ness to health is going on in thousands
of homes across the wide extent of this
country.
The reputation of Paine's celery
compound has grown by word of
mouth, from persons made well, to
others who needed it's healing,
strengthening power. The agreement
of opinion among the best informed,
most obsewant class Of people, in the
WELT homes of our largest cities,
as well as in the more frugal town
communities, places Paine's celery
compound far in advance of any rem
edy. Paine's celery compound is, in
fact, the only spring remedy ever
heard of in the home of practising ply
scians.
This great remedy is not an ordinary
spring sarsaparilla, bitters, tonic, or
nervine. Paines celery compound is
as far apart from any of these guess
work remedies as black Is from white
in the eyes of physicians who regu-
larly prescribe it, use it themselves and
carry it home to their own families
Paines celery compound is the famous
formula of that thoughtful and studi-
Gus physician, Prof. Edward E. Phelps
M. D., LII D., of the Dartmouth medi-
cal school.
1t is the duty of every man or woman
who has been benefited by Paine's cell
cry compound to impress on friends
and neighbors it's wonderful efficacy as
spring remedy that is in every way
worthy Of the name.
The past of Paine's celery compound,
as everyone who keeps Informed of
current events is well aware, is re-
markable story Of sick people made
we'll and of many persons, who had
given up health as wholly lost, made
strong as ever they were in their lives.
Paine's celery compound is the spring
remedy par excellence. No invigorator
has been so much praised, discussed,
recommended and used by physicians,
and discerning, conservative men and
women in every walk of life.
The story of Paine's celery compound
in a nutshell is that is makes people
we'll.

Mrs. H. B. Sperry, who is now the
eminent president of the Woman's Ma
tional Press association, was assistant
editor of the Washington World. Her
vigorous editorials in Ohio and Wash
ington newspapers first brought her in
to national prominence.
The active profession of journalism
has kept Mrs. Sperry up to date in in
formation and progressive in thought.
When there was evident need of rem
edy in her family, she was well aware
that Paine's celery compound was best
to use. The following enthusiastic let
ter shows the happy results from the
use of this greatest of remedies.
Wells & Richardson Company,
Burlington, VT,
Dear Sirs: A few weeks use of
Paine's celery compound by my So
years-old mother has been of great
benefit to her and proved to my salts
faction that there's nothing like it for
the headaches and sleep1essness Incl
dent to impaired digestion. A niece in
my family was also cured of insomnia
by using one bottle of Paines celery
compound. Yours very truly,
Hannah B. Sperry.
In every part of this country women
are utilizing these blessed spring days
by taking Paine's celery compound and
insisting on its use by the members of
their families. 1t speaks volumes for
this wonderful remedy that Of all the
women who have recovered health by
Its means very many We're induced to
take it through the persuasion of other
women,--sisters, mothers, friends or
relatives.
Many man slowly failing in health,
but suddenly shutting his eyes to the
alarming fact, has been led to take
Paines celery compound from seeing
it's remarkable health-giving effect in
the case Of his own wife, sister or some
other member Of his household.
When a sick and feeble sufferer is
seen to gain steadily in health and
Nigor from taking Paine's celery COM
pound, not much room for doubt is left
to the most Stubborn minded person.

Decision in Favor of Steam Roads as

Grave-Company rs Field Day-ConsoIi-
dated Road improvements.
Norwich, May 22.-Great dissatisfac-
ton is eelt here tonight over the de-
cision o. Judge Thayer of the superior
court in denying the application of the
Iontville Electric Railway company to
extend it's tracks to New London, thus
completing al inc between that city and
this. Talk OF the summer line" to
New London has been rife for over a
year, and popular sentiment has been
in favor oe the road. Surveys of the
proposed route have been made, and
been done except to place the contract.
and It was expected that there would
be no opposition on the part of the
Central Vermont railroad. If the road
had been constructed it would have par
alleled the tracks of that road, and the
officials of the Central Vermont claim,
would greatly have reduced their re-
ceipts for passenger traffic between
these two cities. Hence their OPPOSITION
to the electric line, and their petition to
dismiss the application of the latter's
application. The decision was render
ed on technicalities, and the Montville
company will appeal to the supreme
court. Should their petition again be
denied, it is probable a new company
will be organized, a new layout selected
and a third application be made.
Following is the memorandum of
Judge Thayer's decision:
1t appears fro mthe evidence before
me that the original charter of the
Montville Horse Railroad company
gave that the company has no right to
lay tracks through the highway known
ss the Norwich and New London turn
pike. No vote of that company, by
either its stockholders or directors ap-
pears by its records to have been pass
ed asking for a change of name of the
said turnpike. No vote of its stock
holders or directors was passed within
