Buffalo Threatened With
One of Most Disastrous
Floods in Its History

Buffalo. N. Y, March 2S.-With
several miles of the city in the Ken
sington and South Buffalo sections
partially submerged with flood waters
of the CaZenovia and Buffalo creeks,
this city is threatened with one of the
most disastrous floods in it's history.
Continued mild weather to-day caus-
ing the rapid condensation of huge
masses of snow aggravated the situa-
tion, which was hourly becoming more
serious. Cellars in hundreds of homes
were flooded and entire streets were
closed to traffic. Trolley car service
was abandoned on several lines and
three schools were dismissed.

For Rheumatism

Business and professional men of
large means who have taken expen-
sive baths at famous resorts and have
spent money lavishly to rid them
selves of the tormenting agony of
rheumatism have turned to Rheuma
and got well.
When Rheuma goes in poisonous
secretions go out. No opiates or mar
cotics are used Rheuma drives out
the cause of rheumatism and speedily
brings comfort and health, and most
druggists will admit it.
Two bottles of Rheuma will cost
YOU a dollar at H. G. Kennedy's or any
druggist, and If this purchase does not
bring you the freedom from pain and
misery YOU expected, your money is
waiting for you.-Advertisemen
