Great W ork of naine's
Celery Compound.
Blessing TO Every Household
in the Land.

If another huge petition, like thu
famous one now going round the worlt
on quite another mission, were to bt
signed by all the men, women anC
children who have been cured of dis
ease or saved from Il weak, nervous
condition by Paine's celery compound,
it would take a stout conveyance tc
carry the enormous document from city
to city.
Such a growing testimonial would
receive additions from every tiny vii
lage and small town. not to mention
the cities, on its journey across the
United States.
1t would be signed by thousands Of
women no longer tortured by sleepless-
ness pains in the back and sides con-
tinued headaches, neuralgia, dyspepsia
and Bright's disease.
There would be fully as many men
who had been permanently cured of
kidney anG liver diseases and rescued
from chronic bad health by means of
this great invigorator.
a vast number of children would be
represented 10 testify to the ability of
Paine's celery compound to restore a
healthy appetite to take away that
constant tired feeling and to purify the
blood of harmful humors.
kThe number of testimonials for
Paine's celery compound from men and
women of high standing in every
state in the Union that have already
been published, would fill a large
volume. These testimonials have
been written without solicitation.
They have been published verbatim as
they were received.
Necessarily the testimonials that
have publicly appeared have been but
n or two here and there, taken al
most at random from an enormously
large number that every day and every
week steadily increases.
Besides, it is to be remembered that
o one 1.-THE of all the magnificent
cures fairly due to Paine's celery com
pound ever get beyond the knowledge
of the immediate family that. in fact
few people have any appreciation of
the number of families throughout the
United States where Paine's celery
compound is kept constantly on hand
and is being taken or has been taken
by some one of its members.
Paine's celery compound has already ,
done an enormous woEk. 1t has saved
lives. 1t has saved health. 1t has
saved homes.
But its work as the greatest nerve
and brain strenthener and restorer the
world has known is only well started.
1t is not beyond the reach of the
most modest household while a much
expenditure will procure moth
ing else so effective.
Paine's celery compound, the remedy
makes people well is within reach
Of all.

TUBERCULOSIS.
Eight Animals i'm O.. l.. Miners Herd
Condemned.

E1HEt ANIMALS IN %. L.. Miners Herd
Condemned.
Ed. Refnrmer,
Sir Some days ago | sold a COW tc
go out of the state, but in order to dc
so | had to have her tested with
tuberculin. She responded to the test
and was condemned. AS she was as
healthy to all visible appearance as
any COW | owned, | resolved at once
to have my entire herd tested and ap.
piled to the state authorities. The re
suit of the test was that eight out
of ID head were condemned and one
doubtful. not responding fully. l shall
have them all killed. Being confident
that no one can tell from the appear
ances of an animal whether diseased
or not, hereafter | shall not have a
COW come into my barn unless care
fully tested by competent veterinary
surgeon and l believe this to be the
only way by which any owner of stock
can be tell whether they have the dis
ease or not. One of the condemned
animals is a two-year.o ole bull, an
other a ~two-year!old heifer never been
in milk and both tit for the butcher.
The one sold that was first condemned
was a dry COW of good flesh, the Others
were giving milk. l believe that but few
better herds exist in town or vicinity
than mine, several of which are thor.
ough bred Holsteins. One of the con-
demned is a three-year-old heifer first
calf this fall, and for which | was
offered so. By request of V. L. Smear.
B%raintree, G. w. Pierce conducted
the test and DIR. Martin applied it.
l believe 1t was carefully and faith
FULLY done. Application of tuberculin
made at eight in the evening and
temperature taken once an hour from
F, a. M, till 3 p. m. Although a
drastic dose for me TO take | am heart |
lily glad that | have had it done.
