One after another of the great men of the nation
are falling, and most of them in middle life all vic
Tins to overwork. Can we afford to lose such men?
Those men died of nervous prostration in the mid
day of their usefulness, and in the last year how
many business men and women have suddenly fallen
out of the ranks either into unmely grave or to
worse fate The business men of the nation are
killing themselvesby overwork of mind if not of body
and we call it NERVOUS Prostration." The middle
class is suffering in the same way. Overwork, the
pressure of the time worry, fret and anxiety,
rendering weak and suffering generation. No
man would commit suicide if his nervous system was
in state OF perfect health. 1t is inevitably the
suit of nervousness in some form other. Now, is
it not time that we, as people, should seriously
anime into this matter, and seek remedy, if
can be found? The nervous system must be
tanned and built up in proportion to its waste and
disintegration, or we must sutfer The facts prove
that this waste is not supplied by our ordinary diet
and living. The refined manner of living now does
not give to us in our food enough of nerve food or
enough of that which goes to make nerve matter, to
meet the demand made upon the nervous system,
and the result is nervous prosration paralysis apo
plexy, dependency neuralgia, headache, sleepless
ness and premature death. We all know that these
facts, and acknowledge the Importance of a remedy
dy Now, with all professional candor can say after
years OF experience in their use, and sustained by
elsewhere, that my CELERY AND CHAMOMILIE
PILLS do and will supply this needed material to
the nervous system. They are a nerve food. Their
first effect is to promote digestion, thereby curing
dyspepsia; secondly, they enter into the flu
i'd and create nerve matter, and in this way perma-
nently cure prostration, dependency
headache, neuralgia nervousness ETC., by removing
the causes of these diseases, and securing the sys
TEN against paralysis, apoplexy, etc. They contain
no opium or morphia nor any narcotic whatever
and can safely be used for any length of time.
The extract of celery is the great nerve maker,
and the extract of chamomile the great promoter of
digestion and nervous sedative; but their combined
effect is wonderful, indeed, curing that have
resisted all other treatment even by the best of
physicians. Anybody and everybody, don't care
who they are, would be improved by taking one of
these pills after breakfast and dinner for while.
People who want clear compile xion and smooth
skin, free of disease, must keep their sys-
tenn in healthy state. Domestic care and business
anxiety often make quite serious inroads upon the
nervous system as the higher order of mental work,
and thousands of people are eking out a miserable
and nervous headache that could be perfectly cured
by ayailng themselves of this remedy. 1t is certain
ly worth a trial in every The claims of this
preparation are recognized by the profession, am
glad to say, and largely used and recommended by
them. And why should it not be so? 1t is not
rience in the practice of medicine. AS to my pro-
fessional standing, let the following letter from
Prof Samuel Chew Sr. speak. Respectfully.

pared to be useful, and also of unexceptionable
moral character. take great pleasure in common
