II. T. HELMBOLD, Druggist
Dear Sir have been asufferer for upwards
Of twenty years, with gravel. bladder and kid
ney. affections, during which TINE / have used
various medicinal preparations, and been I'M
der the treatment of the most eminent physi-
clans, experiencing but little relief.
Having seen your preparations extensively
advertised, consulted with my family physi-
clan in regard to using your Extract Buchu
Ildid this because / had used all kinds of ad-
vertised remedies, and had found them worth
less, and some quite injurious; in fact, l de-
SPARED Of ever getting we'll, and determined to
use no remedies hereafter unless knew Of the
ingredients. 1t was this that prompted me TO
use your remedy, AS yeu advertised that i /
was composed of buchH, cubebs and jttaiDer her

excellent combination, and, with his advice,
after an examination of the article, and con-
sulting again with the druggist. concluded TO
try it. | commenced its use about eight months
ago, at which time / was confined to my 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 full statement of my case at
thattime, bat thought my Improvement nigh
only be temporary, and therefore concluded to
defer and see If it would effect a perfect cure,
knowing then il would be of greater value 10
you and more satisfactory to me.
/ am now able to report that cure is effected
after using the remedy for five months.
have not used any now for three months.
