Caterrh, Kidney Complaint, Heart

“I think it my duty to voluntarily tell what
Hood’s Sarsaparilla has done for myself and
wife. Last spring my wife was in a very bad
way with kidney complaint; felt
Miserable All the Time
and could hardly get around the house. She
began to take Hood’s Sarsaparilla, and in one
week she was improving. When she had
taken but three bottles of Hood’s Sarsaparilla
she was cured of that dreadful disease. As
for. me, I was, troubled with Catarrh, Heart
Failure and Liver Complaint. Suffered so in-
tensely that
I Could Not Sleep
at night, nor get any rest through the day. As
soon as Ilay down, my heart would heat so
hard that I would have to get up. I had very
severe pains in the small of my back and
nmses in my head like a flock of black
birds all singing at once. So you see I was
hard up. I also experienced benefit from
Hood’s Sarsaparilla “111151! a week after I
began taking it. I have improved rapidly and
can now sleep better than I have for a year,
can eat and not bloat as I used to. We praise
Hood’s Sareaparilla
for we think there is no medicine like it.” HEN-

A Great Ice Gorge Breaks and
Lots Waters Loose.
MANY BOATS CRUSHED IN RON-
DOUT’S CREEK.
Immense Losses at Schenectady and
Elsewhere.
RONDOUT, N. Y., March 14.—The great
ice gorge below the dam at Eddyville
broke yesterday. The immense body ,of
' water behind it rushed down the creek,
carrying thousands of tons of ice with it.
This struck the Cornell fleet, which win-
ters here, and swept almost every steam-
boat. and 40 or50 other boats into the
fiver. The ropes which moored the boats
between the Delaware and Hudson coal
dock and the mainland were snapped like
thread, and even heavy anchor chains
Were broken. In the course down the
creek many boats were badly ._ stove, and
the Pittson, valued at $10,000, and the Ad-
riatic, at $8,000, are thought to be so badly
damaged that they will sink.
The neWs of the great flood. spread over
the town, and in a very short time the
docks were crowded with people. The
screams of the men on the helpless boats
and the crunching oi the big steamers
and canalboats as they were stove, added
to the rush of water, caused the most in-
tense excitement. Ropes thrown out to
hold the boats availed nothing. The
largeside wheeler Norwich and the tug
C. D. Mills, the only boats with steam
up, could not save the drifting boats.
They had great difiiculty in saving them-
selves.
Besides about ‘25 steamboats, 30 North-
ern canalboats loaded with ice and 25
Delaware and Hudson boats were swept
away. Many of these were crushed and
“sunk on the way down the creek. Some
Of the canalboats were occupied by
families, and they were rescued with
great difficulty. The sight of the women
wringing their hands, and the frantic
men, was witnessed with horror by. the
people on shore. Those in the
eitherjumped ashore as the craft swung
in or escaped over the immense cakes of
floating ice. , -
The ice dam below Eddyville formed
Saturday. The heavy rain that night
caused the water to rise fully eight feet.
A large part of Eddyville was inundated
and 'families have had to leave their
houses for higher ground. The. damage
there will amount to many thousand
dollars. The Lawrence Cement Com-
pany had 18,000 barrels of cemenifvalued
at $22,000, slcred in their Eddyvillc mill.
This is a total loss.
The great pressure of water on {he ice
dam causedit to give way, and the flood
in Eddyvillc d.sap_pcarad with a rush
down the creek, breaking ihe heavy ice
before it. Boats all along the creek were
swept down the stream, mingling with
those moored here. The slip between the
coal clock and the mainland has always
been considered a saieplac -, bugyesccrday
the ice rushed through it 5.10-; oi the
boats were there. The boats of the Cor-
nell fleet- are valued at $1,030,030. It . is
thought the damage to thezn will amount
to about $553,000. They are not in ured.
The, ice in the northern canalboatt is
owned by John D.‘ Schoonmaker. It is
valued at $8,050 and insured for $4,030. At
least half it will be lost. The boats were
worth over $100,000, partially insured.
They are owned mostly by boatmen. The
Delaware and Hudson Company will lose
about $10,000.
The ierryboat Transport, with about
20 passengers aboard, bound for this
city, was caught in the mesa of boats,
and is now helpless. Her passengers
were terribly frightened. Most of them
escaped by jumping from the floating to
the firm ice. The ierryboat had only be-
gun running. E. A. Godfrey of New
York, who was on the boat, said he
would not take the trip again for any
money. He thought he would never
reach shore. Such a destructive rush of
ice and water has never been known in
the creek before.
