It purifie the Blood as
Nothing Else Can
Possibly Do.

As a spring remedy, Paine's celery
compound stands easily first in the care
full judgment of the physicians of this
country.
This remarkable discovery of Prof
Edward L. Phelps, NJ. D., LII. D., Of
Dartmouth college, is in fact SO certainly
first in the estimation of thinking men and
women in every calling throughout the
United States today that there can fairly
be said to be no second.
For strengthening the sick, restoring
the spent energies of those who have be
come nervOusly exhausted, for purifying
the blood and making people well, Paine's
celery compound has never yet been ap
preached by any sarsaparilla, tonic oil
nervine. 1t is as superior to them al
as strength is superior to weakness. The
remarkable results from the use of this
great remedy are today known at 1rsl
hand in every city and village in America
The people are today thoroughly salts
fed bg personal experience that Paine
celery compound makes people well.
Where the nerves have not been properly
fed and neuralgia, nervousness, inability
to sleep. rheumatism and such evidences
of debility have entered, Paine's celery
compound has created a new appetite
restored lost strength and given courage
new blood and strong, healthy will tC
live and get well. Try it.

NEWS AT WASHINGTON.

80
Washington, May J.-As Tar as cOulG
be learned the subject Of a cOmmercial
union, such as indicated in the above as
patch, has not been a question OF very
recent discussion here by the diplomatic
representatives of the South ana central
American republics. Union Of the Cen
trail American States is regarded by some
10 be desirable from the standpoint OF a
general proposition, but the formation OF
such a union that would contemplate the
prohibition Of the importation Of English
products and the closing of the Central
American ports to British bottoms is
regarded as highly improbable. 1t Is not
believed that any dispatches on this sub
iect have been received here.
DR.. GuZman, the Nicaraguan minister,
would discuss the matter but briefly and
then rather discouraged the idea Of the
formation Of such a union as that sug-
gested. He did not believe it was prob
able at this time, but thought it might
come in the course Of five or six years.
His whole manner seemed to be against
the probability Of the union.
Official confirmation of the evacuation
Of COrintO was received late this after
noon by DIR. GuZman. His information
was 50 very meagre and was simply that
the evacuation had taken place this morn
ing at 6 o'clock. DR.. Guzman's telegram
apparently conveyed the only information
on the subject received in this city through
official sources during the day, the state
department being without any news on
the subject.
