various forms for the past thirty years. do not
think there is any form preparation oft have not
used, or known to be used in the various diseases
where such medicate agent would be indicated.
You are aware, as well as myself that it has been
extensively employed in the various diseases of the
bladder and kidneys and the reputation it has ac
qured in my judgment, is warranted by the facts.

of Buehu--the powdered leaves, tincture, fluid ex

Judge of its merits; and without prejudice or par

A CASE OF TWENTY YEARS STANDING.

PHILADELPHIA, Penn June 25, 1867
II. T. HEIMBoLD, Druggist-DEAR SIR: have
been a 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, consulted my family ply sican in regard
to using your Eqtract Buchu.
l did this because had used all kinds of adver.
tsed 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. 1t was
this that prompted me to use your remedy. As you
advertised that it was composed of buchu, cuDeDs
and iuniper berries it occurred to me and my phys
ician as an excellent combination and with his adj
vice, after an examination of the article and con-
sulting again with the druggist, 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 astonshed at the ben
eficia effect and after using it three weeks
able to walk out. felt much like writing to you a
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 Bucha being devoid Of any unpleasant taste
and odor nice tonic and iuvigorator of the system
| do not mean to be without it whenever occasion

CURE OF KIDNEY AND LIVER AFFECTION OF A
PATIENT SEVENTY EIGHT YEARS OF AGE
THANKS TO MIR. HELMBOLD.
GIRARD, Pa, March 81, 1869.


EDITOR CoSMOPLIrE: DESIRE as an unsolicited
tribute to the merits of Hclmbold's 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 HembOld's Buchu, which
commenced using with little faith, and no apparent
beneficial results for about a month At the expr-
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 inflrm old man,
nearly 7s years of age, and consequently medicines
cannot be expected TO favoraby affect me as they
otherwise would, have found such unspeakable
relief and permanent benefit from Mr.. Hembold'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, ID. NJ. LARES.
