the flood-gates of her eloquence and

She started in Just as soon as we left

articulate faster than Russell Sage

to outtalk her long ago. We knew
there was nobody that stood any

THE kAvA-kAvA SHRUB ana pfoDaDiy was
(Piper Aethy'iieam.) used for centuries
by the natives before its extraordinary
properties became known to civilization
through Christian missionaries. In
this respect it resembles the discovery
of quinine from the peruvian bark,
made known by the Indians to the early
Jesuit missionaries in South America
and by them brought to civilized man.
1t is a wonderful discovery, with rec.
ord of 1900 hospital cures in 80 days. II

neys,. and is true specific, just as qui.

years standing, by Alkavis. MI. Wood describes
himself as being in constant misery, often com
pelled 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
few weeks by Alkavis. The testimony is un'
doubted and really wonderful ME- 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 and restored
to health. Many other ladies also testify to the
wonderful curative powers of Alkavis In the
various disorders peculiar to womanhood.
So far the Church Kidney Cure Com
pany, No. 477 Fourth Avenue, New
York, are the only importers of this
new remedy, and they are so anxious to
prove its value that for the sake of intro
duction they will send free treatment
of Alkavis prepaid by mail to every
reader of this paper who is a Sufferer
from any form of Kidney or Bladder
disorder, Bright's Disease, Rheuma-
