Our reader* will be glad to know that the new botanical discovery, Alkavia, from the wonderful Kava-Kava shrub has proved an assured care for all dis-

eases caused by Uric acid in the blood, or by disordered action of the Kidneys or urinary organa. The Kava Kava Shrub, or as botanists rail It. Piper Methysticum, grows on the banksof the Gauges river, East India,

TheKava-Kava Shrcb and probably was (Piper Methytticvm.) 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 tfae early Jesuit missionaries in South America, and by them brought to civilized man. It is a wonderful diacoveij, with a record of uoo hospital cures in 30 days. It acts directly upon the blood and kidneys, and is a true specific, just aa quinine is in malaria. We have the strongest testimony of many ministers of the gospel, well known doctors and business men cured by Alkavis, when all other remedies bad failed. In the New York Weekly World of Sept. 10th, the testimony of Rev. W. B. Moore, D. D., of Washington, D. C. was given, describing hit rears of suffering from Kidney disease and kheumatlam. and hia rapid cure by Alkavis. Rev. Thomas Smith, the Methodist minister at Cobden, Illinois, pasted nearly one hundred gravel atones after two weeks' use of Alkavis. Rev. John H.Watson, of tiunset.Texas, a minister of the gospel of thirty years' service, waa struck down at hia oott of duty by Kidney disease. After hovering between life and death for two months, and ail his doctors having failed, he took Alkavia, and waa completely restored to health and strength, and is fu Idling hia duties as minister of the gospel. Mr. R.C. Wood, a prominent attorney of Lowell, Indiana, waa cured of Rheumatism, Kidney ana Bladder disease of ten years standing, by Alkavia. Mr. Wood describes himself as being in constant misery, often compelled 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 Alkavia. The testimony ia undoubted and really wonderful. Mrs. James Young, of Kent, Ohio, writes that she had tried tlx doctors in vain, that she was about to give up in despair, when »he found Alkavis and was promptly cured of kidney disease aud restored lo health. Many other ladtes also testify to the Wonderful curative powers of Alkavia in the Various disorder* peculiar to womanhood. So far the Church Kidney Cure Company, No. 410 Fourth.
