A Sure Cure for Kidney Diseases and
Rheumatism.

A Sure Cure for Kidney Diseases and
Rbeumatisnr.
II is 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 IL usually has made
much progress before the victim Is
aware OF it's existence. 1t Is. there
fore. with great pleasure We commend
to our readers the recent discovery
in East India OF the Kaya-Kav shrub,
which has proved 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, ID. c., was given, describ-
ing his years OF suffering from Kidney
disease and Rheumatism, and his rapid
cure by Alkavis. Rev. John Fl. Wat
son of Sunset, Texas, a 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, he
took Alkavis, and was completely re-
stored to health and strength and Is
fulfilling his duties as minister OF the
gospel. Mr.. r. G.. Wood, a 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
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 Cure Co.. of 422
Fourth avenue, New York. who will
gladly send them free by mail prepaid

pound. so that they can test it's value
for themselves. This generous free Of

alive powers of this new botanic dis

Precious stones Fade.

The powerful chemical effects of the
sun are felt even by precious stones.
The ruby, sapphire and emerald suffer
less than other colored stones in this
respect, but 1t has been shown by
experiment that ruby lying in shop
window for two years became much
lighter in tint than its mate kept in
a dark place during that period. Gar
nets and topazes are more easily af-
fected. Pearls are said to show de-
terioration with age, but II they are not
worn constantly they will recuperate
wonderfully during brief vacations
spent In quiet and darkness. The only
species of unluck which the practical
person believes the opal win bring to

pally of silicic acid. with small pro-
