RAGING FLOODS.

ST. Louis, March 20.-Alarming reports
OF constant increase i'm the volume of

leVees hold back the flood by only few
inches margin, there will surely be dis
astrous breaks.
At Cairo, Ills, the rivers were only
10 feet below the high water mark of
1888. The levees around the large
drainage district north OF that city still
held, but were in danger. Should they
give way, Cairo would become an island,
with railroad tracks the only barriers
against the flood. The Cotton Belt
track to Birds Point was is inches above
the water yesterday.
In southeastern Missouri and north
ern Arkansas the country is overfiowed.
and many lives are reported lost. For
tunately the st. Francis river carries of
the surplus water, and, unless there is
a sudden rise, the worst is not feared.

place is reported TO have broken, and

levee is very great. All weak spots
are being strengthened, but the work
is handicapped by rain. as the earth
used is turned into mud Many families
living on the river bank in the county
| have abandoned their homes, and taken
refuge in Caruthersville.
A large amount OF stock has been lost
on the Tennessee side OF the river, the

IN L. But most of all, II cures.
Puritana brings food to
the starving.
1t brings drink to the perishing.
1t brings life to the dying.
When suffering people pay their
money they don't want a name or a
history.
rhey want the real thing.
They want cure.
Puritana is a cure.
TIE famous discoverer of Puritana,
Prof. Dixi Crosby, NJ. d., IL. D., was
for a. wears at the head of Dartmouth
medical college.
He has founded a new method of
common sense treatment, and has be-
come the most noted of all the great
Crosby physicians.
He has given the world the secret of
health.
He has shown the prime importance
of the human stomach.
All bodily power begins in the
stomach.
All relief and cure must start there.
DR.. Crosby believed that if he could
make the stomach right ne could make
The whole body right.
That is what Puritana does
Palpitation of the heart is a stomach
symptom.
Poor blood is stomach symptom.
Headache is Il stomach symptom.
Troubles of the liver and kidneys are
stomac h symptoms.
Puritana banishes all these symp-
toms.
1t strikes at the root of them all and
cures the stomach.
This is proven by thousands Of
witnesses.
Puritana has cured numberless cases
of chronic dyspepsia and indigestion
after every other remedy has failed.
Puritana has brought men and
women out of torture worse than death.
1t is doing it today.
Every day.
