Mayor Courtney, in employing Paines eel
cry compound in his family, had the example
and assurance of many persons who occupy
to-day like responsible positions in other
cities.
Mayor Ramsdell of Lynn, personal friend
OF Mayor Courtney, recently gave his opinion
Of this great remedy rs follows:
"A previous experience with Paines celery
compound as a restorer of exhausted energy
induced me recently to take it again, the
many duties Of the mayors Office having

| made no mistake. Ia one week | found
my appetite improved, the feeling of weari-
ness disappearing and my nerves becoming
steader. Paine's celery compound has thus
been a friend in time of need and | like to
say word for friend'
His unhesitating recommendation had
much to do with its use by Mayor Courtney.
Mayor Miles b. Preston OF Hartford, Ct,
said within a day or two, speaking of the
same remedy;
The modern man of business, be he ever
so sturdy, finds often that the continued
| pressure of aflair7 has caused tho nerves to
demonstrate and fall in tone. At such a time
Paine's celery compound becomes Of value
| Having experienced its benefits gladly com

Among other statements as to the value OF
Paine's celery compound, Mayor Bennett OF

my periodical attack of rheumatism this
winter. | very cheerfully recommend it to
any one in similar need, in the full belief
that il will be helpful in every case"
Mayor Courtney has been emnently sue
cessful as a lawyer, one of his appeals to tho
supreme court having been instrumental in
bringing about the passage of the present
ballot reform law. Mayor Courtney's happy
experience with Paines celery compound is
shown in his letter annexed:
LOWELL, Mass Nov. IL, 1897.
Messrs Wells, Richardson & Co.,
Gentlemeu-I take pleasure in recommend
ing Paiue's celery compound. 1t has been of
great benefit to members of my family, who
have used it, and among my friends and ac-
quaiutances, including Mayor Ramsdell of
Lynn. | have known it to prove very sue
cessful in accomplishing cure. Sincerely
yours,
WILLIAM +. COURTNEY.
There is absolute relief from nervous pros
tration, sleepessness, poor appetite, growing
thinness and loss of vigOr and strength in
Paine's celery compound.
1t is u fact verified by the practice of the
best physicians aud by thousands of personal
testimonials that Paine's celery compound
makes new, pure blood, builds up the ner-
yous system, and cures disease when all other
remedies have failed. 1t is the greatest
spring remedy in the world.
