WHAT OTHERS SAY.
The Words of Friends Are Genuine
and Reliable.

1t is easy for people to talk about them
selves and state what they may have done,
but it is far better to have other people
speak for you. The words which follow
are the frank expressions of people who
know CT what they speak.
Mr. John K. Chase. Amesbuiy, Mass,
says: Fer some six years past my wife
has been suffering from nervous prostra-
tion. For years she was troubled with in
somnia and nothing recommended by the
most eminent physicians would induce
sleep. Under the advice CT physicians she
recently tried Duffy's Malt Whiskey in
small quantities and with the most satis-
factory results. While Mrs. Chase has
always been stanch in her temperance
principles, and consistent in practice, she
has no hesitation in recommending to in
valids who need a gentle stimulant
Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey."
E. c. AviIa. of the Brooklyn association
for improving the condition of the poor,
says: Il have used Dufy's Malt
Whiskey for the past two years, having
suffered from severe headaches and nerv-
o2s prostration. i have been very much
relieved by the use of the whiskey and
have gained seventeen pounds in weight"
The above statements speak for them

FEARS OF A FLOOD.
The Mississippi Running High Be-
low New Orleans.

low New Orfc1ns.
New Orleans. April 23.-The high water
Is already beginning to make itself felt
in the Grand Prairie ieYee district south of
New Orleans. Information was received
here today that the Mississippi was run
ming freely over the leyee in front of the
Taboney plantation. fifty-fve miles below
New Orleans. a lot OF lumber and other
materials were sent there. The United
States engineers. however, express the
opinion that very little can be done there
to stop the water running over the ievees,
but say that il will do comparatively little
damage, as the same district was flooded
in 1897. Great fear is anticipated of dam
age 20 the Caravan leyee, thirteen miles
below New Orleans and on the line of the
plaquemine and st. Bernard parishes,
where a break would cause heavy losses.
The Federal Government began a new levee
there to cover the caying banks and had il
about half finished when the water became
tco high TO do the rest. The engineers
are now trying to prevent a crevasse by
building wings from the old levee.
