Electric Ritters.

Electric Bitters is a medicine suited for
any season, but perhaps more generally
needed when the languid exhausted feeling
prevails, when the liver is torpid and slug
gish and the need Of a tonic and alternative
is felt. A prompt use of this medicine has
often averted long and perhaps fatal bilious
fever. No medicine will act more surely
in cnouteracting and freeing the system
from the malarial poison. Headache, Indi.

the prompt and efficient manner in
which he acted regarding this case.

blood and the breaking down in con-
sequence of some particular organ.
When MI. Graham, writing January
1s, 1897, said: 81 have used Paine's
celery compound to my benefit, and l
have no doubt that any person IN
dergoing great physical and mental
strain would find it of great service.
For students especially it ought to be
of great value" When SO prominent a
student of bodily health, who has no
equal, unless, perhaps, one mentions
DR.. Sargent, of Harvard, with whose
methods Mr.. Graham became well ac-
ouainted at Harvard-when Mr.. Ora
ham says bluntly that after his exper-
fence he believes others would find
Paine's celery compound Of great
service, what man or woman out of
perfect health q afford to neglect
his well considered and expert advice.
There is no doubt that Paine's Gel
cry compound cleans the blood of
eczema, salt rheum and such humors
not only in the spring, that is SO
favorable a time, but at any time dur
ing the year, so thoroughly thatnoth-
ing further is ever heard of them.
Paine's celery compound has been
tested, tried. scrutinized and heartily
approved by SO many impartial ply
sicians and men and women whose
word in any matter would not be
questioned for a moment that one
must be stubborn minded indeed who
prefers to NOPE around half sick in
stead of verifying these positive,
straightforward statements.

College, who after years of patient in
vestigation and study, assisted by al
that was best in the progress of medi-
cal science at home and abroad, first
discovered the wonderful formula Of
Paine's celery compound.
There was no doubt of the interest
that would be awakened at once by
the announcement of any discovery
by Prof. Phelps. The formula from
the first was furnished to the best
physicians, and forthwith this re-
markable Paine's celery compound
was personally used and professionally
prescribed by them. The result of the
closest investigation might have been
expected. 1t Don required a con-
siderable industry to produce the
remedy, and rapidly but steadily,
without ceasing, the demand for
Paine's celery compound has increas-
ed, until to-day there Is no other rem
edy that in comparison begins to hold
half the public attention that it holds.
In untold number of cases where
every other remedy has been tried
and failed, Paine's celery compound
has attained the v7ished-for results,
making the weak strong, purifying
the blood, rebuilding the wornout
nervous tissue, curing chronic sick
ness, proving a never-failing and per-
manent relief for rheumatism, leu
ralgia, kidney diseases and disorders
of the liver, all due to the impairment

It was he who managed the success

tracted world wide attention in the
recent Olympic games at Athens.
Formerly trainer for Columbia Col
lega, then for Princeton and finally
for Harvard University, MI. Graham
hao much to do with raising the stand
ard of collegiate sports. Asmall army
of gentlemen have been guided by
him since he left Harvard and took
his present position, superintendent
of the famous gymnasium of the Bos-
ton Athletic Association.
Three of his proteges, White, Brew
or and Mccarthy, have just won the
NewEngland championship at the mile,
quarter mile and five-mile run. He
has trained Weeks, of Brown Univer-
sity, one of the best college sprinters
in the country.
Many another student of what makes
men and women strong has used and
has recommended Paine's celery com
pound as the best known remedy for
those who are weak and dispirited,
the overworked and enfeebled per-
sons who are most concerned in the
general awakening of interest in out
door exercise and indoor attention to
the proper rules of health.

sibly two weeks in advance of that in
my OWL State. The season has been
a rainy one; the temperature cool for
this time Of the year. Politically, the
situation in Kentucky is a complicated
and uncertain one. The gold stand
ard supporters, seemingly, are in the
majority. Much feeling exists be-
tween the various factions. I am in
formed by competent judges that
there is little hope for a uniting of the
two Democratic factions. No party
lines cen to be drawn. 1t is either a
gold or a silver apostle. Lifelong
Democrats told me they voted the en-
tire Republican ticket in the last cleo
ton, and by no means had they re-
GREETED it. Men who worked SO per-
sistently against Breckenridge two
years ago walked bravely and unhesi-
tatingly to the polls last November
and, casting all personalities aside,
voted for him. Lifelong followers of
Blackburn seem to have deserted him,
and it would appear his political death
in that State is soon at hand. He has,
beyond question, lost that position in
the hearts of his people of which he
was once SO proud. I am informed it
is attributed to his very recent vicious
and personal attacks upon others of
different political creed. Undoubted-
ly politics in Kentucky are undergoing
q very radical change and revolution.
Leaving Paris Monday 1 again
reached Cincinnati; taking the Illinois
Central at night brought us the next
morning to the overflow districts
along the Cumberland, Tennessee and
Ohio rivers. The back waters of these
rivers extend at many points to a dis
lance of rs to 100 miles, leaving in
some places only the tops of trees and
houses visible. At many places along
our route we encountered wash-ou
water running over the tracks, etc.,
where temporary trestle, etc., were
being constructed. At Grand Rapids,
q town situated between the Tennes-
see and Cumberland rivers, I was told
by one of the inhabitants that the
lands had been submerged for period
of four weeks. There seems to be no
immediate prospect of the water sub
siding. A dreadful and pitisble sight
1t is to observe such fertile lands made
so fruitlsss and the labor Of the peo-
pie 80 futile. Everywhere In lower
Kentucky and Tennessee 10 there evil
dence of destruction to property from
the heavy rains and high water. AT
Paducah, KY, the water had reached
an enormous height. A short stop at
Fulton, the old home of DR.. F. M.
Usher, gave me the opportunity and
pleasure Of meeting some of his old
friends, all Of whom inquired most in
terestingly after him. Leaving Fulton
we soon reached the overflow districts
Of the Mississippi. For two miles just
out OF Memphis train a. through
water to the depth Of several inches,
thereby arriving several hours late.
At Memphis the river gorge has
reached the greatest height in many
years. Distress and destruction seem
TO run rampant throughout the whole
valley. Just when and where 1t may
cease cannot, Of course, be foretold.
