has yet been discovered; but, as at least
four-fifths of human diseases have their
source in Impure Blood, medicine
which restores that fluid from a de-
PRAYED to healthy condition comes as
near being universal cure as any that
can be produced. Ayers Sarsaparilla
affects the blood in each stage of its
formation, and is, therefore, adapted TO
greater variety of complaints than any
other known medicine.

WHEN we have our sugar refinery,
when we have enlarged ourselves by
twenty-five square miles; and when
we are illuminated with electric
lights, our proximity to Baltimore
makes US shudder for our safety.
Baltimore, when she sees our
value thus enhanced, will surely
have designs upon US and want to
encircle as with her Belt.

BoiIs and CarbunCIes,

which defy ordinary treatment, yield to
Ayers Sarsaparilla after a comparative
ly brief trial.
Mr.. G. X. Murray, Of Charlottesville,
Va, writes that for years he was af-
flicted with boils which caused him
much suffering. These were succeeded
by carbuncles, of which he had several
at one time. He<then began the use OF
Ayers Sarsaparilla, and after taking
three bottles, the carbuncles disap-
peared, and for six years he has not had
even pimple.
That insidious disease, Scrofnla, is
the fruitful cause of innumerable COM
many equally fatal. Eruptions, ulcers,
sore eyes, glandular swellings, weak
and wasted muscles, capricious appe-
tite, and the like, are pretty sure indi-
cations Of q scrofulous faint in the
system. Many otherwise beautiful faces
are disfgured by pimples, eruptions,
and unsightly blotches, which arise
from impure blood, showing the need of
Ayers Sarsaparilla to remedy the evil.
All sufferers from blood disorders
should give Ayers Sarsaparilla a fair
trial, - avoiding all powders, ointments,
and washes, and especially cheap and
worthless compounds, which not only
fail to effect cure, but more frequently
aggravate and confirm the diseases they
are fraudulently advertised to remedy.

TERRIBLE FLOODS.

The Mississippi ON . Rampsgs-A Dan
Washed Out and Much Damage Done.
DAVENPORT. Iowa. May l3.-Ths Mis-
sissippi River ct this point has been above
the danger line for four days and is rising
ell the time. The stage at o'clock last
evening was seventeen feet eight-tsnths.
rise of thirteen inches In twenty-four hours.
The stage named Is about thirty-three in
ches above the danger line, and within
nine inches of the highest mark recorded,
which was June 20. 1880. Friday families
living along the levse in Davenport and
also in Rock Island and Moline. across the
river, began moving TO the higher grounds.
Yesterday afternoon but one of the nine
sawmills in the three cities could run on
account of the foods, and business along
the river front was generally suspended.
But the damage done. aside from throwing
1000 men out of work, would amount TO
but few thousand dollars. A low esti-
mate fixes the loss incurred at more than
$500. 600. The grester part of the ruin was
wrought within fifteen minutes. though 1t
now promises TO be continued for days.
The river showed a sudden rise Friday Of
eight inches at Davenport and Rock Island
that three miles above. This was caused
by the washing out of 500 feet of the water
power dam connecting the island of Rock
Island. on which is located the National
Armory and Arsenal. with the Illinois side.
This dam Was built in 1874 at q cost OF
more than 100000. 1t was composed of
solid blocks of Nauvoo stone. and was
thirty-three feet high and twelve feet
thick. 1t was sustained on the
lower side by great buttresses ct in
tervals of fifty feet. The difference
in the water level above and below the dam
was seven feet. The break occurred in q
fash. hurting a column of water 500 feet
wide by twenty-fonr feet in depth through
the pool below with tremendous power.
Lumber logs. small steamboat, q fstboet,
end dozen pleasure boats were jammed
together and carried down by the rushing
current. A mile below the broken dam is
the sawmill of the Rock Island Lumber
Company, in whose boom were over ,000.-
feet of logs. These were torn from
their fastenings, seven brails in one
place. and swung against the piers of the
with the island. The piers separated the
connected logs. and they were carried into
the main channel of the Mississippi and
beyond recovery. The Mississippi river
now divide. at the head of the island of
Rock Island, and a current of ten miles an
hour carries the water downward, endan-
gering bridges, mills. and business blocks.
Special dispatches tonight report q rising
river at Dubuque and st. Paul. rise here
of another foot will put large part of the
CITY OF Rock Island under water, and inter-
fere with railroad travel on both sides of
the river.
