Rheumatism

Is blood disease and only blood rene
dy can cure it. So many people make
the mistake of taking remedies which
at best are only tonics and cannot posi-
bly, reach their trouble. Mr.. Asa Smith,
Greencastle, Indiana, says: "For years
I have suffered with Sciatic Rheuma-
tism, which the best physicians were I'M
able to relieve. I took many patent
medicines but they did not seem to
reach my trouble. I gradually grew

DUN'S REVIEW OF TRADE.

New York, April 15.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review of trade to-mor-
row will Say: There is some hindrance
in business, and yet the volume OF
PAYMENTS through clearing houses is
still 1873 pc" cent. larger than last
wear. and outside NV York about
2.2 per cent larger than in 1892,
though speculative stagnation here
makes the aggregate lower.
In the iron business there are or
ders for about 10000 tons structural
work held up by questions of law; in
Chicago the large postOfilce order is
vet waiting, and the Russian order
fer rails is still pending, possibly be-
cause Of financial difficulties. While
new business offered in this line is
still very heavy, the PRODUCTION is SO
laige that it may easily be disastl GUS
" checked by a persistent restriction
of the current demand. But foreign
orders for six large vessels are pend
ing in eastern ship yards and actual
orders for cars alone cover 10000 tons
basic steel at Pittsburg. Angles have
been advanced 81 per ton and struc-
tural works are all crowded with Or
ders, while pipes are in heavy de-
maid.
The volume of legitimate business is
enormous, and meanwhile failures are
remarkably small; for the week they
have been 254 in the United States
against 207 last year, and is in Can
ada against 80 last year.

d. C. Shepherd, the victim, is employ

cording to Mr.. Shepherds story of the
affair Littlejohn had been an employee

when he was discharged Last even
ing, In a state of intoxication he enter

Foreman of the furnace, Sanford Ha-

Mayor Courtney, in employing
Paines celery compound in his family
had the example and assurance of many
persons who occupy to-day like respons-
ible positions in other cities.
Mayor Ramsdell, of Lynn, personal
friend of Mayor Courtney, recently
gave his opinion of this great remedy
as follows:
"A previous experience with Paine's
celery compound as a restOrer of eX-
hausted energy induced me recently to
take it again, the many duties of the
Mayors Office having taxed my slight
physical resources greatly. | made no
mistake. In one week | found my APP
petite improved, the feeling of weari-
ness disappearing and my nerves becom-
ing steadier. Paine's celery compound
has thus been a friend in time of need
and | like to say a word for a 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
eyer SO sturdy, finds often that the con-
tinued pressure Of affairs has caused
the nerves to demonstrate and fall In
tone. At such time Paine's celery
compound becomes of value. Having
experienced it's benefits | gladly com
mend it.,
Among other statements as to the
value of Paine's celery compound,
Mayor Bennett, of st. Charles, ILL.,,
Wheeling register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1878-1935, 1898-04-16

adds: Il believe that Paines celery
compound has enabled me to escape
my periodical attack of rheumatism this
winter. l very cheerfully recommend
it to any one in similar need, in the full
belief that it will be helpful in every
case"
Mayor Courtney has been eminently
successful as a lawyer, one Of his APP
peals to the Suprme Court having been
instrumental in bringing about the pas
sage Of the present ballot reform law.
Mayor Courtney's happy experience
with Paine's celery compound is shown
in his letter annexed:
Lowell, Mass, Nov. II, 1897.
Messrs Wells, Richardson & Co..
Gentlemen:-I take pleasure in rec
ommending Paine's celery compound.
1t has been of great benefit to members
of my family, who have used it, and
among my friends and acquaintances,
including Mayor Ramsdell, of Lynn. |
have kown it to prove very successful
in accomplishing cures. Sincerely
yours, WILLIAM F. COURTNEY.
There is absolute relief from nervous
prostration, sleeplessness, poor appe-
tite, growing thinness and loss of vigor
and strength in Paine's celery COM
pound.
1t is fact verified by the practice of
the best physicians and by thousands
of personal testimonials that Paine's
celery compound makes new, pure
blood, builds up the nervous system,
and cures disease when all other rene
dies have failed. : 1t is the greatest
spring remedy in the world.

The local triumvirate Of base ball
magnates wore expansive grins on
their countenances last night, because
of having received certain very favor
able reports which are not yet ripe
for publication. They regard their
prospects for the season as very bright
and will, within few days, announce
the names of the players who are to
be relied upon to bring the Ohio State

One cannot but be favorably i'm
pressed with Mr.. Starts judgment, and
as he has selected the major portion
OF the players himself, they will prob
ably be good material for a winning

number of IS ticket books to one hun
dred. and half that number has al
ready been disposed of.
The playing season in the little

5th and the schedule will call for 100
