DIR. HELMBOLD:
DEAR SIR: 1t is with much pleasure that write
you upon facts respecting myself. 1 do not know
hardly how to express myself. IhaYe been, for the
last ten or twelve years, the greatest sufferer man
could be and live; but more sometimes than
others. The complaint was the Gravel, "Kid neys'
aud Bladder" 1 have been sometimes from
twelve to fourteen hours, and wanted to make
water every minute, but could not. Have consult
ed doctors, both in Massachusetts and this State,
and taken pills, I may say, by the quart, also
iquored medicines but 1 found no relief from
any, and got worse the last six months. was
that could scarcely get about I could not rest
night or day. 1t would soon have been 'an up
with me if 1 had not seen your advertisement in
'The Berkshire Courier" headed "Kidneys." 1
read it through and thought would try it. I pur-
chased bottle; but, mind you, had not much faith
in it. Why should 1, when 1 had been trying so
many things and cost me so much? Well, 1 began
taking it, and before had taken the first bottle
felt bad; but finished it and got another. By the
time took half the second 1 still got worse zap
parently). When walked it seemed as if my right
kidney was falling from its place. and felt really
bad. 1 felt so, before had finished the second
that had made up my mind it was of no use try
ing any more-and all this time the ''Buchu" was
doing its work, but did not know it; SO gave it
up and went to Hartford on Saturday, to of the
best doctors in the city, He said it the neck Of
the bladder, and 1 should have to undergo
operation. He gave me medicine, and went
home quite downhoarted On Sunday was unable
to go to church. had not taken any of his medi-
cine, but on my return continued using the "Bu-
| chu," and in the afternoon had desire to make
water, but could not. About one hour after this
| tried again, with the same result; but the next
time took the vessel it the same as turning
faucet and stopping off again. 1t was so for three
| times, and the third time there was something
came through the passage and struck against the
side of the vessel. 1 examined ii, and it is the
uglest stone or gravel you ever saw, covered over
with little pieces which collected together. 1t looks
the color of mud turtle, and is as hard as flint
| So you see the "Buchu" was doing its work, al
though was feeling so badly procured another
bottle, thinking there might be some more behind;
but since that has passed, which is eight weeks ago
| last Sunday, have been as well as ever was in
| my life / have the stone securely wrapped and
those who have seen it in this place surprised.
cannot tell you all, but this is true story of my
case, and you are welcome to mako such use of my
/ name as you think proper. am pretty well known
in Berkshire also in Connecticut. The advertise
ment saved me. Why not publish more? The
Springfield Republican is widespread paper. If
any one wishes to see this wonder, they can do
so. could write all day, but think have said
enough this time, so 1 remain your ever we'll
