Principal Camps Youth.

One OF the foremost educators i'll Amer
lea is Principal L. L. Camp, of the
Dwight school in New Haven, Conn
His pupils are scattered east and west,
and many Of them occupy responsible
positions in business and professional
life which they have won in no small
measure because of their early instruc-
ton and training under him.
Prof Camp taught first in Meriden,
then as principal of the Hunting gram
mar school in New Britain, then as prin-
cipa of the Norwalk Union and high
school, Yaes wel-known preparatory
institution, and then under the elms of
New Haven. He was one of the first
principals to see the advantage and
value of manual training in public
schools and organized classes of boys
who received instruction in the use of
wood working tools in room fitted up
in the basement Of the school. Prof.
Camp is most exemplary citizen, and
as man among men his views on mat
tiers of public interest have been always
worthy of attention. He has represent
ed one of the best sections OF the city as
alderman for several terms.
Prof Camp is an active, progressive
man, who has learned the secret of keep
ing young, in spite Of advancing years,
and he has probably given no more
valuable advice in the nearly two score
years he has labored in educational
fields than is contained in the following
letter, recently published in the papers of
New Haven, where there is a great de
mand for the extraordinary remedy he
refers to. He says in his letter, referring
to the famous compound that was first
prescribed by Dartmouth's famed ply
sician
II have taken Paine's celery compound
not because | was sick, but because
wanted to keep well, and can do it best
by the use of this helper ofnature.'
The superintendent of schools of
Naugatuck, Conn, William w, Abbott, a
Yale graduate, had an experience that
exemplifes the marvellous power of
Paine's celery compound to restore those
who are in the depths of disease and
miseryi He has written for publication
the following statement under date of
May %:
"a year ago this spring combination
of circumstances conspired to undermine
my health, and last fall the confinement
to the school-room and attention to dis
ciplne attacked what little health had
left, so that by Christmas was physical
ly a wreck. | had no ambition to do
anything. felt unable to move, and
was truly miserable, and each day
thought that probably it would be the
last that should leave my bed. 1t was
only by the exercise of the greatest will
power that l could hold up my head
When was so low was advised to try
Paine's celery compound, and did so.
After taking one bottle | was uncertain
whether was really deriving benefit or
not. After using the second bottle,
however, found that my health was
certainly improved. have now taken
four bottles, and my restoration to
strength and health is due entirely to
the use of this medicine"
The best physicians unite in the state
ment that Paine's celery compound is of
superior value for the weak and debili-,
tated, the nervous. sleepless, and all whoS
are run down. 1t makes people well,
gives them new strength and new life
1t is pure and harmless, and hence is
used in hundreds of families for the chill
dren and the aged.
