THE KAyA.KAV SHRUB and probably was
(Piper .Methysttcum.) used for centurieo
by the natives before its extraordinary
properties became known 10 civilization
through Christian missionaries. In
this respect it resembles the discovery
of a~uinine 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 q wonderful discovery, with a rec
ord of 1900 hospital cures in 80 days. IL
acts directly upon the blood and KID
reys, aud is a true specific, just as qu;'
nine is in malaria. We have the strong
est testimony Of many ministers OF the
gospel, well known doctors and business
men cured by Alkavis, when all other
remedies had failed.
the testimony of Rev. w. B. Moore, ID; d., OF
Washington, ID. c. was given, describing MS
years OF suffering from Kidney disease ana
Rev. Thomas Smith, the Methodist minister at
Golden, Illinois, passed nearly one hundred
gravel stones after two weeks use of Alkavis.

minister of the gospel. MFR. x. c. Wood, a prom.
inent attorney of Lowell, Indiana, was cured OF
Rheumatism, Kidney and Bladder disease OF ten
wears standing, by Alkavis. Mr.. 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 a
few weeks by Alkavis. The testimony is UNI
doubted and really wonderful. Mrs. James
Young, Of Kent, Ohio. writes that she had tried
six doctors in vain, that she was about to give
mn In despair, when she found Alkavis and was
promptly cured of kidney disease and restored
10 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 Cur Com
pany, No. 40 Fourth. Avenue, New
York, are the only importers of this
new remedy, and they are so anxious to
prove it's value that for the sake of intro
duction they will send a 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-
tism, Dropsy, Gravel, Pain In Back,
Female Complaints, or other affection
due to improper action of the Kidneys
or Urinary Organs. We advise all Suf-
erers to send their names and address
to the company, and receive the Alkavis
free. It is sent to you entirely free, to
prove its wonderful curative powers.

finds pleasure in spending part of his
great wealth in improving his country
seat, lockwood" in the Pocantico hills.
Last year he expended at least 500, 600 in
alterations TO his old manor house and in
landscape gardening. Fifteen feet of solid
rock was cut off the top of the "kyknit'
hill, and excavations made for the site OF
a million dollar country house, which, 1t
was announced, he intended to build. The
~eXcavating alone cost $4,000. Suddenly
Mr.. Rockefeller changed his mind and the
whole eXcavated ground was filled and
sodded. A high observation tower which
had been torn down to make room for the
site was rebuilt. Then Mr.. Purdy, a
Tarrytown architect, was employed to
prepare plans for charging and beautify-
Ing the lockwood" residence. Alterations
were again made for the fourth time last
fall.
Now the oil king Is amusing himself by
having another addition, costing $4,000,
and consisting of a kitchen, dining room
and a number of bedrooms, built on the
rear of his mansion. He also rave orders

cred eight feet more. The carriage house
Is to be moved to the eastward, a distance
of perhaps 400 yards.
A driveway is being built from John
Rockefeller's place 10 his brother Will
Jams home, several miles away. 1t is the
intention of both millionaires to lay out
their property in one magnificent park,
far exceeding anything of It's kind in this
country.
