and the nervous diseases that are likely
to follow such daily poisoning of the sys-
tenn.
Paines celery compound by its pro
nounced nourishing power enables the
nerves to get back their control over the
circulation SO that the blood supply be-
comes greatest where it is most needed,
as IL, the stomach after eating. and least
where it's presence can only do harm, as
in the brain when sleep is needful
The nerves, when they are strong and
properly nourished, limit the flow of
blood to the head and draw Off this excess
from the brain, thus ensuring refreshing
sleep. Persons who wake up tired,
drowsy and ambitionless, or can not sleep
Il whole night through are suffering from
disordered nerves. Paines celery COM
pound calms and feeds the nerves even to
their tiniest branchings, and they in their
turn are enabled to equalize the blood
supply over the body, thus sparing the
heart, preventing congestions and rushes
of blood to the head, dizziness, paralysis,
pain over the heart, and those headaches
that seem to come and go without any
good reason, and are SO inexplicable to
hosts of men and women.
1t thus indirectly, but none the less
surely, relieves the dangerous pressure on
the kidneys and heart, which eventually
leads to their rapid deterioration and
breakdown.
This great invigorator is long step
forward in the definite cure OF nervous
diseases and disorders that are induced by
an insufficiently nourished system. 1t is
possible to name, without hesitation,
several diseases that have been repeatedly
traced to such impoverishment of the
blood-nervous dyspepsia, rundown"
physical condition, loss of appetite, nerv-
BUSINESS, heart trouble, tired feelings and
a despondentzoutlook upon life. To rid
the body of such evidences of trouble
within, it is necessary to stop the friction
among the nervous issues that is pulling
down its healthy tone. The remedy is

Prevent

Prevention is always better than
cure, even when cure is possible.
But SO many times pneumonia is not
cured that prevention becomes the
natural act of that instinct of self
preservation which is =" the first law
of nature" Pneumonia can be pre-
vented and is often cured by the use
of Ayers Cherry Pectoral.
"Some years ago had a severe cold and
was threatened with pneumonia. | could
neither eat nor sleep, and was in wretched
condition. l procured bottle of Ayers
Cherry Pectoral and took it according to the
directions, and at the end Of fifteen daysw as

Merritt WreckiDg company and the Bos-

navy department today to talk with the
officials over the steps to be taken to-

should be found impracticable, to save

company selected to undertake. the work
will be despatched Immediately TO Ha-

partnent may be availed of, namely, to
