various medicinal preparations, and been un-
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.
Ildid this because had used all kinds of ad-

affections. NJ. MCCORMICK.
