ton OF friend whom 1t had cured Of n fearful
case OF insomnia, and whose wife, I understand
wis first relieved OF a long troubling rheumatism
by the same remedy's
Work Is necessary to healthy body and brain:
but when 1t runs through the same grooves through
the twelve months year in and year out the effect
Is as disastrous as n fire in a bundle of wood.
When the nervous system is tagged out none Of
the organs Of the body do their duty the purifying
excretory organs do not thoroughly cleanse blood
and the digestive and assi,nilatiye organs keep the
nerves badly nourished
The tired system needs help. Here is where
Pane's celery compound accomplishes its wonderful
work. The radical purifying of the blood and the
rapid feeding OF the nerves by this great remedy
prevents the development of diseases that often
Turk unrecognized in the system.
Every one who has taken Paine's celery compound
has noticed and remarked to others its wonderful
strengthening effect upon the entire nervous organ
lzation and Its cleansing action the initiated
blood. 1t cures the body of that nervous habit
eradicates headache, insomnia and wasting
diseases, and quickly drives out the poisonous bu
mors that cause the aches and pains of rheuma tsm
and neuralgia. Fer building up the body against
general debility, poor appetite and the tired life
less feelings that accompany a low nervous tone
Paine's celery compound is beyond all question the
surest, most responsible remedy any one can use
An ailing hehit, with frequent bodily pains over
the seat OF such vital organs rs the heart brain
or Kidneys, Is serious and urgent. The descent TO
fatal disease is easy, whenever the body becomes
run down." Build up the strength and resistance
of the nervous and digestive systems with Paine's
celery compound, get rid Of unhealthy conditions OF
these organs, and get out Of danger.

In the early history of the Grand Army it
had political purpose, and its influence WAS
pronounced all over the country in support OF
that political party which had supported the
soldiers in the field.
As time paSsed the South became recon-
ciled; the issue of secession passed out of
political consideration, and loyalty
yielded up by US former edherents; love of
the Union possessed the hearts of all the peo-
pie; distrust of the South disappeared: the
Grand Army eliminated politics utterly and
entirely, and became purely social Organiza-
tion, as II j. to-day, but with this one single

other social ORGANIZATIONS III the country.
That purpose, as formulated and made part OF

ITO maintain true allegiance to the United
States Of America, based upon paramount re-

tion and laws; 10 diseoun teuance whatever

impairs the efficiency and PeTmaGence Of our
