This was all he could say before the line went out. Inland at Orlando houses rocked In the tempest. The storm appeared to be smashing its way across the peninsula. Like a gigantic swoid it cut down everything It) its path. Comniuulcation lines were generally out. Public utilities were crippled. Scores of towns and cities on the edge of the storm's path were iu darkness as a result, last night. Before wires to West Palm Beach failed, reports came of house tops sailing through the air, trees pulled up like grass and seas 35 to 4o feet high pounding on the shore. Senator Joseph T. Robinson, democratic candidate for vice-president was reported on a special train that left Miami last midnight as a relief expedition. Doctors and nurses were on boaid and railroad officials hoped to reach the vicinity of West Palm Beach sometime today.

Thought Her Aching Back Would Break Endured Agony from Kidneys and Stomach. Found Quick Relief. People who suffer from back-ache and kidney pains, know how wonderful it felt to Mrs. Albert Krahn, 212 W. Grove St., Kendallville, Ind., to be rid of this agonizing trouble after so many years. Mrs. Krahn says: “For 25 years I had a dreadful pain in the center of my back. At times it was so sharp and cutting that my back seemed about to break. I was told it came from my kidneys, as they were weak and made me get up several times at night. I also suffered severely with headaches and constipation. I .tried a great many remedies but none seemed to bring lasting relief. But Viuna was different. After taking only one bottle, my back stopped torturing mq, and it never pains me any more. My kidneys are better, too, and my sleep is not disturbed. The constipation is relieved and my headaches have stopped. I feel so greatly improved that 1 find pleasure in my work, instead of having to drag myself around. I know from experience that Viuna is a wonderful medicine, and I am glad to recommend it to sick folks.” Viuna nets promptly on sluggish bowels, lazy liver and weak kidneys. It purities the blood, clears the skin, restores appe tite and digestion.aud brings new strength and energy to the whole body. Take a bottle on trial. Then If you’re not glad you tried Viuna. your motley will be refunded. $t at druggists or mailed postpaid by Icelaud Medicine Co., Indianapolis, Ind. VIUNA The Wonder Medicine Sold By GALLOW & KOHNE
