Having seen your preparations extensively
| advertised, consulted with my family physi-
clan Il: regard 10 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 I do
| SPARED of ever getting well, and determined ts
| use no remedies hereafter unless knew of the
ingredients. 1t was this that prompted me 10
use your remedy. As yeu advertised that it
was composed of buehu. cubeJs and Juniper 5er-

| excellent continuation, and, with his advice.
after an examination of the article, and con-
sulting again with the druggist, l concluded to
try 1t. commenced its use about eight months
ago, at which time was confined to my room.
Fr0m the first bottle was astonished and graft
flied ut the beneficial effect and after using it
three weeks was able 70 walk out. felt much
like writing you full statement of my case at
that time, but thought my Improvement might
only be temporary. and therefore concluded to
defer ana see IL 1t would effect perfect cure,
knowing then it would be of greater value TO
you and more satisfactory to me.

after using the remedy for five months.

taste and od0r, q nice tonic and invigoratOr of
