! MAKES PEOPLE WELL
Most Remarkable REM
edy in the World.
Far Superior 10 Ordinary Sarsa'
pariI|as, Nervines or Bitters.
The True Medicine for Lost
Nervous Strength.
Without an Equal in Purifying and
Enriching the Blood.
Great Cures Effected by Paine'S
Celery Compound.
What Scientific Research
Has Accomplished.
Proved by Success Where
All Else Has Failed.

There is one truc specific for diseas
es arising from debilitated, nervous
system, and that is the Paines celery
compound 50 generally prescribed by
physicians 1t is the most remarkable
remedy that the scientific research Of
this country has produced. Prof Ed
ward +. Phelps. NJ. D., LII. d.. of
Dartmouth college, first prescribed
what is now know the world over as
Paine's celery compound, positive
cure for dyspepsia. biliousness, liver
complaint, neuralgia, rheumatism and
kidney troubles. For the latter Paine's
celery compound has succeeded again
and again where everything else has
failed. Sufferers from neuralgia, neu-
raigic headaches and rheumatism
should stop short their morphine,
quinine, and such pain killing drugs.
No cure can he hoped for from these
tcmporizes. There is one way of get
ting rid forever of the causes of all
this suffering; that is by taking
Painc's celery compound. In this
great modern remedy the real means TO
health is attended to; sleep is made
sound and refreshing, the appetite i'm
proves and the nerves stop complain
ing because they get the nutriment
that nature requires. This is the
fundamental rational way that Paine's
celery compound takes to be able to
cope successfully with diseases of
the liver, kidneys ana stomach. and
to guarantee a complete return of
sound sleep, good digestion and quiet
well regulated nervous system.

Three Lives Are Lost and Many
Persons Receive Serious
Injuries.
PINNED UNDER THE DEBRIS.
Two Firemen and a Baggageman
Killed-Roland Reeds Company
Aboard.

MACON, GA, March IA wreck, cost
ing thres persons their lives and inlurine
eight or nine others, occurred at Stone
Creek trestle last night. 1t was discovered
to- dav that several rails had been removed
on the trestle, which is many feet above
the water, and there is no doubt the acci
dent was caused by train robbers. The
following people were killed: Robert Mer-
Ger. fireman, of Macon; f. w. Whippler
baggageman, Macon; John Reddish, fire.
man, who died from scalds.
The passenger train had hardly met its
destruction before freight train coming
along at good rate of speed reached the
trestle and, striking the structure barred
by the misplaced rails, went into the creek.
The engineer jumped in time to save his
life, but Fireman Reddish was killed.
Engineer Joyner of the passenger train
and his fireman, Mercer, did not discover
that the rails had been removed until the
engine jumped the track. The engine
plunged forward on the trestle and broke
through, falling to the bed of the creek.
The freight train left Macon ten minutes
behind the passenger.
The widest excitement prevailed at the
scene of the wreck for two hours. The
uniniured quickly began the work OF
rescue, but two of the crew had been in
stantiy killed. Others were picked up
dangerously hurt and they were given the
best attention possible.
The railroad officials sent news of the
wreck to Macon and crew of surgeons
and officials left shortly afterward for the
scene. Several detectives were ON board.
That the wreck was the work of train
robbers seems certain. The rail was re-
moved from the left-hand track going
south. Mercer, the fireman on the pas
senger-train, was coaling at the time, and
Engineer Joyner could not see the track.
Conductor Joyner of the passenger-train
quickly sent back one of his men with a
lantern to stop the freight, but it was too
late Engineer Green of the freight saw
the trainman's lantern and attempted to
bring his train to stop, but it plunged in
to the broken space of the track:
Whippler, the baggagemaster, was
drowned in two feet of water in his car.
The baggage-car tum bled into the creek
and Whippler's body was pinioned down
in the water which rushed into the car.
He was found with his feet in the air and
his head under water.
coincidence is that the wreck occurred
within one mile of a similar wreck one
year ago, and Roland Reeds company,
which was in last years wreck, was also in
last nights accident. Reed and the mem
bers of his company have suits pending
against the road now for $40, 600 damages.
None of the actors were seriously hurt last
night.
There is strong circumstantial evidence
against three men suspected of removing
the rails, but no arrests have been made.
