II. T. HELNE0LD. Druggist.
| Dear 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-
der the treatment &C the most eminent pbys-
clans. experiencing but 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 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 you advertised that it
was composed Of 6uchu. cubeJs and juniper. ber-
ries. i occurred TO me and my physician as an
excellent combination, and. with his advice,
after an examination of the article and con-
| su!ting again with the druggist, concluded TO
try it. / commenced its use about eight months
| ago. Mt which time was confined to my ROOM
| From the first bottle was astonished and graf
fled at the beneficial effect. and after using it
| three weeks was able to walk out. felt much
| like writing you a full statement Of my case at
that time. but thought my improvement might
| only be temporary. and therefore concluded to
| defer and see u 1t would eject perfect cure,
knowing then it would be of greater value to
| you and more satisfactory to me.
| i am now able to report that a euro is effected
after using the remedy for five months.
have not used any now for three months,
and feel as well in all respects as ever did

| taste and 0dor, nice tonic and invigorator of
the system. do not mean to be without it
