Dear SIR : i 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-
der the treatment Of the most emincnt physi.
clans. experiencing but littlerelief.
Having seen your preparations extensively
advertised, consulted with my family physi-
cian IN regard 10 using your Extract Bpohu.
Ifdid 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 yeu advertised that II
was composed Of buchu, cu6ebs and juniper ber-
rnd IN mn araA
excellent combination and, with his advice,
after an examination of the article, and con-
sulting again with the druggist, concluded 20
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 it
three weeks was able to walk out. felt much
like writ ing you full statement Of my case AT
that time, but thought my improvement nigh
only be temporary, and therefore concluded to
defer and sec II it would effect q perfect cure,
knowing then II would be of greater value to
you and more satisfactory to me
/ am now able to reDert that a cure il 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 odor, nice tonic and invigorator o
the system, do not mean to DO without it
whenever occasion may require its use in such
afections :, M: MCCORMICK.
