Francis Murphy, the widest known
temperance advocate in the world, was
born 60 years ago in an humble cot
tage in Ireland. He is the founder of
the " blue ribbon" and iron clad
PLEDGE movements. Mr., Murphy and
Mr.. Moody have recently been laboring
together in some of the large cities.
How deeply they have entered into the
affections Of the country every one
knows.
Five thousand people have just
signed Mr.. Murphy's temperance
pledge in Boston.
Mr. Murphy is great believer in
Paine's celery compound. For years
he has been thoughtfully observing and
advising men for their bodily and spir-
itual welfare.
9 A sound mind in a sound body"
has been the constant theme of this
great philanthropist.
Because of its power Of strengthen
ing and restoring the nerves and brain
Palne's celery compound is used today
in many such families as that of Mr..
Murphy where no other remedy would
be thought of for a moment.
Mr.. Murphy writes to The Boston
Globe:-'E Paine's celery compound has
been used in my family with good eff
feet. Tt is a splendid remedy"
The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1897-03-25

The discoverer Of this most success
full of remedies was no mere theorist.
Prof. Edward E. Phelps, M. D., LID,
of the Dartmouth Medical School, had
accumulated the most absolutely con-
vincing evidence Of the remarkable
virtue of his great discovery, enough to
satisfy the most slzeptically inclined
person, before he offered Paine's celery
compound to his fellow practitioners
and to the world
For absolute reliability in routing
out obstinate disorders from the sys
tenn there is nothing that at all resem-
bles or approaches it. Paine's celery
compound should be taken by everyone
who is trying to get rid Of nerve or
blood diseases or a disordered condi
ton of the liver or kidneys.
Such evidences of an unhealthy con-
dition as those constant headaches,
melancholy, dyspepsia or constipation
rapidly disappear under the cleansing,
regulating action of Paine's celery
compound.
Don't confound Paine's celery com
pound with the ignorant, catch-penny
short-lived remedies, -sarsaparillas,
nervines and tones that bear as much
resemblance to Paine's celery COM
pound as the parasite vines do to the
oaks that they live on. Don't take
anything less than Paine's celery com
| pound.
