from beds of sickness. 1t does what
nothing else ever did for the sleepless,
the ~dyspeptie, and the -despondent-it cures
them once and for all.
Here is a testimonial from Mr.. e. Al.
Miller, OF Columbus. o., accompanying the
photograph of his family.
For two years past I have been a con-
slant sufferer with severe nervous head
aches. ofttimes being compelled to go
to bed. when my business necessitated my

and have not suffered with headache since.
This government should, in my mind, pay
the d~iseoverer of Paine's celery COM
pound a sum of money sufficient to keep
him and all his relatives in luxury during
their natural lives"
Mr.. Miller is the son of DR.. ]. D. Mil
Ter. His wife is the grand
daughter Of the late Governor
Lucas, of Ohio. Mr.. Miller's praise
of Paine's celery compound is equalled by
that of thousands of others who owe
their health and strength to this greatest

There is no spring remedy equal to
Paine's celery compound.
Sufferers from debility who find their
convalescenee too slow, are j~oyously sur
prised by the brisk impetus toward re-
covery that comes from Paine's celery
compound. Its healing, nerve-restoring,

directly to the root of the trouble that
the progress toward health and strength
is steady n uninterrupted.
No relapses come when Paine's celery

A NEW BATTALION N. q. S. N j.

A number of young men will meet at
Holstein's Hall next Sunday night for the
purpose of discussing the question of or
ganizing a new battalion of the National
Guard. 1t was originally intended to or
ganize a battalion in connection with the
Fourth Regiment, but that proved impos-
sible, as the Fourth already had all the
battalions allowed by law. When it was
learned that the Fourth could have no
more battalions it was decided to con-
fer with Governor Griggs and ascertain
If a separate and independent battalion
could not be formed.
Many members of the old Second and
Ninth Regiments who are opposed to
