DEAR SIR-I have been sufferer, for upwards of
twenty years, with gravel, bladder, and kidney at
tons, during which time have used various medici
nal preparations, and been under the treatment of
the most eminent Physicians, experiencing but
little relief
Having seen your preparations extensively adver.
tised, consulted with my family physician in re-
gard to using your Extract Buchu.
did this because had used all kinds OF advcr-
tlsed remedies, and had found them worthless, and
soma quite njurious in TACT despaired of ever got
ting well, and determined to use no remedies here
after unless knew the ingredients It was this
that prompted me to use your remedy. you adj
vertsed that it composed of buchu, cubebs, and
uniper berries, it occurred to me and my ply sicans
excellent combination, and, with his advice,
after an examination of the article, and consulting
again with the druggist, L concluded to try it. I
commenced its use about eight months ago, at which
bottle was astonished and grafed at the beneficial
effect and after using it three weeks, was able to
walk out. felt much like writing you full state
ment of my case at that time, but thought my i'm
provement might only be temporary, AMI therefore
concluded to defer and If it would effect per-
fcct cure knowing then would be of greater value
to yon, and more satisfactory to me.
am now able to report that cure is effected after
using the remedy tor 1--WE months.
have not used any tor three NOR this and
feel as well in all respects as ever did. -
Your Buchu being devoid of any unpleasant taste
and odor, nice tonic and nvigorator OF the system
do not mean TO be without it whenever occasion
may require its use in such affections.
