A FREE GIFT OF GREAT VALUE TO YOU.
A short time ago our readers were made
| aware of valuable new botanical discovery,
| that of the Kaya-Kava Shrub, or as botanists
call it, piper methysficun, 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-Ka Shrub like other valuable
| medical substances, opium and quinine, was
first observed by Christian missionaries
| among the natives of India as a sovereign
remedy for Kidney diseases. Speaking Of
the use of the Kava-Kava Shrub by the
natives of India DIR. 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 fevers and miasma assail the system, and
even the most robust constitutions yield to the
deadly climatic Influences. The Blood becomes
derauged and the Urine is thick and dark-col-
ored and loaded with the products of disease,
which the Kidneys are vainly endeavoring to
excrete 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
barbOr Of safety are found in the prompt use of
Kava- Ksva Shrub. A decoction of this wonder
full botanical growth relieves the Kidneys and
enables them to carry off the diseased products
from tho Blood. The Urine becomes clearer
the fever abates, and the intense suffering and
nausea are allevisted. 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 Kaya-Kava
Shrub-Nature's Positive Specific Cure for Dis
eases Of the Kidneys-is welcomed as 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 sure Specific
Cure for Kidney and Bladder Diseases Diabetes.

Rev. w. B. Moore, of Washington, ID. c.,
Editor of the Religious World" writes of
the wonderful curative effects OF Alkayis:
"For several years was a sufferer from Kid
ney troubles and could obtain no relief from
physicians. I 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
up the treatment was permanently cured. l
cheerfully recommend your excellent Alkavis
to persons Athlete with Kidney and Rheumatic
disorders as tie 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 Alkavis, and was promptly cured
of Kidney disease, aud restored to health.
Mrs. Alice Evans, of Baltimore. Md; Mrs.
Mary A. Lay man, of Neel, West Va, twenty
years a 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 Alkavis, in
various forms of Kidney and allied diseases,
and of other troublesome Affections peculiar
to womanhOOd.
DR.. A. r. Knapp, well-known surgeon
and physician of Leoti, Kansas, voices the
opinion of the doctors, and writes:
"The case ordered Alkavis for has improved |
wonderfully. / believe you have in Alkavis q |
complete specific for all kidney troubles"
Mr.. X. G.. Wood, a prominent attorney of |
Lowell, Indiana, was cured by Alkayis of !
rheumatism, Kidney and Bladder trouble of |
ten years. standing. He writes:
Il have been treated by all our home physi- |
clans without the least benefit. My bladder |
trouble became so troublesome that had to get |
up from five to twelve times during the night |
to urinate In fact, was in misery the whole |
time and was becoming very despondent. -
have now used Alkavis, and am better than /
have been for five years. l know Alkayis will
cure bladder and kidney trouble. - 1t is
a wonderful and grand, good remedy"
And even more wonderful is the testimony
of Rev. John III. Watson, of Sunset, Texas, a
minister ofthe gospel, in thirty years. service,
stricken down at his post of duty by Kidney
disease. He says:
81 was suddenly stricken down on the 22d
of June with an acute attack of kidney trouble
(uric acid gravel). For two months lay hover
ing on the border line of life, and with the con-
slant care of two excellent physicians, only
received temporary relief. My family physi-
clan told me plainly the best / could hope for
was temporary respite. / might rally only to
collapse suddenly, or might linger some time.
But the issue was made up, and as had for
years warned others to be ready, SO now more
han ever must needs put my house in order
and expect the end. Meantime had heard of
Alkavis, and wrote to an army comrade (now
principal of a college) who had tried it, He ,
wrote by all means to try it, as it had made
new man OF him. At the end of two mouths, |
md then only able TO sit up little, dismissed
my physicians and began the use of Alkavis. In
TWO weeks | could ride out in the carriage for a
short time. The improvement has been
constant and steady. | am now able to look
after my business. I feel owe what life and
strength have to Alkavis. > l. am fifty-fve
years old, have been min lister over thirty years
nave thousands of acquantances, and TO every
me of them who may be afflicted with any kind
If kidney trouble, would say, try Alkavis."
Another most remarkable cure is that of
Rev. Thomas Smith, of Cobden Illinois, who
passed nearly zone hundred gravel stones under
wO weeks use of this great remedy, Alkavis. !
