aggregated in the judging.
Among the St. Bernards there will be
shown the imported bitch Yreka, whose
pedigree dates back to 1915 and who was
bred in Switzerland. Sine was shown at
the worlds and midwinter fairs in Chicago

special prizes are offered in the pointer

State guards, aide on General McKee's
staff and president of Camp Gray, has
been for two years one of the most
influential members of the Indiana
legislature and the author of the famous
Indiana Military Law of 1889.
Major Robbins was 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.
II was troubled with torpid liver,
constipation and the accompanying
sallow complexion, while my entire
nervous system was entirely deranged,
and [ was greatly reduced in flesh.
While in this condition was taken
down with very severe attack of the
grip, and WAS, for long time, confined
to the house and my bed.
II resorted to various medicines and
tonics, and under their temporary in
f1uence made several attempts to re-
sune my business of travelling about
in the interests of A. Steffen, cigar
manufacturer of this city; but relapse
succeeded relapse, and not only was
obliged to abandon my business, but
growing gradually worse, became appre-
hensive of the ultimate result.
"At this juncture my mother-in-law,
who had used your remedy with graft
flying results. prevailed upon me to
commence taking Paine's Celery Com
pound, and it gives me great pleasure
to state that / at once began to feel its
beneficial effects.
