What Can | Do for Her Health and
Happiness
TWO MOTHERS SUFFERINGS.
What a Son and a Daughter Have
to Say.

There's something about the simple word
"mother'' which touches a tender spot In
every heart, and the thought that i" she's
somebody's mother" has often saved a wo-
man from insult, and brought her help and
sympathy.
"God can give US but one mother" And
every son, every daughter, yes, every mother
herself, should use all means possible to save
suffering, gain comfort, and increase the
mothers happiness. The one who can aid In
this deserves the highest reward. A mother
of q family, In a recent issue of the Boston
Globe, seems to have found the true cause
for much of the ill-health OF our mothers.
She says: 'There are many causes for sick
ness In woman-irregular and improper eat.
Ing Is one; overwork Is another, and a most
potent one; and In regard to this, l would
call your attention to the report OF the COM
missioners Of public institutions. You will
find In Boston hospitals that the principal
cause OF insanity among the females admitted
was overw0rk. You will also find that In the
occupation of persons admitted, 'mong the
females, "a were housewives. Ten was the
highest number Of any other occupation, and
were dOmestics."
EFFECTS OF OVER WORK.
Let us see what are the warnings preceding
this complete breakdown, First, perhaps. Is
headache, distress after eating, a tired feel
Ing, trouble with the eyes. and The fair skin
Is broken out. If these symptoms come at
this season of the year, many people go to
the druggists for a bottle of sarsaparilla or
simple tonic, thinking that this will drive
away all tired and sick feelings. But NO!
The sad effects of overwork cannot be re.
moved in this way. Something more Is de-
manded. The brain and nerves need strength
and relief as well as the blood. There Is but
one discovery yet known that Is a food for
brain, nerves and blood. This pure and pos
tive means of relief Is Paine's Celery Com
pound. 1t Is used In the families Of all ranks
conditions of men-from the richest to
the humblest, in the home of the mechanic
chant and professional man.
DAUGHTERS LETTER.
While it has no equal as ''spring medicine"
for men and woman, young and old. the
following extract from a letter recently
written by Mrs. E. o. Kendrick. of Putney,
W., is especially timely In this connection.
She writes MY mother, 70 years old, was
quite miserable, very weak, and III with
heart trouble. She commenced to use Paine's
Celery Compound, and gained strength rapid.
Iy. She now sleeps well nights, has a good
and says nothing ever did her as
much good as the Compound"
A sons gratitude to the remedy that cured
bis mother is shown In the following letter
Mr.. A. l.. Smith. S21 Twelfth avenue.
Minneapolis, who Is with the large
md wel-known firm of VIM. Donaldson II
Co. He says: "My mother was all run down
rs they call it, and suffered terribly from
chronic rheumatism and nervous prostration.
She was also sadly troubled with sleepless-
less nights. After using three bottles OF
oaine's Celery Compound, she sleeps well.
Ter rheumatism Is gone except In one finger
ONT, and she feels stronger than she has be-
In a great many years"
1t Is seldom that greater love or more de-
lotion Is shown than that existing between /.
he mother and her children. And it Is GER
ainly cause for joy that the weakened nerves
he exhausted strength, and the failing health
which come to so many mothers can be re-
tOred or sustained In this pure and pleasant
way.
