This is. in a nutshell. why Paino's
celery compound is the remarkable
remedy that it is for curing diseases due
to enfeebled nerve power, such as neu-
ralgia, rheumatism, dyspepsia, kidney
and liver complaints.
Digestion is distinctly under the con-
troll Of the nervous system, and when
the nerves are upderfed and in q semi-
paralyzed condition the stomach b.
comes little better than heated re-
cep;acle in which tho food Is not digest
ed. but undergoes a sort OF fermentation,
which gives rise 10 nervous dyspepsia
govt, etc., the heart weakens. strength
departs and life becomes a burden.
1t is Just this craving of starved nerves
for better nutrition that Paine's celsry
compound quickly and fully meets. IL
causes the blood to free itself OF every
particle of poisonous humor.
The first bottle of Paine's celery com.
pound starts the tired out, run down"
man or woman fairly on the road to
firm health.
Says Mrs. G. T., Prunerman OF Dover,
n. H.: Il was run down and felt very
tired all the time. was not able TO do
my work, and had not been since baby
came to us. / took bottle of a certain
but it did me no good. Ny
sister came TO mo and advised me to get
a bottle of Paine's celery compound. I
was discouraged ard had no faith IN
BY father went aad got the
to try and see ii It would not
do me good. Before l had taken one
half of tho bottle felt as well AZ ever,
and 1 have done my own work ever
since without any trouble"
Hers is tha experience Of Thousands
of others.

April-windows and doors may now
be opened. A note of preparation is ap-
parent in every household.
Spring means to the average woman
extraordinary exeriion. 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
thousands of women are sure TO overtax
their strength. Hosts of too anxious
wives and mothers sacrafics health and
future usefulness to this fearful moloch
of spring cleaning.
April 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 nerv-
Gus prostration and weakness of some
vital organ.
After great strain on the system,
Paine's celery compound, the great mod
ern nerve and blood remedy, best re-
stores 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 thst life, re-
covery from Hines. 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.
