Pittsburg, March 2.-The rivers are
almost within their banks, and as the
water is falling rapidly, and at the
headwaters the wrost of the food may
be considered as over. At 10 O'Clock
this morning the marks showed 25
feet and receding at the rate of half
foot an hour.
Only half a dozen times in q cen
tury has the flood of yesterday been
beaten, and from the fact Of the sud
den rise, the damage has not been
as great as the floods when the water
did not reach as high stage. Indi-
rectly the loss is heavy, as all the
mills and factories fronting the two
rivers have been compelled to close
on account of the water getting into
the fly pits, and probably 10000 men
will be thrown out of employment for
several days. This will mean a heavy
loss in wages In Southern Pennsyl-
vania the streams are all overf1owing
and causing more or less damage to
houses and farms that lay in their
course.
With the falling of the water mass
of mud and sediment is left deposited
on the lowland thorouoghfares of the
two cities. The little pools of water
are frozen over and the sidewalks are
charged with sheets of ice The
water in many of the cellars froze dur
ing the night, and the health authort-
ties are apprehensive of much sick
ness following the wake of the food.

RULES AND CURES FOR GRIPPE.
Prominent Physician Gives Advice Re-
oardinq the AIIment.

qarding the Ailment.
New York, March 2 yDr Cyrus Ed
son, in discussing the present epi-
demic of grippe in this city, is quot
ed as saying:
Grippe is contagious and II the
public were fully aware Of that fact
many unnecessary infections would
be avoided. The grippe germ, a spir-
lllum, or bacillus, locates itself prin-
cipally in the mucuous membranes of
the respiratory tract, and 1t Is an air
borne disease-one acquires it by
breathing in the germs Ample evil
dence of its conta giousness Is found
by its passage through a family, a
city or a section of the country, travel
ing along the ordinary lines of travel
1t is in this way that it was brought
to this country some 15 years ago,
coming in steamers from Europe.
"a great mistake is made by the
man who returns to his work too soon
after an attack of grippe.
ITO avoid catching the grippe. keep
warm and keep your feet dry. Sleep
in a well ventilated room, but avoid
draughts. If your baby has the grippe
don't kiss it, If your stenographer
has the grippe send him flowers and
regrets, but don't call on him until
he is Well Don't get tired, and above
all, keep warm and dry When you
do get the grippe, take a laxative, go
to bed and send for DOCTOR"

INFLUENZA AGAIN
ANOTHER EPIDEMIC OF THE GRIP IS
ANTICIPATED.
Many Cases Reported Already in this Part
Of the Country Common-sense
Remedy for the Disease
ana It's Efeetz.

Owing to the climatic conditions this
year many physicians fear another cpl
demic of the grip, that form of influ-
enza which so many have cause to re-
member. In some cases this disease
has run it's course with but little more
severity than hard cold, in others 1t
has caused acute sickness. In nearly
every case it has left train of after
effects more troublesome than the dis
ease itself It is characteristic Of the
grip that ordinary medicines win not
cure it permanently. The patient seems
to have recovered and then suffers a
relapse more severe than the first at
tack The trouble in such eases is that
the disease was not thoroughly eradi-
Gated from the system by the treat
ment employed.
Miss c. A. Peck of No. 639 East -Four
tenth street, Minneapolis. Mimi. had a
very severe attack of grip in 1889 and
it left her Frustrated. I could not get
over that feeling of utter exhaustion

thing and any little exertIon made me
out of breath and tired out I grew
thin, nervous and irritable. Then / de-
cided 10 try DR.. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People and the first box made
me feel better. Four boxes restored me
to my natural good health
The after effects Of the grip are often
worse than the disease and many times
they battle all efforts Of the best physi-
clans to drive them out of the system.
Health is shattered-the blood becomes
poor, the flesh falls away, the sufferer
grows nervous and irritable, and even
slight exertion causes shorrness of
breath. These are dangerous symptoms
and indicate that the system is in
state that invites pneumonia, bronchitis
or even consumption. DIR. Williams
