other remedies fail, because Paine's
celery compound is the discovery of
q great physician, who knew all that
the school and text books could teach
him. but o than that, he knew
sick men and women, as few ply
sicians in any age have known them.
Prof. Edward E. Phelps, NJ. D., LII.
D., of the Dartmouth medical school,
was able to drive out disease from
the system, because he knew where
the disease was lodged and how to
help the %excretory organs, instead OF
confusing them as so many illogical
remedies do in their effort to cleanse
the blood. Paine's celery compound
encourages and strengthens the kid
neys, and enables them to cleanse
the blood of it's waste, poisonous
matters that are the direct cause Of
drowsiness, %listleness, melancholia,
blood diseases, wasting ~sicknesses,
| headaches and that general run
down" condition that opens the door
to definite organic diseases of the
heart, kidneys or stomach, especially
when q person is advanced in years
and no longer possessed of the abund-
ant energy that characterizes youth
alone.
Paine's celery compound makes
the blood a bright, red color, in
creases its volume in the arteries and
quickens its circulation, and enables
a nerve-tired person to sleep eight or
nine hours at a stretch. Every man
OF woman whose nervous strength is
at all overtaxed, or whose life is a
busy one in many directions, will
feel the invigorating, vitalizing effect
of Paine's celery compound, and see
his OF her health mend from the first
use of this greatest of all known in
~vigorators and remedies.

I am happy to state that two mem

Mrs. P. M. Donahoe, has received
the most pronounced results from

found it a great help in regaining his
strength from overwork in his pro

General Lees Testimony Before
Senate Committee

General Lee was before the
Senate Committee OH Foreign
Relations for an hour late to-
day. He talked freely with the
committee in regard to the con
ditions in Cuba, and especially
with reference to the destruction
! of the Maine. He said that in
his opinion there was no room to
doubt that the destruction of the
vessel was due to Spanish agen-
cies.
"Do you mean the Spanish
authorities in Cuba" he was
asked by a member Of the COM
mittee.
II mean the Spanish officials"
he replied, "but not Gen. Blanco.
[ think some Of the officials were
cognizant Of the plans to destroy
the vessel, but [ do not believe
that the Captain General was"
General Lee said that he had
no knowledge Of the reports that
a mine had been discovered by a
diver under the Montgomery,
while that vessel lay in Havana
harbor.
News that General Lee was on
his way to the State Department
spread rapidly, and when the car
riage drew up at the south front
Of the building, a big crowd was
assembled on the portico. A
rousing cheer went up as Gen
eral Lee stepped from the We
hicle and, bowling right and left,
hurried into the building. The
cheers had appraised the clerks
and other employees Of the big
building Of his coming and there
was a wild rush for the State De-
partment corridor. Clerks left
their desks without leave, officers
Of the army and navy joined the
rush and for the time being the
discipline Of the building was re-
Taxed. The crowd lined up in
front Of the elevator shaft, leav-
ing d lane from the door to the
Secretary's office. AS the eleya-
tor came to a stop the Con
sui General stepped out on a
scene unprecedented in the his
tory Of the great building. Hat
in hand General Lee passed into
the corridor, and some II said:
"Now, boys!,' and three rousing
cheers went echoing down
Their long halls. Then there
was another outburst and
people poured forth from every
room. The cheering caused ex-
element, and it was some mo-
ments before quiet could be ree
stored. General Lee bowed to the
crowd, and as he reached the door
to Secretary Sherman's Office
turned and bowed again. Then
the door closed on him, and the
tarong dispersed
After a few minutes the Consul
General emerged, accompanied BY
Secretary Sherman and Assistant
iSecretary Day. The three enter
ed a carriage and were driven to
the White House, General Lee
getting another ovation on his way
oyer.
