little difficulty IN convincing their
friends of the remarkable power of
Paine's celery compound to restore
their energy, renew their vigor, and
make them strong and well.
Here is a letter from Mr.. Max Burg
helm, the well-known president and
manager of the Cincinnati Frele Presse
Company. Mr.. Burgheim writes.
"The following statement may be
of interest. / have been suffering
from sleeplessness, insomnia, fol-
many years, and although I have
tried almost everything to get cured,
consulting the best physicians, and
even going several times to Europe,
everything was in vain.
"I did not have a nights rest for al
most six years; that is to say, I could
not sleep for two hours in succession
in a single night; you can easily i'm
agine what the effect on me had been.
"After spending a fortune trying for
relief I had given up almost all hope,
and when I first read about Paine's
celery compound 1 did not have much
faith in anything. But after having
used SO many remedies and consulted
50 many physicians in this country
and abroad I felt like giving the COM
pound a trial. The result was truly
wonderful.
"The very first night about six
months ago that I tried Paine's celery
compound you a imagine my joy
when 1 found that I had slept six hours
in succession, a thing that I had not
been blessed with for 80 many years.
/ continued the use for three months
with the same happy result, and al
though / was fearful lest the malady
would come back on me, I can now
say that although I have not taken
the compound for months I do sleep
every night peacefully and without
interruption.
"You can easily imagine what this
means for a man who works fourteen
hours every day in the year and has
charge of two large newspapers. 1
consider my cas- a most remarkable
one and should be glad if this state
ment should be the means of helping
others who have suffered like / in the
same untold agonies, and for this Ca
son I give you full permission to make
use of this statement In any way you
choose"

There is much agitation over the
question of q third term for President
Cleveland. As he has made no dec
laration of such intentions and has no
boomers at work, and as none but his
enemies and the office holders are be-
coming excited over the matter, it is
to be concluded, first, that he is not
a candidate for a third term, and sec
ond, that some people fear that, If
nominated, he would make a very
dangerous antagonist. AS q matter Of
fact, which Is no secret, Mr.. Cleveland
is not, has never been and will not be
q candidate for a third term. His
opinions or convictions with regard to
this question r about as well known

He admits that lump gold and gold
coin are equivalents, but adds that
the reason is the law which grants
gold the right of conversion into coin.
Referring to Atkinson's demand for
the repeal of legal tender laws, he said
1t would leave courts no power to en-
force contracts, because they would
lack authority to determine which
was money.

that he is buying corn, oats and hay

Hisey says that all the Mexico grain
buyers are not only now paying, but
intend to pay the highest market price
in cash for all kinds of grain. He says
that the grain bought up to date will
lose him money, but he intends to
keep on buying whenever he thinks
he can get out with a small margin.
He says the impression which prevails
in some quarters that Mexico grain
buyers do not pay as much as buyers
from other points is entirely errone-
GUS.
