CoibSeaI CITY IM DARKNESS; 1,500 FAMILJESFL00DB0UND Three Thousand Buildings Flooded and 10,000 Workmen Idle at Grand Rapids. LOSS ABOUT $1,500,000 West Side of the City Under Water from Two to Six Feet Deep. GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., March 26.-Thi3 City Is In darkness to-night: Grand river is till rising; 3,f0 buildings are flooded; 1,500 families are imprisoned In their homes on the West Side; 10,tX) employes are thrown out of work and the river is seven feet above the danger line. The estimated loss Is ll.S00.orji). The west side of Grand Rapids la under -Rater from two to six feet deep. Leaving Its banks near the Grand Trunk bridge on the north end of the city, the Grand river has cut for itself a new and horter channel down through the West Bide and In places the current runs so wiftly that a boat cannot cross. South of the city the river is five miles wide. Kvry bridge and darn on the Grand rivr between this city and Irnsing has ben carried out. Train service Is completely demoralized and this city Is practically cut off frum the east, while west and south the service is to badly crippled that It Is likely to be abandoned at any time. The Grand Rapids & Indiana Railroad is practically the only road open to the south, but is completely cut off from the north by several miles of water upon its tracks. At Ionia the Grand river has risen three feet since yesterday and there is apparently no relief in sight as It is still rising at the rate of more than an inch an hour. The temperature to-night is falling rapidly and Ice is forming in th flooded district, where the water has reached ns high as the lower story ceilings of a grent number of residences. The cold will cause great suffering among the Imprisoned people In these houses without means of heating. OHIO STREAMS - SWOLLEN INTO RAGING TORRENTS Hundreds of Families Driven from Homes and Travel Generally Suspended. BOY KILLED BY STORM

CINCINNATI. March 2. The heaviest rainstorms in years prevailed throughout Ohio last night and the floods are causing damage along the tributaries of the Ohio river In this State. At Hamilton the Rig Miami rose fifteen feet in four hours rendering over two hundred families homeless. The reservoir north of Hamilton broke flooding paper mills and tieing up railway and traction lines. There are no ' trains In or out of Hamilton to-day and the tractiou lints are very seriously washed out. All the towns west of Cincinnati along the Big Miami rc flooded. The same is true of all towns, ea&t of Cincinnati along the Uttle Miami river from Loveland to Coney Island, while the railways and traction lines suffered numerous washouts. At Findlay. O.. the RIanchard river has flooded the city so that street cars are stopped and business houses are suflering. The Fame conditions prevail along the RIanchard to the Maumec river. All the creeks lu southern Ohio made sudden rises durlug the night and are out of their banks. The storm lamaged hotjses. barns and mill southwest of Ontario, making a path of devastation for several miles long. The farmhouse of Dennis Stofer was t destroyed. Melvin Stofer, aged thirteen, was caught between the timbers and killed. Dennis Stofer and two daughters were caught in. the ruins, but released by neighbors. There were no serious damages In Cincinnati or its suburbs. The police saved the farr.ilv of Frank Green from a shanty in the Mill creek bottoms Just before it floated. Mrs. Green and one child wer suffering with pneumonia, and wero taken to the hospital. Three colored families were also rescued by the police from shanties in the Mill creek bottoms. The gardener In the MW creek valley lost their spring crops, but the waters subsided so that no srious dan-ages were experienced by the shops and packing houses or by any of the traffic lines.

ONLY A SUGGESTION. But It IIa Proven of Interest nnd Value to TliouMantla. Common sense would suggest that if. one wishes to become fleshy and plump it can only result from the food we eat and dtgt&t and that, food should be albuminous or flesh-forming foot, like eggs, beefsteak and cereals; in other vorris the kind of food that make flesh are the foods which form the greater 'part of our dally tills of fare. But the? trouble Is that while we cat enough aud generally too much, the stomach, from abuse and overwork, does not properly digest and assimilate it, which Is the rfason so many rple remain thiu and under weight; the digestive organs do not completely digest the Ile&h-formlng beefsteak and eggs and similar wholesome food. There are thousands of such who are really confirmed djspeptlcs. although they may have no particular pain or inconvenience from their stomachs. If such persons would lay their prejudices aside and make a regular practice of taking, after each meal, one or two of Stuart' Iyspepf4a Tablets, the food would be quickly and thoroughly digested, because these tablets contain the natural peptones and diastase which every weak stimach lacks, and by bupplying this want the tdomach l soon enabled to regaia its uttural tone and vigor. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablet digest everv form of tlfsdi-forming food, meat ir bre:id and potatoes, and this is the" reason they eo quickly build up. strengthen ail invigorate thin, dyspeptic men. women aiid children. Invalids and children, even the most d 11cate, use them with marked benefit a- thev contain no ?troug, irritating drugs, no cathartic uor any harmful Ingredient Stuart's n?pepsia Tablets js the most successful and most widely known of any remedy for stomach troubh-a bcaiij.t. it the mt reasonable and scientific of modem medicines.

QTQ A IT 6rg7? Damage to Property from Flood

EIGHT PERSONS BY STORM ARE HURT AT LOUISVILLE Many Buildings Partly Wrecked, Wires Torn Down and Railways Crippled. ISOLATED ALL MORNING LOUISVILLE, Ky.. March 26.-EIght persons were Injured and extensive damage was done to city and suburban property by a storm which swept over Louisville. The injured are: GEORGE REISS, policeman, skull fractured. HENRY SCHMIDT, skull fractured. FREDERICK BAUER, leg broken. CHARLES HILDEBRAND, badly briused. HENRY BOHLSEN. JR., cut by flying glass. GUS WILBERDING, bruised. BENJAMIN RITTMAN, patrolman, jaw Injured. ALEXANDER LAWSON. bruised. The storm isolated the South from the North to-day. Communication was cut off by every route available to the Western Union company. In vain were efforts made to find an ingress. Destruction or paralysis of telegraph facilities by storm was so widespread and unparalleled that not a wire was working south through Richmond. Nashville, Memphis or any of the great tenters of electrical control on either side of the Alleghenies. from the Atlantic westward far beyond the Mississippi. By great exertion a circuit was finally established south from Louisville, penetrating the vast territory which had been so thoroughly, for weary hours, shut off from the rest of the world. In Louisville the wind attained a velocity of sixty miles an hour, and the rain fell In torrents, accompanied by heavy pyrotechnics, terrifying to the mind. The entire city was for a time flooded. Third avenue, near the Confederate monument, being three feet deep In water. Street car service was suspended for several hours. The roof of the main building at the Industrial School of Reform was blown oft, falling clear of the building on the ground, and a panic ensued among the one hundred boys sleeping in that section of the school. Two hundred and lorty-five inmates of tht? Masonic Widows' and Orphans Home were marched into the center of the building after the storm had torn away a part of the roof. It was feared the building would collapse. In an area of a dozen squares in which Preston street and the Louisville & Nashville's crossing is the central portion, ten houses were unroofed and several persons were hurt. The residence of Henry Dubourg. on the Eighteenth-street road, a mile from the city limits, was blown away and his family of ei?ht had a remarkable escape from death. Near. the Dubourg home Alexander Lawson was caught under the debris of his wrecked home and severely injured. Reports from various parts of the city indicate that about 150 houses are more or less damaged. No fatalities were reported nor was the loss In any one case heavy, yet. summing up the damages which were widely diffused, the total aggregated considerable. Many of the finest residences in the fashionable section of the city were damaged by both wind and water and several plants devoted to manufacturing suffered heavily. The establishment of the Caldwell Manufacturing Company had two walls blown in and several distilleries reported serious damage. The roof of the grand stand at Churchill Downs and several of the stables were slightly damaged, but Secretary Brice announces that they will be placed In perfect condition soon. The damage in Louisville was greatest from Preston street east to Seventh and from Ormsby south into the country. The trolley, telephone, telegraph and electric light feed wires were in an almost inextricable mass south of the Fourth-street crossing of the Louisville & Nashville, and the line to Jacob Park will not be able to resume business before Monday. The street-car service on other lines reached normal conditions before noon. Very few trains arrived In Louisville on time to-day. as flood damage in Indiana delayed all of them. Reports of damage throughout the State were received during the day. At Owensfcoro John Batt, a street-car motorman, was badly injured by the wall of a building falling on him. The warehouse of the Continental Tobacco Company there ' was unroofed and many thousand pounds of tobacco ruined by water. Damage amounting to $10.000 is reported from the northern part of Montgomery county. A cloudburst swept the country adjacent to Petersburg. Ky., but no lives were lost. A levee broke near Henderson, Ky., washing away several bridges and delaying all railway traffic. MOVEMENTS OF STEAMERS NEW YORK, March 26.

THREAT OF WATER FAMINE BECAUSEOF THE FLOOD When Fall Creek Levee Broke the Water Company's Upper Station Was Made Useless.

TASK OF LOWER STATION It Must Furnish the City's Supply Which Will Tax Pumps to Utmost Capacity. As a result of the breaking of the south levee of Fall creek at three points between Fourteenth street and Indiana avenue shortly after 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon the upper and main station of the Indianapolis Water Company was completely flooded, its machinery choked and the city threatened for a while with a water famine. Within a few hours after the levee broke the upper station was abandoned and the gigantic task of supplying the city with water was thrown upon the lower station at West Washington street, where the water was several feet below the danger point. The city was quick to feel the effects of the breakdown of the upper water station. The supply of water was low in all the hotels and business houses, while in the outlying residence districts It was impossible to get water at all. Although the lower station worked its pumps to their greatest capacity, they were not able to maintain the supplv necessary to the city on Saturday night, when all the large stores were open. General alarm In all parts of the city followed the curtailment of the water pressure. People who depend upon the city water entirely were subjected to great inconvenience and some were forced to carry water from neighboring pumps. WILL HAVE FEEBLE SUPPLY. Although the pumps at the lower station were kept' working as fast as the engineers dared, the supply of water last night was still lower. However, as long as the lower station Is kept intact the city will have a fair supply. The station at West Washington street, it is thought, will not be affected unless the river rises several feet during the night. At 8 o'clock last night the river was still within a foot of the danger point at the lower station, and John Rail, the chief engineer, said that he did not think the machinery was In danger. There is, however, another dangjr to the lower station aside from the high water. The pumps are being worked to their full capacity and should an accident occur to the machinery it would mean a water famine for the city. The lower station of the Indianapolis Water Company, it Is thought, will be able to furnish the city with sufficient water by bringing into use its old pumps, which have not been used since the new station was built. The average amount of water supplied the city Is about 13,(W,000 gallons daily. Officers of the company declare that by starting their old pumps the lower station will be able to supply a daily volume of 17.00O.CXK) gallons. The old pumps were started late last night and reports from the station indicated that they were working satisfactorily. The probable length of the critical situation depends entirely upon the condition of White river. Should the river recede today the company thinks that it could have the north station, repaired and working by this evening. F. A. W. Davis, vice president of the Indianapolis Water Company, said last night: "Until the water in the river goes down the upper station will be useless. Water is standing in the furnaces three feet deep and on the floor to a depth of four and five feet. We thing that it will probably be thirty-six hours before we can start the pumps there again. Of course it may be longer or if the river falls rapidly we might in a pinch start the machinery by noon Sunday. Cur men are waiting to go back to their posts just as soon as the flood subsides and no time will be lost in starting the pumps. We regret very much the breakdown of the upper station, but it was due to the levees giving way. We have felt all along that these levees were entirely too light and have feared such an accident." FIRES EXTINGUISHED. After the levee broke yesterday the water poured Into the low land occupied by the north station and extinguished the fires In the furnaces and drove the workmen frpm the plant, which was shut down shortly after 3 o'clock. The first break in the levee was at a point about one thousand feet west of the Fall creek bridge. Once a waterway was formed through the levee, a complete washout followed, and the water poured over in volumes, flooding the entire neighborhood up as far as Hiawatha street. John Rail, chief engineer, was in the upper station at the time the levee gave' way. He said it was impossible to keep the engines going, as the water rushed in and put out the fires. He said he and his men had barely time to escape before being surrounded by water. In case a large fire should occur, with the water company so badly crippled, the situation would be portentous. With the pressure of the lower station alone It would be well-nigh Impossible for the fire department to fight successfully a large fire. At 10 o'clock last night the water at the lower station was sixteen feet and seven inches above low water mark, having risen seven inches since 7 o'clock. The limit to which the water can rise before affecting the station is seventeen and one-quarter feet. Men at the station last night said that the river was not rising as fast as during the afternoon and they did not expect it to go more than a few inches higher. Chief Cooln'n Statement. That the situation caused by the stoppage of pumping at the north station of the Indianapolis "Water Company was a very serious one was admitted last night by Chief Coots. "The situation is very grave," said the chief. "Although I do not know exactly what pressure I could get In case of a fire, I know that it would not be enough to take care of a bad blaze. I am in hopes that the north pumping station will be working again in the morning, and I believe that it will if Fall creek continues to go down. The river might rise higher than It is now, but if Fall creek lowers the north station can pump water. It is the creek that does the damage." BRAVE FIREMEN RESCUE CHICKENS Two Fowls Were Floating Down the River on an Improvised Raft. White river proved a threatening element in the vicinity of the West Washington-street bridge yesterday afternoon. .Fire truck No. 5 was called to the bridge to keep the debris away from the old bridge. The men under Captain Arnold worked all afternoon with hooks and poles In keeping the driftwood from accumulating. During the afternoon articles of all descriptions came floating down the river. At one time a large raft, on which were perched two chickens, was sighted in the center of the river. A rope was thrown out and the raft was pulled as close to the shore as possible. Two firemen. Charles Millinder and Bert Byers. then Jumped on it and took the chickens off in safety. Much to the amusement of the crowd. Byers fell when he tried to step back on terra tirma and in so doing nearly lost his prize. The company will have chicken at their quarters this noon. Three Killed by n Storm. PARAGOULD, Ark.. March LS. A destructive storm to-day caused the death of three persons, injured several others and laid waste much property in Gainesville and vicinity, It is feared there were mure casualties

GREAT LAKE STRETCHES HDRTH0F FILL CHEEK Solid Body of Water as Far as the Eye Can Reach in Every Direction.

BREAKING OF THE LEVEE Xcrth of Fall creek as far as Twentyeighth street and as far east and west as the eye can reach was a solid body of water flooding the North Side residential district and carrying ruin and devastation to many well-furnished and expensive homes. The occupants of the homes were warned a short time before the water overflowed the banks of Fall creek and reached high ground. Many, however, remained in their homes until it was too late t walk out in safety and were removed in rowboats. Almost without exception all of the houses in that district were flooded, especially on the first floor. Efforts were made to save the household furniture, but in many instances without avail. Where it was possible all movable furniture was takeu to the upper floors and elevated as much as possible above high water mark. Rowboats were called into frequent use. . In many of the large and fashionable residences along North Illinois, Meridian and Pennsylvania streets, occupants of the houses could be seen at windows beckoning for help while the water was surging madly around the premises, carrying in its path doorsteps, yardseats and articles of yard and house furniture. About 1:J0 yesterday afternoon the levee protecting the large body of land just west of Senate avenue and north of Fall creek from the current of the creek gave way and in almost an instant the whole com mons was a miniature ocean and the resi dents along Northwestern avenue and b all creek were In the midst of a flood and making frantic efforts to escape. When the levee broke it separated two boys who were watching the torrent from the levee and for about two hours they were exiled from land on the quickly-made island. The creek at this time was rapidly rising and for a while it seemed that their lives were In danger. However, a boat was secured and Bruce Maxwell, a member of the Aquatic Club, fought his way through barbed 'wire fences and brought the lads safely to the mainland. While this was going on a widow, Mrs. Black, living in a little cottage in the commons west of Senate avenue, was waving a piece of white cloth frantically as a signal that she was in danger. At the same time G. T. Paulissen, 2425 West Twentyfifth street, was on his horse and making a desperate effort to get to shore that he might secure means of removing his family to safety. West Twenty-fifth street at this place is in a state of repair and the Jiorse and rider were badly used up when they reached Serate avenue. Later Superintendent Kruger detailed a force of police with canoes to West Twenty-fifth street to remove the occupants of homes In this territory to safety. HARD IVO RK SAVES STREET-CAR TRAFFIC Men at West End Power Station Labor Ceaselessly to Prevent Shutdown. Due to hard work and bags of sand, the latter placed all around the street car power house in the West End, the traction and terminal company experienced no trouble there last night. The cellar, which during the afternoon had been flooded, was rapidly emptied by steam pumps. ' The inlet was obstructed, and water ceased to flow in the cellar. In addition to car service in the West End, which was crippled, the Central.avenue cars were abandoned, and Illinoisstreet cars ran only as far as rail creek. In the East End service, which had been discontinued, was resumed, and cars ran to Irvington without delay. HS RUN 1 Z HOURS LATE; SERVICE ISDEUOMUZQ Lack of Motive Power Adds to Difficulties of Local Railroad Men. MANY ARE NOT REPORTED Not for years was the Union Station force and the Indianapolis railway service so demoralized as last night and the twelve hours preceding. From Cincinnati, Louisville, St. Louis and points east on the P. & E. the floods rendered it impossible for trains to move on schedule. Local conditions were so discouraging that trains on the Big Four and Monon to Chicago moved out only after delays of from three to twelve hours. Cincinnati traffic on the Big Four was carried over the P. & E. from Shirley, some trains even running to Springfield and Dayton, O., before reaching this city. The Monon trains were hindered by washouts near Cincinnati. The Big Four washout at Eagle creek delayed Chicago trains for several hours. "If the waters in this vicinity keep rising," said Stationmaster Lewis last night, "The Union Depot may have to close its doors. We get our heat from our own plant and water supply from the West Washington-street station." Even on divisions where trains ordinar'ly could have moved out on time lack of locomotives crippled car service. Following are some quotations from the Union Station time card, showing the situation here last night: No. SS, C, H. & D. to Cincinnati, no time given. No. 11, Big Four, due 11:40 a. m., arrived S:25 p. m. Pennsylvania train to Louisville, due at 6:35 p. m., arrived 10:35 p. m. Nos. 29, 30, 19, 11 and 1 on Big Four, running via Shirley, no report given. One of these trains was twelve hours' overdue. No. 32 on the Monon for Chicago, due to leave early yesterday morning, had not left last night. Big Four train due here at 12:43 Friday night had not arrived last night. Last report was from Shelbyville. CITY NEIVS NOTES. The Ladies Auxiliary of the German Butchers' Society will give a euchre party March 21). at 2:30. at the South Side Hall.

AT HAND, GIRL IS OWNED III FALL CREEK First Victim Is Lost When Boat Upset, After Rescuers' Work Seemed Done. HEROES FIGHT FLOOD Brave Death, and Strong Men Faint After Ordeal Now in Hospital. The first fatality of the flood period occurred last night near the Indiana-avenue bridge at Fall creek. Goldly Brennaman. a young girl, was drowned and a number of others were thrown into the water and exposed so much that they are not expected to live. Mrs. Hester Godley and Miss Brennaman were sisters and occupied a house on Eleventh street on Fall creek. About 7 o clock last night passersby heard appeals for aid coming from the house. Investigation thowed that the two women were in a very serious plight. Their dwelling was entirely surrounded by water and it was rising rapidly. Denny Judd and Tom Barnley volunteered to go after the women in a small boat which they had procured. Starting from the bridge on Indiana avenue they made the trip in safety and had nearly reached the bridge. At this point they encountered a very strong current which turned their boat around. Judd and Barnley made every effort to right it but could not do so. The skiff upset and the entire party was thrown into the water. Miss Brennaman went down and did not come up again. Judd seized Mrs. Godley and then grasped some bushes. Barnley hung on to the upturned skiff. "Doc" Smith and Hirman Richardson were standing on the shore. When they saw the accident they jumped into a boat and started for the people. They reached Judd and Mrs. Godley first and getting her Into the Doat started for the shore. As soon as Mrs. Godley reached the shore she was put in a wagon and taken to the City Hospital. At this time the wildest excitement prevailed as the spectators thought that the woman was dead. She was unconscious from exposure she had undergone when the wagon reached the hospital. Smith and Richardson started back after the two men and just as they were starting Richardson fell from the boat into the water. It was seen that he was very weak and Smith told him not to go but Richardson would not listen to this and as soon as he recovered he Jumped into the boat and started out. They reached Judd and Barnley. The boat had started back but soon ran into a very swift undercurrent. This made it necessary for the men to go further up before they could effect a landing. After going up stream for about a block the men tried to come to shore but could not make It, the current keeping them out about twenty-five feet. A number of men, led by Dr. Jeffries, of the City Dispensary, waded into the water and tried to reach the boat to pull it in, but were unable to do so. The men in the boat were ptilllng away with all the strength they had left and yet they did not seem to be able to make the boat move very far. Smith then yelled, "Boys I am going to make one more pull." They all pulled together and the boat was sent across in safety- Just as it reached shore Smith said, "Get me some place quick," and then fell In a faint. Richardson seemed to be delirous. Judd, Barnley and Smith were placed in the City Dispensary ambulance and taken to the City Hospital. Great fear was expressed about the patients at the hospital last night on account of the great exposure which they had undergone. LONG-DISTANCE LINES AND CABLE DUM DAMAGED Telegraph, Telephone, Press Association and Stock Market Wires Affected by the Flood. NO ST. LOUIS SERVICE "With but two lines working to Chicago, and its service correspondingly crippled in other directions, the Wrestern Union Telegraph Company was a heavy flood sufferer yesterday. By relaying, messages were sent out with but little delay. Manager Butler was congratulated for the manner In which the local offices kept up service under disparaging conditions. Last night conditions had - greatly improved. The Postal system had refused messages to St. Louis, owing to trouble near that city. Lines cast wer3 crippled, and trouble was experienced from the Hoods generally. The news associations, whose leased lines extend over the country, were handicapped, but barring delay in minor matters the "news" flowed over the wires in an uninterrupted stream. Votaries of the stock "ticker" yesterday were surprised at the irregularities on the day's market report, delays which evidently did not originate in Wall street. The North Side branch exchange of the New Telephone Company, at Talbott avenue and Pennsylvania street, was out of order last night, due to the floods. Cable ducts were damaged, and long-distance service to northern Indiana impaired. The Bell Telephone Company had a gang of men in the North Side repairing Hood damages. Cable ducts were also damaged in the West End. DOCTOR DID IT. Put on a; round hy Food. Feed a physician back to health and he gains an experience that he can use to benefit others. For this reason Grape-Nuts food is daily recommended to patients by hundreds of physicians who have cured themselves of stomach trouble. One doctor says: "Althowgh a physician and trying to aid and assist my fellow beings to enjoy good health, it must be admitted I formerly did not enjoy the best of health myself. In January, LSOD, I only weighed 119 pouuds. At this time I was living In the Ohio valley and began to think I had about seen my best days. One day about three years ago, I had an opportunity to try Grape-Nuts food for my breakfast. I liked it so well that I ate three teaspoonfuls three times a day and have regularly used it up to the present time, and I now weigh 155, a gain of 3) pounds, and enjoy the best of health. "Not only has Grape-Nuts made this wonderful change in me but through it I have helped my friends, relatives und patients. The sustaining power of this food is simply wonderful. 'I have one patient who is a section hand on the C. it O. R. R.. who eats nothing In the morning but four tahlespoonfuls of Grape-Nuts and yet does his very hard work up to lunch time and enjoys the best of health and strength. I could name a great many cases like this and I still prescribe Grape-Nuts in mv practice evry day." Name given by l'ostum Co.. Battle Creek, Mich. Ask any physician about the scientific principles ou which Grape-Nuts food 13 made. He'll tell you the principles are perfect. Then a 10 days' trial proves that the principles are carried out in the fool ('"all the good of the grains so treated that any one can digtst it all"h Shown in renewed physical strength ;;nd braiu -nerg-.

WILL YOU HELP

Get My Book Which shall I send? Took 1 lioolc 2 Hook 3 Hook i Hook 5 liool; C

Send me no money. Only tell me which book to send. You certainly know of some one who Is sick sonce sufferer who will be grateful for the help my book offers. And that book tells of a way to help. Tells of a way to certain that I. as a physician, offer that help on trial. The book tells how for 30 years in hospital! and at bedsides I searched for a way to cure deep-seated and difficult diseases. It tells how I perfected by prescription Dr. Shoop's Restorative. How by scientific experiment I traced out the causes that bring on chronic diseases. I found invariably that where there was a weakness, the inj-ide nerves wer weak. Where there was a lack of vitality, the vital nerves lacked power. Whert weak organs were found. 1 always found weak nerves. Not the nerves commonly thought of. but the vital organs" nerves. The Inside the Invisible nerves. This was a revelation. Then my real success began. Then I combined ingredients that would strengthen, that would vitalize, these nerves. That prescription I called a restorative. It Is known the world over now ai Dr. Shoop's Restorative. After that I cid not fail to cure one case in each hundred. In the extremely difficult cases, my failures for five years were one in each forty treated. I found cancer incurable. Cancer is for surgery, not medicine. Then how to get this prescription to sick ones everywhere was my thought. I must announce it in the public pr-ss. But, thought I. will they realize the real truth of my discovery, the real power of Dr. Shoop's Restorative? Then a way came to me like an inspiration. "I will offer It to the sick on trial. Then they will know I am sincere that my prescription is unusual." I wrote a reliable druggist in each city and village in America. They iRreed to co-operate with me. Now by any sick one. Dr. Shoop's Restorative can b taken at my risk. For a full month I will let you rsc it entirely at my risk. Send no money. Just write me for the book you need. When I send it I will tell you of a druggist Dear by who will permit the month's trial. Use the Restorative a month. Then decide. If you say to the drugg'st, "It did not help me," that will relieve you of any expense whatever. He will bill the cost to me. This Is my way of clearing your mind of all doubt as to what Dr. Shoop's Restorative can do. No matter how prejudiced, you cannot dispute this absolute security I offer. You cannot resist an offer like this if you are at all sick If you have a weakness, write me. If you can't do things like you used to do them, tell me about IL Write In confidence. As a physician I will tell you a way to help. Get my book now to-day. Address Dr. Shoop, Box 1790, Racine, Wis. Mild cases, not chronic, are often cured by one or two bottles. At druggist.
