various medicinal preparations, and been I'M

clans. experiencing but little relief.
Having seen your preparations extensively
advertised, consulted with my family physi-
clan in regard to using your Extract Buchu.
did this because had used all kinds of ad-
vertised remedies, and had found them worth
less, and some quite injurious; in fact, de-
spared of ever getting well. and determined to
use no remedies hereafter unless knew Of the
ingredients. 1t was this that prompted me 10

ago. ar which time | was confined to my room.
From the first bottle was astonished and graf
fled at the beneficial effect. and after using it
three weeks was able to walk out. i felt much
like writing you a full statement of my case at
that time. but thought my improvement might
only be temporary, and therefore concluded to

knowing then il would be of greater value to
you and more satisfactory to me.
/ am now able to report that cure is effected
after using the remedy for five months

our Buchu being devoid of any unpleasant
taste and odor, nice tonic and invigorator of
the system, l do not mean to be without it
whenever occasion may require its use in such
affections. N. MCCORMICK.
