MY appetite which had failed me,
returned, my constipation ceased, and
very soon my liver became normal in
its action. Following this my sleep
Iessness and headaches ceased, and |
began to gain flesh. The insidious hold
on me that the grip had hitherto had
was relaxed, and felt invigorated and
strengthened, so I could resume my vo-
cation. and feel free from the languid,
enervated feeling that had so long pos
sessed me.
MY friends were pleasantly surpris-
ed with the change in my condition,
and | was only too happy to recon-
mend Paine's celery compound to such
of my acquaintance as were suffering
from any Of the complaints which so
complicated my case. Therefore,

sense of gratitude to express how much

Major Robbins Of the 2nd Indiana
State guards. aid on Gen. McKee's staff
and president of camp Gray, has been
for two years one OF the most infuen-
tial members of the Indiana Legislature
and the author of the famous Indiana
Military Law of 1889.
Major Robbins was a very sick man
up TO the time Of taking Paine's celery
compound.
In proof of what that remarkable
remedy can do to make sick person
strong and we'll, Major Robbins letter
from Indianapolis best tells its own
straightforward story.
Il was troubled with a torpid liver,
constipation and the accompanying sal
low complexion, while my entire ner-
vous system was entirely deranged,
and I was greatly reduced in flesh.
While in this condition I was taken
down with a very severe attack of the
grip, and was, for long time, confined
TO the house and my bed.

tonics. and under their temporary infu-

my business OF travelling about in the

OVER THE BURNING SANDS.
Nine InnOcentS in the Caravan at
Osiris Temple.
A Very Enjoyable Seance at the
Arion Hall Last Night-A Large
Number Of Visitors Enjoyed the
Initiations-The Banquet, and a
S eason Of speech Making.

There were nine tenderfeet-nine
pairs of tenderfeet would perhaps ex-
press it moreaccurately-i the caravan
which crossed the burning sands at the
Arion last night. The camels were in
a sprightly mood, and they made things
decidedly interesting for the innocents
who ventured into the hall to peer into
the secrets of Oriental mysticism, OF
which Osiris Temple is custodian. The
sounds which emanated from the tor
ture chamber were suggestive, but the
candidates found consolation in the re-
lection that their turn will come next.
The following named persons took the
degree: j. S. Woods, Geo. B. Peabody,
John Beckett, Jos. E. Dudley, OF
Wheeling; H. H. Fogle, of Bridgeport;
w. G. Kohl, Of Sistersville; u. S. Ken
dali and G. F. Carroll, of FairmOnt;
B. F. Ramage, of Clarksburg.
A large number of Shriners from out
of-town were present, among whom
were:
Charleston-J. N. Collins and Geo
Davis.
Parkersburg-L n. Tavenner.
New York-Geo. B. Parham and An
drew Brown, of Mecca Temple.

Sistersville-G. B. West, p. A. Sha-
nor and J. r. Stathers.
After the exercises in the hall came
the traditional banquet, in the dining
room. Ziegenfeder was the caterer.
This mere announcement is a sufficient
guarantee of the excellence Of the
spread. The service was splendid. The
menu was discussed very pleasantly,
and when the inner man had been sat
isfied to the point to safety, there was
feast of reason, and a flow of soul"
There was no regular programme Of
toasts. All the speeches were inn
promptu, but they were characterized
by that degree of wit and elOquence
which is peculiar to West Virginians
and particularly to the Shriners.
