Paine's celery compound is not a patent

Paine's celery compound is not patent medicine.
 No class of professional men are more conservative, more careful in giving ad- vice, or more painstaking in finding out the real facts Of a case than physicians.
 Their recommendation in matters with which they are conyersant is trustworthy. When physicians of known repute not only prescribe and use, but also bring home Paine's celery compound for their own families, there can be no doubt of its high standing in the eyes of medical men in general.
 This is what busy. successful practition- CTS are doing these spring days all over the country.
 Paine's celery compound is prepared, as they all well know, from the formula of the foremost physician of this century, Prof. Edward B. Phelps, M. D., IL. D., of Dartmouth medical school. Among medical men there is an absolute certainty as to just what Paine's celery compound is the vast number of cases where it has made people well has been published in the med cal journals of the country.
 Paine's celery compound stands today as the one thoroughly authenticated remedy for weak mess and debility due to malnutri- ton of the nervous system ana impure blood.
 This hard working, earnest class of pro- fessional men have never been slow in &C., cepting Paine's celery compound.
 They declare that 1t gives the tired body every possible chance to get back to a healthy condition. It cures nervous weak ness, heart palpitation, general lack of strength, and all forms oi weakness; rests and restores the iaded, fatigued brain and nerves, because 1t provides for the abnor- nal waste of these parts by an unusually

D., of Poultney, Vt. writes: "I was run down from re- peated attacks of the grip, aud my. stom- ach, bowels and kidneys were out of order. l had no strength, energy or ambition to think or act, and was excessively nervous and irritable. After taking the first bottle of Paine's celery com pound 1 felt better. The third bottle restored me to my usual health and strength, and feel ten years younger than beiore.'
 Dr. William Brown of Fredonia, ks., ssIt has wonderfully improved my general health.'
 W. Allen Hubbard, M. D.. Boston, Mass, writes: "I have prescribed the remedy in a number of cases where the blood was impoverished and the nerves weakened. The results have been SO satis- factory that do not hesitate to indorse Palne's celery compound"
 Similar testimonials literally by hun- dreds might be quoted. The high scien- tif attainments of A. Livezey, M. D., of Yardley, Pa., has made his statements authority on matters pertaining to health. He gives his personal experience, how he was cured of sleeplessness. J. W. Fergu- son, M. D., of Thayer, Ks., tells how 1t has cured him of dyspepsia, etc., etc. The sum total of the testimony of such men as these, as well as of the more celebrated ph ysicians whose letters have been pre- viously published in these columns, is that Paine's celery compound makes people weiII

prom pt supply of appropriate nerve food. It purities tue blood as nothing else can do.
 If every man and woman plagued with frequent headaches, and every business man made anxious by pain at the base of the brain and neuralgia twinges, would take Paine's celery compound the world would be frightened of vast deal of misery that ought never to be borne.
 The most advanced medical thought of the latter quarter of the nineteenth cen tury has prepared Paine's celery com pound to meet and overcome these troubles that are due to ill-fed, ill-reguiated nerves, and poor, thin blood.
 N. N. Leaneard, M. D., of Charlestown, 1, Mass, whose portrait appears above, one of the ablest physicians h the Boston dis trict, man of character and influence, says:
 ''After using Paine's celery compound for four or five years In my general prac- tice, can cheerfully recommend It. For catarrh of cad or stomach, for instance, it acts like charm. For women in many cases it is a blessing. For chronic rheu- matism it does give relief. Torpid liver, general debility, constipation, pains In stomach and loss of appetite It relieves, and is the best of remedies in general ner- vous prostration. I recommend 1t to many of my patients, believing. as l do, in It's real merits. believe 1t a public blessing to invalids, and, as yet, not fully appre- clated.''
 J. c. Flynn, M. D., we!i'known Mich- igan physician, is but one of hundreds who prescribe Paine's celery compound because 1t cures. Writing from Warren, in that state, be says; "I use Paine's celery com pound freely in my practice as a nerve ionic, blood purifier and general tonic in all debiltated conditions of the system. I find it a fine thing for patients recovering from the grip, especially old people.''

RICH DEPOSITS OF GOLD AND aALENA UNI

 COLUMBUS CITY, April 5.-LSpecial Cor respondence. ]-Mr. J. w. Wise has made two very valuable discoveries in Marshall county. He has found gold in considerable quantities some fifteen miles up the Tennes> see river from this place, and large galena beds few miles below this point. The gold ore, he says, is worth at least s60 per ton. All that is necessary to develop these valuable mines is money, which he thinks capitalists will soon furnish. The galena is very valuable deposit of silver and lead.

AMERICAN CITIZENS
In Foreign Lands Whose Lives Are in Danger to Be Protected
 by Uncle Sam.

WksHINGToN, April 5.-Late last night Secretary Herbert cabied orders to Admiral Kirkland of the flagship San Francisco, now at Palermo, Sicily, to sail immediately for smyrna, Asia Minor, aud to have both vessels of his squadron visit Alexandria and Atlanta to confer with the United States consuls and resident American citi- gems, and if it Is found that there are good grounds for apprehensions expressed in these vicinities concerning the probable massacre ofChristians to intimate clearly to the responsible local authorities that the United States intends to afford full protec- tion to American citizens in that territory under its treaty guarantees.
 At the same time cablegram was sent to Captain O'Neil of the cruiser Marbiehead, , at Gibraltar, ordering hip 10 proceed with dispatch to Beirut, Syria, and there report to the admiral. The San Francisco and Marblehead have both been coaied ln the past few days, and as their comman nders re- ceived the urgent orders this morning, It is expected they will get under way imme- diately. The San Francisco, with her speed of twenty one knots, should cover the 500 miles to her destination in less than two days, and the Marblehead, having fre- quently. maintained seventeen knots, should run the entire length of the Med1- terranean in four days, at the rate of 400 miles per day.
 This display of force in the Turkish waters by the United States is declared at the state department to be due to the un- satisfactory delays that result from diplo- matic negotiations at tConstautinope.
 Although instructions have been sent to Minister Terrell to warn the sultan of the fears of American missionaries in smyrna and to demand that the Turkish govern ment shall take steps to prevent outrages, it has been deemed advisable, in view Of DaSt eXDorieQces. to make assurances Tor the protection of Americans doubly sure.

ABOUT PAYING DEBTS.
Importance OF Making Early Settle
ments-Pay Small Accounts First.

The Increased price Of cotton will enable
large number OF people to pay their bills 10
full, and to have something left to spend In
the purchase of such goods as may answer a
demand or please fancy.
In paying debts a good rule Is to pay the
small debts first. AS man would drown
with his nose an inch under water as quick
as If he were miles deep In the bosom OF the
ocean, 80 small debt may worry q man as
much as q larger one. The small debt Is gen.
orally owing to some poor or needy person
who will be more persistent and make more
annoyance than q creditor to whom thou
sand dollars Is due. The man with claim
for q large amount Is more apt to be lenient
than the man with little claim.
The lien or debt for advances on the crop
should be paid first. Then commence paying
other debts. beginning with the smallest. In
this way you will be relieved Of the greatest
number OF creditors who may be clamorous
for their money. For INSTANCE, pay your SUB; p
scription to the Press and Banner. 1t will
take only small amount OF money, and
then you can sleep with the consciousness
that you owe the editor nothing, and are
reading your own paper. Try this plan and
see how much better you will feel.
