the discovery of SO eminent physician

D.. of Dartmouth medical school,
That Paine's celery compound does
cure positively and permanently all
diseases arising from impure blood or
decline in the vigor of the nerves is
cheerfully attested by thousands OF
earnest men and women.
Weakness, depression. irritability,
pain and lansuor, tell that the nervous
matter in the brain, nerves and spinal
cord is not getting sufficient nourish-
ment.
To quickly furnish a fresh and album
tissue of the body is the purpose for
which Paine's celery compound was
first prepared. This rapid production
of fresh nervous energy and pure blood
was the aim of t~rof. Edward f. Phelps
long study of the causes of nervous ex.
haustion.
The result of his life work was
able remedy that permanently cures
diseases of the liver. kidneys and
stomach. 1t is the greatest nerve

Worn out, nervous women, receive
criticism where they should have
sympathy. They cannot help being
nervous, if their blood is impure.
When the blood fails to feed the
nerves upon proper nourishment what
can you expect but nervous prostra-

If the causci is found in impure blood,
the cure must be i'll making the blood
