DEAR SIR:-I do not know what impeis me TO

in the Affections of humanity. Isaw in paper
that you and your wife had found relief. and so
concluded to write You, as you said you would
gladly answer any one.
/ was born in Cambridge, Mass. was grad
uated from the Haverhin High School, four years
ago. since which time have been in poor health.
Not that have been really ILL but ailing.-a half
way between sickness. I have been doctoring
ever since graduated, with different physicians.
1 am better in some ways, worse in others.
First used to have terrific ache at the base Of
the brain-at the medulla oblongata, and also up
and down the spine, but that wore away and gave
place to a stomach trouble which the doctor called
dyspepsia. 1 took medicine and dieted for two
years. Well my stomach grew slightly better. But
next my nerves began to trouble me, and then the
doctor said had nervous dyspepsia, and have
been taking medicine for that until the present
time.
But Brother Crosby, l don't get the help and
strength that young girl in her twenties ought to
receive. have taught school four terms, of and
on. like it dearly and 1t is struggle for me to
give it up: but give IL up must, and duty to my
Maker and myself tells that must act as well as
pray.
have a weak, languid feeling as tho could
scarcely move unless made mighty effort. Some
days feel quite well, then again cannot sit on my
plano stool without feeling dizzy and as tho in
spite of myself should fall off.
Let me sit in church, at divine service, and II
get conscious of self the blood will rush to my head
and it seems tho should fly, cannot sit still
at such times. and what should be to me hour Of
spiritual blessing is an hour of unrest. am conf
dent that it is my nerves. caused by overwork men,
tally.
Now what is your candid opinion of that Paine's
celery compound you used? Do you think it will
help me?
Mama seems favorably inclined toward 1t, but
you have used it and know the value oft.
Is the effect lasting? Or is it merely stimulant
the effects wearing away as soon as you cease tax
ing the medicine?
You are a stranger to me Tin one sense) but we
are both members of the same large family, and
know you will be interested as such.
Thanking you for your interest in all who do not
enjoy good health, of which 1 am one. remain
Yours sincerely, K.F., sANDowN, N. II.
CASTLE, N. Y, April II. 1892
Miss F., Sandocn, ~ H.:
1t gives me great pleasure to answer your letter
of inquiry about Paine's celery compound First
from your description, should say that Mrs.
Crosby was about like yousel, and the compound
cured her. When she began taking it she weighed
s6 pounds; now she weighs 116 pounds, and we
claim the compound did 1t.
Second, as for myself the physicians said that
had complication of ailments. but the most Of
them decided that 1t lumbago and nervous
prostration. One thing is certain, was very bad
ly off and suffered untold misery for long time
so nervous could not sleep. and many night was
obliged to sit up, for had such severe pains
could not lie down. 1 sincerely believe had 1 not
taken this medicine would not be alive to-day.
am now perfectly well, have pain in my back,
and my nerves all right. When began using
Paine's celery compound I weighed l3s. now
weigh 152.
Third, when came here in September, one Of
the young ladies in my Bible class very poorly
with stomach trouble in fact was sick In bed. She
began taking Paine's celery compound through my
and now does most of the housework for
six in the family.
wish you would give 1t thorough trial. for
think you will get relief. consider it the best
medicine ever made. 1 speak from what know 1t
has done for me and many others. I could write
you pages, telling you what 1t has done for friends.
receive many letters of inquiry about it. I am
not paid for answering these letters, and have no
interest in the business. 1 am simply trying to
help humanity and feel that while helping people
by recommending the compound, am only preach
ing the gospel with the pen, and doing unto others
Is I would wish to be done by.
Trusting that you will find relief and be spared
yet many years. remain
Yours sincerely,
REV. B. s. CROSBY.
