and for the benefit of those similarly afflicted as
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 finally suggested to me IELMBoLD's
BUCHU which commenced using with little faith,
and no apparent beneficial effects for about a
month. At the expiration Of that time, however
thought commenced to experience slight relief,
which encouraged me to perseyere in its use. and
now at the expiration of four months, although l
am an nflrm old man. nearly seventy-eight years
of age and consequently medicines cannot be eX-
pected to favorably affect me as they otherwise
would have found such unspeakable relief and
