RUTLAND, VI, May 5, 1891
To the Editor:
have . marvellous communication
10 make and one that / feel Il my duty
tosend to you for publication. much as
l dislike seeing my name in print.
For three years have been able to
walk but very little, and j, was seldom
that could cit up over half day at a
time. None of the physicians seemed
to understand my case, some calling II
neuralgia or rheumatism, while Others
said that my sutferings were due TO
ulcers. Any way none of them helped
me and after spending hundreds of
dollars became utterly discouraged.
finally went 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 hus-
hand was talking to friend Mr.. ". III.
Greene, station agent at Burlington,
VT, about my unfortunate condition,
and Mr.. Greene strongly urged him TO
try Paine's Celery Compound. l used
three bottles, and with so much benefit
that l continued its use. Today
walked down town, half mile or moro,
did some shopping, called upon q friend,
and then walked home. am doing all
my homework, something have not
done before in years.
My restoration 10 health is solely due
to Paine's Celery Compound. 1t is this
medicine that has changed me from .
suffering, helpless woman to my pres
ent condition Of health and strength.

spread as widely as possible the knowl-
edge OF means that will bring health
and happiness to homes where sick
ness and suffering make life burden.
Respectfully yours,
MRS. 4. 4. CLEAyELANp.
The above letter is remarkable enough
in itself, but the most astonishing
thing in this connection is that a..strik-
ing coincidence WAS brought out IN our
investigation. Mr.. X. I. Dillenback,
the business manager of this paper,
seeing the above letter said:
''It Is true beyond q question.
know the Compound OF which the
lady speaks and have taken It more or
less during the last six months, not for
any specific maiady, 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 mas convinced me that
Paine's Celery Comound is just that
one form Of tonic that all busy news
paper men 90 often feel the need of,
and in the absence of which too many
resort to alcoholic stimulant for tempo
rary7a aid, and the Compound in no way
clouds the brain and leaves no undesir-
able effects behind it. For that form of
sleepiessness arising from overwork,
combined with worry and anxiety, the
Compound in my case has been an ex-
cellent remedy.
"My wife. whose nerves are not
strong. and who has had the expert
ence of many q mother overtaxed by
the care of young and very active chill

very much to tone up her nervous sys-

improve her general health; and do

ever used that has done SD much for
her as Paine's Celery Compound.
This is the first time ever recon-
mended a proprietary remedy; but l
feel that it is a matter Of simple justice
to say what have"
