of twenty years, with gravel, bladder and kid
ney affections, during which time / have used
various medicinal preparations, and been I'M
der the treatment Of the most eminent physi-
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 to
use your remedy. AS you advertised that il
was composed of buchu cubebs and juniper ber-
ries, il occurred to me and my physician rs an
excellent combination, and, with his advice,
after an examination Of the article and con,
sulfnz again with the druggist, l concluded to
| try ii. | commenced its use about eight months
| ago, at which time was confined to nv room.
| From the first bottle was astonished and graf
| flied at the beneficial effect, and after using Il
| three weeks was able to walk out | felt much
| like writing you fall statement of my case at
that time, but thought my Improvement might
only be Temporary, and therefore concluded to
defer and see IL it would effect perfect cure,
| 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
| l have not used any now for three months,
and feel as well in all respects as / ever did
Your Buchu being devoid Of any unpleasant
taste and odor, nice tonic and invgorator Of

whenever occasion may require its use in such
/ affections. NJ. MCCORMICK.
