The strength of muscle comes
from long continued exercise; the
strength of an ideal from years Of
devotion to it; strength of mind
from patient training; strength of
character from the markings left by
decades of struggle And there is no
short way!
Would you seek the royal road to
the pinnacle of your life's highest pos
sibilities? Then move forward,
watching for guide-post with the
single word Effort" Turn in by it
and press on, though it does not lead
by fowery paths through valley
fields. Your highest, like a noun
tain-top, will never seem to move
toward you until you move towards
it. Ways of life are thus divided -
to the doubling and timid ones, the
lowly paths that give no wide out
look; to the fearless and purposeful
ones, ways that climb upward, lead
ing by many grand experiences TO
prospect most broad and to an at
mosphere most exhilarating. And
what is this upward triumph over
the downward tendencies of our
nature, but the counterpart of real
mountain climbing, in which the
world ever grows broader and vet
more silent at every forward step
and backward glance. There, alone
with the Highest, our hearts are filled
with mingling emotions, our eyes
glisten with tears and we know not
why; save that we are SMALL
smaller in relation to the universe
than an invisible animalcule is to us
-great-greater than all created
things if we unite our force with the
Force above, weak weaker than
veriest thread if we forget our union
with the great human family below
sad-sadder than we can understand
because so many of our fellows are
contented with narrow valley.sight.

weakness of his enemies, who, raised
to Heaven by their privileges,
brought themselves down to destruc-
ton; not by the wickedness of any
one man, but by the general un.
righteousness and consequent feeble
ness of the many.
Alas! the strong and the weak to-
gether make up a nation, and it's
continuous power is possible only by
an increase of the strong and a de-
crease of the weak. The weak are
those who utilize life to the full; who,
loving the comfort of the hot house,
perish at the sincere chidings of the
north wind; who crumble like sand
ramparts at the first touch of the
ocean OF testing that all characters
must endure if they would be true !;
who seek for themselves the quiet
inches of life, satisfied to forego the
bonors il only they can escape the
strivings that precede honors; who,
like tropic savages, are content with
food secured without labor and much
sleep with late awakenings; who
being weak are selfish, and shut
away their compassion from strug-
Cling, eager humanity whose efforts
they scorn, but whose shoe-strngs
they are not worthy to unloose ;
who have the forms OF men but the
virulent softness of jelly. fish; who
have the outer appearance of manly
grandeur but the attributes of inter
nal parasites, hidden, despised, inver-
tebrate, yet ever fed by other slabor.

been utilized in the building of this sue.

one that getting out big newspaper,

Gentlemen 1t is with great pleasure
that bear testimony to the beneficial
results which almost invariably follow
the use of that king OF all remedies
-Paine's celery compound As a tonic,
Tree from deleterious material, it has, to
my way of thinking, no equal. This
remedy is positive boon to all nerve

Very truly yours,

Paine's celery compound creates a
wholesome demand tor food, and cures
a disordered stomach and costive bowels.
For all ailments and weaknesses that
have grown out OF defects OF nutrition,
such as nervousness loss of strength,
thin and pale blood, loss of weight and
lowness OF spirits, Paines celery COM
pound is the legitimate and logical cure.
1t overcomes loss OF nervous power and
lessened power to digest food, by gener-
ously feeding the nerves and regulating
their action. 1t banishes that continual
tired feeling by cleansing the blood OF
clogging impurities, and by stirring the
kidneys and other purifying organs to
healthiu activity.
Paine's celery compound has cured
many and many cases of dyspepsia.
sleeplessness, disordered liver and stom-
ach trouble that had puzzled physicians,
and the outcome of which seemed hope
less.
Many obstinately dyspeptic persons
have gotten rid OF every distressing
symptom by its invigorating help. Grave
general defects OF nutrition that have
shown themselves in wasted condition,
weakness and loss Of strength have re-
peatedly yielded to this remarkable
remedy.
