Paine's celery compound has never yet failed to cure.
 Where ali other medical treatment has failed to relieve Pane's celery compound has succeeded time and time again.
 John w. Boyd of Mi>hlwakh, Ind, says of his own case:
 Last winter I was taken down with very severe attack of nervous and muscular rheumatism, so bad that l could not lie down, sit up, or stand, without the most excruciating pain. l was all the time under the care of two of the lest physicians of the place. but did not improve. l took diff ferent rheumatic cures and used an electric battery a halt hour each day for 10 days, without any relief.
 "Finally l concluded to try Paine's celery compound, and to my surprise after using One-half ot bottle was able to get out and vote on ele ton day, and he-ore used the o,e bottle 1 went to work, and have worked eve day since have

 My wife has also been taking 1t for Her- vOuSneSS. and thinks that there is nothing like it. We beth recommend it to all of our acquaintances, and you are at lirerty to use this letter as you Sse tit for it truly worked wonders in my case
 And Paine's celery compound is working just such wonders il every State, county, city and village of the country today.
 The reader must k"ow some one who has tried it. Ask that person if he or she was not at once benefited.
 Don't let dealer palm off anything else on you, however; for there is as much dlt- ference between Pa'ne's celery compound and all 1he ordinary sIrSaparillaS. tonicS uervine' and compounds as there is between an electric motor and boys windmill.
 There is power 10 cure in Paine's celery c 'mpCuld.

DIR. WILLIAMS THE INSTRUMENT r.
 From the Republican, Fresno, Cal
 4 case reported from Fresno County is that of well known former resident of Kingsburg, though. now residing at Selma.
 Mir. J. NJ. Purves is an old gentle. man of seventy, who, during his long residence in Kingsburg, was beloved alike by young and old, and he is equally endeared to the people of his new home.
 It was about July 15, 1896, that reporter of the Republican met Mir. Purves, and was astonished to see such an improvement in his appearance. He looked ten years younger and much stouter than when he moved away from KiDgsburg for the benefit of his health, and he was congratulated on his improved appearance.
 ''I was all run down when I moved away" MT. Purves said; something like an old clock that is worn out, but l have undergone such repairs as I think will keep me in running order for many years to come if no accident occurs" !"
 What was the agent that wrought the change, Mir. Puryes:" the reporter asked. Was 1t Pink Pills They seem to be doing all tne healing n Fresno County ''

''I happened to read one of the advertisements of their healing quail ties, and then read several more, and somehow there was something in the way the testimonials read that assured me they were true. One in the San Francisco Examiner especially inn l pressed me, and 1 sent at once and bought some of the pills.

His Presentation.

Boerhaave, the greatest doctor of his time, was anxious that it should go forth that even the most eminent doctor is somewhat of ''humbug." He care fully handed the key of small diary to his executor, bade him open it immedi- ately after his decease and let the con- tents go forth to the world at large. When the notebook was opened, all its pages but the last were blank, and on that final one there was written in large letters: Directions to patients: Keep your feet warm and your head cool and trust for the rest to Providence "-San Francisco Argonaut.

GIudness Comes

With a better understanding of the w transient nature Of the many phys teal ills which vanish before proper ef" forts-gentle efforts-pleasant efforts rightly directed. There is comfort in the knowledge that so many forms of sickness are not due to any actual dis ease, but simply to constipated condi- tion of the system, which the pleasant family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt ly removes. That is why it is the only remedy with millions of families, and is everywhere esteemed so highly by all whc value good health. Its beneficial effects are due to the fact, that it is the one remedy which promotes internal cleanliness, without facilitating the organs on which it acts. ltis therefore all important. in order to get its bene- ficial effects, to note wheIl you pGr- chase, that you have the genuine article, which is manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. only, and sold by all rep utable druggists.
 If in the enjoyment of good health, and the system is regular, then laXa- tives or other remedies are not needed. If afflicted with any actual disease, one may be commended to the most Skillful physicians, but if iE need of laxative, then one should have the best, and with the well-informed everywhere, Syrup of Figs stands highest and is most largely use1ard cives most general satisfaction

 "Yes, you will, mamma" interjected the girl, recovering herself. We must not forget ourselves in our own home."

nation.
The land parade was waited for after the con-

overcast with clouds and the wind increased

waters Of the Hudson reflected the ashen hue
of the sky. and the great white ships that

whipped up until black coats became brown.
