A QUESTION TO THE READER.

If you were about to embark in the Medicine Business, would the merit of an article,
or your confidence in advertising, inspire you so to d© ? and would you devote years of
application without a thorough investigation ? I will take upon myself the responsi-
bility of answering this question, although I have heard thousands remark that

" All that is necessary, IS TO ADVERTISE."

I have never yet seen any but would hesitate. Many intelligent and persevering men
hsive been induced to embark in the business, believing they had this essential element,

and after having expended thousands op dollars in bringing it before the community,
Ihey find, in a short time, that their article was not successful in curing in a majority of
cases, and failure was the inevitable consequence. Advertising does not make merit
but it makes merit kno^^^l, and that makes both reputation and mone} 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 of the enterprise of any, but
article, or

I»Avill remark, that I do not believe there is a " DRiiGGLsr " or a "• ]*hysician " in the
United States, or the world, who, he had as good a remedy as mine, would hesitate to

 FEMALE IRREGULARITIES.
Females, owing to the peculiar and important relations which they
sustain, their peculiar organi^zation, and the offices they perform, are sub-
ject to many sufierings and ailments peculiar to the sex. Freedom from
these contributes in no small degree to their happiness and welfare, for
none can be happy who are ill. Not only so, but no one of these various
female complaints can long be suffered to run on without involving the
general health of the individual, and ere long producing permanent sick-
ness and premature decline. Nor is it phiasant to consult a physician,
fur the relief of these various delicate affections, and only upon the most
urgent necessity will a true woman so fur sacrifice her greatest charm
as to do this. The sex will then thank us for placing in their hands
simple specifics which will be found efficacious in relieving and curing
almost every one of those troublesome complaints peculiar to the sex.

LEUCORRH(EA OR WHITES
Is one of the most common and annoying diseases of females. Hun-
dreds suffer on in silence, and hundreds of others apply vainl}^ to drug-
gists and doctors, who either merely tantalize them with the hope of a
cure or apply remedies which make them worse. It is analogous to
Spermatorrhoea of the male. It is a white discharge, proceeding from
the vagina and sometimes from the womb itself. 1 would not wish to
assert in this book anything that would do injustice to the afflicted, but
I am obliged to say, that though it may be produced from excessive
exhaustion of tiie powers of life, by laborious employment, unwholesoihe
air and food, profuse menstruation, the use of tea and coU'ee, and fre-
quent chiklbirth; it is far oftener caused by direct irritation, applied
to the mucous membrane of the va4^ina itself. Many of the symptoms
of leucorrhoea are occasionally identical with gonorrhoea. The reader
will remember that we advance the opinion that gonorrhoea in the male
occasionally originated in this disease, even in virtuous and married
life. From its causes it is peculiar to adult life, although children are
often affected with transient inflammation of the vagina, from atmos-
pheric and other causes, vicious practices and examples of servants
and schoolmates; and unless decisive measures are instituted, aflections
of the womb and dropsy supervene.
For Female Weakness and Debility, Whites or Leucorrh«a, Too Pro-
fuse, Exhausting, Too Long Continued Periods, for Prolapsus and
Bearing Down, or Prolapsus Uteri, we ofil'r the most perfect specific
known; Helmbold's Compound Extract of Buchu.

*'3^merican ^mxml of ^^amacj/*

May, 1865, edited by

WM. PROCTOR, JR.,

Professor of Pharmacy, m llie Pliiladelpliia College of Pliarmacy.

" Will the Fluid Extract go out of use owing to the high price,

or can we have some authoritative modification of the formulas by

which w^e can make them at a more reasonable cost?"
" If the latter, shall the change be in the quality of the men-

struum, or in the manner of applying it, so as to reduce the quantity

requisite ? Can there be a convocation of the Committee of Revision

to authorize some new method or modification of the present recipes ?"

AVith regard to the contemplated change in the quantity, or in the

menstruum itself, in the preparation of fluid extracts, I would take

occasion (bo say that in medicine the health of the patient is the

great object to be gained.

The cost df the material is something, but when put into the scale

with human health, and often human life, it is hardly worthy of con-
sideration at all. My Buchu (Helmbold's) will continue to be made as
formcrl}^, and if it cannot be maintained at present prices, they will

have to be advanced to meet the advance in the price of material. To

such as desire quantity insteaxl of quality w^e would say that w^ater is

a cheap commodity, and may be readily added by the person using the
medicine if he desires to do so.

URINARY ORGANS, whether existing in

MALE OR FEMALE,
ATTENDED WITH THE FOLLOWING SYMPTOMS:—

Indisposition to Exertion, Loss of Power, Loss of Memory, DifiQculty

of Breathing, General Weakness, Horror of Disease, Weak Nerves,

Trembling, Dreadfnl Horror of Death, Night Sweats, Cold Feet, Wake-
fulness, Dimness of Vision, Languor, Universal Lassitude of the Muscu-
lar System, often Enormous Appetite with Dyspeptic Symtoms, Hot
Hands, Flushing of the Body, Dryness of the Skin, Pallid Countenance
and Eruptions on the Face, Pain in the Back, Heviness of the Eyelids,
Frequently Black Spots flying before the Eyes, with Temporary Suffu-

sion and Loss of Sight, Want of Attention, Great Mobility, Rest-

lessness, with Horror of Society. Nothing is more desirable to such

Patients than Solitude, and nothing they more dread for fear of them-
selves, no Repose of manner, no Earnestness, no Speculation, but a
hurried Transition from one question to another.
These symptoms, if allowed to go on — which this Medicine invariably
removes —soon follow Loss- of power, Fatuity and Epileptic Fits, in one of
wliich the patient may expire. Who can say that those excesses are
not frequently followed by those direful diseases Insanity and Con-
sumption f The records of the Insane Asylums, and the melancholy
deaths by Consumption, bear ample witness to the truth of these asser-
tions. In Lunatic Asylums the most melancholy exhibition appears.
The countenance is actually sodden and quite destitute —neither Mirth
or Grief ever visits it. Should a sound of the voice occur, it is rarely

articulate.

VARIETY OF DISEASES.
It was borrowed from those rude practitioners by the English and Dutch physicians, on whose r«-
commendation it was employed in Europe, and has now come into general use. It is given chiefly
in gravel, chronic catarrh of the bladder, morbid irritation of the bladder and urethea, for female
weakness and debility, for prolapsus and bearing down, or prolapsus uteri, diseases of the pros-
tate gland, retention or incontinence of urine, and all diseases requiring the aid of a diuretic
arising from a loss of tone in the parts concerned in its evacuation. It is also recommended in
cases of dyspepsia, chronic rheumatism, cutaneous affections «Bd dropsy. To cure these diseases
we must bring into action the muscles which are engaged in their various functions. To neglect
them, however slight may be the attack, it is sure to affect the bodily health and mental powers.
Our flesh and blood are supported from these sources. Persons at every period of life, from in-
fanaj to old age, and in every state of health, are liable to be subjects of these diseases. The
causes in many instances are unknown. The patient has, however, an admirable remedy in

and when taken in early stages of the disease, none suffer to any extent. It allays pain and
inflammation,is free from all injurious properties, pleasant in its taste and odor, and immediate

in its action. It is the

thirty thousand unsolicited certificates
