EDITOR COSMOPLITE: desire, an unsolicited
tribute to the merits of Helmbods Buchu, and for
the benefit of those similarly afflicted myself to
say that after consulting many eminent ply yscians,
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 Helmbolds Buchu, which
commenced using with little faith, and no apparent
beneficial results for about month At the eXpr-
alton of that time however, thought commenced
to experience slight relief, which encouraged me to
persevere in its and now, at the expiration of
four m0nths, although l am an infirm old man,
nearly 7S years of age, and consequently medicines
cannot be expected to favorably affect me they
otherwise would, l have found such unspeakable
relief and permanent benefit from MIR. Hembold's
valuable discovery that feel i ought to publicly
record the fact, as an acknowledgement to him and
u valuable suggestion to the public.

some quite injurious; in fact despared Of ever

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, cubebs
and juniper berries, it occurred to me and my phys
ician excellent combination; and with his ad-
vice, after an examination of the article and con-
suting again with the druggist, concluded to try
it. commenced to use 1t about eight months ago,
at which time l vas confined to my room.

full statement of my case at the time, but thought
my Improvement might only be temporary, and
therefore concluded to defer, and see II 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 five months.
