It has rained almost constantly all day and if the rains are general over the watershed of the river there is likely to be a spring freshet which will do great damage The biggest freshet in the his tory of this section occurred in April, the highest mark being reached by the water on the 26th day of that month in the year 1886.

YOU CAN GET WELL Without Risking a Penny
Won't You Merely Ask for My Book?

l have written these books after life times experience to tell you my way or curing chronic diseases.
 I have tested my method by thousands of bedsides in hospitals and homes. It &C., cornplishes what no otherS treatment can do. It is so sure that in any case, no matter how difficult, I take the entire risk.
 No money is wanted Merely write me postal for the book.
 I will send with it and order on your druggist for six bottles Dr. Shoop's Re- storative. He will let you take it for a month, and if 1t does what l claim the cost is $5.50 If this fails, I will pay him myself.
 No other physician ever made such an offer, and none ever will. There is no other treatment that could stand such a test. But I have learned by experience that 39 out of each 40 who get these six bottles pay for them. because they are cured.
 One time in forty I fail Sometimes the disease is too difficult to be reached in a month. Sometimes an organic trouble, like cancer, makes a cure impossible. But 39 in each 40 who take the remdy get we'll The other one pays nothing; the treat ment Is free.
 Won't you write a postal to learn about a remdy like that?
 My success comes from strengthening the inside nerves. l bring back the nerve power which alone operates each vital organ. l make each organ do it's duty by giving it nerve power. Positively there Is no other way
 It is pity for a sick person to neglect an offer like this.
