Now is the season to lay the foundation
for future health and strength.
The corner stones of good health are
complies digestion. sound sleep. pure
flood and perfectly nourished nervous
system.
The wonderful success Of Paine's cell
cry compound in making people well and
keeping them SO. has always been ac-
counted for by physicians by its extra
ordinary power OF nourishing and regu-
aating all Of these functions.
II is not strange tina. SO many un-
scientific remedies do no permanent good
when they disregard this close interde-
pendence of the nerves and the organs
OF digestion and circulation, and attend
10 but one deranged part a, the expense
OF all the rest.
The only possible way that real last
ing gain in strengthand vitality can
come is through purer blood, better nour-
ished nerves and tissues. more refresh
ing sleep and an economy in the ex-
penditure OF nerve force.
