1t cannot be repeated too often that the
stomach is the fountain which supplies
every part of the body. If the stomach
is sick, the brain, heart, liver, bowels and
kidneys are all sick. The trouble may
all be felt in one spot: it may be in the
stomath itself or it may he in the brain,
or in II rheumatic muscle. 1t will be
felt in the wenkest place. Paine's
celery compound is fully competent t.

the stomach, and to restore healthy
hearty tone that will enable it to meet
every demand made upon it by hard
