Spring means to the average woman extra
ordinary exertion. Garments must be made
over for the new season, the long winters
account with dirt and dust must be settled
even at the expense of diminished vitality
and shortened life.
With such strain on body and mind thou
sands of women are sure to overtaX their
strength. Hosts of too anxious wives and
mothers sacrifice health and future useful
ness to this fearful moloch of spring cleaning.
May is by far the hardest month for the
women of the house. The long siege of
winter leaves them little strength for such
excessive labor, and when the severe strain
is over many find they have been living on
their nerves. and are on the road to nervous
prostration and weakness of some vital organ.
After great strain on the system, Paine's
celery compound, the great modern nerve
and blood remedy, best restores vigor and
strength to the body. Men and women,
run down, weak and nervous feel very soon
an increased power for work and enjoyment
All have the true instinct that life, re-
covery from illness and the maintenance of
health come from perfect nutrition. Paine's
celery compound reaches the very origin of
nervous weakness, as well as diseases of the
liver, kidneys and stomach, 1t brings to
the million of nerve cells all over the body
the exact food they need to become again
healthy, vital tissues.
This is, in a nutshell, why Paine's celery
compound is the remarkable remedy that it
is for curing diseases due to enfeebled nerve

p 'psia. kidney and liver complaints.
Digestion is distinctly under the control
of the nervous system, and when these
nerves are underfed and in a sem-paralyzed
condition, the stomach becomes little better
than heated receptacle in which the food
is not digested, but undergoes a sort of fer
mentation, which gives rise to nervous dys-
pepsia, govt, etc, the heart weakens,
strength departs and life becomes burden
1t is just this craving of starved nerves
for better nutrition that Psine's celery com

4 GREAT CIL-IMITY


Ruin and Desolation Widespread.
THE recent earthquakes in Venezuela
were much more serious than at first re-
ported. 1t was several days before the re-
ports reached Caracas, the capital, and
even now it is impossible to state with even
a degree of accuracy the amount of prop
erty destroyed or number of lives lost.
Certain it is, however, that ruin and DESC
lation are spread over the entire western
section of Venezuela and that the suffering
will be very great. Taking into considera-
ton the fact that the entire city of Merida
was destroyed, the loss in Merida alone was
supposed to be at least seven or eight
thousand, and in the entire republic about
ten or twelve thousand These figures are
being gradually reduced, however and it
is said the first shock was slight, enabling
the people to escape before the more vio-
lent disturbance leveled the city

The Government Fears a Popular Uprising.
LATE advices indicate that a popular up
rising is feared in Servia. Great excite
ment prevails among the people, who are
indignant at the arbitrary and oppressive
acts of the government in prohibiting meet
ings which it was proposed to hold to pro-
test against the reinstatement in power of
ex- king Milan. The government, in giving
notice that such meetings would not be
allowed, declared that troops would be used
to prevent them. The radicals, however,
declare their intentions to hold meetings,

TILUIBLE RECORDS


THE United States bonded warehouse
and offices of the appraisers in the six
story granite building bounded by State,
India and Central streets, Boston, was
burned last week. The loss will exceed
100000. All the records of the port of
Boston, from the British evacuation to
1889, were destroyed. These were priceless
and the loss is irreparable When the
French spoliation claims were being re-
viewed these records were of immense
value. The valuable records destroyed run
back prior to the regular formation of the
government
