Excepting its handful Of magnificent

people owe mere to Dartmouth's phys

Neutrality-suspicious. I have met peo-
pie to whom Paine's Celery Compound
has been a blessing"
The story of the life-work of this giant
among men has been often told and is
familiar to most readers. The likeness
above is probably the best portrait Of aim
vet printed.
1t was the world-famed discovery by
Prof. Phelps OF an infallsbie cure for those
fearful ills that result from an impaired
system and impure blood which
endeared the great doctor to fhe
world, and made his Life an era in the
practice of medicine.
Prof. Phelps was born in Connecticut

ana graduated IN medicine at yale.

and graduated IN medicine at Yale.
Hl1 unusua. talent soon brought him
reputation and prominence anon his pro-
f~essional bretherr. First he was elected to
the professorship Of anatomy and
surgery in the Vermont University. Next
he vas appointed lecturer on materia
rhediea and medical botany n Dartmouth
College. The next year he was chosen
professor of the chair then vacated by
Prof. Robby. and occupied the chair.
the most important one in the country,
at the time when he first formulated
his most remarkable prescription,
In view of the overwhelming testimony
70 the value of Paine's celery compound
that has recently appeared from men and
women of national reputation, the pic
ture of Prof. Phelps Is particularly in
teresting.
The fact is, Paine's celery compound is
not a patent medicine; it is not a sar-
saparilla; it is not a mere tonic; it is not
an ordinary nervine-it is as far beyond
them all as tho diamond is superior to
cheap glass.
It makes people we'll. It Is the one true
specific recognized and prescribed today
by eminent practitioners for diseases arts
ing from a debiIitated nervous system.

which makes him totally Independent of
politics. He belongs to M gang. old or
new. He is in a position to be perfectly
independent in all his actions. He is
far above the temptations of jobbery
and corruption in his personal character,
and he is far removed from the need of
resorting to such devices. through his
business success. Politics to him mean
the qualification of an honorable ambi-
ton, and the performance of a high pub
lie duty. He has given his services for
years, without any compensation what
ever, and the monetary consideration has
no place in his mind now, and still less
does any thought of crooked advantages
find Judgment there.
The attacks of Z. w. Woolley, / those
of the Journal" are an insul not only
to him but to every business man of his
class in the city. The attack on him is
equivalent to a hint that any business
man, no matter what position he has
made for himself. is menap 10 Vehai
temptations. This should be resented by
every se~lf-respecting merchant and citi-
zen. by a vote cast for Mr.. Hoos.
Democrats are growing tired Of being
abused. We have heard too much Of the
old gang. We resent being called bush
whackers'' by hedgling statesmen like
Mr.. Klink, and "corruptionists'' by hard
ened political hacks like Woolley: We
are going to resent it. We win not be
called names with impunity. The Demo
cratic party in his city represents as
much brains. respectability, property and
public spirit as does the Republican party,
and it has far more of the people in its
ranks. 1t is going to punish its assail-
ants for their unjustifiable attacks. and
the first lesson in political courtesy will
be given them on Tuesday.

Prof. Phelps a V to his profession a
positive cure for sleeplessness, wasting
strength, dyspepsia, ~biliousness. liver com
paint neuralgia, rheumatism, all ner-
vous diseases and kidney troubles. For
all such complaints Paine's celery COM
pound has succeeded again and again
where everything else has failed.
No remedy was ever so highly recon-
mended. because none ever accomplished
so much.
. Today Paine's celery compound stands
without competition for feeding exhausted
nerves and building W the strength of the
body. II cures radically and permanently.
The nervous ptostration and genera de-
bility from which thousands of women
suffer so long that it finally gets to be a
second nature with them-all this suffer-
ing and dependency can be very soon re-
moved by properly feeding the nerves. and
replacing the unhealthy blood by a
fresher. more highly yitalized fluid. A
healthy increase in appetite and a cor
responding gain in weight ana good
spirits follow the use Of Paine celery
compound
Paine's celery compound is the most
remarkable medical achievement of this
last half of the nineteenth century.

There has never been a time in his
city when the meetings held by two
rival political parties have offered a
better criterion of the prospects of the
campaign thar in the present c~onjuncture.
Generally, the minority party. whichever
it might be. has been able to rally a
good gang of u 10 make an i'm
preston on the public mind.
The Republicans do not seem to be
able to do even that this time. The at
fempts at meetings have been ludicrous.
There were not over a hundred people in
Bergen Hall on Thursday evening. and
that occasion was merely the counterpart
Of all their other gatherings. The party
is apathetic. The bosses and the Office
holders may be hustling, but the rank and
file have no heart in the struggle.
On the contrary. the Democratic demon
monstrations have been remarkable for
number and enthusiasm m the Republic
can strongho1ds, there nave been great
Democratic t~urnouts. The Sixth Ward,
down in Lafayette, held a meeting, i'm
: promptu, and oyer three hundred voters
gathered rat it. Two big meetings have
been held in the Eighth Ward, in the
heart Of the Republican Bergen section.
Both were numerotsly attended in spite
Of drenching rain, and the temper of the
men who were present was beyond any
possibility of mistake.
Up msthe northern part of the city,
there has long been great dissatisfaction
with the powers that be. This has simply
broken loose since the opening of the
present campaign. and the Tenth,
Eleventh and Twelfth Ward Clubs have
held great n enthusiastic meetings.
Finally, there was. the big downtown
demonstrated at st. Bridgetss Hall last
night. 1t IS said that this was the largest
and 1t certainly was one of the most as
sertive Of its ideas, for every point made
In behalf Of the Democratic cause and
ticket was cheered to the echo.
In these circumstance there is much
cheer In a political campaign. there is
a certain something in the air, a sort of
electrical condition, which affects the
eontesting parties in contrary ways. like
the influence of positive and negative cur
rents on a galyanometer.
IN the present fight the current is rum
ming the Democratic way Democratic
victory is in the air. It is sweeping to-
wards us in a tidal wave from the west,
and, beforesit stops, 1t will sweep over
not only Jersey City but the Greater New
York The confidence and courage are on
Dur side. The. chill of despond is upon the
enemy Nobody who is sensitive to the
movements of the popular mind and sym
pathy can doubt for a moment what the
result will be on Tuesday.
