To combat this growing evil, Prof. Ed
ward e. Phelps, M. D., LII. D., of Dart
mouth College. made nervous diseases
his special study. The fruitful outcome
OF his long years of professional investi-
cation was Paine's celery compound.
Difficult nervous disorders that had per-
sisted despite long treatment, at once
yielded to it. Men and women who had
suffered for years from broken and un-
refreshing sleep, from headaches, rheu-
matism and neuralgia, found that Paine's
celery compound not only speedily cured
these troubles, but that they worked
better and felt more encouraged thar
had been possible to them for years.

remarkable remedy is doing all over

serves careful reading. DR.. Smith is to-

This is the saloon which has been vigorously
opposed by the residents of the Old Fourth
district \ because it closely adjoins Public
School No. Is.
Newman and his friends are making a hard
fight and are bringing considerable influence
to bear on the Aldermen. 1t is reported that
Newman has six votes already and is only
waiting for Alderman Mccarthy to recover,
SO that his license can be rushed through
the Board.
Aldermen Wilson, Simpson, vermilye and
Dohrmann are looking after the interests of
the demonstrators and will make a hard fight
to defeat the license. This was their plan
have the requisite number of votes, SO they
wanted to get the question before the Board,
defeat it and put 1t out of harms way for
the present. Seven members. however, voted
to continue the matter in the hands Of the
Excise Committee.
Six liquor licenses were granted. Applica-
lions of A.; Buchanan to open a saloon at
to conduct a saloon at No. 4 Sandford place,
were referred to the Excise Committee. OBJ
~5ections have been made by residents Of the
neighborhood against both applications. Last
summer Thomas O'Grady applied for a license
to sell liquor at No. GA Morris street. Legal
complications arose and Morris J. Breen was
appointed receiver for the $3.50 paid for the
license, which the Aldermen had been re-
strained from granting.
Last night the receiver made application
for the money. The case was referred to the
Corporation Counsel.
