Thousands fastened to their Graves!

Relying on testimonials written in vivid
cures made by some largely pulled up doc
tor or patent medicine has fastened thous-
ands to their graves; believing in their AL
most insane faith that the same miracle
will DE performed on them, and that these
testimonials make the cures, while the So
called medicine Is all the time fastening
them to their graves. We have avoided
publishing testimonials, as they do not
make the cures, although we have
THOUSANDS UPON THOUSANDS
Of them, one of the most wonderful cures,
voluntarily sent us. 1t is our medicine,
Hop Bltters that makes the cures. 1t has
never failed and never can. We will give
reference to any tor any disease similar to
their own if desired, or will refer to any
neighborhood in the known world but can
show its cures by Hop Bitters.
LOSING JOKE.
A prominent physician of Pttsburg said
to a lady patient who was complaining of
her continued i'll health, and of his inabil-
ty to cure her, jokingly said: "Try Hop
Bitters" The lady took it in earnest and
used the Bitters, from which she obtained
permanent health. She now laughs at the
doctor for his joke, but he is not so well
pleased with it, as it cost him good pa
tent.
FEES OF Doctors.
The fees of doctors is an item that very
many persons are interested in We be-
lieve the schedule for visits is $500, which
would tax a man copfn-d to his bed for
year, and in need Of daily visit, over
$1,000 year for medical attendant alone
And one bottle of Hop Btters taken in time
would save the ST. 900 and all the years

the Chippewa River was rising 6 inches an
hour. The Eau Claire River was l6 feet
above low water mark and was still rising.
A score of families are moved nut of their
houses, in some of which there was four feet
of water. The Phoenix manufacturing COM
pany's building was partially under water.
CHIPPEWA FALLS, Sept. IL.
At Chippewa Fails the most disastrous
flood ever known in that section is reported.
The Chippewa River has risen 20 feet since
Tuesday night at II and is still growing high
er at the rate of foot per hour. Three
railroad bridges are in great danger and
wagon bridge is hourly expected to go. All
of the upper dams on Duncan creek which
passes through the town are destroyed.

Chippewa Falls at one O'Clock yesterday
afternoon and swept away every bridge, five
in number, together with large number of
buildings including Kehers planning mill,
Calling's feed store, Stiles Lego & Bailey's
livery stables and Stumm Weiner's agri-
cultural buildings. The loss in the city so

The latest reports from the flooded districts
of Wisconsin indicate that the waters are re-
ceding at Chippewa Falls but rising at Eau

Both the Chippewa and Eau Claire rivers
began falling at noon, after reaching feet
higher than the great food of 1880.
Every bridge on the Chippewa river has
gone down. railroad bridges and wagon
bridges. In this city the loss of property is
appalling and no satisfactory estimate can be
given at this time. In and between Chippewa
Falls and Eau Claire the loss will not fall
far short of 81 800, 900 and may greatly ex
ceed that sum. Eau ClaiIe Gas COMPANY
lost $50 tons of coal and all the buildings.
The business houses on all sides of the two
rivers are submerged and great apprehension
is feet that when the water recedes the toun-
dations may be so much impaired as to cause
the walls to crumble.
In this city over 200 houses were swept
away and only one life lost.
The Chippewa has fallen three feet since
noon, and nearly 400 dwellings have been
swept away or wrecked and 2000 people are
depending on neighbors who live on higher
ground, for shelter and food Tonight, a
relief committee was organized. and hun
dreds of people are being fed in the court
