A CASE OF TWENTY YEARS STANDING
PHILADELPHIA Penn, June %, Is

PHILADELPHIA, Penn, June %, 1867.
II. T. HELMBoLD 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.
Having seen your preparations extensively adj
vertsed, consulted my family physician in regard
to using your Extract Buchu.
l 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 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 phy $
cian as an excellent combination: and with his adj
vice, after an examination OF the article ana con
sulting again with the druggist, concluded TO try
it, commenced to use 1t about eight months ago,
at which time confined to my room.
From the first bottle was astonished at the ben
efcal effect, and after using it three weeks was
able to walk out l 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 see ii 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 Il 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 ta,te
and odor nice tonic and invigorator of the system.
do not mean to be without it whenever occasion

EDITOR COSMOPLITE: desire, an unsolicited
tribute to the merits of Helmbold's Buchu and for
the benefit of those similarly afflicted myself to
say that after consulting many eminent physicians
and trying nearly all the best advertised remedies,
in the vain hope of finding relief from aggravated
kidney and bladder Diseases from which have
suffered excessively for many years good fortune
commenced using with little faith and no apparent
beneficial results for about month. At the expir-
alton of that time, however, l 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 inirm old man,
nearly rs years OF age, and consequently medicines
cannot be expected to fayorably affect me rs they
otherwise would, have found such unspeakable
relief and permanent benefit from Mr.. HelmbOds
valuab BILE discovery, that feel / ought to publicly
record the fact, as an acknowledgement to him and
a valuable suggestion to the public.
