AS the school year opens, attention
is directed to the oft-repeated advice
Of leading educators, warning teach
ers, parents and scholars against the
fearful results OF exhaustive brain
work among the young people.
To thousands OF girls and boys, un-
nerved by the strain Of school life,
Paine's celery compond, (which was
first prescribed by Americas greatest
teacher, Prof. Edward +. Phelps, NJ.
d., Ill. d., OF Dartmouth college) has
been blessing, making them we'll and
strong, feeding the brain and nerves
and enriching and purifying the
blood.
The recent recommendation OF
Paine's celery compound by Principal
Camp Of New Haven and the equally
outspokeri praise OF this greatest OF
remedies by cx-President Cook OF the
National Teachers association are two
