The enthusiasm and the curiosity
provoked by Nine. Sarah Bernhard
has never been equalled in the history
of the stage. One talks vaguely of
genius, temperament, quick intelli-
gence, passion, nervous mobility,
grace, smile, voice, charm, poetry
Mime. Sarah Bernhardt has them all.
Bernhard is to-day as enthusiastic
in her profession as though her career
were before her. She works as as
siduously during rehearsals as though
each performance were her "irst
night"
No one is more conscientious in all
matters pertaining to her life work.
She knows the incalcuIable value of
health, strength and high spirits as
thoroughly as she comprehends the
terms of her contracts, and no one
knows better than she how essential
to her artistic success is a vigorous
nervous system.
Nine. Bernhard writes the follow
ing letter:
81 beg leave to state that, according
to your instructions, I have used
Paine's celery compound, and I am
convinced that it Is the most powerful
nerve strengthened that can be found.
SIT is with the greatest pleasure that
I send you my sincerest testimonial.
Truly Yours, Sarah Bernhardt."
Good health is within the reach of
every one, not only the wealthy and
famous, but the poor as well, who will
rely on Paine's celery compound.
Ill health and disease are not natu-
raj. One should not compromise with
them. No one should give in to neu-
ralgia, rheumatism or heart trouble
when Paine's celery compound is
vouched for to drive them entirely
out of the system. 1t has done 80 in
thousands of carefully observed cases.

OF the list of the many so-called tncura-
BILE disorders none has proved to be more OF
an enigma to the most learned and accom-.
plished physicians than locomotor ataxia, or
as it is more commonly known, creeping
paralysis. This dread disease has bafied
their skill, and they nave been forced to
admit that they cannot successfully cope
with it. All they have been able to do is
to mitigate the accompanying pain and sui.
fering; beyond this the science of medicine
has been of little or no avail to the many
unfortunates who have Contracted the dread.
full malady, which, many people, especially
those who are thus afflicted, believe is a fore
runner of the grim messenger of death.
Thomas P. Bigg, who lives at No. 1919
St. Clair Street, corner Of Lawrence ST.,
Cleveland, o., has been suffering from loco,
motor ataxia for nearly five years, and
nothing but his wonderful vitality has pre-
vented his dissolution long before this.
The malady is directly attributable to his
exposure during army life. He enlisted in
the Third Regiment Ohio Cavalry in Toledo,
and served nineteen months in the volun-
teer service, and after the close of the rebel.
lion, eighteen months in the regular army.
"At first" he said in narrating his expert
ence, "my stomach vent back on me, and for
six weeks / was laid up in a hospital in
Texas. Ever since that time that organ has
caused me trouble, and about seven years age
the doctor told me i was suffering from acute
indigestion. That was bad enough, but four
years ago last July paralysis came on, and !
have been using these erutches ever since.
Thu paralysis was in my legs, and it eame
rather suddenly. ! noticed at first that my
knees were a little stiff, a sort of rheumatic
pain, syou know. This quickly developed
into paralysis"

TO TIE PUBLIC.
A Statement From the Mexico Crystal
Ice Company-They Will Be IN
Operation Shortly.

Several unavoidable circumstances
have been the cause of NJ delay in
starting the manufacture of artificial
ice, and while we regret this delay as
much as our friends, who were anx-
ious for us to locate here, the consum-
ers of ice will have at least the assur-
ance that within a few days we will
place upon this market, both at whole
sale and retail, a crystal ice made from
filtered and distilled water by the
latest and most improved compression
process, absolutely pure and free from
any germs.
To our friends who have the wrong
impression, that such chemicals as
ammonia, etc. are required to mix
with the distilled water while freez-
ing, we beg to state that this is alto
gether an erroneous idea, a full ex-
PLANTATION of which this paper will
present through its columns in the
near future.
Two ice wagons will furnish the
CONCEALED fluid to our customers and,
if necessary, a third will be added, in
order to expedite the delivery and
to avoid Irregularities which are apt
to present themselves in the settle
ment of small accounts.
We have placed on sale coupon
books for the convenience of Jul Gus
toners and ourselves. These books,
since their adoption in all cities, have
proven this system to be the best and
most practical for the business. These
books contain various coupons, from
five to fifty pounds, and are on sale at
our Office at the factory, or can be
had from Geo. A. Morris, Jr., our city
solicitor, who will take pleasure in
calling On friends for this purpose.
Hoping that this new enterprise In
your midst will meet with your ap-
prevail and receive due encourage
ment, WI are,
