of twenty years, with gravel, bladder and kid
ney affections, during which time l have used
various medicinal preparations, and been un-
eminent
clans. experiencing but little relief
Having seen your preparations extensively
advertised, / consulted with my family phvsi
clan IN regard to using your Extract Buchu.
IIdid this because l 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. IL was this that prompted me to
use your remedy. As yeu advertised that / I
was composed of buohu. cube6s 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. / commenced its use about eight months
ago, aJlwhich time | was confined to my room
From the hrst bottle was astonished and graft
ifed 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 nj
that time. but thought my improvement nigh
only be temporary, and therefore concluded to
defer and see II 1t would effect perfect cure
knowing then it would be of greater value 10
you and more satisfactory to me.
| am now able to report that n cure is effected
after using the remedy for five months.

Your Buchu being devoid of any unpleasant
taste and odor, nice tonic and invigorator o
the system. l do not mean to be without il
