Congressman Bell of Colorado One of Those Recently Re-
 stored to Health by Panes Celery Compound

stored to joyful, contented state of body and mind by this same great nerve and brain restorative.
 Paine's celery compound is the great est achievement in modern medicine. It banishes weakness and pain as surely as it's famous contemporary, the electric light, dispels darkness.
 Paine's celery compound frees the body of vicious humors that cause kid ney and liver complaints. Only a great remedy based on a. deep knowledge of these diseases could do the work that Paine's celery compound is now doing. Better nutrition for the nerves, an awakened appetite, purified blood and complete aSSimilation--these follow the conscientious use of Paine's celery com- pound as surely as day follows night.
 If you are alarmed by @ throbbing of the heart, an irritable stomach or gen. eral debility, be fair with yourself use the best means there is, examine what Pane's celery compound is doing. It has cured an astonishing number of men and women of Brights disease, rheumatism, neuralgia, heart and liver trouble. No sufferer can pass lightly over the remarkable record that Paine celery compound has to show to every sick and ailing person.
 Among the thousands of testimonials received this year is one recently sent by Congressman John c. Bell of Colorado, who says he has used three bottles of this best of all remedies for dyspepsia and rheumatism, with the most satis- factory results. Among the testimo- nials received since January there have been no less than sixteen from congress- men from different states.

There is just now no lack of news from the western states.
 Public opinion in Colorado and Iowa is as promptly and accurately heard of as from any New England state.
 From all over the west come reports that Paine's celery compound occupies practically a clear field in the cure of diseases arising from a tired or other wise impaired nervous system.
 No other remedy was ever used by so many men of sound and reliable judg- ment No remedy but Paine's celery compound has eyer been recommended by so conspicuously fair-minded 8 body of men and women. The half-hearted experimental efforts of scores and scores Of sarsaparillas, tQnics and so-called nervines, with which the market is con- stantly recruited, are in startling con- trast with the confident-because thor oughly scientific--way in which Paine's s celery compound sets about restoring health and vigor to the worn out body.
 Why will people be silly enough to jeopardize their lives and lessen their chances of getting well by taking any, thing else?
 There is no help so sure and so imme- diate as one gets from the use of Paine S celery compound Detailed information of innumerable cases of rheumatism, neuralgia and dyspepsia, completely curetil has established this great in- vigorator as the most valuable remedy those run down in health can make use of
