NEW SHRUB THAT'S REMEDY.
A Sure Cure for Kidney Diseases and
rheumatism.

A Sure Cure for Kidney Diseases and
rheumatism.
It l.. no doubt true that next to con-
sumption, more people die yearly from
diseases of the kidneys than from any
other cause. In some respects Kidney
disease is the most dangerous OF all
maladies. because 1t usually has made
much progress before the victim is
aware OF its existence. 1t is. there
fore, With great pleasure we commend
TO our readers the recent discovery
In East India Of the Kava-kava shrub,
which has proved a most powerful
remedy for diseases Of the kidneys,
rheumatism, or other ailments caused
by uric acid in the blood. The cures
wrought by this new remedy are indeed
most remarkable. Many who have suff-
cred from the most severe forms of the
disease, have been completely cured in
from twenty to forty days by the
kava-Kava shrub. In the New York
Weekly World OF Sept. 10th, the testi-
mony of Rev. w. b. Moore, ID. D.. OF
Washington. d. c., was given, describ-
Ing his years of suffering from Kidney
disease and Rheumatism, and his rapid
cure by Alkavis. Rev. John H. Wat
son OF Sunset, Texas. minister Of the
gospel Of thirty years service. was
struck down at his post of duty by
Kidney disease. After lowering be-
tween life and death for two months,
and all his doctors having failed, lie
took Alkavis, and was completely re-
stored to health and strength ard Is
fulfilling his duties as minister OF the
gospel. Mr.. r. G. Wood, prominent
attorney of Lowell, Indiana, was cur
ed of Rheumatism, Kidney and Blad-
der disease of ten years standing by
Alkavis. Mr. Wood describes himself
as being in constant misery, often Com
PEELED to rise ten times during the
night on account of weakness OF the
bladder. He was treated by all his
home physicians without the least
benefit and finally completely cured in
a few weeks by Alkavis. The tcsti-
mony is undoubted and really wonder
full. Any of our readers who are so I'M
fortunate as to suffer from Kidney dis
orders or Rheumatism should write to
the Church Kidney Care Co., OF 422
Fourth avenue, New York, who will
gladly send them free by mail prepaid
a Large Case of the kaya-Kaya Com
pound. so that they can test its value
for themselves. This generous free Of
fer is made to prove the wonderful cur
alive powers Of this new botaEic dis
coyery.

The Fable OF Two Dogs.

well fed dog, wearing a collar and
blanket, once fell in with a tramp
canine in the park. Dear me-" said
the fat dog, but you are a sight. You
need upholstering badly. Your bones
project through your skin and out into
the ambient atmosphere. Why is this
thus?"
Il am often hungry and am seldom
bountifully fed" said the tramp dog.
land that is the reason my joints pro-
ject into the future like reporters
payday"
why do you not attach yourself to
some prosperous family said the fat
dog, land thus become sleek and fat,
like me-"
While they were speaking a dog
catcher came into view. The fat dog
soon had wire moose around his neck,
and he was unceremoniously thrown
into a wagon where there were other
unfortunate ours. The tramp dog, be-
ing unburdened with flesh. lodged be-
tween the passing bicycles and escaped.
Moral: The fat dogs mistress re-
deemed him from the pound, and that
fact destroys the moral.-Truth.
