Many have desire to urinate without the alb
ility; others urinate without the ability to re-
tain. This frequently occurs in children.

to action the muscles, which are engaged in
their various functions, If they are neglec
ted, Gravel or Dropsy may ensue.

however slight may be the attack, it is sure
to effect the bodily health and mental pow ers,
as our flesh and blood are suppoted from these
sources.

the loins is indicative of the above diseases,
They occur il persons disposed to acid stom-
ach and chalky concretions,
THE GRAvEL.-The gravel ensues from neg
lect or improper treatment OF the kidneys.

main;it becomes feverish, and sediment forms.

of twenty years, with gravel, bladder, and kid
ney affections, during which time have used
various medicinal preparations, and been under
the treatment of the most eminent physicians
experiencing but little relief.
Having seen your preparations extensively
advertised, l consulted with my family physi
clan i'll regard to using your Extract Buchu.
did this because had used all kinds of ad
vertised remedies, and had found them worth
less, alid some quite injurious; in fact, despair
cd of ever getting well, and determined to ust
no remedies hereafter unless l knew of the in
gradients. 1t was this fact prompted me to ust
your remedy. As you advertised that it wa

lent combination, and, with his advice, after al
examination of the article, and consulting agar
with the druggist concluded to try it.
commenced its uso about eight months ago, a
which time / was confined to my room. From
the first bottle was astonished and gratified
the beneficial effect, and after using it three
weeks was able to walk out. I felt much hk

time, but thought my improvement might oni!
