Destruction From Hail and Floods.
 The recent heavy rains and hail storms did great damage to the fruit and berry crops in Crawford and ad- joining counties. At Cove City hail literally stripped orchards of fruit and foliage. A million dollars will not cover the losses in Crawford county alone caused by the storms and high water. Hundreds of hitherto well-to-do farm CTS are left without anything, save the barren and tlood-swept soil wheron stood improvements representing the labor and accumulations of a life time. So rapid was the rise of the Ar kansas river that it was impossible for those living in the bottoms below Van Buren to save their stock, and thous- ands of head of horses hogs and cattle were drowned. Farmers on the river below Little Rock also suffered heavy losses, but the damage is not reported so great as in the northwest portion Of the state As soon as it was discovered that the danger line would be reached. a steamboat was sent down the river to warn the people that they might save as much of their property as possi- ble While thousands of acres already planted in corn and cotton are sub merged and the crops destroyed the knowledge that the rise was coming enabled most of those in danger to escape to the hills with their live stock and household effects.

 'You must file your application in the reg uar way with the officer in charge, replied the surgeon.

 Well, take off your coat and vest and let me listen to your heart the first thing"
 The examination was very short "Ah, said the surgeon, after he had lis- tened for a moment, "there isn't any use go- ing on in your ease. You'll never do. Why, yon might almost as well have no heart at all

A FRIENDS ADVICE.
And what it led to.

Ever since my recovery I nave taken a couple of bottles of Dr. Ayers Sarsapalilla each spring, ana am quite satisfied that l owe my good health 10 this treatment. give this testi- moniai purely in the hope that it may meet the eye of some poor sudercr-'- MARY LINGARD, Woodstock, Ont.
 pr. Ayers Sarsapatilla has won its way to every corner of the world by the praise of its friends; those who have tried il and who know they were cured by the use of the remedy. There is nothing so strong a this personal testim ony. It throws ali theories and fanCies to the winds and stands solidly upon the rock of expert ence challenging every skeptic with positive 'I kno,c." Ayers SaTsaparilIa with it's purifying and vitalizing action on the blood is a radical remedy for every form of disease that begins in tainted or impure blood Hence tumoTs. soTesv ulcers, boils, eruptions and similar dis eases yield promptly to this medicine Some cases are more stubborn than others but persistence with pr. Ayers Sarsapa-. Mary Lingard began with bottle, and went on to a course of Dr. Ayers SarsaPa- rilla. When she was cured she realized that medicine that could cure disease could also prevent 1t. So she took a couple of bottles each spring and kept in perfect health. There are th ousands of similar cases on record. Some of these are gathered into pr. Ayers Curebook, a little book of 100 pages which is sent free by the J. (. Aver Co, Lowell, Mass. Write toI It.

IL Is not a common occurrence that a friendly word should be the means of giv- ing nearly forty years of happiness and health to the person needing the advice t carried This was the case with Mary Lingard. At twenty-five she was dragging out her days in misery. At sixty-one she finds herself so active and strong she can do work that would shame many younger woman, and looks back on thirty-six happy healthfu1 years of industry. But let her tell her story:
 "Thirty-six years ago had great trouble with my liver. The doctors allowed that there were tumors growing on it, and they blistered my side in an effort to give me relief. I was at that time earning my living as a tailoress, but for five years, between the pain in my side and the blisters 1 was in constant misery, and work was a drag to me, with no prospect of relief; fortunately for me, however, a friend advised me to take Dr. Ayers Sat saparilla, and finally persuaded me to take a regular course of 1t. When I first com nenced taking the Sarsaparilla my side was so painful that could not fasten my dress, and for a time I did not get any relief, but my friend advised me to per severe and relief was sure to come, and come 1t did. This happened, as l say, thirty-six years ago. My liver has never troubled me since, and during these years l have passed through the most critical period of a woman's life without any par ticular trouble, and today, at sixty-one years of age, am active and strong, and able to do days work that would upset
