The anterior absorbs. Interior consists OF
tissues or veins, which serve as deposit Tor the
urine and convey il to the exterior. The exte-
| rior is conductor also, terminating in single
| tube and called the Uretor. The ureters are
connected with the bladder.
The bladder Is composed OF various coverings
| OF tissues, divided into parts, viz: the Upper,
the Lower, the Nervous, and the Mucous. The
upper expels, tho lower retains. Many have a
desire to urinate without the ability, otners uri-
nate without the ability to retain. TINS ne

To cure these affections We must bring into
action the muscles, which arc engaged in their

II. T. HRLMBoLD, Druggist.
Dear Sir have been a sufferer for upwards
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 but little relief.
Having seen your preparations extensively
advertised, consulted with my family physi-
clan in regard to using your Extract Buchu.
Isdid this because had used all kinds Of ad
yertised 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. 1t was this that prompted me TO
use your remedy. As you advertised that
was composed of buchu, cubebs and juniper ber-
ries. 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. commenced its use about eight months
| ago. at which time l was confined to my room.
| From the first bottle was astonished and graf
fled at the beneficial effect, and after using il
| three weeks was able to walk out. felt much
like writ ing you a full statement Of my case at
| that time. but thought my improvement nigh
| only be temporary, and therefore concluded to
| defer and see if it would effect perfect cure,
| knowing then IL would be of greater value TO
| you and more satisfactory to me.
I am now able to report that cureis effected
after using the remedy for five months.
L 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
| the system, do not mean TO be without i
whenever occasion may require its use 2, in spct
| affections. NJ. MCCORMICK,
