Charles f. Osgood, Of Boston, the owner
of the largest and most successful furni-
ture business in New England, if not in
the country, was one of the few large
buyers among furniture dealers during the
hard times of last year, who did a great
business, always paying cash. moving on
as if times were good, while rival con-
Germs were going to pieces right and left
all about. His credit from Michigan to
Maine became so conspicuously solid
that he was one of the most talked OF
young men in commercial circles.
With limited means, but well bred, full
of character, straightforward, and well
educated, he started in business only a
few years ago in a very moderate way in
a little store on fremont street in Boston.
The city began to know him quickly. His
business rapidly assumed big proportions.
A newspaper one day interviewed him in
the column Of Men Worth Knowing"
s'To what do you attribute your sue
cess?' asked the interviewer.
Mr.. Osgood replied very shortly: When
in doubt, buy the best goods"
He is known everywhere today by that
expression.
Work told on Mr.. Osgood's health. With
characteristic judgment he put his re-
lance upon natures best remedy to make
him we'll again. The best OF medical
treatment was at his disposal; there GER
tainly was no physician that a man IN
his position could not employ. he got
the right advice. and followed it. To-
day he is perfectly we'll, good-tempered'
aggressive and energetic to the last de-
gree.
In a letter to the proprietors of Paines
celery compound, written Sept. ", 1875
Mr.. Osgood said
II have derived great benefit from the
use of Paine's celery compound, and can
unhes5tatingly recommend it for building
up the system when run down" inc tired

tion of a friend whom it had cured of a
fearful case of insomnia. and whose wife,
| I understand, was first relieved of a long
troubling rheumatism by the same rem
edy."
Work is necessary to a healthful BODY
and brain; but when it runs through the
same grooves through the twelve months,
year in and year out, the effect is as dis
| astrous as a 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 the blood and the
| digestive and assimilative organs keep the
nerves badly nourished.
The tired system needs help. Here is
where Paine's celery compound accom-
plishes it's wonderful work. The radical
| purifying of the blood and the rapid feel
! ing of the nerves by his 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 organization and
it's cleansing action on the Initiated blood.
1t cures the body of that nervous habit,
eradicates headache. cures insomnia ana
wasting diseases, and quickly drives out
the poisonous humors that cause the
aches and pains of rheumatism and neu-
ralgia. For building up the body against
general debility, poor appetite and the
tired Hfeless feelings that accompany a
low nervous tone. Paine's celery COM
pound is beyond all question the surest,
most responsible remedy any one can use.
An afling habit, with frequent bodily
pains over the seat of such vital organs
as the heart, brain or kidneys is serious
and urgent. The descent to fatal dis
ease 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 or
gans, and get out of danger.

RAVINE ROAD SEWER.
Conferences 10 Straighsen Ont ths
Difficulties in the Way.

Mayor Hoos received a visit yesterday
from the Ravine Road Sewer Commits
sioners, who sought to smoother over the
difficulties which have arisen between
them. the city, the citizens on the north
side of the Erie tracks and st. Lucy's
Roman Catholic Church. The Mayor
thinks the city has paid too much for the
land; the citizens and the church people
think their sewers are being ruined, n
the Commission thinks hat both parties
are grievously in error. Another objee-
ton on the part OF His Honor is that the
Commissioners began putting in piles ON
the land before They actually purchased 1t.
But. Your Honor explained Commits
sioners c. w. Harrison, Nj. L. Connolly
and Theophilus Butts, we were appoint

along the tines laid down in the petition
for condemnation"
Nevertheless His Honor thought, tnat
the land was unreasonabiy high, and tnat
was why he vetoed it a few days ago.
The conference was of course an amlcaple
one, but since the Mayor wouldn't bulge
from his position, the results were NIL

most benehcent American of his epoch on

especially for these agile brothers, and
they go sailing through The WINDOWS,
Jumping headlong through the sides OF the
houses and tumbling through a trick
coach in the most reckless and startling
manner. The best scene is in the second
act, when the interior of adjoining state
rooms on an ocean steamer is shown TO
the audience. The state rooms are occu-
pied by the four Byrne Brothers, and while
the ship is rolling in the waves. they in
troduce some of the best acrobatic turns.
