Paine's Celery Compound.

There is one true specific for dis eases arising from impure blood and a debiltated nervous system, and that is Paine's Celery Compound, so generally prescribed by physicians It is probably the most remarkable remedy that the scientific research of this country has produced Prof. Edward E. Phelps, M. D.. ILL. D, of Dartmouth college, first prescribed what is now known the world over as Paines Celery Compound. a. positive cure for dyspepsia, biliousness, liver complaint, neuralgia, rheuma tism, all nervous diseases and kidney troubles. For the latter Paine's Celery Compound has succeeded again and again where everything else has failed.

Deaf From Catarrh.

The sufferer from catarrh, perhaps, meets with more Encouragement in seeking a cure than those afflicted with all other ailments. After ex- hausting the skill of the best physi- clans, and inhaling various mixtures, paying out large sums for doctors fees and medicines, he finds himself either as bad off as at first or a great deal worse.
 The cause of this is easily explaired. The disease is in the blood, and only real blood remedy can possibly have any effect upon it. The doctors being unable, with their stereotyped reme- dies of potash and mercury, to cure diseases of the blood, direct their efforts toward treating the symp- toms of the disease, and ignoring it's cause. The inhaling of various sprays, and use of washes, etc., is but a su- perfcia1 and temporary treatment, and cannot possibly effect cure.

SIGNS OF PROSPERITY.

The improvement in business condl-
lions has become too certain In It's
manifestations TO require the confirma-
ton of statistics, but the magnitude of
the improvement can only be realized
from figures. The clearing house re-
turns form the very best guide to
determination Of the great change that
has come over the country within
year.
The general reader, who pays little
attention to such matters, may be re-
minded that large volume of deposits
in banks does not signify great pros
perity. 1t only shows that large sums
of money are lying idle. waiting for an
opportunity to earn a profit. When
the clearing house returns are large.
1t proves that money is out doing busi-
ness among the people, and the faster
1t circulates from hand to hand, the
more actively it is employed and the
brisker is general business. Il is the
unfailing illustration OF the fact that
1t is not the volume of money In a
country, but the number of times II is
turned over" which indicates the de-
gree OF prosperity.
When, therefore. the clearing house
In New Iork-the central exchange
reports that the "clearings" for the
month Of September are 81 per cent
more than In the corresponding month
OF last year, 10 means that business Is
correspondingly better 1t is not the
best gauge of the business of the coun-
try. because much of the clearing Is a
duplication of that done elsewhere. Fx-
Guiding New York, the September gain
in the rest of the country is nearly so
per cent over that of a year ago. and
that forms the gauge of the increased
volume OF business. The Middle states
cities naturally show the heaviest in
erease-61.7 per oent-over a year ago
but the far Western group gain is SO

per cent. Southwestern cities 32.S per

committee has flooded the state with cir

amount of mortgages owned by Mr.. Shaw.
The facts are that he has not dollar in
mortgages, The device is shown IN even

Ex-President Harrison has rendered
the Republican party in New York city
a very great service. An influential
and impartial authority has had the
courage TO say. what is true, that all
the talk about Gen. Tracy being the
creature OF Mr.. Plat or anyone else, is
foolish. Tracy is. indeed, too big
man IN national politics TO be referred
to In this way. and he will do what be
thinks right and for the best interest
Of the city
Tracy is fully the equal OF Seth Low
In ability and independence OF charae-
ter; and there is no more fear OF Tracy
being the henehman OF Plat than there
is Of Low being the henchman of
Worth. Ii matters nothing TO the city
OF New York whether Tracy or Low
be elected; but Republican, understand
fully that the contest is also for su-
premaey. They know that the Low
movement was engineered by Jacob
Worth, notorious boss OF Brooklyn,
In order to wrest the leadership OF the
party from Plat. who is in every re-
spect, in intelligence, in character. in
integrity. infinitely the superior of the
Brooklyn man, who has never been
anything but ward politician.
As the truth becomes more appar-
ent to the people OF New York. and
they realize the danger of Tammany
profiting by the split in the ranks of
the reputable voters, they will renew
their efforts to have Low retire. 1t will
be not that they think less of Low
than they do of Tracy, but that of the
two leaders they prefer Plat to Worth.
