ney affections, during which time i have used

clans. experiencing but little relief.
Having seen your preparations extensively
! advertised. consulted with. my family physi.
| clan in regard TO using your Extract Bachu.
! j did this because had used all kinds of adj
| vSrtised remedies, and had found them worth
| less. and some quite injurious: in fact, | de-
SPARED Of ever getting well, and determined tt
| use n remedies hereafter unless knew of the
ingredients. 1t was this that prompted mo Il
use your remedy. As You advertised that Il
was composed OF DuchH. cu6cbs aud juniper Der.
ries. it occurred TO me and my physician as az
| excellent combination, and, with his advice
after an examination Of the article, and con.
sulting again with the druggist. concluded Il
try il. j commenced It's use about eight month";
ago, &C which time / was confined to my room
From the first bottle was astonished and graf
fled at the beneficial effect. and after using 4
three weeks was able TO walk out. j felt much
like writing you full statement of my case nj
that time. but thought my improvement nigh
only be temporary. and therefore concluded Il
| 'eier and sec II it would effect a perfect cure
k. rowing then II would be Of greater value t.
| yo, Z and more satisfactory TO me.
