Two years after, Mrs. Grinnell. still
vigorous, writes another grateful letter
in praise of this great remedy which
has done SO much for her:
Dec. II, 1897.
Wells, Richardson Co.
Gentlemen-Pane'a celery compound

ness. i do not use it continually, but
take 1t occasionally, and as u conse-
quence have not been sick for a long,
long time. recommend Paines celery

remedy, and hope every old person will
use it and be saved sickness and suf-

Mrs. Emyle Hyde Grinnell.
Palne's celery compound Is especially
valuable for recruiting the strength and
spent energies of men and women ad-
vanced in years. II Is the one prepar-
alton considered worthy of the name of
a true nerve food and blood remedy by
physicians throughout the country. It
Is prescribed by them in every State in
the Union to tone up the system, regu-
late the nerves and restore health and
strength.
Nothing In the past has ever ap-
preached 1T In power of building up
weakened nerve tissues and giving
strength TO the tired body. In S. ere
cases OF persistent headaches dyspep-
STA. neuralgia, and sleeplessness, due
to nervous fecblenesa, PAine's celery
compound has 4 record OF rapid and
lasting cures that embrace every city
and town in the wide sweep CT the
United States
Its remarkable power over disease
lies in it's active replacing of worn-out
parts by new healthy ones and It's heal
Ing and purifying action among the
most minute tissues of the body. 1t
searches out the weak parts at once
and sets 10 work to build them up. The

Think Of it! More than a century old!
And her old age is not calamity.
Mrs. Emyle Hyde Grinnell, who two
years ago at the age of 90 sent to the
proprietors OF Paine's celery compound
an unexpected and unsolicited testi-
monial, now two years afterward (when
she has lived in good health beyond
century, again writes with her own hand
another hearty letter of thankfulness
for the wonderful good this great REM
edy has done her.
Mrs. Grinnell was born in Bennington,
VT, July 6, 1896, and is to-day living
with her daughter. the wife of Martin
Fowler, of Colchester. VT, beautiful
town near Fort Ethan Allen. Her
father was q farmer and hotel keeper
and she lived upon the farm until her
marriage.
Mrs. Grinnell rises at daylight, works
about the house, and when the weather
Will permit walks out doors. Her eye
sight Is good and she spends many
hours crocheting and doing fancy work
She keeps abreast of the times. and is
remi kably we'll informed. She de-
clares that she does not feel any old er
than she has for years, and If people
half her age enjoyed such health as
she they would consider themselves
fortunate. She has had seven children
four boys and three girls, two Of whom
are living to-day.
In 1895 she wrote to the proprictors
of Paine's celery compound:
Paine's celery compound has been my
health preserver during the last few
years. Whenever l have an ache or
pain few doses of this remedy gives
me relief and strength Few women
even though much younger than I. en-
