PHYSICIANS ORDER 1T !
a REMARKABLE COMPOUND THAT
REALLY CURES.
rheumatism, Neuralgia, and Distressing
Nervous Diseases.-Brenham Erug-
gists say that it has a Steadily
Increasing Sale.

Increasing SAFE.
Physicians prescribe it!
That is one of the several remarkable
things about Paine's celery compound that
distingui<h it from other advertised remedies.
Another noteworthy point about this COM
pound is that it was discovered by
Prof Phelps, L. L. D., of Dartmouth Col
lege, one of the ablest physicians and sur
geonS OF the country. <
Prof Phelps was aideoyin his work by
Col M. K. Pane. the well-known compound
ing chemist, and Paine'S ce:ery compcand
took Its name from the latter.
The result of their labors was a scientific,
common seEse remedy for those diseases and
troubles that result from weakened nerves
and overstrained mind. 1t is not sarsa-
parlla, bitters, or mere stimulant, but true
food for the nerves and brain, and is rightly
regarded by both the medical profession and
the public as an enequalled system Iegula-
tor.
But perhaps the most remarkable feature
in connection with this compound is that its
toimula is freely furnished to reputable ply
sicians, and for that reason, perhaps, they
ha special confidence in prescribing it,
knowing it % be harmless, as well as useful.
Such men as DIR. J. H. Hanaford. the
well-known medical authority and investiga-
tor, Adm. Livezey, M. D., who is editor OF
several medical journals, and DIR. a. W. K.
Newton, the skilful surgeon, endorse Paine's
celery compound with words of most posi-
| tive praise, and prescribe it for rheumatism,
neuralgia and all diseases that result from a
weakened and impoverished condition of the
nerves and blood.
Inquiries among the local drug trade elicit
the information that this compound is meet
ing with an increasing sale and that those Of
their customers who have used it, are highly
pleased with the results and invariably speak
of it in the highest terms
1t is particularly Pleasing at this time to
know that ere is a remedy that cures rheu-
mrtism, when the sufferer is within reach Of
human aid. In two or three instances, as
the BANNkK man learned from those who
had used the compound, the results were
almost miraculous, re toring to health men
| and women who had been confined to the
house 70 months, and enabling them to
welk wi .hout the aid OF crntches.
