various functions. If they are neglected, Ora

TREATMENT.
Helmbold's highly concentrated compound
Extract Buchu is decidedly one of the best
remedies for diseases Of the bladder. kidneys,
gravel. dropsical sswellings, rheumatism, and
equity affections. Under this head we have ar
ranged Dysuria. or di ticulty and pain in pass
ing water, scanty secretion or small and fire.
quent discharges Of water, Strangury or stop
ping of water, Hermaturia or bloody urine,
Geut and rheumatism of the kidneys, without
any change in quality. but increase of color or
dark water. 1t was always highly recommended
by the late DR.. Physick, in these affections.
This medicine increases the power of diges-
ton and exeites the absorbents into healthy ex-
ercise, by which the watery or calcareous de-
positions and all unnatural enlargements, as
well as pain and Inflammation. are reduced, and

Having seen your preparations extensively
advertised. l consulted with my family physi-
clan in regard 70 using your Extract Buehu.

vertiscd remedies, and had found them worth
less. and some quite Injurious: in fact | de-
SPARED Of ever getting WE'LL and determined TO
use no remedies hereafter unless knew of the
ingredients. II was this that prompted me TO
use your remedy. As You ADVERT ed that il

ries. il occurred 10 me and my physician as an
excellent combination. and, with his advice
after an examination Of the article and con-
snlting again with the druggist, concluded to
try il. ] commenced its use about eight mon hs

From the first bottle l was astOnighed and graf
flied at the beneficial effect, and after using il
three weeks was able 10 walk out felt much
like writing You a full statement Of my case nd
that time, but thought my Improvement might
only be temporary, and therefore concluded to
defer and see If II would effect a perfect cure.
