Stunning cares nor hard work to bring
down the health. there might not be
the urgent necessity that now exists
for taking this best of spring remedies
-Paine's celery compound.
But as the great majority of lives are
orlered-with too much work. too
much anxiety. too little sleep, by the
time winter is over the drain on the
nervous energy has become excessive.
the nerves are in sad need of being
strengthened, and the blood of being
purified.
paine's celery compound absolutely
meets this great modern necessity.
Paine's celery compound will bring
back nerve strength and replace poor,
thin. pale blood with a ruddy, health
making stream.
II is the one great practical remedy
advocated by all physicians.
1t drives away that feeling of utter
exhaustion that is so common in the
spring. but no less dangerously signifi-
cant because it is so common. 1t
makes people well. 1t is a thousand
times superior to all the ordinary Sar-
saparillas, nervines and tonics ever
made.
Paine's celery compound is the one
real spring remedy known today that
never fails to benefit. Get Paine's Gel
cry compound. and only Paines celery
compound if you wish to be well.
