A few weeks ago there was published
a testimonial of the great virtue Of
Paine's celery compound from Rev.
Charles L. Thompson, d. D., Ii. D.,
the eminent Presbyterian preacher of
New York City Rev. Dr. Meek, editor
of the Central Methodist, recently
wrote an open letter, telling that
Paine's celery compound had worked
a remarkable cure in his case. And
last month the great temperance evan
gelist, Francis Murphy, told the public
how Paine's celery compound had been
a blessing in his family.
These arc a few among thousands.
Every one knows conscientious, chari-
table persons, who are too busy, more
often too procrastinating. to save their
health from going 10 pieces, and find IL
easier to help others than themselves.
Such persons fill up the army of broken
down business men and sickly women.
Every one in this Spring time needs
to purify the blood and regulate the
nerves. Carry home to-day-not by and
by-a bottle of Paine's celery COM
pound. Cure nervousness, neuralgia
and rheumatism this Spring. You can
now put your health on a sound basis
by means of Painos celery compound.
Charity should now begin at home,
Attend to your own health and that OF
your family
Paine's celery compound is within the
reach Of every family where there is a
member afflicted by any stomach. liver
or kidney trouble It cures permanently
and rapidly.
1t must be distinguished from all
other remedies.
