secured by bonds given by the empoye II Is I'M

long hours Of the day and are returning homo
weary There are little boys and girls who, per-
haps, ought to be In school instead Of in stores
and Offices but who are obliged 10 work.
There is seldom any JOY among all this num-
ber although they are returning 10 a place
called home
What Is the reason?
Because in most cases they are worn out; they
weary; their nerves are unstrung and often
they are respondent.
Can you not readily learn valuable lesson
from these facts? Can you not see that in order
10 preserve health and secure happiness. you
must keep your nerves in perfect condition? DO
you not know that jcience has made great dis
covery for this very purpose and that after years
of thought and experimenting Professor Phelps
was able to discover that great vitaliZer that
great nerve food, Paines celery compound?
There are thousands Of men and women in
New York city alone who are kept in good
health and strength. in spite Of the many trying
duties they have to perform each day, entirely
by the Of this great nerve food, and 4 valua-
bic hint is afforded you, that YOU perhaps. may
be able to make your own health better and your
life longer by the same great means.
