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 Of tho most eminent physi.

Having seen your preparations extensively
| advertised. consulted with my family physi-
clan in regard TO using your Extract Buchu.
Ibdid this because had used all kinds of ad-
vertised remedies, and had found them worth
less, and some quite injurious; in fact, l de-

use no remedies hereafter unless knew of the
ingredients. II was this that, prompted me to
use your remedy. As yeu advertised that

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 was confined to my room.
From the first bottle was astonished and graf

three weeks was able TO walk out. | felt much
| like writing you n full statement Of my case at
that time. but thought my improvement migh
| only be temporary, and therefore concluded to
| defer and see If it would effect perfect cure
knowing then it would be of greater value to
/ you and more satisfactory TO me.
/ am now able to report that cure is effected
after using the remedy for FIVE months.
