mr. Goodrich of Brook
lyn. On the side of the amendment, speeches were
made by Judge Tremaine, and Messrs. J. L. Parker,
Cochrane, Wilber, Pitts and Brandrcth. Amendments
were offered to the amendment of Mr. Jenkins; one,
by D. P. Wood, to vest the appointment of Commis
sioners in the Legislature, by joint ballot; anoth
er, as a substitute by Mr. Hoskins; but these were
voted down, and the resolution of Mr. Jenkins was
adopted by a vote of 64 to 13—a tally of one half the
whole Assembly as against the Senate Bill.
SPIRIT OF THE CAUCUS.
The spirit of this meeting was .intense, and the
thirteen gentlemen who supported the Bill as it passed
the Senate were quite as demonstrative as the fifty
four antagonists. It is evident that more was felt
to depending than even the Health of New York City
—that is more in a political point of view. In fact,
the Health Bill, this Session has become a pivotal
measure, on which may revolve hereafter, the great
est political interests of our State. Speaker Tremain
undoubtedly speaks the sentiments of the Union
Party In demanding that the Boards of Commission
ers in N. Y. City should represent the Union major
ity of the State, and not be mere tenders and go-be- i
tween for an effete faction, calling itself “ Democrat- (
ic.” On the other hand, it is significant, that parties '
long identified with the old Albany Regency, and ac
customed to “ go in, share and share alike” with the
Democratic leaders, are notoriously in favor now of
appointing what they term “ non-partisan” Boards,
in which “ Democratic interests” shall be represent
ed equally. Such stultification of itself by the Union
majority is urged by two or three ostensibly “ Repub
can” newspapers, and their course is warmly en
dorsed by the Argus, World N. Y. Express, and other
journals of “ pronounced” copperhead antecedents.
DEMOCRATIC ‘ * INSTINCTS. ”
It is an “ instinct” of your true Democratic paper
and partisan to smell “spoils,” as Job’s war-horse
snuffed the battle—“afar off.” Long abstinence from
the fleshpots make them peculiarly sensitive at the
present time to the least aroma of prospective plunder
or official influence whereby plunder .can be secured.
Hence, the vital interest that “Democratic” journals,
and a “Democratic” Lobby, now take in the “Metro
politan Health Bill.” They are confident—with what
ground I know not—that if the measure be passed as ‘
voted for in the Senate; i. e., if the present Police
Board, with two Democrats and two “Conservatives” ■
constituting it, can be united with another Board of ,
“four Conservatives,” in the shape of easily-manipu
lated doctors—the “Democratic” party of New York
will easily obtain control of all its patronage. Boole, .
or somebody else “o’ that jlh,” will be made Superin
tendent—and the “old machine” will be new-gi‘eased
—at the Union party’s expense and risk for the future.
“Spoils*” therefore, loom up nicely in view of our 1
“jJvlfidcraiic-Conservativc-citizens,” and hence their
oitier attacks on the Union Assembly Caucus, which
threatens to defeat the “best laid plans o’ mice and
men” in the Lobby way. “Instinct” is a great thing,
eaid old Jack Fallstaff.
A WOODEN HORSE OF TROY.
The “Health Bill” as presented this year has been
notably “eulogized and amended,” since the Citizens’
Association started Hecker, and its “organ” tunes
have been played by professionalists. Let any one
compare the modest and single-purposed measure, as
prepared by the “ Convert of Hygiene” with its suc
cessor as “doctored” by lay-practitioners, and he will
learn how cats can be cleverly concealed in meal
bags.
The present Health Bill, in fact, as compared with
former ones, is a “horse of another color,” adroitly
manipulated by veterans of the Third House. The
“hobby” of last year—has this year been erected into
a “stalking-horse,” with a grim-skeleton of death be
striding it 1 Well-intentioned Senators have been
bidden to look upon that ghostly rider, and run the
bill through, for the purpose of unseating such a ter
rible spectre. It was “ Death on the Pale Horse,” as
trotted out by Senator Andrews, witn four Police
Commissioners on side, and four Doctors on the other.
“Vote for it or perish! Delay is death 1” shrieked our
Union Senators, who held the bridle while the shrewd
“ Democratic ” gentlemen behind them laughed in
their sleeves at the sure prospect of more Democratic
patronage in New York and Kings than ever they had
before. But there were ten Union Senators who had
the courage to look into and under this stalking-horse
of a Health Bill ; and they found it, very much, like
the famous old wooden steed of Troy, to contain some
armed enemies of our Union organization and its
principles. Hence they voted, in Senate, against the
Health Hobby, and were not frighteped by the phan
tom of cholera which grinned at them. Hence now,
Bixty-four Assembymen, after due deliberation,declare
tha| they are not yet prepared to surrender the power
and influence of their party to the corruptionists whom
tMJ iiSt Fal1 !“ tw very State Capital,
the real bone OF CONTENTION.
The question as to whether “ Commiae<y o ers flf
Health” shall be named by the Legislature in a bill,
or by the Governor and Senate, is not the true issue
in this contest. The real point of dispute is, whether
a measure, for which our entire Union Party is to be
held responsible, shall be “ cooked up” in advance by
parties and persons who tried, last Fall, and have al
ways tried, to break down the Union Party and its
principles 1 The point is not whether “ scientific
physicians” are or are not the best custodians of New
York streets and tenant-houses, or whether the Police
Board is the proper body to invest with co-ordinate
powers as the moiety of a Board of Health; but whe
ther the real integrity and faculty to do good of the
Union majority shall be neutralized by the notorious
partisan proclivities and affiliations of “ Democratic”
authorities io our metropolis. If the Union Party is
worth anytLiL" It cilStS w? «uy purpose at
aIK-must be shown by its action. If that action is
merely negative, what are WC to think of the Party «
'The Legislative majority* this year, the
foweb to give us a responsible Uniqx health Boaud
NeW York city. Such poWeb entails equal respon
sibility, and to its utmost responsibility our Party
will be held. If it divides its offices with “ Democrats,”
It will abdicate its power, bat it will still be held re-
Sincere Union men are not quite pre
?ared to “do good to those who hate them and
espitefully'ttse them,” in this wholesale way. Hence
ihe animus of our Union ’caucus of last 'Tuesday.
“ THE BOARD OF CONTROL.”
Mr. Jenkins is zealous and indefatigable. We ought
M have more members like him from New York city.
His bill to create a Board of Control for the Metropo
lis is creating quite a sensation; and he is not the
man to make a,“flutter” only. It provides that
there shall be appointed by the Governor and Senate
“ eight persons, residents of New York City,” who
shall constitute a Board of Commissioners, with
power to investigate into the official acts or proceed
ings of all persons holding any office of honor or
emolument in the city of Nev York, and the Commis-
Bioners of Central Park, Metropolitan Fire Depart
ment, etc. In case of any of these officials neglect
ing to reply to the requests of these Commissioners,
or failing to furnish information as to the condition
of affairs in their charge, the Commissioners may di
rect the removal of such officials, and the person thus
removed shall be disqualified from again holding the
office until the expiration of three years from the date
of his removal. The Board shall exercise and enjoy
all the rights and powers, and perform all the duties,
of the Boards of Supervisors, Aidermen and Council
# men, and of the Mayor, and shall examine and audit
all bills and claims of any nature against the city and
county of New York. This bill is sufficiently “sweep
ing” for a new broom, and I should like to see a han
dle to it.
PROTECTION OF SEAMEN.
Senator Laban,who is as energetic as public-spirited,
eucceeded the last week in getting an act “ for the bet.
ter protection of seamen in the port of New York,”
passed to a third reading and disposed of. This
measure proposes to put a stop to “ boarding-house
running ” and-its infamous agencies. The boarding
house bullies, so well known as useful auxiliaries of
Democratic politicians in the “lower Wards,” have
been baking for some time under the threatened
blow; and on Thusday last, when the bill came up
for passage, the Hon. H. C. Murphy arose in his place
and moved to recommit, in order to strike out the
section which places the enforcement of its provisions
Id the hands of certain benevolent societies. Senator
Labau, in reply, said he was not in favor of putting
the power in the hafids of the “mayors,” particularly
where the mayoralty chair might be filled, “ as it was
in one instance, by a man who regretted that he was
not able to send arms to the South.** This brought the
Hon. Ben. Wood to his feet, indignant at the cap fit
ting his kinsman, the great Fernando. He said he
“ rose to a point of order,” but on the President ask
ing him to reduce the point to writing, Brother Ben.
backed out of the scrape, and left his friends, the
boarding-house runners, to shift for themselves. How
Senator H. C. Murphy was induced to play into his
New York colleague’s hands, in the matter, I cannot
see; but his motion to amend did no good, and tne
' bill passed as ordered, with only one vote against it—
that of the Hon. Benjamin himself.
SENATOR LENT ON THE COMMON COUNCIL.
Senator Lent is quietly measuring his ground, day
by day, to strike at some of the abuses of New York
municipal rule. The outrageous practice of donating
and leasing city property, by act of the Mayor and
Common Council, to this, that and the other Roman
Catholic institution, is calling his attention just
now. He was powerless in last year’s Council
Board, to oppose successfully the hundred schemes of
this sort which were brought before it; but he is
now in a position to advocate successfully any
such legislation as is required to stop the Common
Council swindles. His bill to restrain the Mayor, Ai
dermen and Commonalty of New York from leasing
property is already reported to the Senate.
BOARD OF EXCISE.
Senator Lent has introduced a bill to transfer the
powers and duties of the present License Commis
sioners to a Board of Excise to be composed of the
present Board of Metropolitan Police Commissioners.
They are to have no increase of compensation, but
may appoint an Inspector of Excise at a salary of
$2,000. The bill likewise prohibits the sale or gift of
liquor, wine, beer, or ale, to any minor under eight
een, without the consent of the guardian of such per
son—and to any husband, provided the wife requests
such inhibition; all license fees received are to be ap
propriated to diminish the expenses of the Police De
partment. The latter Board appears to be looking up
in the way of patronage. Why not transfer the Chari
ties and Correction, Alms House, etc., to its parental
care ?
MORE CAUCUSSING.
The Union caucus has set private caucussers at
work in all the highways and byways. The demo
cratic “ rump” met forlornly on Thursday, and voted
to give all the rt aid and comfort” they could to the
Union members who were disposed to “disorganize.”
It is understood that the “ democratic” votes in both
houses will be thrown “solid” for the Senate Health
Bill, in order to distract and divide Union counsels
up to the point of passing the bill, and then they are
to “go in a body” against the measure. In other
words, the “ factious” Union members are to be used
as a “cat’s-paw” to get chestnuts out of the Assembly
fire, for the “ democratic” monkey, and when that is
done, the monkey is to repudiate his feline instru
ment.
THE POLICE COMMISSION.
The vacancy that will occur on the expiration of
McMurray’s term is to be filled (so says the Lobby) by
joint ballot of the “ Democrats” and the “ present Po
lice Board.” That is to say, as I understand it, Mr.
McMurray is to be pushed by his Police colleagues,
through certain “ Union’’ representatives of the “ De
partment” here. On the other hand, the “Anti-
Ring” Union members of both Houses are canvassing
every night, and have resolved to support a certain
gentleman of what you call tne “radical” stripe in
New York. But the matter is to come before a regu
larly convened caucus next week, and will be settled,
with or without a “ bolt.”
APPOINTMENTS. ’ -
The Harbor Master vacancy was filled by confirma
tion of the Governor’s appointment, last Wednesday,
James E. Watson being the gentleman. For Loan
Commissioners of Queen’s county, Mscsrs. Sam. 8. S.
Aymar and Latham M. Jaggar, of Jamaica, L. I.
HALL OF TROPHIES.
The Bill to authorize a town tax to raise the bal
ance of funds for the construction of this monument
to Patriotism, was introduced last week by Mr. Lock
wood. It simply permits Supervisors to collect the
puotas assigned to towns, by assessing a pro rata tax.
The innumerable priceless relics of the war (includ
ing nearly a thousand banners) confided to the Bu
reau of Military Record, arc now crowded into a little
fire-proof building which cost but fifteen hundred
dollars. The City of Albany has appropriated a splen
did site for the proposed new Hall—the groundnow
occupied by the Reservoir—and it is to be hoped the
money to build will shortly be raised, and a structure
worthy of State pride and gratitude be reared to the
honor of our soldiers.
THE STATE MEDICAL SOCIETY.
This “ convocation of politic” doctors has been in
full action during several days of the last week, hold
ing its annual session. The medical profession ap
pears to be extensively represented, and an interest
ing interchange of scientific views is the consequence.
Meantime, the doctors, with an eye to business, have
indorsed the Senate Health Bill. On Wednesday
evening many of them attended the Governor’s Re
ception, and there has been a sensibly hygienic at
mosphere around the Legislative lobbies for a day or
two.
THE WORKINGMEN.
Tho Convention of Trades has not been largely at
tended, there having been but twenty-five members
present at its opening. What it lacks in numbers,
however, it makes up in zeal, and it has indorsed the
Eight Hour Movement, thanked Mr. Brandreth for
his advocacy, and appointed committees to push re
forms before the Legislature.
THE GOVERNOR’S RECEPTION.
On Wednesday night took place the third—and last
—of these pleasant reunions, attended by some three
hundred guests. The elegant hospitalities of the oc
casion were gracefully dispensed by the Governor’s
family, and the company, which was a brilliant and
agreeable one, included several prominent New York- ‘
ers.
OPINION ON THE HEALTH BILL.
Since Tuesday’s caucus—in spite of the virulence of
a few partisan or factious papers—the proposed
amendments to the Senate Bill are growing in favor.
It is pertinently asked why—if there is no ulterior
object in view—there should be certain persons named
for high office by the Bill, and their nomination made
a sine qua non— thus departing from all previous usage,
which has vested the appointing power in our Execu
tive? If there is an issue made, which may jeopar
dize the measure—it is justly asked— “ Who makes
it?” Is a majority of four gentlemen, which passed 1
the Senate Bill, to preclude all emendation by the
Assembly; and will those gentlemen assume to dic
tate to both the Governor and their co-ordinate col
leagues in the other Legislative Branch? Surely
Union Senators will never attempt to force a quarrel
where none ought to exist. Faction is at all times to !
be deprecated, but faction which aims to destroy ■
“Union,” and galvanize the dry bones of “Democra
cy”—by a distribution of official “pap” to its ever
open maw—is simply suicidal. Cholera is terrible,
and to be feared; but any compromise or connection
with New York city “Democracy,” is “worse than the
cholera.”
P. S.—THE HEALTH BILL REPORTED.
The Metropolitan Health Bill has been just reported
to the Assembly by Mr. Congdon* and Mr. Berry
man, at the same time offered a Minority Repori, to
the reception of which Mr. J. L. Parker objected, and
the Speaker decided that—the Minority of a Commit
tee could not report a bill, though they might express
their dissent. Mr. Littlejohn appealed from this
ruling, but subsequently withdrew his appeal; where
at the Speaker took the floor, to defend his decision,
and a sharp passage-at-arms took place between him
and the ex-Speaker. The minority report was re
ceived —the members ruling for its reception as an
act of courtesy. The Minority Bill is the Senate Bill
—so the issue is drawn in the House.
EDITORIAL CONVENTION.
The Semi-Annual Meeting of the New York Editors’
and Publishers’ Association is to be held at the Dela
van House next Thursday. A representation from
any newspaper and publishing house in the State is
requested by the call.
f hutnml ami (Eommcmat.
Saturday, Feb. 10, P. M.
It would be interesting, were the statistics sufficiently
reliable to institute a comparison between the profits re
alized in different classes of investments during the last
four yeans of fluctuation. Nearly all have done well, but
those in the South who lost their all on the stake of war.
This is most forcibly illustrated by the activity which has
been manifested for the last week or two in the Real
Estate business, and the enormous prices which have in
some instances have realized for available business prop
erty. It willl be remembered that the Summer and Au.
tumn following the commencement of hostilities with
the South was one of severe depression and great dull
ness in all classes of business. Leases of real estate
made at that time have proved among the mo°‘ 'm<Jrative
of any of those fortunate investment {ortanea
Kaye been mode, and by far to safest, as they did not re-
Vne outlay of ally capital. Since that time, until
the present, notwithstanding the high prices of labor and
material the largest possible amount of building has been
going on. Real estate men generally think this great
rush for houses will be ended the coming Spring, and
that thereafter prices will be lower and accommodations
better. At present very many investments in real estate
are paying as high as 25 per cent, in rents, and this with
out any possible danger of loss, as in other speculations.
In Wall street it is generally very well determined in
February what everybody is going to do the first of May,
and the prices thus far realized do not show the advance
which is noticed in Broadway, and up-town property—
an indication tkat merchants, and not speculators and
money lenders, will be dominant for the year now open
ing.
The Stock Ex’jbfl’lge has exhibited too slight changes
the to make a very tempting field for specula
tion. The buVs and bears have it all to themselves, and
they are pretty nearly an even balance. When the
brokers take their one-eighth for buying and the same
for selling, the profit is greater to themselves, at the last
week’s quotations, than to the outsider.
Government Securities are in steady demand. ICMOs
have stood at 5-20 s have declined a fraction
at the latter part ©I the week—lo3@lo3)4@lo3@lo2%; V-30s
are considered a good investment when money on the
street will only bring 5@6 cent.; the price has been
steady at
Railroad Securities have been much talked of, but the
number of investments in them small. The returns of
the lending lines show large margins for profit. New
York Central has been within 87%@88 for the week; Erie,
Hudson River, 99>£@101; Reading, 97}£@100;
Illinois Central, 115; Prairie du Chien, 95; and Cumber
land Coal, 44.
American Gold has been in large request for the pay
ment of customs; the price has been 139%@139%@140%@
139)4-
Money has been in large supply for any good security
for weeks. The rate on the best securities is 5@6 cent.
The high rate of interest now prevailing abroad appears
to have little effdet here. The export of specie thus far
this year amounts to about four millions. This, with the
other exportations, and the amount of our bonds they
are constantly taking, probably leaves a very small bal
ance—if, indeed, any—against us on the other side of the
water.
The large sum in the Sub-Treasury here, which amount
ed to a hundred millions last week, has been slightly di
minished by balances sent to Washington, and the bal
ance at present is a little short of ninety millions.
The interest on three hundred millions of the 7-30
notes falls due next Thursday, aggregating $10,950,000,
and the Sub-Treasurer advertises for the holders of thirty
or more coupons to send them in at once.
The San Francisco Mint coined, for the year 1865,
$21,233,500 in gold, and $633,400 in silver. The gold coin
age was in double eagles, eagles, half-eagles, and quarter
eagles; the silver fn half-dollars, quarter-dollars, dimes,
and half-dimes.
The National Banks now number 1,629, with an aggre
gate capital of $407,759,203, and a total circulation of
$251,360,050.
The number of vessels in port show a slight falling off
from last week, all classes numbering under 570.
The fears as to the scarcity of cotton, this Win ter and
the coming Spring, are put at rest by t'.o‘steady flow

i from the South. The price is steadily falling, and there
• is little demand for it at present figures. The receipts at
this port for the week have averaged about five thousand
' bales per day. As a consequence, the dry goods market
tends strongly downward for all goods of domestic manu
facture. The community will see with pleasure any r&-
vulsion of trade which brings with it a heavy decline in
this line, as in no other department has there been more
extensive speculation or more exorbitant exactions.
WHAT WE BUY IN EUROPE,
as represented by nearly the total amount of imports at
this port, still continues slightly in excess of what we
send them of the products of our own industry and re
sources. The total imports thus far this year are
$25,170,072 against exports of $23,322,613. Among the im
ports of the last week we notice $35,378 in China and
earthenware; $17,705 in glass plate; $20,892 in brimstone;
$12,419 in indigo; $13,710 in paints; $34,628 in furs;
$13,864 in lemons; $6,581 in oranges; $47,704 in nuts;
$96,669 in raisins; $10,289 in musical instruments; $13,549
in jewelry; $57,85’7 in watches; $83,372 in wines and cham
pagnes; $24,692 in copper; $62,857 in cutlery; $7,985 in
books; $20,145 in paper; $56,523 in buttons; $270,688 in
coffee; $86,955 in fancy goods; $135,849 in sugar; $100,855
in tea; and $4,380,620 in dry goods.
Among the exports of domestic produce, to pay for the
above imports, we notice for the week 29,488 barrels wheat
flour, 128,656 bushels corn, 14,987 bales cotton, 2,787 tai re«s
pork and beef, 644,889 pounds cutmeats, 665,390 gallons
petroleum, 104,236 pounds butter, 555,340 pounds cheese,
473,441 pounds lard, &c., &c.

HELMBOLD’S
FLUID EXTRACT BUCHU
FOR WEAKNESSES
ARISING FROM EXCESSES OR INDISCRETION.
The Constitution once affected by Organic Weakness,
requires the aid of medicine to strengthen and invigorate
the system, which Helmbold’s Extract Buchu invariably
does. If no treatment be submitted to, Consumption or
Insanity may ensue.
HELMBOLD’S
FLUID EXTRACT BUCHU,
In affections peculiar to females, is unequaled by any
other preparation, as in Chlorosis or Retention, Irregu
larities, painfulness or suppression of customary evacua
tions, Ulcerations or Schirrous state of the Uterus, Leu
corrhoea, and all complaints incident to the sex, whether
arising from habits of dissipation, imprudencies, or in the
Decline or Change of Life.
HELMBOLD’S
FLUID EXTRACT BUCHU
AND
IMPROVED ROSE WASH,
Will radically exterminate from the system Diseases of
the Urinary Organs arising from habits of dissipation, at
little expense, little or no change in diet, and no exposure,
completely superseding those unpleasant and dangerous
remedies, Copaiba and Mercury, in curing those unpleas
ant and dangerous diseases.
USE HELM BOLD’S
FLUID EXTRACT BUCHU
In all cases of the Urinary Organs, whether existing in
male or female, from whatever cause originating, and no
matter of how long standing. It is pleasant in taste and
odor, immediate in its action, and more strengthening
han any of the preparations of Bark or Iron.
Those suffering from Broken Down or Delicate Consti
tutions, procure the Remedy at once.
The reader must be aware that however slight may be
the attack of the above disease, it is sure to affect his bod
ily health, mental powers, happiness, and that of his pos
terity. Our flesh and blood are supported from these
sources.
PHYSICIANS, PLEASE NOTICE!
We make no secret of the ingredients. HELMBOLD’S
FLUID EXTRACT BUCHU is composed of Buchu, Cu
bebs and Juniper Berries, selected with great care, and
prepared in vacuo by H. T. HELMBOLD, Druggist and
Chemist of sixteen years’ experience in the city of Phila
aAi P h>A, *n<i whinh 1r now proscribed by the most emi
nent physic ans, has been admitted to use in the United
States army, and is also in very general use in State Hos

Gents: Please send me two boxes of your Diamond
Hair Powder, for which you will find inclosed two (2)
dollars. I called at a druggist’s in this vicinity, a few
days since, and asked for a box of King s Diamond Hair
Powder. He informed me that he had not king s,
but had some put up by himself. Thinking they were all
alike, I purchased a box, and found, after using it, my
hair was terribly cut. Now, if yours is the same kind,
please do not send it.
