alleged, having bought three-fourths of
it.
When the formal transfer is made,
Mr.. Phelps will, it is said, bring over
with him a staff of metropolitan men
to take charge of the several depart
ments. 1t is understood. in relation to
the staff changes, that City Editor Ben
son will continue to occupy the position
for which he is SO well fitted. Mr.. Alex

A clean barrel which will hold twelve

three gallons of .lukewarm water (soft

strain into the barrel. Shave very thin
five bars of good soap and put in a boil

until soap is all dissolved, then add one

minutes, stirring all the time.
Then pour 1t into the boiler and add
eight gallons of soft water. Stir well

There may be in the distant future
some remedy as eficacsous as Paine's
celery compound.
There is none such to-day.
The sick and ailing who are stretch
ing out their hands for help must take
the best that the scientific knowledge
of the world now affords.
The reasoning that has enabled Prof.
Edward E.. Phelps, M. D., III. D., of
Dartmouth College, to discover the re-
markable formula of Paine's celery COM
pound is the result of the century's work
in medicine.
1t is by a new and more thoughtful
grouping of diseases, from a careful
study of their causes, that Prof. Phelps
has been enabled to see the true rela-
tionship of all diseases of the blood and
nerves.
Neuralgia, sleepaessness, m~elancholia,
hysteria, headache and dyspepsia at
once referred themselves to a tired, half
fed and therefore deranged nervous sys-
tenn.
The cure lay in attending to the nu-
triton of the whole system. This sys-
tenn of cure, simple and clear like most
epoch-making ideas, was embodied In
the greatest tissue former, nerve-re-
storer and regulator YET known to sci
ence-Paine's celery compound, the one
great remedy that makes people well!

invigorator, as soon as their physicians
ordered Paine's celery compound felt
that their tired bodies were actually
