quent discharges Of water. Strangury or stop-
ping OF wnter. 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.. Physck, in these affections.

Ii. Il. HKLMB0LD, Druggist.
Dedr Sir; have been sufferer for upwards
of twenty years, with gravel, bladder and kid
ney. affections, during which time have used
various medicinal Preparations, and been un-
clans, experiencing but little relief.
Having, seen your preparations extensively
advertised, consulted with my family physi-
clan IN regard to using your Extract Buchu.
lidid this because | had used all kinds of nd
vertised remedies, and had found them worth
less, and some quite injuriOus in fact, / de-
SPARED OF ever getting well, and determined 10
use no remedies hereafter unless | knew of the
ingredients. 1t was this that prompted mo To
use your remedy. AS yeu advertised that IL
was composed of bgchu, cuJebs and juniDer her.
ries, Il occurred to me and my physician AS an
excellent combination, and, with his advice,
after an examination of the article, and con-
sulting again with the druggist I concluded 10
try it. i commenced its use about eight months
ago, NJ which time was confined TO NV room.
From the first bottle was astonished and graf
lhod 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 al
that time, but thought my improvement might
only be temporary. and therefore concluded TO
deier anu see II IL would elect q perfect cure,
knowing then it would be of greater value TO
you and more satisfactory to me,
am now able TO rep0rt that a cure Is effected
after using the remedy for five months.
nave sf 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 invigorator of
the system, do not mean TO be without il
whenever occasion may require its use in such
affections. NJ. MCCORMICK.
