Bfstorj of the Late Rebellion, 
FROM 
1860 to 1865. PUBLISHERS NOTE. 
In testimony of his appreciation of a laudable enterprise for assisting 
the Disabled Veterans of the War, the Widows and Orphans of those 
who fell in defence of our country, to earn a livelihood, 
MR. H. T. HELMBOLD, CHEMIST, 
the Great Public Benefactor, has purchased of us this entire edition 
of our 
CHRONOLOGICAL RECORD OF THE WAR. 
The dates of Battles, Officers Commanding, &c., are reliable; and not- 
withstanding the matter has been procured at great outlay of Time and Money, 
which, if not condensed, would make an 8mo. volume, still the reader has all the 
important facts, and the price at Retail has been placed by Mr. 11. at Five 
Cents [Kir copy, only. 
It is valuable to those visiting foreign countries, and to children, as it 
affords interesting study and instruction. 
To every honorably discharged Soldier and Sailor seeking r pleasant, 
and profitable employment, it will be furnished by Mr. Hklmbold for simply 
the cost of paper, without reference to the printing. 
SOLDIERS & SAILORS’ PUBLISHING COMPANY. The Leaves of the Tree wero for the Healing of the Nations. 
Wc havo published the celebrated medical advertisement of Dr. H. T. Helmbold. 
Previous to doing so, we have received a modcrato reward, in the usual way, of payment, 
which wc apply to all the wares, wants, and business cards we present to our readers. 
It is our custom to examine everything thoroughly which we offer through our columns, 
and to refuse all that we cannot commend. Now, as our readers know we never do 
anything by halves, they can readily infer that when a so-called medical advertisement 
occupies a whole page in the Church Union, we mean something by it. It is not our 
purpose to dodge or tergiversate, or to wink at any such thing. We have no managing 
agent who smuggles into one column what is boldly condemned in another. The Gettys. 
burg Asylum swindle came to us; we judged not by feeble sense, popular disfavor, »or 
by Congressional action, but wo examined for ourselves, and no money in the world could 
buy one inch of the Church Union to commend it. Precisely the same course we pursued 
toward Helmbold’s Buchu. We had seen it everywhere ; it haunted our vision on rock, 
mountain, and curbstone; in the cars, on steamboats, and by the wayside, we saw this 
omnipresent specific advertised. We never gave it a thought—never condemned it, never 
commended it; did not rush in the face of prejudices, and cry out quack, quack! We 
knew nothing of It; had other, and we thought, more important subjects for comtempla- 
tion, than this wonderful medicine. So when it came up for our consideration, we deter- 
mined to investigate for ourselves. As we do in theology, so do we in medicine—never 
ask, “ What does Dr. so-and-so think, or say, or surmise ?M If it is wrong, all the world 
may espouse, yet let our right hand forget its cunning, and our tongue cleave to the roof 
of our mouth, if we waver one atom in our devotion. If it be right, not even the fact that 
a host commend, and a fortune is being made out of it, shall keep us from fidelity to it. For 
there may be many men so mean in this world that they will never advocate a good thing 
if anybody gets a good living by it. We know of men who won’t hear Henry Ward 
Beecher preach, because he lives in a brown stone front, and manages to keep the wolf 
from the door, quite easily. Just bo with Dr. Helmbold; because he is making a fortune 
by his enterprise, wo cannot bend ourselves to the mean task of condemnation and whole, 
sale slander. There is something about the man you like at once. He is no quack. A 
quack is an empiricist, who tampers with disease, by applying remedies he knows nothing 
about. Dr. Helmbold is an educated man; he is frank in every respect; readily lays 
before you the ingredients or vegetable compounds of his medicine. The very processes 
of distillation are perfectly patent; there is no diabolical decoction or compounding of 
elements that are vile, and of course, secret. Everything is open and above board ; what 
he does he knows; you cannot be in his establishment three minutes without seeing that 
he is a man who knows what he is about. All the world may know that the medicine he 
sells so largely all over the world, is the very best diuretic known. It is in strict accord- 
ance with the text at the head of this article. It is but the leaf of a shrub or tree, 
gathered by the wild Hottentots, and has been known for many years. Many others have 
used, and bear ample testimony to its usefulness. We dare any unprejudiced physician 
to test its virtues and not yield to its superior merit. There are other ingredients, as his 
advertisement shows. And now having a good thing, devoted to it with an enthusiasm 
which bespeaks honesty at once, what can we say, what need we say? The diseases 
treated are, some of them, peculiar and fearful; but did our Saviour shrink from the 
loathsome leper, because the world did? The Buchu is a specific remedy, and ought to 
go over all this world, if it is what any scientific man can prove it to be, a blessing. Be- 
leiving it to be a blessing, wo have allowed it place, and shall do it again, and for any and 
every good thing. As a toad from a viper, would we shrink from error or evil, whether of 
Church or State; but every good thing we advocate. Let the insane man who cries out 
quack at everything medicinal, pause, reflect, and come to his senses. Quackery is 
empirical, but such is not the Buchu; nor of such is the enterprising and enthusiastic man 
who is bound to succeed, because he wields right. Success to the Buciiu. Let the leaves 
of iho tree bo for tho healing of the nations Church Union, March 21, 1868.—[Editorial. CHRONOLOGY OF THE WAR FROM 1860 TO 1865.

TO THE PUBLIC. 
In the year 1846 the writer of this article 
embarked in the Drug business in the City 
of Philadelphia, and while thus engaged 
made several experiments in regard to the 
most desirable mode of preparing Fluid 
Extracts. Ilis efforts being successful—the 
articles being approved and used by the 
medical faculty—he was desirous of placing 
them before the public; but hesitated for 
some time befoie concluding to resort to 
newspaper advertising, knowing of the 
prejudices existing in the minds of many 
against using advertised Medicin*s. But, 
through the advice of friends, and those 
who had used his preparations, this ob- 
jection was overcome. Commencing in a 
small way, in a 6mall Drug Store, in the year 
1860, I am happy to state that, after 19 years 
of exertion, the popularity of my articles has 
extended to all parts of the United States, 
and widely throughout foreign countries, and 
this in the face of much opposition. Every 
means has been resorted to by unprincipled 
dealers since their merit and success have 
been known—even so far as copying my ad- 
vertisements ; but I am happy to state that 
out of the many who have resorted to ilus 
none have been successful. 
My FLUID EXTRACT BUCHU and 
FLUID EXTRACT SARSAPARILLA are 
not patent medicines, and I withhold no 
knowledge of their ingredients. The re- 
medies arc perfectly safe. My Laboratory, 
and the mode of preparation, have been in- 
spected by thousands of Physicians and 
Druggists, all of whom expressed themselves 
gratified. The Merit of my articles gave me confidence in advertising. Would any one devote 
years of application without a thorough investigation ? Although I have frequently 
heard persons remark (repudiating sincerity of purpose and merit) that, “all that is 
necessary is to advertise,” yet I have never seen any who would not hesitate. Many 
intelligent and persevering men have been induced to embark in the business, be- 
lieving they had this essential element, and after having expended thousands of dollars 
in bringing it before the community, have found, in a short time, that their article 
was not successful in curing a majority of cases; and failure was the inevitable con- 
sequence. Advertising does not make merit; it makes merit known, and merit makes 
both reputation and money. I full well know that there are thousands who are envious 
of the success of others, and who seldom speak in a complimentary manner of the 
merits of an article, or the enterprise of any, but I will remark, that I do not 
there is a “Druqgist” or '•'•Physician" in the United States, or the world, who, if 
he had as goon a remedy as mine, would hesitate to pursue the same course as adopted 
by myself. 
Knowing tnat many will read this article wno are unacquainted with me, I append 
remarks from those of my native city whose names are known in all parts of the 
world.

—18* JEFFERSON DAVIS inaugu- 
rated as President of the Southern Confed-

office under the Stars and Stripes, Mr. 
Davis was among the first to hold office

Tn* magnificent Pmc; Store of IT.T. ITelmbold, 504 Broadway, is, beyond question, the finest and 
most attractive establishment of ft» kind in New York. It is one of those places which arrest the 
eyes of the passer-by, and compel him to stop and examine it, almost against hia will. Not that 
externally it is marked by any sti iking architectural beauty, but that there ia a certain nameless 
fascination about it, the combined result of an exquisite taste in the arrangement of the various 
articles exposed for sale In the windows, and a delightful harmony of color. 
step from the sidewalk, and on a level with the floor of the establishment, i 1 pavement of 
white mnrblc,'extending the whole length of the front, and relieved by a diamond figure, consisting 
of small rose-tinted and yellow blocks of the same material. The windows, which are light and 
stately, are, with the doors, composed of solid sheets of French plato glass; nnd as we enter the 
store, especially by gas light, the whole scene bursts upon us liko some fairy creation, or the 
sp'cndid vision of some hashish cater. Ten superb chandeliers illuminate the immense palace 
from one end of it to the other, in all 275 feet, from Broadway into Crosby Street. 
) It is divided into two compartments, wholesale and retail, the partition being as near as may be 
in the middle, with offices on each side, which arc spanned by an arch, inscribed with the words, 
“ Wholesale Department.” The blaze of light from the windows, charged with the brilliant color* 
of the liquid in the large globes, adds vastly to the attraction of the scene by night, and illuminates 
tho adjacent walls and counters with a surprising brilliance of crimson, purple, green, and amber. 
Jt This establishment was begun and finished in five days. To look at it, it seems incredible ; and 
more especially so when it is examined in detail. The walls extending over half the retail hall are 
adorned all along the ceiling to the two first pillars with a scries of twenty-eight moulded arches, 
fourteen on each side. These rest upon an elaborate moulding, supported by elegant pillars with 
ornamented capitals overlaid with gold, and the roof also is richly painted and fretted with gold. 
The shelves arc divided into a number of ranges, each of which is backed by French mirrors* 
Then como tho counters, eight in all, composed of solid marble throughout, the top slabs supported 
by richly carved brackets starred with gold, and having two square compartments on tho side faces, 
each one of which bears the inscription “II. T. Hy 
> Indeed, throughout the establishment there is a harmony of form, color, and disposition." A 
lavish hand has been at work in all the departments, nnd this marble palace is one more proof of 
the swift witchery whereof money is capable. 
Tho remaining portion of the walls, from the first pillars to tho partition which divides tho 
wholesale and retail stores, arc stained with an elegant French gray, upon which is painted, in a 
very beautiful and elaborate mosaic work of the most exquisite colors, a scries of immense 
bfltagons, in doublo gold bend frames. The office compartment is marked off at the second pillar 
by a black walnut rail, and besides the luxurious desks nnd chairs for the use of the officials, there 
is a complete dressing-room set at the service of visitors and customers. 
Just before the entrance of the office stands an octagonal glass case, surmounted by a small 
pyramidal case, containing Eau dc Cologne, nnd all the rarest French essences, extracts, nnd per- 
fumes. On each side of this raised case arc two figures of ebony negroes, each with his ri"ht hand 
raised, and intended to bear a lamp or vase, according to the taste of the owner. These statues 
were brought, as we understand, from the French Exhibition, and are quite the rage as drawing- 
room ornaments among pcopic of wealth and fashion in that capital. Such in rapid outline is a 
description of Dr. Ilelmbold's new place of business. It is worthy of the merchant princes of New 
York, although It is not at all Improbable, from the continued and incessant expansion of the 
Doctor's business, that he may yet have to throw his wholesale store Into the retail, and let the 
former take care of itself in some other convenient placc.—Editorial N. Y. Daily Tribune, Nov.

A Case of Twenty Years’ Standing. 
Philadelphia, Penn., June 25, 1867. 
H. T. Helmbold, Druggist: 
Dear Sir: I have been a sufferer for upward of 
twenty >ear# with gravel, bladder and kidney affections, 
during which time 1 have used various medical prepara- 
tions, and lw*en under the treatment of the most eminent 
physicians, experiencing but little relief. 
Having seen your preparations extensively advertised, 
1 consulted my family physician lu regard to using your 
H It Extract Buchu. 
I did this because I had used all kinds of advertised 
remedies, and hail found them worthless, and tome quite 
Injurious; In fact I despaired ol ever getting well, and 
determined to use no remedies hereafter unless I knew of 
the Ingredients. It wn# this that prompted m« to use 
your remedy As you advertised that it was composed of 
Lochu, cube be, aud juniper berries, it occurred to me and 
my physician an excellent combination , and, with his 
a trice, after an examination ol the article, and consulting 
again with the Druggist, I coucluded to try it. I com- 
menced to use it about eight months ago, at which time 1 
was confined to my room. 
From the first bottle I was astonished and gratified at 
the benefit tal efloct, and after using it three weeks was 
able te walk out. 1 felt much like writing to you a full 
wtaUraent of my case at the time, out thought my im- 
provement might only oe temporary ; and therefore 
concluded to defor, and see If it would effect a perfect 
cure, knowing that It would be of greater value to you 
and more mi tie factory to me. 
1 am now aide to rtforl that a cur# «# effected after 
using the remedy for five months, 
1 have not used any note for three months, and feel as 
well in all resj>ects as I ever aid. 
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. 
M. McCORMICK. 
Should any doubt Mr. McCormick’s statement, he 
refer# to the following gentlemen :

IX>ar Sir: 
Your communication requesting 
our terms for advertising was duly re- 
ceived, but from a prejudice I had 
formed against advertising “cures for 
secret diseases,” it was left unanswered. 
During nn accidental conversation in a 
Drug Store, the other evening, my 
mind was changed as to the character of 
your Buchu. It was then highly com- 
mended for other diseases by two physi- 
cians present Inclosed find our rates

Dear Sir: 
Having a bad case of Gleet to

Extract Buehu and Hose Wash. I am 
pleased to inform you its action was 
entirely satisfactory, and exceeded my 
expectations. I have prescril>ed your 
Buchu in affections of the Bladder and 
Kidneys, with the same gratifying re- 
sult. 
Yours truly,

Mu. II. T. IIelmbold: 
Dear Sir: In regard to tho question 
asked me as to my opinion about Buchu, I 
would say that I have used and sold tho 
article In various forms for tho past thirty 
years. I do not think there is any form or 
preparation of it I have not used, or known 
to be used, in the various diseases where 
such medicate agent would be indicated. 
You arc 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 acquired, in my judgment, 
is wiirracted by the facts. 
I have seen and used, ns before stated, every 
form ol Buchu—the powdered leaves, the 
simple decoction, tincture, fluid extracts; 
and I am not cognizant of any preparation 
01 that plant at all equal to yours. Years of 
experience ought, I think, to give mo the 
right to judge of its merits; and, without 
prejudice or partiality, I give yours prece- 
dence over all others. 
I value your Buchu for its effect on 
patients. I have cured with it, and seen 
cured with it, more diseases of the bladder 
and kidneys than I have ever seen cured 
with any other Buchu or any other proprie- 
tary compound of whatever name. 
Respectfully, yours, Ac.,

—29. Nearly 1,000 contrabands arrived 
at Fortress Monroe in two days. General 
Butler invented the term “contraband.” 
The great naval expedition sailed from 
Fortress Monroe, under the command of 
Flag-officer Com. Samuel F. Dupont, com- 
prising 77 vessels of all classes. The land 
forces, numbering 20,000 men, were com- 
manded by Brigadier-General Thomas W. 
Sherman. 
November 1. LIEUT. GEN. WIN- 
field Scott, at his own request, was retired 
from active service, and Maj. Gen. George 
B. McClellan was appointed to succeed him 
as Commander-in-chief of the U. S. Army. 
Scott was in no way responsible for the 
disaster of Bull Run. 
—2. GEN. FREMONT, at Springfield, 
received an order from Washington reliev- 
ing him from command of the department 
of Missouri. Geir. Hunter was appointed 
temporarily to the command. Fremont 
was removed, not for his principles, but for 
extravagance. 
—6. BATTLE OF BELMONT, Mo. 
Generals Grant and McClernand, with 
2,850 men, landed at Belmont at 8 A. M., 
drove the Confederate pickets, and captured 
their camp, which was burnt. A battery of 
12 guns was taken, and about 200 prisoners. 
Meantime a large reinforcement of Confe- 
derate troops was landed from Columbus, 
on the opposite side of the river, which 
intercepted Gen. Grant’s army in their re- 
turn to their boats. The Federals cut their 
way through a much supei'ior force of the 
enemy, losing 150 of their number prisoners, 
together with their killed and wounded, 
who fell into the hands of the enemy. 
Federal loss, 89 lulled, 150 wounded, 150 
missing. The enemy’sloss was greater. 155 
were taken prisoners. 
—8. CAPTAIN WILKES, with tho 
U. S. steam sloop-of-war San Jacinta, 
overhauled the English mail steamer Trent 
in the Bahama Channel, and took from her 
the Confederate emissaries, Mason and 
Slidell, with their secretaries, who had taken 
passage for England. Colonel Grensle re- 
turned with his command to Rolln, Mo , 
from an expedition against the Confede- 
rates in Texas county, bringing 9 prisoners, 
500 head of cattle, and 40 horses and mules. 
—24. CONFEDERATE COMMIS- 
sioners, Mason and Slidell, were imprisoned 
in Fort Warren, Mass. 
—27. GEN. McCLELLAN appointed 
the hour of 11 each Sabbath for religious 
worship throughout the U. S. Army, and 
directed that all officers and men off duty 
should have opportunity to attend. This 
was the first order of the kind in our his- 
tory. 
December 5. REPORTS of the Secre- 
taries of War and Navy show the Govern- 
ment had in service for the war 682,971 
men. 
—14. THE EUROPA arrived from Eng- 
land with news of the excitement among 
the British people, occasioned by the arrest 
of Messrs. Mason and Slidell, and also the 
ultimatum of the British Government, de- 
manding a surrender of the Confederate 
commissioners, and an apology for their 
seizure. Mr. Seward’s dispatch to Mr. 
Adams, dated December 30, having settled 
the matter inanticipation, there was but 
little excitement in the public mind. 
—18. A PART OF GEN. POPE’S 
forces, under Col. J. C. Davis and Col. F. 
Steele, surprised a Confederate camp near 
Milford, north of Warrensburg, Mo., and 
captured nearly 1,300 men, 70 wagons 
loaded with stores, and all their camp

A. Gas© of Inflammation of Kidmens*, and! Grarsfl* 
From MORGAN, FEAZEL & CO., 
Glasgow, Missouri, 
Feb. 5, 1808. 
Mr. H. T. IIelmbold 
Dear Sir: 
About two years ago I was troubled 
with both inflammation cf the kidneys, 
and gravel, w hen I resorted to several 
remedies without deriving any liencfit 
whatever; and, seeing your Extract 
Ruciiu advertised, I procured a few 
bottles and used them. The result was 
A COMPLETE CURE in a short time. I 
regard your Extract Buchu as deci- 
dedly the l>cst remedy extant for any and 
all diseases of the kidneys, and I am 
quite confident that it will do all you 
claim for it. You may publish this if 
you desire to do so. 
Yours, respectfully, 
EDWIN M. FEAZEL.

H. T. IIelmbolo, Esq.,

Dear Sir. 
I wish you to send me one dozen of 
your Sarsaparilla Extract, and half a 
dozen of your Roscwash. 
Allow ine to say, that your prepara- 
tions are very satisfactory not only to 
the practitioner, hut also to the patient, 
and 1 shall endeavor to bring them into 
universal use in this part of the country. 
Please forward these medicines agaiu 
as before, C. O. D., per express. 
I am, sir, very respectfully, 
yours, &c.,

I)r. H. T. Helmbold: 
Two ltottles only of the package of 
vour valuable Buchu presented to the 
Institute have lieen used by the children, 
and with ]>erfect success. I the case 
of our little Lieutenant A. J., his pride 
is no longer mortified, and lie is free 
from the daily morning anathemas of 
the chambermaid who has charge of 
Iris 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 amount of annoyance; and many 
a poor child suffering more from weak- 
ness than from habit, may l>c spared 
punishment, that is (not knowing it as 
a weakness instead of a had habit) most 
unjustly inflicted upon them. Thank- 
ing you on behalf of the children, and 
hoping others may l>c alike benefited, 
I am respectfully yours,

Mr. IIelmbold. 
Sir: I have used your Extract Buchu with

Sir: In Septemlier last I was suffering 
from a disease of a private nature, and ap- 
plied to a physician, who presetibed for me, 
and I was to all appearance cured, ns theio 
were no signs of tlie disease; but after a few 
weeks I was covered with an eruption, which 
plainly showed the prescnceof the disease in. 
the blood. I took various remedies, pur- 
porting to purify the blood, to nonvail. I 
saw your advertisement, and wrote to you 
for somo Extract Sarsaparilla, which I am 
happy to say had the desired effect, and in 
an almost incredibly short time I was en- 
tirely free from them. 
ISRAEL Q CHRONOLOGY OF THE WAR FROM I860 TO 1865. 
August 4. AN IMMEDIATE di-aft of 
300,000 was ordered by President Lincoln

The entire Federal army of Gen. McClellan 
and Confederate army of Gen. Lee engaged. 
Defeat of the enemy with loss of 15,000 men.

Potomac river to Virginia, pursued by Gen. 
Pleasanton’s cavalry. 
—20. BATTLE OF IUKA, Miss. Gen.

ers, and 2 batteries. 
—10. 1,800 Confederate cavalry, under 
J. E. B. Stuart, crossed the Potomac at Mc- 
Coy’s creek, and penetrated to Mercersburg

Allow me to call your attention to my 
PREPARATION OF COMPOUND 
EXTRACT BUCHU. Tho oomponent 
parts aro BUCHU, LONO Leap, 
CUBEBS, JUNIPER BERRIES. 
MODE OF PREPARATION—Bu- 
cliu, in vacuo. Juniper Berries, by dis- 
tillation, to form a fino gin. Cubebs 
extracted by displacement by tho aid of 
liquor obtained from Juniper Berries, 
and a small proj>ortion of this spirit 
added to tho menu. The active pro- 
perties are by this mode extracted. But 
a small proportion of sugar is used. 
Buchu, as prepared by druggists gene- 
rally, is of a dark color. It is a plant 
that emits its fragranco ; the action of 
a Hamo destroys this (its active prin- 
ciple), leaving a dark and glutinous de- 
coction. Mine is the color of ingre- 
clients. Tho Buchu in my preparation 
predominates; the smallest quantity of 
the other ingredients are added, to pre- 
yent fermentation; upon inspection it 
will he found not to bo a Tincture, as 
made in Pharmacopoea, nor is it a Syrup 
—and, therefore, can be used in cases 
where fever or inflammation exists. In 
this you have the knowledge of the in- 
gredients and the mode of preparation. 
Hoping that you will favor it with a 
trial, and that upon inspection it will 
meet with your approbation, 
With a feeling of confidence, 
I am, very respectfully,

IN THE YOUNG AND RISING GENERA- 
TION, the vegetative power* of life arc strong, 
but in a few year* how often the pallid hue, the 
lack-lustre eye, and emaciated form, and the im- 
possibility of application to mental effort, show 
their baneful Influence. Itsoon becomes evident 
to the observer that some depressing influence is 
checking the development of the body. Con- 
sumption is talked of, and perhaps the youth is 
removed from school and sent into the country. 
This is one of the worst movement*. Removed 
from ordinary diversions of the ever-changing 
scenes of the city, the power* of tho body too 
much enfeebled to give zest to healthful and 
rural exercise, thoughts are turned inward upon 
themselves. 
If the patient be a female, the approach 01 the 
menses Is looked for with anxiety, as the first 
•vmptom in which Nature is to show her saving 
power in diffusing the circulation and visiting 
the cheek with the bloom of health. Alas 1 in- 
crease of appetite has grown by what it fee on ; 
the energies of the system are prostrated, and the 
whole economy is deranged. The beautiful and 
wonderful period in which body and mind un- 
dergo so fascinating a change from child to 
•vomau, is looked for in vain; the parent’s heart 
hlecds in anxiety, and fancies the grave but 
a siting for it* victim. 
Duriug the Superintendence of I)r. Wibon at 
the Illoomingdole Asylum, this sad result occur- 
red to two patients ; reason had for a time left 
them, and both die d of epilepsy They were of 
both sexea, and about twenty year* of age.

Who can pay that Sexual excess are not fol- 
lowed by thopo direful diseases, Inpanity and 
Consumption/ The records of the Insane Asy- 
lums, and the melancholy deaths by Consump- 
tion, bear ample witness to the truth of these 
assertions. In Lunatic Asylums the most melan- 
choly exhibition appears. The countenance is 
actually sodden and quite destitute—neither 
Mirth or Grief ever visit it. Should a sound of 
the voice occur, it is rarely articulate. 
“ With woeful measures wan Despair 
Low sullen sounds their grief beguiled.” 
Whilst we regret the existence of the abovo 
diseases and symptoms, we are prepared to offer

ft) Th^ 
Case of Syphilis. 
Philadelphia, Oct. 27, 1867. 
Dr. IIelmbold: 
) Sir: Some twelve months since I contracted 
the syphilis, and not knowing then its nature I 
paid but little attention to it, until I was alarmed 
by large sores appearing on my face, inside my 
mouth, and also I could feel them in my throat 
I then applied to a physician, who recommended 
mercury, in large quantities. I followed his 
advice, and was under his treatment four months 
and did not receive any benefit, on the contrary. 
I became worse, as my system was debilitated 
from the effects of tho mercury, and the disease 
was not eradicated, as it would break out in 
•ferent parts of the body. 1 was recommended 
to apply to you; I did so, and I am pleased to in- 
form you that I am once more well, and feel 
confident that I should not have been so, had I 
not used your Extract Sarsaparilla and Kose 
'Wash. ‘ ” Truly youra, ' 
W. M. Y. 
Another Certificate 
Allentown, Pa., August 8, 1867. 
Sir7" I am very glad to inform you that I have 
by the use of your Extract Buchu and Rose 
/Wash, been cured of Gonorrhoea, which I had 
for about six or seven months, suffering all the 
time, although I was under the care of different 
physicians, to no benefit. The symptoms of my 
eaae, as near as I can explain them, were as fol- 
lows : Pain and heat in passing water, with a 
copious discharge of matter; severe d«h in the 
groin: the testicles swollen, and very painful to 
tlie touch: costiveness, with a constant desire to 
urinate, and painful erections at night. I pur- 
chased 9 bottles of your Extract Bucnu, and 4 of 
Rose Wash, and I am now effectually cured. I 
iu.end taking 3 or 4 bottles of Extract Sarsapa- 
rilla, as I think it will be of great benefit to me. 
I scud this that you may publish it, withholding 
my name, of course. 
1 am, Sir, j our obedient servant, 
0. M. 3. 
Cure of a ease of Stricture of eleven years' 
standing, by use of 23 bottles. 
, Wilmington, Oct. 20, 1867. 
Mr. Hklmbold: 
Sir: I have for eleven yean been suffering 
from a stricture of tho Urethra, and under treat- 
ment of different physicians the whole time, who 
were continually using various remedies (and all 
of them very painful), without any permanent 
good: they would relieve me for a few days, and 
then I would be as bad as ever. Seeing your ad- 
vertisement, I thought I might obtain relief from 
your Extract Buciic. I purchased some, and 
its good effects were such that I determined to 
persevere, and by following your advice I am 
(now entirely well, and consider that, had it not 
been for your valuable medicine, I should have 
been compelled to suffer all my life, 
i Accept my thanks, and I shall recommend your 
medicine wherever I think it is required. 
'' Yours very respectfully, 
OH AS. H. MARTIN. CHRONOLOGY OF THE WAR FROM 1860 TO 1865. 
Federal loss, 3,521 ; Confederate loss esti- 
mated at 10,000. Gen. McPherson was 
killed. 
—26. GEN. STONEMAN despatched a 
cavalry force to destroy the Macon and 
Western Railroad. They succeeded in de- 
stroying 18 miles of track and in capturing 
500 Confederates, when they were in turn 
attacked, the prisoners released, and 1,000 
of General McCook’s troops captured. 
—30. EXPLOSION of an immense 
mine by Union troops in front of Burn- 
side’s position before Petersburg. Its ex- 
plosion was the signal for the discharge of 
every piece of artillery on the line from the 
Appomattox to the extreme left. After 
the discharge of the artillery,'the army ad- 
vanced and assaulted the confederate 
works, but, after a desperate attempt to 
carry them, was repulsed with a loss of over 
4,000 men. The Confederates entered 
Chambersburg, where the Confederate 
commander demanded $500,000 under 
threat of burning the city. His demand 
not being complied with, the city was 
burned. 
August 5. GREAT battle at the en- 
trance of Mobile Bay. Fort Gaines opened 
on Federal fleet at about 7 A. m., the moni- 
tor Tecumseh having opened the attack a 
short time before. The Confederate ram 
Tennessee captured after one of the 
fiercest naval battles on record. In the 
night the Confederates evacuated and blew 
up Fort Powell. The monitor Tecumseh 
was blown up by a Confederate torpedo. 
Explosion of a Confederate mine near 
Petersburg, Va. But little damage done. 
A terrific fight'in front of Petersburg, last- 
ing from 5.30 A. M. to 7.30 p. M. It com- 
menced by a charge of the enemy- which 
was repulsed with slaughter. 
—18. FURIOUS attack on Burnside’s 
corps at Six Mile Station, on the Weldon 
Railroad, near Petersburg, which was re- 
pulsed with great loss to the Confederates. 
—31. TIIE BATTLE OF ATLANTA 
continued. A brilliant charge was made 
at 5 P. M. by Gen. Davis’ force, resulting 
in the discomfiture of the Confederates and 
the surrender of a large number. Great de- 
struction by the Confederates of large maga- 
zines of stores accumulated at Atlanta. They 
blew up, in addition to other things, 80 car 
loads of ammunition. Gen. Slocum’s 
corps assaulted the enemy’s works around 
the city in the afternoon. 
September 19. BATTLE OF BUNKER 
Hill, near Winchester, Va. A great battle 
fought by Sheridan in the Shenandoah Val- 
ley. Sheridan made the attack and won a 
splendid victory, capturing over 2,500 pris- 
oners, together with 9 battle-flags and 5 
pieces of artillery. The Confederate Generals 
Gordon and Rhodes were killed, and three 
other general officers wounded. All of the 
confederate killed and most of the wounded 
fell into Federal hands. 
October 19. BATTLE OF CEDAR 
Creek, Shenandoah Valley. Gen. Sheri- 
dan’s army was attacked before daylight 
and its left turned and driven in confusion, 
with a loss of 20 pieces of artillery. Gen. 
Sheridan afterward arrived on the field and 
drove the Confederates, taking 48 pieces of 
artillery and many prisoners, gaining a great 
victory. Sheridan pursued the Confederates 
to Mount Jackson, which he reached at 
night. 
November 8. PRESIDENT LINCOLN 
re-elected, and Andrew Johnson elected 
Vice-President of the United States. Gen. 
McClellan resigned his commission in the 
U. S. army.

under Gen Howard, moved out of Atlanta 
and began its march through Georgia. 
—30 BATTLE OF FRANKLIN, Tern,. 
The Confederates, under Hood, attacked 
Thomas’ army at Franklin, but were re- wonvn^nsr. 
Females, owing to tho peculiar and Important relations which they sustain, their peculiar orga- 
nization, and the offices they perform, arc subject to many sufferings. Freedom from these con- 
tribute in no small degree to tneir happiness and welfare, for none can be happy who arc ill. Not 
only so, but no one of these various female complaints can long be suffered to run on without involv- 
ingthc general health of the individual, and ere long producing permanent sickness and premature 
decline. Nor is it i leasant to consult a physician for, the relief -of these various delicate affections, 
and oidy upon the most urgent necessity will a true woman so far sacrifice her greatest charm as to 
do this. The sex will then thank ns for placing in their hands simple specifics w hich will be found 
efficacious in relieving and curing almost every one of those troublesome complaints peculiar to 
the sex. 
IIELMBOLD'S EXTRACT BUCIIU.— Hundreds suffer on in silence, and hundreds of others 
apply vainly to druggists and doctors, who either merely tantalize them with the hope of a cure, or 
apply remedies which make them worse. I would not wish to assert anything that would do in- 
justice to the affiictcd, but 1 am obliged to say that, nlthough it may be produced from excessive 
exhaustion of tho powers of life, by laborious employment, unwholesome air and food, profuse 
menstruation, the use of tea and coffee, nnd frequent childbirth, it is far oftener caused by direct 
irritation, applied to the mucous membrane of the vagina itself. 
When reviewing the causes of these distressing complaints, it is most painful to contemplate 
tho attendant evils consequent upon them. It is but simple justice to the subject to enumerate a 
few of the many additional causes which so largely affect tne life, health, and happiness of women 
in all classes of society, and which, consequently, affect more or less directly the welfaie of the 
entire human family. The mania that exists for precocious education and marriage, causes the 
years that nature designed for corporeal development to be wasted nnd perverted in the restraints 
of dress, the early confinement of school, nnd especially in the unhealthy excitement of the ballroom. 
Thus, with the body half clothed, and the mind unduly excited by pleasure, perverting, in midnight 
revel the hours designed by nature for sleep and rest, the work of destruction is half accomplished. 
In consequence of this early strain upon her system, unnecessary effort is required by the delicate 
votary to retain her situation in school at a later day, thus aggravating the evil. When one excite- 
ment is over, another in prospective keeps the mind morbidly sensitive to impression, while the 
now constant restraint of lashiounhlc dress, absolutely forbidding the exercise indispensable to the 
attainment and retention of organic health nnd strength; the exposure to night air; the sudden 
chuiaUbf temperature; the complete prostration produced by excessive dancing, must, of neces- 
sity, produce tlielr legitimate effect. At last an early marriage caps the climax of misery, and the 
nnfortnnatc one, hitherto so utterly regardless of the plain dictates and remonstrance* of her deli- 
cate nature, becomes nn unwilling subject of medical treatment. This is but a truthful picture of 
the exi>erienco of thousands of our young women. 
_,ong before the ability to exercise the functions of the generative organs, thev require nn educa- 
tion of their peculiar nervous system, composed of what is called the tissue, which is, in common 
with the female breast and lips, evidently under the control of mental emotions and associations at 
an early p -riod of life ; and. as we shall subsequently sec, these emotions, when excessive, lend, 
long before puberty, to Habits which sap the very life of their victims ere nature has self-completed 
their development.

The End. HELMBOLD^S 
CONCENTRATED EXTRACT BUCIIU 
IS THE GREAT DIURETIC. 
Helmbold’s Concentrated Extract Sarsaparilla is the Great Blood Purifier. 
The Proprietor trusts that his Remedies, although advertised, may not be classed as 
Patent Medicines—most of which are prepared by self-styled Doctors, who, in many 
instances, are too ignorant to read a Physician’s simplest prescription, much less com- 
petent to prepare Pharmaceutical Preparations. 
For the satisfaction of all, See Medical Properties contained in Dispensatory of the 
United States, of which the following is a correct copy : 
“ BUCIIU.—Its odor is strong, diffusive, and somewhat aromatic , its taste is bitter- 
ish, and analogous to that of mint. It is given chiefly in complaints of fhe Urinary 
Organs, such as Gravel, Chronic Catarrh of the Bladder, morbid irritation of the 
Bladder and Urethra, diseases of the Prostate Gland, and Retention or the Incontinence 
of Urine, from a loss of tono in the parts concerned in its evacuation. It has also been 
recommended in Dyspepsia, Chronic Rheumatism, Cutaneous Affections, and Dropsy." 
HIGHLY CONCENTRATED 
FLUID EXTRACT SARSAPARILLA, 
Eradicates Eruptive and Ulcerative'Discascs of the Throat, Nose, Eyelids, Scalp, and 
Skin, which so disfigure the appearance, purging the evil effects of Mercury, and re- 
moving all taints the remnants of disease, hereditary or otherwise, and is taken by
