resulting from vitiated humors in the blood,
such as s~crofula, chronic erysipelas, etc. They

The Gail has known the Byers family, of
Talbot. Ind, for a long time, and ]. W.
Byers is one of those deliberate men who
say little, but read and observe much. Mr..
Byers has been suffering for the past three
years with grip gand kindred troubles. His
mother has ever been q sufferer, resulting
later in the most aggravating form of rheu-
matism. Some time ago Mr.. Byers was per-
suaded by a neighbor to try DR.. Williams
Pink Pills. 1t didn't take long to set MIR,
Byers to talking about this remedy, and the
Cali sent O special representative to his home
to ascertain the exact facts. The subjoined
sworn statement of Mr.. Byers is sufficient.
1t tells the facts simply and briefly:
81 know positively that l was cured by
DR.. Williams Pink Pills. I was persuaded
by one of my ~neighbors, Maxen Williams,
to try them, as he claimed to have been
cured by them. l had the grip three times,
and was taken down with rheumatism, and
did not expect to live. The doctors said |
would never get well. They advised me to
take q change of climate. / was reduced
from one hundred and thirty-five to one
hundred and five pounds. As soon as | be-
gan taking the DIR. Williams Pink Pills l
began to gain strength and the use of my
limbs was restored. / had been almost help
less for two years, the stiffness in my limbs
had been painful in the extreme. But with
the use of the pills the pain ceased and now
/ am as Timber and as active as when q boy.
81 was also trouble a great deal with my
kidneys, but the ailment has entirely disap-
pearsd. / nav been a subject for the doctors
for Q long time. Two reputable physicians
had treated me for months, and / had spent
q large amount of money for patent medi-
cines. but to no avail. As l said, 1 finally

them all as the diamond is superior to
cheap glass;"
1t makes people well. 1t is the one
true specific recognized and prescrib-
ed to-day by eminent practitioners
for diseases alsrris- from a debilitated
nervous system. Prot phalns gave
to his profession a positive cure for
sleeplessness, wasting strength, dys-
pepsia, bi~liousness, liver complaint,
neuralgia, rheumatism, all nervous
diseases and kidney troubles. For all
such complaints Paine's celery COM
pound has succeeded again and again,
where everything else has failed.
When Modjeska in a letter publish
ed in Boston said: sI have found
Paine's celery compound the very best
of all remedies for the nervous ex-
haustion consequent upon the arduous
work of my profession" she voiced
the experience of every tired-out,
rundown, exhausted woman who
ever went to this greatest of all spring
remedies for relief.
No one ever yet failed to find
strength and health returning who
faithfully used natures true remedy
Paine's celery compound.

ardson & Company, says she has found
(what thousands of people in every
station of life have 80 often heartily
testified) that Paine's celery COM
pound is the very best of all remedies
for nervous exhaustion.
Jnsenh Haworth rightly calls Mod
jeska "the peerless queen OF artistes."
Modjeska's health Is a matter OF
world wide interest, and her testi-
monial to the value of the great remedy
which makes people well is of particu-
lar moment in the early spring, when
from every quarter reports come of
men, women and children who are
taking Paine's celery compound, and
are gaining in nervous vigor, weight
and every other indication of better
health.
The thoughtful portion Of the COM
munity knows the need of purifying
the blood and regulating the nervous
and alimentary system as spring
comes on.
There is the danger that In their
eagerness--to take a spring remedy a
thoughtless person may carry home
