ant supply of nutriment for every It's
sue of the body is the purpose for which
Paine's celery compound was first pre-
pared. This rapid production of fresh
nervous energy and pure blood was
the one endeavor of Professor Edward
E. Phelps long study of the cause of
nervous exhaustion.
The result of his life work was Paine'S
celery compound, that remarkable rem
edy that permanently and speedily
cures disease. 1t is the greatest nerve
regulator and blood purifier Of this
present century.
For men and women out of health
Paine's celery compound should be
tried without fail. 1t has meant health
in place of sickness in thousands Of
cases that seemed hopeless.
The fact that this is the season when
rheumatism most painfully shows
itself, makes the following communica-
ton from j. NJ. Tobias, of South Oma-
ha, Neb.. of special interest. Mr.. To-
bias writes:
Il suffered for years with rheumatism
in the joints of my hands and arms,
SO that ! could perform my work only
with the greatest difficulty. I used all
kinds of medicines without result.
Finally 1 secured bottle OF Paines
celery compound, and 1t benefited me
at once. Paine's celery compound cer-
tainly cures rheumatism!'
