after using a bottle or two my natural appetite
returned, and assimi1ated my food easily as o

RaaIdships Of the Men Who
Bring It to You'
CARRIER BANES DEVOTION TO DUTY
Freed From rheumatism by
Paine's Celery Compound.
MRS. BANE TELLS ABOUT IT

OF all the vast amy of assistants employed by
the United States government none is more untir-
ing or diligent in loyalty to duty than the letter
carriers. Upon them rests the grave responsibility
of taking Of the correspondence Of the nation
during the interim between the time 1t leaves the
writer's until it is safely deposited in the keeping
of those for whom it is intended. In the sacks
which the busy men In gray carry around sllng
from their shoulders one could discover the eptOme
of contemporary life If the chance was given.
The missives they contain hold the sacred secrets
of all. Love and hate, humor and pathos, gladncss
and SORROW, state and commercial secrets are all
intrusted alike to the honor and fidelity Of the
letter carriers, and they Know nothing that means
an obstacle. Rain or shine, hot or cold, In calm
and in tempest they pursue their daily round. and
they probably experience more exposure to the hckle
elements than any other class of men on earth
Even the strongest constitutions break down under
such a strain, and one Of the most frequent enc
mics to letter carriers health is rheumatism.
He Will go out en- clear morning and before his
route is half completed he will be soaked to the
skin with rain, from head to foot, without any op
portunity to dry change lis garments.
One Of the most Industrious and popular Of the
letter curriers' in Washington is Mr. j. S. Bane
who resides, with his attractive wife and pretty
little one, at Gil 9th street northwest, in close
proximity to the city post Office. He Was terrible
sdterer from rheuma tism for several years, but he
longer knows what 1t means
My husband was i martyr 10 rheumatism III lts
worst FORM said Mrs. Bane to Star reporter Il
think he first got it when he travelling through
the country from place to another and changing
his sleeping place every little while as well as be-
ing exposed to the drafts in theaters, for he was
an actor before he here and was made
letter carrier. The exposure he was subjected to
in his present position increased the disease and
you have idea how much he suffered.
The circulating pains attacked him in all his
joints, but especially In his knees and ankles. They
somewhat intermittent IN their nature, and ut
times almost left linn and he would think he was
going to get well, but they invariably returned In
n more aggravated form.
AT last he concluded to try Paine's celery COM
pound, and you ought to him now. Did 1t do
him good: Indeed, 1t did! 1t cured him OF rheu-
mitism absolutely, and he doesn't know what
IN ache pain We both know what
splendid medicine Paine's celery compound is and
You can feel assured that thankful We
found it out Mr.. Bane always keeps it in the
house in Of an emergency and wouldn't be
without 1t for nything.''

While the population of tie United States has
doubled. the Of Its mental Iabors has in
creased ffty-fold Every civilized does from
five to twenty-five times much brain work as
was demanded when the nation held half many
people rs ut present.
DOleful prophets argue from this that physical
deterioration will spread and heart, stomach and
nerve diseases will continue to multiply until We
shall be a nation Of wrecks.
The doleful ones wrong. Man has not been
cudseling his brain so hard without learning
something. He has learned for instance, that
ture has provided substances to revive an exhausted
nervous system, and that they combined to
the best advantage in Painc's celery compound.
Great grtefs, anxetes, Icing. suspense and i'm

so clear is the wasting, wearing exhausing effect

attract notice.
Why So many women hollow checked and
