The greatest injustice that women do

Paine's celery compound has driven
sickness and gloom from innumera BILE
homes, where some loved member was
the source Of continual anxiety and even
despair. The constantly repeaI;ed sue
cess or this great nvigorator in making
people well have reused many persons
VINO thought themselves destined un-
redeemably to lives OF imperfect health
to try Paine's celery compound.
No one can read the following letter
without being inspired with confidence
In this great remedy:
659 ELM street, Buffalo, N. Y, July o.
About elgth years ago, after the birth
OF a child, I suffered terribly I could
not get help from over n dozen physi-
clans to whom applied, and after re-
ceiving treatment from the last doctor
continually for nine months, was pro
nounced cured and continued so until
the birth of another child, when I was
obliged to commence doctoring again
although all imaginable treatments had
been restored to without one particle OF
relief
l was subject to neuralgia troubles
and slightly rheumatic, and I became
discouraged and melancholy feeling thai;

l was in a pitiful state, when my hus-
band, who had been benefited by the
use of Paine's celery compound, urged
ME to try 1t. In a remarkably snor,

Close, careful observation of great
numbers Of cases like the above led
Professor Edward E. Phelps, NJ. D., LII.
D., of the Dartmouth Medical School to
the formulation of Paine's celery COM
pound.
The success of this universally we'll
known remedy in quickly driving out
disease from the blood and system need
nd; be retold to newspaper readers.
Paine's celery compound restores to a
healthy state weakened and diseased
nervous system. One of the first evil
dences OF its building-up virtue Is the
gain in flesh noticeable about the face.
Night sweats and nervous twitchings
are things of the pass; there Is a great
Improvement in looks, a better appe-
lite, sounder sleep, a cleaner skin and
more regular functions. These are a
few of the outward improvements More
important is the thorough and radical
purifying of the blood and the regulat-
ing and building-up of the deep-lying
nerves all over the body. There Is Moth
ing half way or partial in the effect of
Paine's celery compound. It cures Hper-
manently.

Tampa correspondence Jacksonville Cit
izen: weIl-dressed stranger was
brought from Ninth avenue yesterday
morning in the patrol wagon in charge of
an officer. He was going along the ave
nue. on street car, and saw some young
ladies on veranda, and he got on the
car and went to the house, which Is oc-
cupied by one of the most highly esteem
ed Cuban families in the city, and soon
frightened the young ladies very badly.
An officer was called and the man was sent
to the central station. When he arrived
there. the station keeper started to search
him, to which he objected, and there was
a lively time, several officers joining in the
scrimmage. He was finally relieved of
something over 500 in cash and lot of
jewelry, and the officer in charge invited
him to accompany him to a cell He
again objected, and another Lively fracas
ensued, in which the stranger got the
worst of it. The man gave his name as
johnson one time and then said he was
named Jones 1t was afterwards learned
that his name was Ball, and that he was
a cotton man from Charleston. There was
great deal of feeling against him for
the insult to the young ladies', and it is a
wonder that he was not more roughly
treated.

Into the realm of sentiment the 60
date and matter of-fact statistician OBJ
trudes himself. intent on dealing,
through percentages, with matters
which one might think would be ex-
empt from such prosaic consideration.
The latest subject OF statistical in
quiry. says the Philadelphia Times, is
light and dark eyes, and as tho result
OF sundry responses to questions pro-
pounded in various countries and duly
authenticated it has been discovered
land not merely discovered, but also
proved) that, taking tho average Of
Europ. and America, Al 6 is tho per-
centnge of men having light eyes. in
cluding blue and gray. Tho propor-
ton Of girls and women having blue
or gray eyes is by the same computa-
tion 81. per cent. In other words,
blue eyes are decidedly rarer among
women than among men, and il is FOR
this reason perhaps that blue eyes, es-
pecially in combination with blonde
hair. are esteemed so highly as feat
ure of feminine beauty.
Men have light eyes oftener than
women, but in the intermediate range
OF color between light and dark the
percentage of the two sexes is very
nearly, though not quite, the same. In
this intermediate category are brown
and hazel eyes, neither pure light nor
genuine black. The percentage of
these among men is 43.1 and among
women 45.1. The percentage of dark,
or more properly black eyes, is larger
among women, being 20.7 per cent. of
the whole number, while among men
il is 1913. Perhaps it is tho relative
rarity of dark eyes among men which
establishes the rule that dark-eyed
men are esteemed by women to be
more fortunate in the color of their
eyes than blue-eyed men.
