PERMANENT CURE OF GRAVEL OF
TWELVE YEARS STANDING STONE
PASSED, AND TO BE SEEN.
BURNSIDE, Conn.,, December Is, 1869.
DEAR SIR-It is with much pleasure that
write you upon facts respecting myself. do
not know hardly how to express myself. l
have been for the last ten or twelve years the
greatest sufferer man could be and live, but
more sometimes than others. Tho complaint
was the ''Kidueys" and Bladder" l 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,
may say, by the quart, also liquored medl-
cines; but found no relief from any, and got
worse the last six months. I was 80 that 1
could scarcely get about. I could no. rest
night or day. 1t would soon have been "all
up" with me if had not seen your advertise
ment in the Berkshire Courier, headed "Kid-
neys." Tread it through, and thought would
try it. purchased bottle; but, mind you,
had not much faith in it. Why should /,
when I had been trying so many things and
cost me so much? Well, before had taken
the first bottle felt bad; but inshed 1t and
got another. BY the time l took half of tho
second still got worse (apparcntly.) When
walked it seemed as il my right kidney was
falling from it's place. and made up my mind
| it was no use trying any more. And all this
| time the "Buchu" was doing its work. but
did not know it; 80 gave it up, and went to
Hartford, on Saturday, to one of the best doc
tors in that city. He said it was the neck of
| the bladder, and should have to undergo an
operation. He gave me medicine, and went
| home quite down.hearted. On Sunday was
| unable to go to church. l had not taken of
his medicine, but on my return continued
using the "Buchu," and in the afternoon had
| desire to make water, but could not. About
ono hour after this l tried again, with the
same resuh; but.the next time took the ves-
| sol it was tue same as turning q faucet and
| stopping it off again. 1t was so for three
| times, aud tho third time there was some
thing camc through the passage and struck
| against the side of the vessel. | examined it,
| and it is the ugliest stone OF gravel you ever
saw, covered over with little pieces which col
! lected together. 1t looks the color of mud
turtle, and is as hard as flint. So you sec the
'Buchu" was doing its work, although I was
feeling so badly. procured another bottle,
thinking there might be some more behind;
but since that has passed, which is eight
weeks ago last Sunday, have been as well as
| ever was in my lifc l have the stone secure
ly wrapped, and those who have seen it in this
place are surprised. cannot tell you all; but
this is true story of my case and you arc
| welcome to make such use OF my name as y0u
think proper. l am pretty we'll known in
Berkshire; also in Connecticut. The advcr
tisement saved me. Why not publish more !?
The Springfield Republican is widespread pa
per. If any one wishes to see this wonder,
they can do 80. could write all day, but l think
