The world has had in II just Ii decisive
battles.
But every man has in his lifetime more
decisive battles than this.
The important epochs in mans life that
settle for him wealth, position. and often. life
itself, come without warning.
Weakness. INDIGESTION and lack Of nerve
force at these turning points is fatal. In long
and doubtful sickness. when life itself
trembles in the balance, a little more strength
and power of resistance to disease makes the
difference between life and death.
Thin people with depleted. diseased blood
run big risks Careful men and women all
over the country are building up their systems
and storing the nerve center> with energy now
il is spring. They are taking that remarkable
blood purifier and nerve food. Paine's celery
compound.
Ii cannot he repeated too often that the
blood Is the fountain which supplies every
part of the body. II this life-giying medium
lacks vigor aud richness. nerves. brain. heart,
kidneys. and lungs Immediately suffer. The
weakst spot will give way first.
