Why not be well woman this spring?
There are women who cannot tolerate the
smallest neglect about the house, who too
often take no care of their health.
They should use these precious June

ture, began to bloat great deal.
"After suffering for some time, friend
advised me to try Paine's celery compound.
l can truthfully say that after using four
bottles I was cured; not helped, but

If you have any doubt at all these spring
days about your health - if neuralgia
twinges, kidney troubles, dizzy spells, indi-
gestion or heart palpitation show them
selves, don't wait for palmer warnings.
Make clean sweep of all these ailments
from the system.
1t is easiest to do that now Take Paine's
celery compound when the system is most
responsive to its cleansing, strengthening

An improved appetite, sound digestion,
uninterrupted sleep, and an energetic con-
dition, are the result of taking Paine's
