DIR. HELMBoLD:
Dear Sir: It 10 with much pleasure that l
write you upon facts respecting myself. do
not know hardly how to express myself. /
have been for the past ten years the greatest
sufferer man could be and live; but more
some times than others. The complaint was
the kidneys" and Bladder" I have been
sometimes from twelve to fourteen hours
and wanted to make water every minute, but
could not. Have consulted doctors, both in
Massachusetts, and this State, and taken pills,
I may say by the quart, also liquored medi.
cines, but found no relief from any, and got
worse the last six months. l was 80 bad that
/ could scarcely get about. Icould not rest
night or day. It would soon have been call
up" with me, II I had not seen your adyer-
tisement in the Berkshire Courier, headed
" Kidneys" I read It through and thought
would try it. I purchased a bottle, but, mind
you, had not much faith in It. Why should
/, when I had been trying so many things
and cost me SO much? Well, l began taking
It, and before / had taken the first bottle I felt
bad but l had finished it and got another.
BY the time I took half Of the second I still
got worse apparently. When I walked it
seemed as II my rightkidney was falling from
its place, and I felt really bad. felt so, be.
fore I had finished the second, that I had
made up my mind 1t was ofno use trying any
more-and all this time the "Buchu" was
doing It's work, but I did not know It, so I
gave 1t up and went to Hartford on Saturday
10 one Of tho best doctors in the city. He
said It was the neck OF the bladder, and !
should have to undergo ar operation. He
gave me medicine, and I went home quite
d~ownhearted. On Sunday I was unable to
20 to church. l had not taken any Of his
medicine, but on my return continued using
the "Buchu," and In the afternoon I had 4
desire to make water, but could not. About
one hour after I tried again, with the same
result; but the next time I took the vessel it
was the same as turning a faucet and stop
ping 1t off again. It was so for three times,
and the third time there was something came
through the passage and struck against the
| side Of the vessel. / examined It, and It Il
the uglicst stone or gravel you ever saw, COW
cred over with little pieces which collected
together. It looks the color Of mud turtle
and Is as hard as flint. So you sec the Buchu
was doing its work, although I was feeling
so badly. I procured another bottle, think.
ing there might be some more behind; bu,
since that has passed, which is eight week,
ago last Sunday, I have been as we'll as ever
1 was in my life. I have the stone securely
wrapped up, and those who have seen It in
this place are surprised. I cannot tell you
all, but this is u true story'of my case, and
you are welcome to make such use Of my
name as you think proper. l am pretty well
known in Berkshire; also in Connecticut.
The advertisement savedme. Why not pub
lish morca The Springfield Republican is a
widespread paper. II any one wishes to see
this wonder, they can do SO. I could write
all day, but think I have said enough this
time, so I remain your ever well-visher,
