PHILADELPHIA, Penn, june IS, 1867.

PHILADELPHIA. Penn, June 25, 1867.
H. T. HELMBoLp, 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
ply sicans, experiencing but little relief.
Having seen your preparations extensively ad,
TO using your Extract Buchu
! did this because had used all kinds of adver.
Used remedies and had found them worthless, and
some quite injurious in fact, despaired of ever
getting we'll, and determined to use no remedies
hereafter unless knew Of the ingredients. 1t was
this that prompted me to use your remedy. As you
advertised that it was composed OF buchu, cuoebs
and juniper berries, il occurred to me and my phys
cian as an excellent combination; and with his ad-
vice, after an examination of the article and con
sulting again with the druggist, concluded to try
it, commenced to use 1t about eight months ago,
at which time vas confined to my room.
From the first bottle was astonshed at the ben
cical effect, and after using it three weeks was
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 1t 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 tive months.
have not used any now for three months, and
ieel well in all respects as ever did.
Your Buchu being devoid OF any unpleasant taste
and odor, nice tonic and invigorator Of the system
do not mean to be without it whenever occasion

EDITOR CosMoPLITE: l DESIRE as an unsolicited
tribute to the merits of Helmbold's Buchu and for
the benefit of those similarly afflicted myself to
say that after consulting many eminent ply scians,
and trying nearly all the best advertised remedies,
in the vain hope of finding relief from aggravated
kidney and bladder diseases, from which have
suffered excessively for many years, good fortune
finally suggested to me Helmbold's Buchu which
commenced using with little faith, and no apparent
beneficial results for about month. At the expir.
alton of that time, however, thought commenced
to experience slight relief which encouraged me to
persevere in its use, and now, at the expiration OF
four months, although l am an infirm old man.
nearly Is years of age, and consequently medicines
cannot be expected to favorably affect me as they
otherwise would, have found such unspeakable
relief and permanent benefit from Mr.. Helmbold's
valuable discovery, that feel l ought to publicly
record the fact as an acknowledgement to him and
a valuable suggestion to the public.
Yours respectfully, d. NJ. LAREN.

DEAR SIR: We introduced your Fluid Extract
Buchu" in this country about eight months ago, and
are happy to state that it is meeting with universal
favor. We wish to inform You of one instance
(among many where your "Buchu" has worked
wonders. A man in our county, named j. H. Es-
tell had been suffering about five years with gray
ell. About six weeks ago he bought of us one bot
tie of your "Buchu," and before he was through
with one bottle he passed gravel that weighs eight
grains, which now have on exhibition IN our
drug store. He says he never will be without the
"Buchu" in his house again Your preparations
are gaining favor every day. Very respectfully,
yours &C, ECCLES 4 HINKLE, Druggists.
