"The most miserable man." says the
eminent DR.. Weir Mitchell, sis the one
who is all the time anxious about his
health and fearful of a relapse to some old
disorder"
The cure of kidney disease must go
deep. 1t Is no superficial disorder Pure,
healthy blood, loaded with the richest pos
sible supply of reconstructive material,
must be sent through the innermost parts
of the suffering organs.
For all kidney troubles there Is an in
fallible remedy in Paine's celery com
pound. Its unfailing power to check at
once the progress of disease, makes the
effects perceptible at once.
Mr.. c. II. Stoddard, of Coventry Mills,
N. Y, whose picture is given above, is a
well known citizen. His strong testimony
in favor of Paines celery compound, the
only medicine that could cure him, Is
vouched for by many of his townspeople

of Pane's celery compund is worth ten of
Sarsaparilla."
Why not try 1t?
In every drug store in the country you
can obtain Pane's celery compound.
It's use by thousands of people in every
state and county and city in the land tells
something of what it Is accomplishing.
Every year adds a ring of increase, TAX

discovery of great scientist and philan-
thropist, Prof Phelps, of Dartmouth col

Paine's celery compound is the tried dis

An accident. which resulted in the
death of Thomas Toban, the 3-year-old
child of Patrick Toban, of 2O4 North
Grant avenue, occurred yesterday
morning at about 1890 o'clock. Johh
Moran left team of horses attached
to a heavy sleigh standing on Grant
avenue while he went to his nome
near by for lunch. a few minutes
later two Toban boys, aged ana .
years, came along the road with a hand
sleigh on which the younger brother
was seated.
As they were sliding down small in
cline, at the bottom of which stood the
horse and sleigh, the small coaster be-
came unmanageable and the elder TOO
an loosened his hold on the rope and
the young lad plunged unknowingly to
his doom.
As the sled neared the horse 1t turned
to the right and the young lad was
thrown under the horses legs. The
animal became frightened and began
to prance around. Although the boy
was clear of the horses heels, he was
unable to gain a place Of safety before
the heavy sled passed over his body
little below the chest The boys
mother witnessed the accident, but was
unable to reach him until after the
sleigh had passed She lifted her child
in her arms and carried him home.
DIR. Carroll was summoned, but the
child died in his mothers arms before
he arrived. DR.. Carroll made an eX-
animation and found that death result
ed from an internal hemorraghe caused
by the pressure of the sleigh ON the
boys stomach No blame could be att
tached TO the driver, who is brother
of the boys mother.
