RUTLAND, VT, Feb. 5, 1891.
To the Editor:
l have a marvellous communication
to make and that feel II my duty 10
send 10 you for publication, much As 1
dislike seeing my name IN print.
For three years have been able 10
walk bat very little, and IT was sell
dom that could SIT up over half a day
at time. None of the physicians
seemed 10 understand my case, some
calling it neuralgia or rheumatism.
while others said that my sutferngs
were due TO ulcers. Any way, none OF
them helped me. and after spending
hundreds of dollars became utterly
discouraged.
| wen, finally to New York, where
for two months | was under the care Of
one OF the most eminent physicians OF
that city. But my sickness and help
lessness were not bettered. Ny nus
band was talking TO friend. Mr.. w.
ii. Greene. station agent at Burlington,
VT, about my unfortunate condition,
and Mr.. Greene strongly urged him to
have me try Paine's Celery Compound.
| used three bottles, and with so much
benefit that | continued its use. Today
| walked down town, half mile or
more. did some shopping, called upon
a friend, and then walked home. | am
doing all my homework, something l
have not done before in years.
My restoration to health is solely due
to Paine's Celery Compound. Ii 10 this
medicine that has changed me from q
suffering, helpless woman TO my pres
ent condition of health and strength. l
hope you will publish this letter and
spread as widely as possible the knowl-
edge OF means that will bring health
and happiness to homes where sickness
and suffering make life burden.
Respectfully yours,
MR. c. +. CLEAvELAND.
The above letter isremarkable enough
in itself, but the most astonishing thing
incident was brought out in our investl-
CATION. Mr.. II. l. Dillenback, the busi-
ness manager Of this paper, upon see-
ing the above letter said:
at is true beyond a question. /
know the Compound of which the lady
speaks, and have taken 1t more or less
during the last six months, not for any
specific malady, but at times when my
nerves and brain were overtaxed and
when L felt somewhat worn out by
some unusual pressure of business.
"The result has convinced me that
Paine's Celery Compound is just that
one form OF tonic that all busy news
paper men so often feel the need OF
and IN the absence of which too many
resort TO alcoholic stimulant for tenn
porary aid; and the Compound in no
way clouds the brain and leaves no un-
desirable effects behind it. For that
form of sieeplessness arising from over.
work combined with worry and anxiety,
the Compound in my case has been an
excellent remedy.
my wife, whose nerves are not
strong, and who mas had the expert
ence OF many mother oxertaxed by
the care of young and very active chill
dren, commends the Compound in en-.
thusiastic terms. 1t certainly has done
very much to tone up her nervous sys-
tenn, to stimulate her appetite and 70
improve her general health; and do
not know of any other remedy she has
ever used that has done SO much for
her as Palne's Celery Compound.
This is the first time l ever com.
mended a proprietary remedy; but
feel it is matter of simple justice to
say what have"
