DOES A WORLD OF GOOD.
Why Mr.. S. G. Dimiok Recon-
mends Paine's Celery Compound.

Sureeon-General Hamilton is authority
for the statement that there is no more
prevalent condition of mental derange-
nent than the inability to sleep.
The state of excitement in which peo-
pie of the present day live, the demands
of business, the struggle for wealth, po-
siton, or even bare living all of which
were never so great as now, produce
sound and healthy sleep to many an
imposslbilty.
And then how easy things go wrong /!
And how easily, as thousands know,
everything can be made to go right
again.
All the functions of the body are under
the control of the nerves. And even
sound organs work to cross purposes
when contradictory and confusing de-
mands are made upon them by tired,
plaved-out nerves. 1t is because Paine's
celery compound is true nerve food
that it makes people well. Here is a
case in point. Mr.. S. c. Dimick ofBowl-
ing Green, Ohio, writes:
81 broke down from overwork some
thing over three years ago. Our family
physician said that my trouble was
heart disease, and said that had organ
ic trouble.
after treating me six weeks and be-
coming satisfied that he did not under
stand my case, visited doctor No. 2.
He told me that had no organic trou-
Bile with the heart, that my heart
trouble was sympathetic, that was
worn out, and my whole trouble was
nervous prostration. He said what |
needed, and what would do me more
good than medicine, was absolute rest
and change Of climate
Not being fully convinced that he
was correct in his views, consulted doc
tor No. 4, this time homeopathic He
agreed in the main with No. 2, the only
essential difference being that he thought
one lung was not right.
II decided to try change of climate,
and spent nearly three months in Mime
sofa. The following winter | had an
attack of the grip, which left me in
low condition, and the last season was
able to do but little work.
Last winter had another attack of

fined to the bed. After recovering sufii-

several bottles and it has done me a
world Of good | have done more work
than have done before in three years.
Il am surely gaining in strength and
power of endurance. am already much

pound shall be fully restored"

one hundred and fifty teet in eeva-
ton, is the largest in the world and
is called the "Arch Of the Place de
lEtoile." The portion OF the city
nearest us was formerly divided in
to the two villages of Passy and
Auteuil; and the latter was the
favorite retreat ofRacine, Latontaine,
Franklin and Count Rumford; and
here Moliere composed great part
OF his works. The vast city upon
which we gaze is the home of the
arts, the aesthetic center of the
world. Since Rome was mistress, to
no city has been assigned in so rapid
sequence such tremendous array
of events; feats at arms, siege upon
siege without, civil strife and the
horrors of famine within; greed of
glory and conquest; to day brilliant
victory, to morrow humiliation and
despair
Nowhere has more heroic purpose,
sublime endurance and pathetic
resignation unto death, been seen
among men, than has fallen in the
course Of centuries to the lot OF this
tickle, this merciless, this Paris
the peerless, this unrivaled city on
the Seine S. 0. T.
