MIRACLES IN MEDICINE.
The Wonderful Progress Made Within
the Past Few Years.
Diseases That Our Mothers Thought Incurable
Now Cured by Paine's Celery Compound.

1t is difficult. almots impossible, to
overestimate the Importance of recent
advances in medicine and surgery.
In surgery there is the application of
the X-ray in determining complicated
fractures.
In medicine there is the serum treat
ment for germ diseases. and more i'm
portant still, the extended use Of
Paine's celery compound in the treat
ment of the many diseases that arise
from a faulty or impaired nervous sys-

This class of ailments causes more
suffering and earlier deaths than all
others, and that is why so much pub
lie prominence was at once given to
Paine's celery compound when it's
discovery was first announced by Prof.
Phelps of Dartmouth college.
The rapid and sure way that Paine's

that the Spanish minister of foreign
affairs. the Duke Of Tetuan. had for
mally invited him to give an opinion
of Porto Rico reforms, as a practical
measure of self-government for Cuba.
Mr.. Taylor declared the scheme to be
worthless. The Duke of Tetuan then
asked Mr.. Taylor his opinion of the
greater reforms for Cuba promised in
the preamble to the declaration of
Porto Rico reforms.
The American minister replied that
the reforms were too vague to inspire
any confidence in America. He urged
the Spanish government to make a
definite declaration of it's purpose to
grant full local self-government to
Cuba, coupled with economic reforms
as basis.
Secretary Olney was delighted at the
news that Spain had at last officially
recognized the consultative rights OF
the American government in the set

laid Minister Taylor's message before
