l Il I. HELMBoLD, Druggist:
DEAR SIR have been 0 sufferer, for upwards o.
twenty years, with gravel bladder and kidney afec
tions, during which time have used various mcdi
cina preparations, and been under the treatment Of
the most eminent Physicians experiencing but lit.
| tie relief
Having seen ycur prep arations exten sively adver-
tised, consulted with my family physician in re.
gard to using your Extract Buchu.
1 did this because had used all kinds OF adver-
tised remedies, and had found them worthless, and
some quite injurious; in fact, despaired of ever
| getting we'll, 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 and
juniper berries It occurred to me and my physician
as an excellent combination, and, with his advice,
after an examination Of the article and consulting
again with the druggist, concluded to try it.
commenced its use about eight months ago, at
which time was confined to my room From the
first bottle 1 was sstonisLed and gratifed at the
beneficial effect, and after using it three weeks, was
able to walk out. 1 felt much like writing you q
full statement of my ct that time, but thought
! my Improvement might only be temporary, and
therefore concluded 10 defer and see IL it would
effect perfect cure, knowing then 1t would be of
greater value to you, and more satisfactory to me-
lam now able 10 report that cure is effected after
using the remedy FOR five months.
Ihave not used any now for three months and feel
as well in all respects as 1 ever did
Your Buchu being devoid of any unpleasant taste
and odor, nice tonic and invisorstor Of the system
1 do not mean to he without 1t whenever occasion
may require its use in such affections.
