The discoverer of this most successful

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 APP
proaches it. Paines celery compound
should be taken by everyone who is try
ing to get rid of nerve or blood diseases
or a disordered condition of the liver or
kidneys.
Such evidences of an unhealthy condi-
ton as those constant headaches, mel
ancholy, dyspepsia or constipation rapid
ly disappear under the cleansing, regnlat-
ing action of Paines celery compound.
Don't confound Paine's celery COM
pound with the ignorant, catch-penny,
short-lived remedies-sarsapar nerv-

semblance to Paine's CELERY compound as
the parasite vines do to the oaks that they
live on. Don't take anything less than

liked it much when all those scientific
people congratulated him on his pros

much; he just shooa hands with Arthur
and looked serious.
All this while Professor Empsen had
been getting ready for the experiment.

of course, but it's too much for me-;

man who wrote it is ever SO nice, and
he's on the staff of THE New Metro

For several weeks past the din of
preparation has been heard at Niagara
Falls, at times fairly rising above the
roar of the cataract. Yesterday after
noon. what is probably the most re-
iuarkable physical experiment of the
century was successfully consum-
mated"
Then lie told all about Professor
Empsen, and Arthur, and how he found
the substance. He called Arthur "a reti-
cent young scientist of brilliant prom-
ise." Arthur's a good deal more reti-
cent than be need be, 1 think; but there
was no need 10 say so. There was some
thing about me, too. and about uncle,
but it wasn't done IN mean way.

There was no fear that a current such
