Strange New Shrub that Cures Kidney and
Bladder Diseases, Rheumatism, etc.-Free.
We have previously described the new boz
tanic discovery, Alkavis, which proves spe-
eifc cure for diseases caused by Uric acid in the
blood or disorder Of the Kidneys or urinary
organs 1t is new stated that Alkavis is q
product of the welltknown Kaya-Kava Shrub,
and is o specific cure for these diseases just as
quinine is for malaria. Hon. L. G. Wood of
Lowell, Ind, writes-4hatin four weeks Alkavis
cured him of Kidney and bladder disease of ten
years. standing, and Rev. Thomas M. Owen, of
West Pawet, VT, gives similar testimony.
Many ladies also testify to its wonderful cura.
tive powers in disorders peculiar to woman
hood. The only importers of Alkavis SO far
are the Church Kidney Cure Co., of 418 Fourth
Avenue, New York, and they are so anxious to
prc-e its value that for the sake of introduc.
ton they will send a free treatment of Aka
Wis prepaid by mail to every reader of The
NATIONAL TRIBUNE who is Sufferer from
| any form of Kidney or Bladder disorder,
Brghts Disease, Rheumatism, Dropsy, Gravel,
Pain in Back, Female Complaints, or other
affection due to improper action of the Kid
neys or Urinary Organs. We advise all Suf-
ferers to send their names and address to the
| company and receive the Alkavis free. 1t is
| sent to you entirely free, to prove its wonder

The 142d n. Y.

Although not organized until the Fall of
1862, the 142d n. Y. saw more hard service
than many of the regiments which took the
field earlier in the war, and earned for itself
the distinction of being one of the 800 fight
ing regiments given by Col. Fox. Its total
enrolment was /, $40. 1t lost three officers
and 1876 men killed or MORALLY wounded, or
nearly 9.5 per cent. Besides these it lost
two officers and ISL men by disease, acct
dent, in prison, etc. The 142d N. Y. was
recruited in the Seventeenth Senatorial Dis
trict of New York State by Roscius w. judi
son, and was organized at Ogdensburg, and
there mustered into the United States serv-
ice for three years Sept. 90, 1852. The regi-
ment left the State Oct s, 1852, under COM
mand Of Col. Judson, and was assigned to
the defenses of Washington. It served in
the Third Brigade, Abercrombie's Division
Twenty-second Corps, from February, 1868 !;
in the Third Brigade, Gurney's Division,
Department of Virginia, at Suffolk, from
April, 1862 in the First Brigade, Gora0n's

from which it was discharged June 1S, 1866,
at Raleigh, N. C. Col. Rsscius w. Judson
resigned, Jan. q, 1858, and was succeeded by
Col. Newton M. Curtis. Col. Curtis csm-
manded the brigade at the assault on Fort
Fisher, Jan. 15 1865 While directing the
movements Of reinforcements, after having
captured part of the works, Col GUSTS was
wounded. 1t was thought that he could
live but very short time, and in recegni-
ton of his gallant services on this occasion
the Secretary Of War ISSUED a commission
making him Brigadier- General of Volun-
teers. At the time Of muster-out Col Albert
M. Barney was in command Col. Barney

The Fortunea on Aetor.

Tho late James Lewis Is said 20 have
Gita very much sn all r estate tim
Ac was supposed 20 possess. While he
had never taken the stars share OF the
profits which the manager made. and
had remained always a member Of q
stock company. he had FOR years
drawn n large salary, and was possibly
one Of the best paid actors In the pro.
fession. Besides. he was man OF
rather simple life and fiugal habits.
and be was chlldless. So there has
been some surprise expressed AZ the
fact that his estate Is said 70 be under
$4,000. Of which n part comes from
his life insurance. Tie wealth OF
actors Is @ question about which II "a

The yearbook OF the department Of
agriculture for 1894 has this 20 say Of
the adulieration Of farm and garden
seeds.
As illustrating the possibility Of tho
introduction OF foreign weeds through
SCed. II might be stated that Of the
common garden and forage plants,
such as alfalfa. beet. bOrage. broccoli,
Brussels sprouts. caullaower. ehleory,
cross. ondiv ll-rabl, radlsh. satisfy.
spinach. an. .urnip. the seeds are
grown abroad. as are also the seeds
Of many OF our grasses. such as crested
dogs tail. sleeps iescue. meadow fox
tail. perennial rye grass and sweet YER
nal grass. OF the following vegetables
about one-haii OF tho seeds are TN
ported: Carrot. oggI mt. leok. onion.
parsley. parsnip and pepper. In the
following cases a large portion. though
perhaps not one-half. Of the seeds are
foreign grown: Cabbage. celery. cher
vii. kale and lettuce.
on course, the same cause operates
within the limits OF this country. for
oign plants. when once introduced. be-
ing disseminated In impure seed. Thus
the prickly lettuce Is spread In clover
seed. and the Russian thistle TO some
extent In cats. FAX and alfalfa. Our
native weeds are distributed to a great
CT or less extent In the same manner.

Proper brush and How 10 Uso n.
Through cleansing is the only

dentist not long ago.
He then went on TO explain the
proper brush TO be used and the diree-
ton in which the teeth should be
brushed. The brush he produced
flcped almost to a point at the end.
This Is intended 70 reach back 70 the

Subsequently he explained that SILK
thread waxed should be used between
the teeth which have spaces between
them.
In the matter OF dentrifce and pow
dors. there are many kinds. good and
harmless. The greatest care should Be
taken 10 rinse The mouth thoroughly
after using any powder or lotion.
