PHILADELPHIA, Penn, June %, 1867.
II. T. HELMBoLD, Druggist-DEAR SIR: | have
been sufferer for upwards of twenty years with
gravel, bladder and kidney affections, during which
time have used various medicinal preparations
and been under the treatment of the most eminent
physicians, experiencing but little relief.
vertised, ;, l consulted my family ply scan in regard
to using your Extract. Buchu.
did this because had used al kinds of adver,
tised remedies and had found them worthless, and
some quite injurious in fact, despaired of ever
getting well, and determined to use no remedies
hereafter unless knew of the ingredients. Ii was
this that prompted me to use your remedy. As you
advertised that it was composed of buchu, cubebs
and juniper berries it occurred TO me and my phys
ician an excellent combination; and with his adj
vice, after an examination of the article and con
suting again with the druggist, I concluded to try
it. commenced to use it about eight months ago,
at which time vas confined to my room
From the first bottle was astonished at the ben
efcial effect, and after using it three weeks
able to walk out. felt much like writing to you
full statement of my at the time, but thought
my Improvement might only be temporary, and
therefore concluded to defer, and see il it would
effect perfect cure, knowing that it wOnld 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 :
have not used any now for three months, and
feel as well in all respects as ever did
Your Buchu being devoid Of any unpleasant taste
and odor nice tonic and inv igoratOr of the system
l do not mean to be without it whenever occasion

selection, and thereby receive the approval Of the
community.

vote. Mr.. Cassidy believed in presenting one can
didate to the people for If the convention presented
man against Judge Paxson it will bring out solid
vote of the Republican party and therefore endanger
both of the Democratic nominees.
