of remedies was no mere theorist. Prof.
Edward f. Phelps. NJ. D., Ii. D., of
the Dartmouth Medical School had ac-
cumulated the most absolutely convinc-
ing evidence of the remarkable virtue of
his great discovery, enough to satisfy
the most skcptically inclined person, be-
fore he offered Paine's celery compound
to his fellow practitioners and to the
world.
For absolute reliability in routing out
obstinate disorders from the system
there is nothing that at all resembles or
approaches it. Paine's celery compound
should be taken by everyone who is try
ing to get rid of nerve or blood diseases
or a dsordered condition of the liver or
kidneys.
Such evidences of an unhealthy cOndi-
ton as those constant headaches, melan-
choly, dyspepsia or constipation rapidly
disappear under the cleansing, regulat-
ing action of Paine's celery compound.
Don't confound Paine's celery COM
pound with the ignorant, catch-penny,
short-lived remedies, sarsaparillas, ner-
vines and tonics that bear as much re-
semblance to Paine's celery compound
as the parasite vines do to the oaks that
they live on. Don't take anything less
than Paine's celery compound.

The Jury in the Marsh murder trial
at Montpelier brought in verdict
Tuesday morning of guilty of muir
der in the first degree against lsa-
Isabelle A. Marsh and William G. Buzz
zell, the respondents. The parties be-
long in Mortified and had been on trial
for month. In the course Of the trial
at Montpelier the government alleged
and submitted evidence to show that
Buzzell and Mrs. Marsh had been unduly
intimate. The existence of this intimacy
was held by the prosecution to show a
motive for doing away with Marsh.
Marsh was Is years of age and had twice
married previous to his marriage with
defendant. Some of the most incrimina-
ting evidence relating to Mrs. Marsh's
relations with Buzzell was offered by a
son by her first marriage. The evidence
showed that Marsh died from arsenical
poisoning.
