The reputation Of Paine's celery com
pound has grown by word of mouth,
from persons made well, TO Others who
needed its healing, strengthening power.
The agreement of opinion among the
best-informed, most observant class of
people, in the wel-tO-dO-hOmes of our
largest cities. as well as in the more
frugal town communities, places Pane's
celery compound far in advance OF any
remedy.
This great remedy is not an ordinary
sarsaparilla, bitters, tonic, or nervine.
Pane's celery compound is far apart
from any Of these guesswork remedies
as black is from white in the eyes of
ply sicians who regularly prescribe it,
use it themselves and carry it home to
their own families. Paine's celery COM
pound is the famous formula of that
thoughtful and studious physician, Prof.
Edward f. Phelps, NJ. d., LII. D., of the
Dartmouth medical school.
1t is the duty of every man or woman
who has been benefited by Paine's celery
compound to impress on friends and
neighbors its wonderful efficacy as a
blood and nerve remedy that is in every
way worthy of the name.
The past of Paine's celery compound,
as every one who keeps informed of cur
rent events is well aware. is a remark
able story of sick people made well, and
of many persons, who had given up
health as wholly lost, made strong as
ever they were in their lives. Paine S
celery compound is the spring remedy
par excellence. No invgorator has been
so much praised, discussed. recommended
and used by physicians, and discerning,
conservative men and women in every
walk of life.
The story of Paine's celery compound
in a nutshell is that it makes people well
