Ex-Depu.y Collector of Internal Reye-
nue. Murphy. Who Guarded His
Records, Speaks in Praise of
Paine's Celery Compound.
EX>Collector of internal revenue
Thomas F. Murphy of Maine, was
brought into prominence all over the
| country during President Cleveland's
first administration by refusing to
peruse his records, heartily endorses
Paine's celery compound.
Mr.. Murphy is d keen observer.
He is writer of no mean ability,
has been employed as editor and ed
itorial writer on sever,l papers, is
recognized as forcIble and conyin,
cling speaker, aud i universally
liked. At present he represents q
big Boston house on the road, where
his warm geniality makes him wells
come to every hotel aud railway
train.
In the smoking compartment of a
parlor car last week he was priising
Paine's celery compound to fellow
passenger. The person to whom he
addressed his conversation had been
laid up with the grip. The malady
left him in a bad way, a sort of de-
preston of spirits and q dlsIncllna>
ton for business.
Il felt the same way said Mr.
Murphy. After wrestling a week
with the grip it left me depressed
and weak. One fight of stairs was
enough to make me puff and wheeze
like a leaky bellows A mile walk
would almost floor me. Headaches
began the moment I got out of bed,
and | felt about as mean as any one
could for the whole day. Hearing
SO much about Paine's celery CONS
pound | made up my mind TO try it,
and I'll tell you how it worked. 1t
was like close applications of sooth-
ing lotions to scorched finger.
After a few doses | found that on
retiring | soon dropped into sound,
refreshing sleep. In less than a
week | was myself again. My eyes,
which are none to strong at their
best, which burned and ached till
began taking Paine's celery CONS
pound, assumed their normal condi-
ton and really seemed stronger than
before the grip marked me for a
victim. l can walk five miles now
and feel none the worse for it.

Capt. Crawford and Fire Committee

Capt. r.. r. Crawford and the fire
committee of the Winston Aldermen
have Glitch" over the removal of "A

that the city ordinance forbade the
repair or removal of wooden buildings
within the fire limits, unless permits
sion was granted by the Aldermen.
Capt. Crawford says the committee
did not know where he expected to
move the small structure when the
policeman was instructed to have the
work stopped. Capt. Crawford has to
do something with the house in order
to make room for the brick building
to be erected there. 1t was his inten-
tion to move it on the old public
school lot on Fourth street.

A Newspaper Remedy.

A widely quoted remedy for the
relief of appendicitis, this old suffer
ing and danger With the new name,
is sweet oil, taken internally, from
one to two ounces administered
every three hours until the pain and
fever are relieved. In addition, the
patient should be kept in bed and
hot poultices applied over the seat
of pain. 1t is said that this trouble
is not infrequently experienced and
recovered from and the sufferer never
knows it. OF course, if the inflam-
nation lasted long and spread, its
character would declare itself; but
natures first impulse is toward a
cure and very often she accomplishes
it without help.
