l
Mrs. Kester Haines, Prominent New York
Hostess, Relieved Of Insomnia by Paine's
Celery Compound,
There exists among women who are
much in society form OF WEAKNESS re.
sulting from overtaxed nerves, more in.
tense and depressing than any known to
tired muscles.
The overcrowded lives of such women
make them slaves anxicties and annoy.
ances which they cannot ignore.
The following letter from one of New
York's busiest hostesses shows how i'm
plicitly Paine's celery compound is relied
on among the most intelligent, well.to-do
families as well as in the many more hum
BILE households all over the country.
New York City, Oct. 8, 1897.
Gentlemen-I think it but fair to you
that | bear testimony to the beneficial
results of my use of Paines celery com.
pound.
Two years ago was almost wreck
from nervous prostration, resulting from
overwork, mental and physical. l had
lost my memory completely, and friends
feared would never recover. Alter try
ing several remedies to no avail, my ply
sician prescribed Paine's celery com
pound, and within few days there was
decided improvement in nv condition.
After the use Of three bottles | was so
much better that it was unnecessary for
me to continue its use. Since then Ihave
recommended it widely. and | have vet
to hear that it has tailed to do all that |
claim for it.
To any one suffering from any of the
Ills attendant upon continued loss of
sleep can and do heartily recommend it.
Very truly yours. Wayne l.. Haines.
In all cases of nervous prostra alton,
nervous Indigestion, neuralgia, sleepless-
ness, hysteria or incessant headache, the
objective point OF true remedy like
Paine's celery compound is to make more
blood, gather flesh and increase the num-
Der of red, health-giving corpusces in the
blood.
Paine's celery compound fills the yes.
sells with red blood, drives out the dan
gerous humors and thus gives relief to
host of aches, pains and weaknesses.
Women and men who have lost flesh
and grown colorless and are subject to
aches and pains, gain quickly in health
from Palne's celery compound. There is
hardly a family of any size where there
is not some member who is feeble, forever
tired and belo the standard of health to
whom Paine's celery compound would
prove of invaluable help. Not only does
this great invigorator drive out the
aches and distresses that have accumu-
lated because OF neglected rheumatism or
neuralgia, 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, as
similative and secretite organs; in other
words, all over the body.
