DEAR SIR: have been sufferer for UPWARDS of
Twenty years with gravel, bladder and kidney afec-

OF the most eminent physicians, experiencing hut
little relief.
Having seen your preparations extensively adver-

using your Extract Buchu.
did this because had used all kinds of adyer-
tised remedies and had found them worthless, and
some quite injurious: in fact, I despaired of ever
getting well, and determined TO use no remidies
hereafter unless knew of the Ingredients. II was
this that prompted me to use your remedy. As
you advertised that it was composed OF buchu Gu
beds, and juniper berries, it occurred to me and
my physician as an excellent combination; and,
with his advice, after examination OF the article
and consulting again with the druggist, concluded
to try it. commenced to use it about eight months
ago at which time was confined to my room,

IT it would effect perfect cure, knowing that IL

AM NOW ABLE TO REPORT THAT CURE IA Eff
