With the present number of the GAZETTE,
we close our annual “ account current” with
our readers. The past year has been one of -
unexampled f‘ruitfulness and healthfulness,
and if business has not been quite as brisk
and rcmnnerative as in some former years,
it has been very far from stagnant or disas-
trous. This is the fitting time, while at the
I summit of the year, to calmly take “account
of stoc ," morally and materially, before we
commence to glide dow‘tI the rapid declivity
of 1870. Let the mistakes of the Old year,
be amended in the new. Let the irritations,
the enmitics, born of the collisions and at—
tritions of our intense life, be obliterated
and forgotten. With nobler resolves and
amended lives, let‘us one and all, strive for
the attainment Of that heaven-born attribute
ofa better love for God and our fellow man.
Thus hoping and thus working, we will ex-
tend our kind patrons the compliments of
the season and witlt sincerity and earnest.
ness wish them a “ HAPPY, HArrv NEW
YEAR.

about two o'clock Sunday morning to enter
the house Of the Senior. The outside shut-
ters of a rear window were pried open, but
the scamp, or scamps, could get no further.
Holme’s little Burglar Alarm which never
sleeps, was in full play, and spoiled a bean-

Beatty, is one of those distressing events
which touches every human heart. The
loving w ifc and beloved mother, the esteemed

away. “May He who tempers the wind to

‘ Editorial Correspondence.
IN AND ABOUT CALIFORNIA—SAN FRANCISCO.
What New York is to the Atlantic states,
this tnarvcl of modern growthis to the Pa—
cific slope. The eager, earnest and intense
resident delights to call it the “ Queen Ci.y.”
In its location, lay out and structure it cer—
tainly is well deserving the pleasing soiibri-
quet. Its harbor, of? a hundred-fold more
capacity than that of New York and less
than half the distance to the sea, is perhaps
the most picturesque and charming in the
world. The city skirts the northern edge of
the southern peninsula, and rises in beauty
backward toward “Lone Mountain Come:
tcry,” and westward up the steeps of Tele-
graph aud Russian Hills. 0n the opposite
shore, a range of half-orbcd mountains with
smooth sloping sides, bask in the unwonted
glories Of every setting sun, as its rays lin-
gcr’aud daily with the white-crested Waves
that lave the narrow inlet Of the Golden
Gate. Within this land-locked harbor all
the navies of earth may rest or ride. Less
than a mile of aperture at its ocean mouth,
or the Gate, with‘ thirty feet of water, with
bold shores on either side, it is indeed about
the only harborbetween Oregon and Mexico.
Our first sight of its placid waters was when
moonlight and the city lights were shining
like stars in the firmament over against
the spot of our terry-boat embarkation. Our
next best view Of this incomparable sheet of
water was also by moonlight. and the
most ravishing sight of our lives. It was on
a quiet Sabbath evening, when the moon
was shining in a deeper glory through the
clear, transparent atmosphere, than is
known to our eastern skies, that we essayed
to cliutb to the summit of Russian Hill. Our
mission was a friendly call upon an old typo,
and native Of Norwalk who resided near its
apex. We had taken the horse cars to its
south-eastern base and went toiling up tlie
steep ascent in total ignorance of the entranc-
ing view which as we reached the top broke
upon our vision in an efi‘ulgence of beauty
and glory such as We can find no words to
describe. With the deepest reverence, one
of the company exclaimed, “ my God! how
beautiful 1” When all, as if by one common
impulse dropped down upon the parched
summit and for a‘ full half hour not
a word was spoken. It was one of those
moments when the soul seems lifted out of
the body and the rapture born of nnwOnted
beauty enforces silence. We had never seen
the moon so large, nor so resplendent. It
would have been no difficulty to readthe
finest print. By its-clear and powerfully
reflected light our vision was clear and dis
tinct along the crests and sides of the Oppo—
site hills, till they sloped down past the
Golden Gate and disappeared in the silvery
billows of the Pacific. The whole city lay
below us, to. the right and rear. Oakland
was in full view across the harbor. The
shipping at the docks and at anchor in the
bay seemed like the floating sprites of some
fairy tale. Every star in the firmament,
(which, somehow, seemed not more than a
hundred feet above our beads) was playing
a weird bo-peep in the shining waters be-
neath us. And to fill the picture, far outside
the Golden Gate, ever and anon some huge,
incoming vessel would swing up and throw
back the moon’s light from her broad-side of
canvass, and then disappear from our sight
like the phantom ships of poesy. A little
pilot bOat kept beating across the mouth of
the Gate, hcr sails all a—glow with mutating
moonlight and the very waters bubbling at
her prow, seemed a stream of moulten silver
pouring over her sides. A slight stretch of
the imagination it was, that transformed the
picture into a mighty sea-gull, swooping out
from the mysterious darkness of'the orient
We repeat, we never experienced such in-
discribablc, rapturous intoxication born Of
the beautiful. ‘
Returning to the city we find it laid out
and in the matter of architectural taste and
embellishment, equal to any other American
~eity. Its churches, of which there are nearly
fifty, and other public buildings, are more
beautiful and costly than thos‘eof any city
are numerous and good, and a special in-
terest seems to pervade the people in all
matters of education. There are more first-
class newspapers and more readers for them,
in proportion to the population, than'iu any
other City on the globe. Their hotels are
' the very best and much more genuine, sub-
stantial comfort is meted out to guests than
in any of our New York caravansaries and
at a less cost. The “Lick House,” where
we were so fortunate as to get domiciled, is
largely patronized as a family boarding-
house. Its neatness, order and quiet are
marvels to eastern travelers. The dining
hall of the-Lick House is said to be unequal—
led in the world, and its cost something over
a. hundred thousand dollars in gold. It is
Of two stories height and paneled with costly
oil paintings, illustrative of California scen-
ery. Light is let in from above like the new
houses of Congress, and in many respects rc-
semble those vast audience chambers. Our
youngest juvenile expressed his heartfelt tis-
gust “that so gorgeous a room should be
wasted for eating purposes, when it would
make such a glorious velocipede rink.”
The shipping interests are enormous,
amounting in the aggregate to abhut one
hundred millions a year, and this with an
estimatrd population of only 150,000! The
shipments of wheat alone, to Mexico, the
States and to Europe, approach twenty-five
millions. We saw the Old Collins steamer
a”? with side-wheels and engines replaced
. asts and sails, riding at. anchor in the
harbor, laden with three thousand tons of
the choicest wheat our eves ever beheld.
Here is a dry-dock costing a million and a
quarter in gold, cut in the solid rock five
hundred feet in length, forty in depth and a
hundred and a quarter wide. Ship-yards,
foundries and fortifications, immense in
magnitude; ferries, street cars, parks, and
gardens; a mint, stock exchange, public
libraries, theaters, union ’ league club and
every institution summon to modern civiliz-
ation—possibly, not cel‘tainly— excepting
Sorosis, characterize this wonderful city of
less than twenty years growth! The people,
too, becomeasremarkahle as their country
and their city. Nothing more especially
excites the wonder and indeed awe of the
Yankee visitor than the sort of audacioumess
with which'busi'ness enterprises are canvas-
sed and executed. In homely figure, they
bore with huge steam augurs, where‘the
Yankee uses his penny gimblet. They talk
of and venture thousands and millions with
as much unconcern as ordinary eastern busi-
ness men would tens o'r fifties. Such a thing
as change being either given or taken where
the amount is less than aquarter. is taboed
as mean and miserly. There,is an air of
business “abandon,” so to spebk,,not only
among the larger merchants, but even the
news-boys, flower-girls and pea-nut 'mongers‘
Of the pave. We confess ourselves perplexed
and perhaps did not get a familiar“ hangof
their school-house,” but we cannot resist
the conviction, that the highest individual
and general wealth and prosperity will hen
be attained by the business men of Califor-
nia, until they adopt the paper'currency, are
more exact in the little adjustment Of giving
and receiving change in' trade, and the man
\vorth'a hundred dollars ceases to spend his
_“ bottom dollar" just as if he were a million-
aire. Cities like this cap-shief of modern
energy and growth, however, are not reared
under the conservatism our prudence sug-
gests. ‘ '
To illustrate, in part, what we would indi-
cate, take for example the bringing of the
Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows here. The in-
tention was to have its reunion held at
Omaha. The San Francisco lodges at once
ofi‘ered to defray all the expenses of its trans-
portation from Omaha here and return.

Friday last, of the death of Edwin M. Stan-
ton, was as a clap of thunder out of a clear
sky. The nation had been made glad at his
judicial elevation and at the just and fitting
endorsement given it by the Senate.- The
general feeling of congratulation was at its
hcfhgth,when it is announced that the heroic,

The over-strain of his whole systetn during

take had been made in selecting this place
forthc ball rather than the eapaeious estab-
l'shment across the way—ihc Acailcmy of
Music, for no less than 2,500 persons were
in and about the building.
The music by Grafi‘ula’s 7th Regiment
Band was a feature of the entertainment,
and would alone have sufficed to draw.
About 150 Fat Men and women‘were on the
floor at the opening Quadrille, joining mer-
rily in the dance. .At 12:30 they filed around
the room, keeping time to the music of a
Grand March composed for them by the ven-
erable C. S. Graffula. The picture of these
immense bodies keeping step to such fine
music was a scene not to be easily forgotten.
and the noise of their mighty tread, sound-
ing like deep and distant thunder, made an
impression on the mind of the writer that
must be lasting. The roar of Niagara was
as the sound of the idle wind, in comparison.

'- FATAL AccmnN'r.——Tlte New Haven pa-
pers of this morning, 27th, contain the par-
ticulars of an accident which occurred in,
that city on Christmas night, resulting in
the death of a young man named Samuel
H. White, of South Norwalk. It seems
from the accounts given, that White, in
company with a'man named Watson arrived
at the Revere House about 7% o’clock.
Soon after, Watson went to the Theatre.
Abouthalf—past eight White started to go
into the back yard and fell from the doorsill
to the ground, some three and a half feet,
and was there found by Mr. Bradley, the
proprietor, a~ few minutes afterward. He
was taken up and conveyed to the hospital,
but died about 12 o’clock. Coroper Butler
empannelled a jury yesterday, who viewed
the. body and heard the evidence ,of Mr.
Bradley and Drs. Bissell and Ward, the lat
ter having made a post mortem examination
of the body. There was a small cut on the
back of the ‘head,but the physicians thihk
it was not sufficient to cause death. The
jury adjourned until nine O’clock this morn-

A Move In the Right Direction.
We learn that petitions are before the
Court of Burgess to widen Cross Street and
to ,extend,,_fhe_.Fi_re , Limits to include the
block of ground bounded ‘by‘ Main Street,
School Street, the Norwalk River,and Cross
Street. The construction of the new bridge
requires better facilities to approaéh it, and
Cross street now mainly unimproved on the
north can be widened at a trifling expense.
The extension of the fire limits will give a
character to the structures about to be erect-
ed on this property soon to be placed on the
market, that will enhance the value of all
surrounding property. It will add to the
general tone and wealth of the Borough and
prevent the possibility of annoyance and
depreciation of adjoining and surrounding
property, from the erection of an inferior
class of buildings that would be objectiona-
ble, and in view of a fire extremely danger-
ous. Beside a good class of buildings al-
ways improves the sanitary condition of the
neighborhood. We are glad to witness this
effort for true prosperity and progress. C.

A. T. Stewart’s Principles of Trade.
I have said that “the problem of Mr. Stew-
art’s career was already solved.” The
reason why it was there solved lies in the
fact that in the little Broadway store—the
'very cradle of his fortunes—he adopted those
rules and principles oflrado and of life from
which he has never swerved; and to which
in connection with his mental and physical
capacities for' labor, his unflagging industry,
his native shrewdness and sagacity, his thor-
ough good sense and profound mercantile
judgment, and his absolutcgcnius for trade,
his stupendous success is due.
I. His first rule was honesty between sel-
ler and buyer. His career is a perfect ex-
emplification of pOOr Richard’s maxim,
uHonesty is the best policy," and of the poet's
declaration, “ Nothing can need a lie." His
interest consorted with his inclination,.‘his
policy with his principles, and the business
with the man, when he determined that the
that no misrepresentations Of his goods
should be made. He never asked, he never
would suffer a, clerk to misrepresent the

diamond,” found no such slip-shod code Of
morality at Stewart’s little store, and learned
frankness and fairness in representation at
the peril Of dismissal. Their employer asked
no gain from deceit in trade. On his part,
too, in buying, he rarely gave a seller a se-
coud opportunit to misrepresent goods to
him. leave of ers to speak of the moral
effect of this resolute conduct in general

II. A second innovation ‘of the young dry.
goods dealer was selling atom price—a cus-
tom which has also lasted without inter-
ruption, and which has spread to all the
root houses. He fixed his price, after care-
fitl consideratiou, at what he thought the,
goods could and would bring, and would not
deviate fl'om it for any haggling, or to suit
individual cases. Of course, he followed the
fluctuations of the market, and marked his
goods up or down in accordance with it;
at no difference in the price was made to
different people. Perhaps those who had
some art in “ beating down” prices were of-
fended, but people in general were pleased.
III. The third principle be adopted was
that of cash on delivery. It is said that his
'own early experience in buying on credit
and selling on'c'redit drove him to this rule;
that he had, at one time, alarge note to pa
and, in order to meet it, was forced to sacri-
fice his goods. But he did this, even, with
skill, adqoetiseing by hand-bills his “ great
reduction of prices" (now a stale device, but
then a novelty), and so came ofl'with flying
colors.
IV. A fourth principle with him was to
conduct business as business—not as senti-
ment. His aim was honorable profit; and,
he had no purpose of confbsin it by extra-
neous considerationa.—-“A fifommtent of

OLD Assn Num—
The literary event of the season IS the starting of a
new first class magazine by Messrs. II. 0. Houghton
d; 00., under the editorship of Rev. E. E. Hale, as-
sisted by his brother, Prof Nathan Hale. It contains
144 pages of the size of the Atlantic, is handsomely
printed on'thick paper, has a plain blue cover. and
has very much the appearance of an English Quar-
terly. The J annsry number has a first-rate table of
contents, but was evidently prepared in somewhat of
a hurry, the articlcs'all being very brief, as though
'lutendcd for some newspaper. The editor, one of
America’s best story writers, commences a novel
“Ten Times One-ls Tea, and furnishes a short story
for children. J. B. Torticelli tells us about the (Eco.
meuicul Council, from which we learn that only nit 0.
teen of these general councils have been held, the last
Of which was held more than three hundred yearsago,
II. W. Bellows reports progress on the National Lin-
coln Monument:
“ The monument was designed and will be execut-
ed by Clark Mills. It is to bra-seventy feet in height,
triangular, with truncated angles. At the base, six
equestrian bronze statues of the great generals; on
the second story, grouped about the middle member
of the monument, twenty-one colossal bronze statues
of the chief statesmen, philahthroplsts, or civilians
connected with the war and contributing to its suc-
cess: on the top a statue larger than life of Mr. Lin-
coln, seated and signing the Emancipation Procla-
mation. ‘
“ Three groups Of allegorical figures, representing
the Establishment, Progress, and Abolition of Slav_
cry. and three figures representing Time, Liberty and
Justice, will adorn parts of the monument. The
most momentous events in the war—the firing on
Fort Snmtey. the surrender of the Confederate Armies,
the two Houses of Congress voting on the great acts
of the Amendment of the Constitution, abolishlng
slavery and establishing equal rights—will be repre-
sented in. Cacao relieve." -

miles. The other articles are as follows: The;Sur-
prise; MlchaelFaroday; God the Father; The Bos-
ton Park; The Perfection of Jesus; Hymn by Mrs.
Stowe; The West, by Mrs. J. W. Howe; Egypt. by
H. W. Bellows, and University Reform. Thirty pages
are devoted to Book Reviews, and thirty-four pages
to a “Record, of Progress" which will prove a very
popular feature. Price 84.00 a year; 35 cents a single
,number. Specimen copy sent on application.
The Atlantic commences the new year with a bril-
liant number, and the publishers eeem determin'ed'to
maintain the position it has so long held as the best
of our purely literary monthlies. The number opens
with a poem fifteen pages long by James Russell
Lowell, which seems to have taken the critics by
storm, for they find no faults in it and seem to be at
aloss for words towxpress their admiration of its
beauties, and the sharpest of them freely endorse it
as not only one of the best poems of the age, but one
of the best in the English language. It has also been
issued in book form, illustrated. John G. Whittier
also has a two-page poem, which we copy on our first
page. Bayard Taylor commences a new novel with
the simple title, “ Joseph and his Friend.” T. W.
ngginson discourses on “ Americanlsm in Litera-
ture ;” Dr. Hayes relates his experiences “‘ Under the
Midnight Sun ;” 0. W. Holmes has a poem ” Nearing
the Snow Line" of old age; W. D. Howell glvesa
sketch of travel, “ By Horse Car to Boston ;” “ The
Study of History” is the first of a series of lectures
delivered before the Cornell University by Prof. Gold-
win Smith. One story only is given and that with
the forbidding title of “ Was he Dead 7" The other
articles 'are Among the Isles 'of Shoals, IL; The
Woman Thou Caveat. with Me; What to do With the
Surplus: two poems, The Descent of Neptune to Aid
the Greeks, and nGmdo Rosplglloso. The number
closes with Reviews, Sc. Fields, Osgood 6; Co., Bos-
ton; 84.00 per year.
Harpers Magazine the publishers claim to be the
best monthly in the whole world, and for family read-
ing their claim is certainly well founded. It is attrac-
tive in appearance, its illustrations are always good,
and its general contents embrace something ofinter-
est to all classes, and it well deserves the great popu-
larity it has attained. The January number has the
following illustrated articles: Frederick the Great;
Site of the National Capitol; Beast, Bird and Fish:
Paul Du Challlon once more; A Brave Lady; by Mrs.
Craig is continued, and the other articles are as fol-
lows: Lady Fortune; Thunder-struck; The Wife of
John Carver; The Swift Messenger; Leigh Hunt

department a valuable Scientific Record has been

Once a Manila—T. S. Arthur & 8011’: new magazine
enters upon its second year with its paces somewhat
lengthened, so that they are enabled to give much
more reading matter than formerly; the price, how.
ever, remains unchanged. The new venture. the pub-
lishers claim, is a decided success. It is a good maga-
zine.
The Riverside Magazine for Young People makes
no change in general appearance, but the January
number appears with the same brilliant cover and
wide pggel as heretofore. Felix 0. C. Darley has a

famous ride, and a small one illustrating a story by
Vieux Moustache. There are other pictures by Hop_

Dr. Wlllurd Parker on Stimulants.
Blood has been called “ floating flesh." It
is the immediate storehouse out of which the
body is constantly formed, the universal
center of all the‘ vital activity. ’
Through the blood are carried on the two
great vital processes, repair and waste. The
human body always consuming, always re-
placing, is on one hand an incessant funeral,
on the other an incessant birth. The fune-
ral is the constant dislodgement'and remov-
al of used-up matter; the birth the constant
formation and deposit of fresh new matter.
The blood of course directly supports and
influences both the great nervous systems;
the voluntary system, which obeys the will
(and can get' tired). and the involuntary,
which supplies the vitality of the organs of
animal life, viz: the stomach, heart, etc.
(which apparently does not get tired).
The five chief stimulants are: tea, coffee,
alcohol, opium, tobacco.
Stimulants when taken in a liquid form,
go at once into the blood, and of course ope-
rate promptly upon the tissues of all parts
of the body. Tea and coffee stimulate, alco-
hol, opium and tobacco poison.
TEA AND COFFEE—Some persons can use
both tea and coffee with impunity; a few
coffee, but not tea; a good many tea, but not
coffee. Tea and coffee used in moderation
do not shorten life ,' used in excess they do,
however, producing great nervous irrita-
bilitv and exhaustion. - .
Milk and sugar ought to be used with both
tea and coffee. Their nutriment appears to
protect the system against over-stimulus.
ALCOHOL—Man will have something to
drink besides water. He is a drinking ani-
mal. The thing required therefore is on y
that he drink what shall not harm him.
Therenecd be no quarrel with pure lager
bier and pure light wines, used in modern-
tion. California wines are from very sweet
grapes, therefore'fermeutation (which chan-
ges sugar into alcohol) makes them strongly
alcoholic and intoxicating.
The liquors now drank are poisonous. I
hospital for years. There used to be such,
but new such patients come in craey'—raa-
ing; from the effects, not of alcohol, but of
adulterated liquor.
As between tea and coffee on one hand,
and alcohol on the other, a certain good man
in New York used to say that “ he was al-
ways glad to find that a young man liked
tea and coffee, because then he was not likely
to become fond of alcoholic drinks.” Again,
tea and coffee retard the processes of waste
in the system, and thus enable the two ner-
vous systems to furnish working power to
the body for a longer time. Alcohol has no
such power. During the riots of 1863 Mr.
Acton, President Of the Board of Metropoli-
tan Police, went one hundred hours without
eating or sleeping, taking only from time to
time a cup of strong cofi‘ee.——E’vanyelz‘st.

Conversation Dying Out.
What is becoming of conversation ?" in-
quiring minds are beginning to ask. Is it to
be classed among the lost arts of which
Wendell Philips discourses? Certainly, so-
ciety is every day growing less and less ea-
pable Of conversation, more and tnore weari-
some to itself. Now, the strange thing about
this is that almost all Americans are fluent
talkers: American women are generally
ifted with a fluency far surpassing that of
reach women, whom they equally surpass
in information and intelligence. Why, then,
have we no conversation—in society at least?
Well, for one reason, because societvo(we
are speaking now of New York) is afflicted
with arm a lots practice, which seems abso-
lutely to prohibit general conversation.
Take a social gathering of New Yorkers, at
which there are only six persons present,
and what do you observe ? Not sixpersons
engaged in conversation, but three couples,
distinct and separate, each couple occupied
in a tote a tote. Of course, if the six people
were always three couples of lovers this
would be delightful; and if general conver-
sation suffered the lovers would not much
care. But these things do not usually thus
arrange themselves; and there are very few
people who can carry on a long talk, lets a.
tale, without tiring each other. Moreover,
such a dialogue makes it necessary that there
shall be no pause. You know that the mo-
ment your partner stops you must go on;
and an iron necessity of this kind is the death
of all true conversation. 'But let the six
people ta.k together, one throwing the ball
to his neighbor, who flings it on in his turn,
and it is marvellous how bright and ani-
mated becomes the conversation of even
very ordinary persons. No one feels that
he must speak at a certain moment Whe;her
he likes it or not; and he must be very dull
indeed if the ideas fiasbing‘around him do'
not fire him with some ideas of his own.
The splitting up of society into couples is
a peculiarity which must strike a stranger
ve much in New York. People absolutely
wil not talk except in twos. A French lady,
herselfa mistre s and a lover of good cou-
versation, and for many years a resident of
New York, has assured us that all her most
strenuous and resolute efforts to introduce
the system of general conversation in her
own drawing-room, when only a social few
are present, have proved an absolute failure.
Even the experiment of gathering her guests
round a circular table ‘was unsuccessful.
They would remain silent, or discourse in
isolated couples. So she gave up the effort
at reform. In the salon of her countrywoman,
Madame Recamier, the rule was rigid that
conversation must be general. Once, a young
lady ventured on a remark in a low tone to
a neighbor. Madame Recamier gently, but
decisively, rebuked the offender. Some pity-
iug friend came to the rescue, and pleaded
that Mademoiselle was probably too modest
to speak aloud in so distinguished a com-
pany. “But surely she is not too modest to
listen,” the hostess calmly replied. Now,
we won’t want all the rigor of the beautiful
Reeamier's rule; but a mild and modified
application of it would be a great boon to
New York—Nebulae, in January Galaxy.

My gr; ndmothcr and several aunts and cousins
died ofc .nsnmption. My mother had a cancer: I was
taken wi h a bad cough which had afi'ected me 18
months ; 12 months after my cough commenced, can-
cers begs u in both breasts, which grew rapidly for
six months, hard cancerous lumps in both breasts.
In this state I called on you with but little hope, as
both my lungs were affected, and a cancer in each
breast. Consumption and cancer seemed to struggle
which would destroy me first._ I had sufl'ered much
from dyspepsia. Your remedies, with the concentra-
ted cancer mineral sprint! water have wholly bured
me. I have been perfectly well fortwo months; no
cough or expectoration; no swelling in my breasts;
no dyspbpsia; no pain or suffering. Everywhere I
am strong and able to perform all my duties. I took

GOLDEN BXTRAGT,
AS ADAPTED TO THE
Diseases of the Kldneyu and Urinary
Organs.
No class of diseases to which the human flesh is
heir, so secretly and surely steal away the life blood
of the victim and burr as many poor mortals to an
untimely grave as dot ese affections of the kidneys
and urinary organs—none so stealthily undermine
health—none render extstenee such a burden. And
yet. unhappily, so greatly does our mode of life, our
manners and our customs predispose these delicate
organs of our body to disease, that no class or condi-
tion of people are exempt from their destrucrive in-
fluence. Indeed so prevalent are they among people
of the present day, that scarcely a man or woman
can he found whose kidneys and attendant organs
are in a perfectly sound and healthy condition. By
recent statistics it is found that. nearly two-thirds of
all the deaths occurring in the United States can be
clearly traced to some one or other of the diseases
of this class, and to swell this ratio there are huu~
dreds dying every day, who, thro h a lamentable
feeling of false modesty, fail to ma e known.-—-even
unto a physician—the nature of the complaint which
sooner or later ends in their death. 'Unf'ortunatel; .
these diseases begin so slowly and imperceptibly that
the unconscious victim rarely detects their presence
until they attain such an aggravated degree as to be
utterly beyond relief-by the ordinary modes of treat-
ment. They often exist for years without the least
knowledge of their presence. The pattentis at length
awakened to the fuel: that his strength is gradually
failing, and that he is becoming pale and sallow, and
feels weak and disinclined to make the least exertion.
Perhaps his suspicions are aroused by a little puffiness
under the eyes—a slight swelling of the ankles at ,
night—unusally frequent calls to void urine—short- .
ness of breath—or heat over the kidneys. In other
cases these premonitor symptoms are altogether
wanting, or, as is often t e case, they are by unheed— i
ed. The fatal disorganization of the kidneyssilently '
proceeds, and suddenly, amid apparent health, there

occurs of their being attacked by disease. Ma,”
valuable lives have been lost from the not attending
to this simple precaution. for it is well known that,
when once under full headway they present a most -
formidable disease for treatment. 'lhel': has ever
been a mystery hanging over them, and even tn this
enlightened day their causes upd treatment are but.
little understood among physicrans. Dr. Wilson very
justly remarks that “ no diseases are attended With
as fatal results, and he who triumphs over them tn-
umphs indeed, our most skilful treatment and unre.
mitting attention seldom stays their destructive
course." A reliable remedy is not known to the pro-
fession, and it is to meet this extgency and suppl this
great want that the Golden Extract is ofi'ere and
indeed the object has been most thoroughly accom.
plished, for, in so far as human ingenuity and fore-
sight can fix upon means well adapted to certain ends,
there is claimed for this preparation a power which
no remedy has ya: attained. Pbyltcmns who have
given it a trial pronounce it the best remedy known;
and admit that " no remed , or combination of rome-
dies in the whole M Moria} odlca possess such power
to heal and restore these organs to their normal and
healthy condition." It has been put to the severest
tests and has in every instance more than sustained
the virtues claimed for it. So often has its complete
control over these affections been proved that: we de-
clare it as our honest conviction that no case }n exis-
tence is so bad that it. can not be mainly relieved by
m use. It not. only acts immediately on the per a a'.
fected, but with such power that it eradtcstes every
