office is full of hard, thankless work,
and heavy responsibility
Congressman William w. Grout is

I found relief in Paine's celery COM
pound for insomnia Its action on the
circulation and digestion was also ben

Very truly yours, William w. Grout.
There is something wrong when one
feels tired all the time" 1t is contrary
to every condition OF good health.
There ought to be no necessity OF
drumming into the ears of tired men
and women who feel they are broken

of taking Paine's celery compound. now
it's spring. to restore their spent nerve

Some of the earliest good results
noticed from taking Paine's celery COM

regularity of the bowels, better appe-
