CAUGHT BY THE GRIP

La Grippe Is Epidemic Catarrh.

THE disease now known as grip
i used to be called influenza.
livery closely resembles cold, but Is
more tenacious in its hold upon the
system and produces more profound dis
turbances.
Grip is in reality epidemic catarrh.
When it once begins it spreads over the
country very rapidly.
People do not catch the grip from each
other, but each one catches 1t from the
atmosphere.

In speaking of Peruns, Mr.. Madison
says:

cine that have ever tried for la grippe.

Healthy MUCOUS Membranes.
Those who Sre fortunate enough 10
have perfectly healthy mucous mem
branes ordinarily do not catch the grip.
The mucous membranes lining the
nose, throat and lungs, when in
normal state, are an effectual barrier
against the invasion Of grip.
But, IL there happens to be the slight
est catarrhal arrangement Of the
mucous membranes, then the victim be-
comes an easier prey TO the grip.
This in part explains why some peo-
pie get the grip, while others do not.
The rational thing to do is to keep the
system free from catsrrh. In attempt
ing to do this most people have found
Peruna to be invaluable.

During an epidemic of grip Peruna
should be used. The doses recon-
mendec on the bottle are sufficient.
After the grip has once been acquired
DR.. Hartman recommends the use of
Peruna in teaspoonful doses every hour
during the acute stage, after which the
directions on the bottle should be fol-
lowed.
Experience has shown that the people
who use Peruna as q remedy for grip
generally recover sooner and are less
liable TO the distressing and long-con'
tinued after-effects Of the grip.
When Peruna has not been used dur
ing the course OF the grip and the patient
finds himself suffering from the after
effects Of this disease, q course OF Peruna
should be resorted to.

Pennsylvania Rivers Again at Flood
STAGE,

Pittsburg, Jan. 19.-The rivers are
again at a food stage and with the
water rising at the rate of three-tenths
of a foot an hour the danger line will
probably be passed before evening.
Reports from up river points, however,
indicate that the food will not reach
serious proportions and the stage may
not exceed twenty-three feet. The
Allegheny river is falling at the head
waters, but the Monongahela is still
rising at all points.
Brownsville has thirty-four feet of
water on the marks and rising two
inches an hour Half the houses in
West Brownsville are said to be sub
merged. Elizabeth and West Eliza
beth are also partly inundated. Many
of the residents remained up all night
preparing for the flood.
At McKeesport the high water has
forced the suspension Of operations at
several factories, throwing several
hundred men out OF work. The Mo-
nongahela river was rising seven
inches an hour at that time and il the
rise continues a number Of the mills
of the National tube works will have
to close down. Fayette City Is sur
rounded by water and many people
have removed from their residences.
California and Roscoe are partly sub
merged and scores of families have
vacated their houses. Nearly every
house in Black Diamond Is flooded.

R!ous POINTS.

Cincinnati, Jan. 19.-Flood condi-
tions continue to grow worse. At z
a. m. the stage In this city was 59.5
feet and rising. Every hour added
materially to the flooded area and the
suffering among the residents Of the
lower sections of this city and the
Kentucky suburbs was great. Street
and railroad car service was badly
crippled, many electric lines having
impossible gaps several blocks long
and improvised trains for transfer ar
rangement were inadequate. There
was no indication of immediate relief
from up the river, although some of
the tributaries of the Ohio were re-
ported as falling. The colder weather
which has been looked for to stop the
rise did not materialize, but heavy
rain Is falling, adding greatly to the
discomfort of those who had been
driven from their homes and increas-
ing the damage to property in process
of removal from river front cellars.
At noon the sixty-foot stage In the
river here had been reached and the
river was still rising. Reports Of SUI
fering continued to come in during the
day from towns along the river both
above and below the city. The town
of New Richmond was reported flood
bound, nearly all the houses In the
place being submerged, and the people
have been compelled to move into the
second stories or else vacate their
homes entirely.

the killed.
The city Is in ruins, but the ship

and buried on the day the dispatch
