New York City, Oct. 8, 1897
Gentlemen-I think it but fair to you
that I bear testimony to the beneficial
results of my use of Paine's celery
compound.
Two years ago I was almost a wreck
from nervous prostration, resulting
from overwork, mental and physical.
I had lost my memory completely, and
friends feared I would never recover.
After trying several remedies to no
avail, my physician prescribed Paine's
celery compound, and within few
days there was decided Improvement

so much better that it was unnecessary
for me to continue it's use. Since then

do all that I claim for it.


To anyone suffering from any of the
ills attendant upon continued loss Of
sleep 1 can and do heartily recommend
it. Very truly yours,
MAYME L. HAINES.
In all cases of nervous prostration,
nervous indigestion, neuralgia, sleep
lessness, hysteria or incessant head
ache, the objective point of true rem
edy like Paines celery compound is to
make more blood, gather flesh and in
crease the number of red, health giving
corpuscles in the blood
Paines celery compound fills the YES
sells with red blood, drives out the dam
gerous humors, and thus gives relief to
a host of aches, pains and weaknesses.
Women and men who have lost flesh
and grown colorless, and are subject
health from Paine's celery compound.
There is hardly family of any size
where there is not some member who is
feeble, forever tired and below the
standard of health, to whom Paine's
celery compound would prove of inval-
liable help. Not only does this great
invigorator drive out the aches and
distresses that have accumulated be-
cause of neglected rheumatism or neu-
ralgia, but the liberal gain in flesh and
blood that is always noticeable and
encouraging result of its use, brings
about better health in the digestive
assimilative and secretive organs; in
other words, all over the body.

HORSE AND MAN.
One Carefully and the Other Care
Iessly Fed.

An honest man should be honest
with his body. The owner of horse
is usually particular to know that
sweet and properly cured hay and
clean oats and corn are furnished for
his feed. The owner would be consid-
cred as lacking in judgment and COM
mon humanity If he fed his horse
drugs or narcotics. They would rob
the horse of his power and health.
The horse has the advantage of a
simple diet, with selected food ele-
ments that are we'll known to furnish
him with the greatest amount of en-
ergy and preserve him IN prime condi-
ton, while the owner, IN many cases,
partakes of some properly selected food
at his meals, but adds coffee, possibly
three times a day.
If the owner has proven by daily ex-
perience that he can digest coffee and
that it does not detract from his health
in any manner, it would be admissible
for him to continue it's use, even al
though it furnishes no food value, but
is simply a stimulant and narcotic.
If, however, rheumatism, which pro-
ceeds from a disorganized liver, or
constipation, which frequently comes
from a disarranged nervous system,
combined with stomach and liver
trouble, or if the heart palpitates I'M
pleasantly or runs down low in it's
beats, he may conclude that the cause
of it all, the drug which we know of
under the name of coffee, is doing an
insidious work, and that, if continued,
will certainly shorten his days.
In order to determine whether or no
coffee is the cause of the difficulty, it
could be abandoned for time and
Postum Cereal Food Coffee used in it's
place This kind of experiment has
proved the salvation of many men
and women in America to-day.
& =
Postum is the only Cereal Coffee vet
discovered, with a coffee taste, that is
pure and free from low grade coffee or
other drugs. :

MR.. MERwIN WILL RETIRE.
Well known Clergyman to Build on
Milford Harbor,


Milford Harbor.
rev NJ I. Merwin, we'll known in
TINS vicinity as q Congregational cler-
gyman of fine quality, expects to make
an important change. The announce
meht which he made recently that he
would probably terminate his connec-
uon and retire from the pastorate Of
the Poquonnock Congregational church,
at the beginning of the new year, was
received by his many friends with the
most unfeigned regret During his min
lnstry there, which has extended over a
period of about nine years, succeeding
Rev. Mr.. Pettibone, he has been ever
diligent in supporting and promoting
every good work having for It's object
the moral and intellectual we'll being
OF the community.
By his courtesy, affability and true
christian condescension he has endear-
ed himself, not alone to the members
OF his own congregation, but to those
without his fold, to whom the news Of
his decision is equally regretful. AS a
minister of the gospel his conception Of
his holy office exalted itself above sect
or creed, and his desire for the better

low man knew no bounds. His resolu-
ton to retire was formed about a year
ago, and he would have done SO last
spring. but at the solicitation of influ-
entail members of his church he was
prevailed upon to continue his minis
tration to the end of the current year.
Mr.. MerWin has been in the Christian
ministry for a full generation of over
SO years, serving as pastor of the Con-
gregational church Of Trumbull, Conn,
a quarter of a century and having been
for most nine years the pastor of the
Poquonnock Congregational church In
Windsor, Conn.
His wife has not only been an inces-
SAINT worker within her parish, but her
wider missionary labors are known
and valued by other churches in the
state.
They expect to retire from the pas
torate, but not from the ministry, and
build home on Milford harbor, where
Mr.. Merwtn now owns seashore cot
tage and has given the locality the
name of Harbor Home.-Bridgepor
