stronger pulse, fuller heart beats and a
Frightening OF the spirits. Sleep be-
comes sound and refreshing, and rheu-
matism, sciatica, neuralgia and other re-
suits OF an underfed nervous system dis
appear.
The world of worn out, nervous. feeble
men and women is indebted to Prof. Ed
ward E. Phelps, Nj. D., LII. D., of Dart
mouth Medical School, for the discovery
OF this great nerve regulator and blood
purifier-the best and final fruit OF long
life devoted to the study OF weakness OF
nerve tissues, and its natural remedy.
Paine's celery compound gently stlrs
the workings OF all the vital organs, leeds
the nerves when waste in their tissues
has exceeded the repair, and thus relieves
nervous prostration, dyspepsia and dis
orders of the liver, kidneys and heart.
1t builds up wasted LOdleS, trees weak
nerves and nerve centers OF lrrltablllty
by supplying rich, abundant blood TO
build uD the wOrn-out tissues. When
there is general debility, laSsItude, loss
of appetite aud lack OF interest In life
that comes at this season; when one looks
Wretehed, and teels so all over, this great
modern remedy goes straight to the
source of the weakness and Immediately
gives strength and vigor of mind and
body such as must follow perfect nutrition
of every organ and part OF the body.
The lives OF thousands Of men and
women past middle age who think it time
to stop work, might be prolonged to many
years OF usefulness if they would only
use Paine's celery compound, the great
modern blood and nerve restorative. 1t
will give new life, am mbition and cheer
fulness, as it did to Lewis c. Crossen OF
North Cohocton, n. Y, who writes:
'Paines Celery Compound has done
me a great deal of good. l have been
afflicted with insomnia, nervous chills,
loss OF strength and poor digestion for
some time, also loss of memory, and all
of these troubles are much better now. |

HOW TO CARE FOR THE AGED!
Summer With Its Debilitating
Weather Is Here.

The Best of Thought and Care Is Due
to the Old People-For Them to Be
Strong and Happy, Refreshing sleep
is Necessary-Paine's Celery Com
pound Must Now Be Taken.
Young people in the flush of health are
apt to forget that the aged need help more
frequently than they, to ward OFT weak
ness and to check disease.
Because there are no symptoms of any
specific disease they think nothing can be
done. They forget that the weaknesses OF
old age are general weaknesses, diff
Guilty of the slow organs of digestion and
assimilation to properly feed the nerves
and body.
The one great need, as hot, debilitating
weather comes on, is for new, rich blood,
free from the poisonous humors that IN
yarlably result from stagnant condition.

compound quickly sends new blood TO
