piper Hehystic,sn.) the peruvian bark,
made known by tho Indians to the early
Jesuit missionaries in South America, and
by them brought to civilized man. We have
previously quoted DR.. Archibald Hodgson,
the great authority on these diseases, in which
he describes the sufferings of both HiBdOos
and white missionaries and soldiers on these
low, marshy swamps and junElss on the
Gauges. He says:
Intense tropical heat and moisture acting upon
decaying vegetation renders these low grounds
the Gsnges most healthy districts Jungle levers
and miasma assail the system. The Blood
becomes deranged and the Urine thick and dark
oolores. Life hangs in The balance. Then.
when all modern medical science fails safety is
foand IN the prompt use of Kavs- Kava. decoe-
ton OF this wonderful botanical growth relieves
the Kidneys, the Urine becomes clearer, the fever
sbstes, aud recovery sets in. etc.
Our readers already know of the bringing
Of this wonderful shrub to Europe AID
America, and the success of the medicine
Alkavis, which contains the active principle
of the Kava-Kava Shrub, only in q much
more concentrated and powerful form. We
are glad to record the numerous extrasrdi-
nary cures wrought by this great discovery.
OF all the diseases that afflict mark ind, Bis
eases Of the Kidneys are the most fatal and
dangerous. aud this being the case, il is but ma
tural that the discovery of the Kava- Kava
Shrub, Natures Positive Specific Cure for Dis
eases Of the Kidneys, is welcomed as q gift to
suffering humanity, and Endorsed net only by
the public, but by the most eminent physicians,
both Of Europe and America. The fact that
Alkavis is sent free for trial to sufferers from
these diseases has had great eject in making
its remarkable benefits widely known. One
person when cured naturally tells another, and
SO sufferers every where are testifying to the
wonderful health restoring powers of this new
botanical product. In the New York Weeklg
World of Nov. 1st. the testimony of Rev. w. 3.
Moore. ID. d., of Washington, ID. C., was given,
describing his years of suffering from Kidney
disease and Rheumatism, and his rapid cure by
Alkavis. Rev. Thomas Smith, The Methodist
minister at Golden, Illinois, passed nearly one
hundred gravel stones after two weeks use of
Alksvis. Rev. John II. Watson, of Sunset,
Texas, a minister of the gospel of thirty years
service, was struck down at che post Of duty by
Kidney disease. After lowering between life
and death for two months, and all his doctors
having failed he took Alksyis, and was COM
pletely restored to health and strsng and is
fulfilling his duties as minister of the gospel.

EDrTOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: have iuss
finished reading Brother Wilson b. Stronx's
letter OF patriotism and inquiry; have long
waited such an inquiry as this. Why do nos
more veterans sons join the Order, think
can exp'sin it. in part at least, by simply ask
ing: Why did some join who are members nowf
believe our objects, our y-laus, and our rules
are plain enough that sveryOns who beeomssa
member should fully understand aud feel his
duty; yet there seem to be very many Who do
not
Brother Str0ug asks: "Wby Is it there ar,
dozens of men whose fathers were honorable.
faithful workers in the Federal army. who will
not join this Order?" Dear brother did you
ever stop to think Of q few reasons why they
would not? Our fathers when in the service
were faithful, loyal and true to their cause
They worked in harmony, they loved each
ether with a deep affection; they understood
Why they were there, and did faithfully their
duty.
Now, Brother Strong, you know, and so do r.
this feeling is by no means universal In eur
Order. | have in my mind now q number Of
Camps That are continually wrsuging not
only smeng their own members. but with other
Camps of their city or town. There came 10
my notice only last Summer two Camps In .
city Of this State, which was once q single
lamp. Oub which GiVided because some mem
bers, who were disgrace to their city, we're
continually in q dispute.
Now, Brother Strong, DO you. can you. won-
der why our noble and faithful veterans sons
will not join such an Order. when such are
given the benefits of our Society under F., @.
and LIZ Certainly. we have but a few Of snsh,
but We ought TO have none. There is room for
good, Christian. honorable and moral sons, Who
know how to be loyal and true, in our ranks;
who can fight with as in any and all battles fer
our country, our fathers and our honor, and
oar own and our bOthers' welfare, and We
should have such.
L heartily agree with our brothers who wish

US; We need your help; you will soon nssd
ours. Your last days, your memories, will DO
IN proportion to what you teach Us now
And now, brothers, there ~ one thipR
more / wish TO cali up. | am glad Do see
coming to our aid noble and so unselHsh
help as We can receive from the Ladies' Aid
Society. Let Us look upon them for what they
are. Let rs prove TO them we can be brothers
IN earnest. We need very much help that they,
and they alone, can give Us. Join with them
in all things possible. Give 10 them the praise
due them. Let them know We value their help

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: 1t had never
occurred to me that there was any particular
SistiBctiOn or honor in having been the young

ably proud.

that his comrades have selected him for their
