AND URIC ACID OR RHEUMATIC CONDIT

The well-known American physician. DR.
]. NJ. S. Thomas. reports that Alkavis
promptly and effectively cured four we'll
marked cases OF Bright's disease among his
patients, and writes:
"I have fully tested the value OF the Kava- Kava
SHRUB in Kidney, Bladder and Urinary disorders as
vel AS in rheumatism and DropsicaI EfIus iuns with
the most remarkable and satisfactory success
In the short time that Alkavs, the Kava-
Kava Shrub compound, has been before the
American public, its cures Of various forms
Of kidney and bladder diseases, rheumatic
and gouty disorders, have been numbered by
the thousands. Alkavis has not been eXten-
slvcly advertised, through newspapers or
otherwise but has made It's way entirely on
its merits, and through the fact that every
sufferer can make free trial OF its wonder
fui curative powers, and judge Of Its value
from personal experience.
The President OF the Suffolk Hospital and
DispensIry, Boston, Mass, established under
the laws OF the State, writes Sept. IS, 1901,
rs follows:
"GeHpcmea:-As rule we arc unwilling 10 endorse
any preparation the formula Of which is not made
public IN the medical profession, but the use of

that objection has been overcome. Let say

should know OF the good accomplished by It's use.'
James Thomas, Esq, of the Board Of Re
view Bureau Of Pensions, Washington, D.
c., writes: Was cured Of a usually fatal
kidney trouble after many physicians had
failed and he had given up all hope Of re-
cOvcry. Hon. Z. C. Wood, a prominent at
torney of Lowell, Ind, was cured of chronic
rheumatism, kidney and bladder disease of
ten years standing by AlkGvis. Mr.. Wood
describes himself as being in constant
misery, often compelled TO Use ten times dur
ing the night on account of weakness OF the
bladder. He was treated by his home ply
siCians without the least benefit, but com
pletely cured in a few weeks by Alkavis.
Mr.. John Will, Muncie, Ind, writes: Was
told by two physicians, one being my SON
in-ldw, that neither he nor any other doc
tor could cure me, but nevertheless 'AlkayiS'
did the work.
Mr.. Alvin d. Lane, No. 50 Whitney St,
Auburn, Ne, had rheumatism bad Tor several
years, had to crutChes and could scaTcel get
around was completely cure aud is enjoying perfect
health. Mr. y thauicI Anderson, Of Greenwood =. -,
had hemorThages of the Kidneys, and physicians
told him his iAcuTaD, but Aikayis restored
him. Nr. John D. Means, of Shunlway, H., testiaes

Hundreds Of others give similar testimony.

well-known fact that they would watch
the ship sail from the harbor the follow
ing day escorted by new sweetheart.
Tommy, though a grumbler, has a hu-
mOrous side and a nickname for every
body. When he talks about "a terrible
breeze blowing" you may know that the
commanding officer is coming around the
following day. G. o. is the company Or
derby; "Old Man" is the commanding Of
ficer; two drill books on a shelf mean
going in for promotion" the guard
room" is the "chink:" roast beef, straight
statement" and church parade, divine
punishment" and so it goes on until there
is nothing left in the army to nickname.
The social life of the English officers
is unlike that in any other army. Of
duty the grades of rank disappear, and all
mingle on an equal footing. The mess"
system is conducive to this, for the un-
married officers live together and share
the same table, which is handsomely fur
nished, rich with trophies won, and wher-
ever stationed and under all conditions
they observe the forms Of well-bred so
ciety.
We have barely glanced at Tommy's
- nile m the army, but let
us hone that it has given better idea Of
him and his surroundings than was had
before.

By this time they had reached open
