AFREE GIFT OF GREAT VALUE TO YOU
| A short time ago our readers were made
aware of valuable new botanical discovery,
/ that Of the Kava-Kava Shrub, or as botanists
call il, piper methysticum found on the banks
of the Ganges river in East India. From a.
medical standpoint this is perhaps the most
important discovery of the century. The use
of the Kava- Kava Shrub, like other valuable
/ medical substances, opium and guinine, was
first observed by Christian missionaries
remedy for Kidney diseases. Speaking Of
the use of the Kava-Kava Shrub by the
natives of India, Dr. Archibald HodgsOn, the
great authority on these diseases, says:
Intense heat and moisture of this tropical
climate acting upon the decaying vegetation
renders these low grounds on the Ganges the
most unhealthy districts found anywhere
Jungle levers and miasma assail the SYSTEM and
even the most robust constitutions yield to the
deadly climatic Influences. The Blood becomes
deranged and the Urine is thick and dark-col-
ored and loaded with the products Of diseases
which the Kidneys are vainly endeavoriug TO
ezcrete from the system. Under these conditions
the other organs become affected, and life hangs
in the balance. Then when all the remedies Of
modern medical science fail, the only hope and
harbor Of safety are found in the prompt use OF
Kava Kava Shrub. A decoction of this wonder-
ful botanical growth relieves the Kidneys and
enables them to carry off the diseased prod ets
from the Blood. The Urine becomes clearer,
the fever abates, and the intense suffering and
nausea are alleviated. Recovery sets in, and
the patient slowly returns to health"
Of all the diseases that affiict mankind, Dis
eases of the Kidneys are the most fatal and
dangerous. and this being the case. it is but
natural that the discovery of the Kaga- Kava
Shrub-Nature's Positive Specific Cure for Dis
eases Of the Kidneys-is welcomed as a gift to
suffering humanity.
Alkavis, which is the medical compound Of
the Kava- Kava Shrub, is Endorsed by the Hos
pitfalls and Physicians Of Europe as a sure Specific
Cure for Kidney and Bladder Diseases, Diabetes,
Brights Disease Brick Dust deposits, Rheuma-
tism. Liver Diseases. Female Complaints pain
in back, and all diseases caused by impurities Of
the Blood due to defective action of the Kidneys.
Rev. w. B. Moore, d. d., of Washington, ID.
c., Editor of the Religious World" writes
of the wonderful curative effects of Alkavis:
For several years was a sufferer from Kid
ney troubles, and could obtain no relief from
physicians. ] used various Kidney remedies,
but with no success / had given up all hopes
of ever recovering my health. until, hearing Of
the marvellous cures effected by your Alkavis,
decided to try same. After using the first bot
tie began to experience relief, and following
mp the treatment was permanently cured.

to persons afflicted with Kidney and Rheumatic
disorders as the best remedy known"
Mrs. James Young, of Kent, Ohio, writes
that she had tried six doctors in vain; that
she was about to give up in despair, when
she found Alkayis, and was promptly cured
of Kidney disease and restored to health.
Mrs. Alice Evans, of Baltimore, Md; Mrs.
Mary A. Layman, of Neel, West Va, twenty
years sufferer; Mrs. Sarah Vunk, Edinboro,
Pa; Mrs. L. f. Copeland, Elk River, Mimi;
and many other ladies join in testifying to
the wonderful curative powers of AIkavis, in
various forms of Kidney and allied diseases,
and of other troublesome Affections peculiar
to wOmanhoOd. In such cases of disorders
peculiar to women we do not care to publish
testimonials at large, but ladies interested
therein can obtain full information from
descri ptive book which is furnished free by
the importers of AIkavis. IT, good results
of using this new botanical discovery in such
cases are indeed most remarkable.
DIR. A. r. Knapp, a well-known surgeon
and physician of Leoti, Kansas, voices the
opinion of the doctors, and writes:
"The case ordered Alkavis for has improved
wonderfully. l believe you have in Alksvis
complete specific for all Kidney troubles"
Mr.. 4. G. Wood, prominent attorney of
Lowell, Indiana was cured by AlkaYis of
Kidney and Bladder trouble OF

And even more wonderful is the testimony
of Rev. John III. Watson, of Sunset, Texas, %
minister of the gospel, in thirty years service,
stricken down at his post of duty by Kidney
disease. He says:
