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.
vertsed consulted my family physician in regard
to using your Eqtract Buchu
| did this because had used all kinds of adver-
tsed remedies and had found them worthless and
some quite injurious; in fact despared of ever
getting well, 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 ii was composed of buchu, cubebs
and juniper berries it occurred to me and my phys
ician as excellent combination; and with his adj
vice, after examination of the article and con-
sulting again with the druggist concluded to try
il. 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
efcial effect, and after using II three weeks was
able to walk out. felt much like writing to you IA
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 valie 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 invgoratOr of the system
