The relative merit and efficiency of
Paines Celery Compound, in comparison
with all other remedies for making people
well, is clearly shown In the intelligent
character and responsible standing of the
people who today rely on 1t to cure in
somnia, nervous debility, persistent head
aches and a rundown condition.
Its power of rapidly repairing the tissues
and cleansing the blood makes Paine's
Celery Compound the great saver of life
that it is. It brings just the needed nutri-
ment to the weakened nerve tissues all
over the body, and increases the volume of
healthy blood, so that a breakdown Of
some vital part Is aVerted.
TIL story of the discovery and unparal-
leled success of Paine's Celery Compound
Is the story of a high purpose steadfasHy
followed, the final work of the lifelong
study of the nervous system in health and
disease by Prof, Edward E. Phelps M.
D., LII. D., Of the Dartmouth medical fac
ulty.
In this greatest of all remedies there is
hope for every person distressed by syrnn-
toms of dyspepsia, impure blood, failing
vigor or low nervous condition.

OHIO RAMPANT
The River With it's Tributaries
Swollen by Floods.
Railway Traffic Almost Suspended in the
Buckeye state-Levees Broken at
Columbus.

Cincinnati, o., March pa food is
filling the banks Of the OHIO river, a
peculiar feature of which is that from
Wheeling to Cairo, no tributary on the
left bank of the river makes the Slight
est contribution to the great freshet, Had
the pour of waters from streams on the
left bank been equal to that of those
on the right, the flood would have
equaled that of 1884 perhaps surpassed
It.
There has been a steady rain here
since last Saturday, during which time
2.6 inches of water have fallen, of which
four-fifths of an inch has fallen in the
last "a hours. Reports from central
points in Indiana, Troy, Urbana,
Springfield and GAINESVILLE, O., indicate
a fall Of from 31a 10 Az inches at those
places, with one-half this precipitation
within the last 36 hours. Nearly all
railroads in central and southern OHIO
are either crippled or totally disabled
for the present. This is because of
washouts, dangerous and destroyed
bridges and the like. All over Ohio and
Indiana, except, perhaps, in the extreme
northern parts, railroad traffic is de-
moralized.
The Muskingum, the Hooking, the
two Miami rivers in Ohio seem likely TO
break the record from source to mouth
for high stages of water, and for dam
age and destruction. Reports from In
diana indicate that the same may be
said of rivers and streams in that state.
Tonight at Cincinnati, with the mercury
at 45, a drizzling rain is falling, andthe
clouds are threatening. The gage of the
river at o'clock tonight was At feet
and inches, a rise of inches in the
last three hours. 1T will be over so feet
by daylight and without further rain
probably will reach SO feet.
Columbus O., March 2S.-0nly two
of fifteen roads here could move
trains out of the city today.
The levees on the west side of the
city are submerged and broken in many
places. Water flows where it had not
gone, perhaps, in 40 years.
Fully 1900 persons have been driven
from the lower floors of their dwellings.
Indianapolis, Ind, March 23.-White
river, Big Eagle and Fall Creek are out
of their banks, and hundreds of acres
of lowlands are overflowed, and many
families have been driven from their
homes. Several bridges are reported
washed away The railroads are suffer-
ing as a result of flooded roadbeds.
Nearly all trains are late, while others
have been abandoned.
Steubenville, Ohio, March 23.-The
Ohio river has risen to higher stage
here tonight than at any time since
1884 The mark shows 40 feet, and five
more feet is expected. Many families
have abandoned their homes.
