CLEVER DIAMOND THEFT,
Fastened the jewelers. Door So as to
Prevent Capture.

Baltimore, Nd, Nov. 19.-George w.
Polham. alias Frank Wilson, was
caught today trying to sell diamond
ring, which he had stolen from Jew
eler John Greenburg. Polham entered
Greenburgs store and asked to be
shoNn some diamond rings. He select
ed three of the costliest and darted
out of the door. The thief, with fore
thought, shut the door behind him and
lifting the oueside bar in position in
serted a piece of wood into the thumb
piece of the latch. In vain the victim
tugged at the door and appealed to
those without to stop the thief. The
crowd that had collected thought the
fellow who was dancing around and
cutting all sorts of capers was cray
and so they looked on and laughed
while the thief walked away.

the nerves, and when these vital tissues
become fatigued and badly nourished,
the bad effect is seen in failing diges-
ton, distressing, ringing sounds in the
ears, dizzy spells, depression, neuralgia
and lassitude. Spring days afford every
one the opportunity for shaking off old
weaknesses and persistent disorders.
Physicians of every school have been
from the start urged to inquire into the
formula of Paine's celery compound,
that they might satisfy themselves of
its wonderful power of making the sick
well. Professor Edward E. Phelps,
M. D. LII. D., as soon as he presented
Paine's celery compound to his fellow
physicians, was always anxious to have
the invigorator tried in cases that had
resisted the usual methods of treatment,
that he might prove the truth of every
claim made for his newly discovered
formula for Paine's celery compound.
The great remedy always gave relief,
and in 80 cases out Of 100 made people
we'll.
Paine's celery compound cannot be
judged by the standard of any ordinary
medicine, sarsaparilla or nerve tonic.
1t is, great modern, scientific discov-
cry, singularly unlike any remedial
agent that has ever aimed to effect a
similar purpose-to make people well.
Paine's celery compound is the one
real spring remedy known to-day that
never fails to benefit. Get Paine's celery
compound, and only Paine's celery
compound if you wish to be well.
