of the disease that follows overwork.
A poor appetite for breakfast, at times
complete dstaste for all kinds of food (even
the little reluctantly taken producing gen.
eral discomfort) - these symptoms demand
sober thought. To-day it is known that
the nerve centers govern all the processes
throughout the body. Perfect digestion and
assimilation require that the nerves work in
harmony with the digestive apparatus. And
it was on this recent highest medical infor-
nation that Paine's celery compound, the
medicine that makes people well, was first
prepared. To all who are overworked, the
following letter from Mr.. T. j. Moore tells
story that should be read and needed. 1t
is from one of the plain people;

results obtained from the use of Paine's
celery compound. Previous to its use I

to continue its use and give the medicine

bottle, and | have almost entirely regained
my old-time health and vigor. My ailment

trustee of the painters union. HE stands

Blade
careful man or woman either keeps
Paine's celery compound on hand, or knows
just where he can easily procure it.
1t is the remedy that makes people well.
1t has shown itself to be an ideal remedy in
cases where nutrition is an important factor,
and where digestion is feeble.
1t is AS far superior to the ordinary nerve
tonics and sarsaparilas as the diamond is to
the ordinary glass. Try it and be convinced.
