Dear SIR: have been n sufferer forupwartls
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-
clans, experiencing out 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 adj
| yertised 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 Juchu. cubeJs and juniper Der
| rtes. IT 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 concluded TO
| try it. l commenced its use about eight months
| ago, at which time was confined to my room
From the trst bottle was astonished and graf
| ihed at the beneficial effect. and after using il
| three weeks was able to walk out. felt much
| like writing you full staten ent of my case AT
that time. but thought my improvement might
| only be temporary, and therefore concluded to
defer and see if it would effect perfect cure.
knowing then it would be of greater value TO
you and more satisfactory to me.
| am now able to report that cureis effected
| after using the REMEDY for five months.
have not used any now for three months.
and feel as well in all respects as l ever did.
Your Buchu being devoid of any unpleasant
taste and od0r, nice tonic and invigorator of
the system. do not mean to be without il
affections. NJ MCCORMICK,
