There was never a remedy so eminent
ly successful, so far above and beyond
all competition, as Paine's celery COM
pound.
Paine's celery compound effects mar
yelOus cures.
Where other remedies miserably fail,
and where doctors do not succeed, there
Paine's celery compound is found curing
disease, making people well and happy.
Here is the case of Mrs. Half. who
lives at 40 Summer Ave, Newark, n.
j., and whose portrait is printed here.
"My DOCTOR" she says, "called my
disease liver complaint, stomach trouble,
nervous dyspepsia, and almost every
other name you could think of. When
| was in Portland, Orr, | had enlarg-
ment of the liver and the doctor thought
all the troubles came from that severe
spell of illness. That was u years ago,
and | have done nothing but doctor ever
since. | have had the best physicians
examine me and see if they could do
anything for me. For months at time
my stomach and liver have been so sore
that | could lie in bed only in misery,
and with such severe pain in my back,
and so weak that could hardly talk.
"After | had a bad night | would send
for the doctor and he would leave me a
small box of powders and one or two
other medicines, and it would cost me
81 every time | had one of these spells.
| believe have taken more medicine
than any other living woman.
Last March | had a call from a lady
friend of mine, who asked me, "What is
the matter with you?' | replied by say
ing, allow well you look" "Yes," she
said, II never felt so well in my life"
She is woman of 10. "And now,"

she said, II want to give you little adj
vice. I have been almost at deaths
door with liver trouble. After the doc
tor had done all that he could for me
told him not to come again | showed
him bottle of Paine's celery compound
and told him | was going to give that a
fair trial. As a result | am strong and
we'll.
~ sent right over to the drug store
and got bottle of Paine's celery COM
pound, and when had taken two bot
ties the soreness had left my stomach
and my side felt much better. After
had taken four bottles my side was much
stronger. and was in better spirits and
felt as though might live and not be in
such misery. Working people now
adays work the vitality all out every
week and all ask is to be able to earn
the money have to every week.
"Paines celery compound has enabled
me to do this and has done me more
good than all the doctors put together.
"Why, my nervous system is so en-
tirely strengthened that feel like a new
being, and what is more, look the good
the medicine has done me, right in my
face and eyes. just tell all poor women
for me that for a medicine to build one
up, give Paine's celery compound a fair
trial, and if it does not do it. then they
might as well die. | have recommended
it to several and it has helped in every
case. | have a great deal to worry me,
and a dose of the compound gives me
quiet sleep and then can work. If any
one wishes to write me they can do so.'
Why should a sick person do anything
else but try bottle of Paines celery
compound?

LErrERs TO MlppLseuRY PEOPLE.

Mrs. f. w. JUDD, Middlebury, vt.
Mdddm:-Perhaps you think the price
of our Harmless soap too high.
VIII you permit us to say you are
wrong? 1t costs no more than your &c.
or sc. soap; 1t costs less by the week,
and that is the way to reckon. You will
use less of it..
We have told you nothing about the
principal part of washing economy.
Cheap soap rots the Clothes ours don't.
The difference is perhaps $50 to 500 a
year.
If your soap makes washing easier
very likely it does-it is strong with I've,
and very bad soap.
Your grocer sells Harmless soap on a
positive guarantee that one bar (Sc) will
Outwash two sc. cakes. "3c. back if it
don't"

Parkers Shooting Galleries Are Prov
ing Very Popular.

One man who is having hard work
to keep up with his increased business
is c. W. Parker He has Just sold a
merry.go-round for $1,000, and today
sold one shooting gallery for $1,000
and another for $500. He has ordered
$4,000 worth of new material for u
new galleries, and will 60 to New
York City to select the same. Four
Of these will be put on the road by
himself. These galleries are proving
the most profitable amusement enter
prise Of the times and are making
money for all who engage in them
For instance, one that is out pays $500
a month above expenses. Mr.. Parker
certainly has bonanza and is becom-
ing leader in his business for the
whole west. He expects to build the
new galleries here and will have a
large force at work. Scores of in
quiries come to him for more CALLER
les, and it seems to be generally rec
ognized as great investment. 1t

MUCH WATER FELL.
NORTH DICKINSON GOT A REAL
S0AXER.
Rainfall at Abilene Was l.l9 Inches
No Damage Done While the
Corn Was Greatly Helped and
Wheat Ground Softened.

The storm that came up about 4
o'clock Friday and lasted until
nearly midnight in various parts of
the horizon was one Of the best rains
of the season. In north Dickinson it
was very heavy. In Cheever township
it is thought that fully 3 inches Of
water fell but it did not come so
rapidly as to cause flooding OF the
fields. The fall in Abilene was LIZ
inches. South Dickinson got a good
rain and the late corn is wonderfully
helped. Flowing for wheat has been
difficult in some sections OF the
county owing to dry weather but this
will soften the soil and work will 90
on rapidly. A larger acreage than
that of last season will be put in.

SAW THE HEALER.
J. L. Brechbill Was However Not
Cured by Faith.

Not long was the trip Of j. L..
Brechbill. the consumptive who
started for Chicago. He reached
there and was under the ministra-
tions Of "Dr,' Dowie the healer for a
day. Dowie prayed for him and laid
on hands but said that the cure must
come from on high. On Monday Mr.
Brechbill felt better but wanted to
come home. The journey weakened
him and he is reported as consider
ably worse. Ii is feared that he can
live but short time. N. II. Zook
who went with him thinks the patient
lacked in faith and that had he had
sufficient faith he would have been
cured.
