James Michael, the most wonder
full bicyclist Of the world, recon-
mends all wheelmen to take Paine's
celery compound.
Many young person and hum
dreds OF older people who have de-
termined to take up bicycling as a
bellth.giving exercise find them
selves really lacking the proper
''snap" or stamina to begin on.
Their bodily condition prevents go
spirited exercise. Many who are
really sick, who have suffered from
debility or wasting diseases for q
long time until they had begun to
think their troubles had become
chronic, AS nothing gave them re-
lief, would turn to bicycling for re-
lief, but they find that this splendid
exercise. like any other, requires
strength 30 undertake. The blood
is out OF order. tho nerves are de-
ranged, and natures food for both is
needed.
All such persons will find to their
immense Joy that Paine's celery
compound will make them well.
Michael has made cycle riding q
careful study. aud is in position to
give excellent advice, not only to
racing men, but to wheelmen and
people in general. In reference to
