Tho superintendent OF schools In Hauga-

marvellous power of Paine's celery compound
to restore those who are in the depths of dis
case and misery. He has written for publ
cation the following statement, under date OF
May -:
"A year ago this spring a combination Of
circumstances conspired to undermine my

Tho best physicians unite in the statement
that Pnines celery compound is Of superior
value for the weak and debilitatcd, tho ner-

hence is used in hundreds of families for the
