DR.. HELMBoLp:
Dear Sir: It is with much pleasure that I
write you upon facts respecting myself. l 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" 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,
1 may say by the quart, also liquored medi-
cines, but found no relief from any, and got
worse the last six months. I was so bad that
l could scarcely get about. 1 could not rest
night or day. It would soon have been sail
up" with me, II I had not seen your adver-
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
I, when l had been trying SO many things
and cost me so muchi Well, / began taking
II, and before l had taken the first bottle l felt
bad; but I had finished it and got another.
BY the time I took half Of the second l still
got worse (apparcntly). When I walked II
seemed as II my r~ightkidney was falling from
its place, and l felt really bad. l felt so, be-
fore 1 had finished the second, that I had
made up my mind it was ofno use trying any
morc-and all this time the "Buchu" was
doing its work. but l did not know it, So
gave it up and went to Hartford on Saturday
to one Of the best doctors in the city. He
said II was the neck OF the bladder, and !
should have to undergo an operation. He
gave me medicine, and I went home quite
downhearted. On Sunday I was unable to
90 to church. I had not taken any Of his
medicine, but on my return continued using
the "Buchu," and in the afternoon I had q
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 q faucet and stop
ping it of 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 1t, and 1t is
the ugliest stone or gravel you ever saw, Gov
cred over with little pieces which collected
together. 1t looks the color Of mud turtle,
and is as hard us flint. So you see the Buchu
was doing its work, although was feeling
so badly. Iprocured another bottle, think
ing there might be some more behind; but
since that has passed, which is eight weeks
ago last Sunday, l have been as well as ever
1 was in my life. have the stone securely
wrapped up, and those who have seen it in
this place arc surprised. I cannot tell you
all, but this is a true story Of my case, and
you arc welcome to make such use Of my
name as you think proper. 1 am pretty we'll
known in Berkshire; also in Connecticut.
The advertisement savedme. Why not pub.
lish morc9 The Springfield Republican is a
widespread paper. II any ono wishes to see
this wonder, they can do SO. l could write
all day, but think l have said enough this
time, SO I remain your ever well-wisher,
