WELCOMES THE OPPORTUNITY TO TELL ALL FACTS

MRS BYERS DEEPLY GRATEFUL FOR AID,„WANTS OTHERS TO KNOW TRUTONA’S MERIT. Terre Haute, liid. Apr. 19.—“1 am glad<to have the opportunity" to tell of the wonderful benefits Trutona has given me,” Mrs. Rebecca Byers, who lives in Terr Haute, at 857 North Third Street, said recently. Mrs. Byers’ gladness is explained as follows: “For the past three years my system has been in a run-d6wn condition. My kidneys had been giving me a lot of trouble ana my stomach was in such shape that I had to be careful about my eating. I suffered constantly from pains in toy back and I. knpw that my liver wasn't in good Condition.” “My appetite had almost failed me completely when I began using Trutona. But thanks to this treatment of the perfect tonic I can eat anything I want to and thoroughly >enjoy it. For the first time -ip three years mj? back doesn’t bother me, and I sleep as sound as any human being can.” “Trutona did all of this for me after other medicines had failed to relieve my troubles, and I’m sure if one bottle will help me so much, a few more will put me jn splendid health. Furthermore, I’m confident that Trutona will do the same for others if they’ll take it according to directions.” Trutona’s healthful action reaches every portion of the body, and performs. its Work faithfully and efficiently. Trutona rebuilds diseasedxnerves and tissues, creates a healthful appetite and aids in the assimilation and digestion of the •food. 7 7 . Trutona is now being introduced and explained in Rensselaer at the Larsh & Hopkins drug store.

IROQUOIS RISING. RAPIDLY; FLOOD STAGE THREATENED

' The heavy rains of the past few days have swollen the Iroquois river to such an extent that it has already left its banks "in many places, flooding the lowlands, and the annual spring floods of a few years ago are! again threatening. The stream has risen several feet since 4he beginning of the spring rains, and another heavy rain will send torrents of water into the adjacent territory. Burk’s grade is under water at the present time and offers its! usual danger to travelers. The Kankakee river *is also said, to be preparing to leave its banks, in fact has already done so at many points, and if the rains persist the loss to the farmers of that region will total thousands of dollars. Much of the Jasper county farming land is in anything but tillable condition, and acre upon. acre lies under water. The farmers are already far behind in their spring work and unless relief comes soon there will no doubt*be a severe erop shortage this fall.
