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

EDITOR CosMOPLITE: desire as an unsolicited
tribute to the merits of Helmbolds Buchu and for
the benefit of those similarly afflicted myself 10
say that after consulting many eminent ply scians
and trying nearly all the best advertised remedies
in the vain hope of finding relief from aggrv ated
kidney and bladder diseases, from which / have
suffered excessively for many years, good fortune
finally suggested to me Helmbold's Buchu, which /
commenced using with little faith, and no apparent
beneficial results for about month. At the expir-
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 am an nrn old man,
nearly - years of age, and consequently medicines
cannot be expected to favorably affect they
otherwise would, have found such unspeakable
relief and permanent benefit from Mr.. Helmbold's
valuable discovery, that feel | ought to publicly
record the fact, as an acknowledgement to him and

MIR. ii. T. 1IELMBOhD-DEAR SIR: In regard to
the question asked me as to my opinion about Bu-

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 my self, that it has been
extensively employed in the various diseases of the
bladder and kidneys, and the reputation it has ac-
quired, in my judgment, is warranted by the facts.
have seen and used, as before stated, every form
of Buchu-the powdered leaves, tincture, fluid ex-
tracts-and am not congnizant of any preparation
of that plant at all equal to yours. Twelve years
experience ought, think, to give me the right to
judge of its merits; and, without prejudice or par
TALLY give yours precedence over all others.

diseases of the bladder and kidneys than | have
ever cured with any other Buchu or any other
proprietary compound of whatever name. Respect

II. T. HEIMBoLp, Druggist-DEAR SIR: | have
been 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 physician in regard
to using your EqtraCtjBuchu.
did this because had used al kinds of adver
tised 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, cubebs
and juniper berries it occurred To me and my phys
ician as an excellent combination and with bis ad
vice after examination of the article and con-
sulting again with the druggist, concluded to try
it. / commenced to use 1t about eight months ago
at which time vas confined to my room.
From the first bottle was astonished at the ben
efical effect, and after using it three weeks was
able to walk out. felt much like writing to you
full statement of my case at the time, but thought
my improvement might only be temporary, and
therefore concluded to defer, and il 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 a 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 Buchu being devoid of any unpleasant taste
and odor nice tonic and yigorator of the system.
do not mean to be without it whenever occasion
