TALE OF A DEAD MAN.

ho"A'hB h"cH hona the Eternal Darb-
ness, he DISORDERS Various Disturb
auces which Proceeded and Accom-
panied the King of Terrors.
A strange and weird article in a recent
number OF the Chicago Herald describes the
process OF dissolution as follows:
MY splendid appetite began to fail; my
disposition for physical and mental eXertion
left me; my average good nature became
tainted; my nerves, always sheathed in in
penetrabIe defenses, became bad, as age
wears the enamel from the teeth, leaving its
tender fbres exposed to incess SAINT and pain
full contact. Irritation took the place of
the ordinary endurance of my nature.
II consulted medical men who examined
me and found nothing-'a low, nervous tone !;
a little tonic, less work and rest No organ
lc trouble, some little fun 'tional disturbance
OF no consequence L could not always think
with clearness my memory occasionally was
impaired, and | would forget names. dates
and faces"
He fell into Respondent moods. lost his
taste taste Tor society, amusements, labor and
uncomfortable. he died.
Thousands allow themselves to diff along
in this awful way. There is absolutely but
one way to escape, and that is by using the
great discovery of Prof. Phelps, of Dart
mouth College, known as Paine's Celery
Compound. 1t is most certain help for the
nervous system, the most absolute preyenta-
tive Of all its dangers ever known to the
world. 1t soothes, it quiets, it relieves, 1t
strengthens, it tones the system and enriches
the blood. 1t is indeed Godsend to over
worked men and women and all who are eX-
hausted by the great strains and sudden pres
sures which are constantly brought to bear
upon them. You cannot afford to be without
