Tried each art, reproved each dull delay,
Allured to brighter worlds and led the way,
great preachers throughout the country have
been the most untiring and earnest in tell
ing the truth about Paines celery compound,
in urging sick people to use it. and at the
same time they themselves have employed
the great remedy in their own homes with
results that have steadily kept up their faith
in it's th-giving powers.
1t is significant that Paine's celery com
pound stands alone as the one remedy that is
freely used in the homes not only of clergy
men, but of all literally as we'll as profess
sionally educated men; physicians, lawyers,
school teachers and others, while every other
remedy purporting to accomplish equal re-
suits, is promptly shown the door.
No class of men have the public good so
disinterestedly at heart as clergymen; none
o. hers see so intimately the affairs of so many
homes. 1t is their business to know the sad
side, sorrows and sufferings. AS confdant,

as even the physician often fails to do.

The two Douglas county bond cases were
argued before the supreme court this morn
ing, Justices Harrison and Norval and Com
missioner Ragan being on The bench. At
torney w. X. Beckett presented the case OF
the funding bonds, while County Attorney
Daldrige made the argument for the exposi-
tion bonds. Mr.. Baldrige said that the ex-
position was great institution in which all
OF the people Of Douglas county we're in
| terested, and that the bonds had been
carried by more than two- birds vote.
Tho act OF the legislature authorizing the
voting of the bonds was constitutional be-
cause of the fact that it was a general act
| for special purpose, and did not repeal or
interfere either with the constitution or
prior acts. question was asked by Judge
Norval which indicated that the court be-
lieved the money was to be donated to the
| exposition. Mr.. Baldrige explained this by
saying that the money was to be used for a
county exhibit and for q building for such
exhibit. The state has appropriated money
FOR Just such purpose-the etlte exhibit at
the Worlds fair
The attorney general made a short talk in
which he said that there had been doubts as
| to the legality of the bonds, and it had been
thought best to have the court pass on them.
He had examined the authorities and finding
none directly in support Of his position had
filed no briefs.

1t is not food swallowed, but food well de
gested that produces flesh and blood. Paine's
celery compound disposes the body to take ON
flesh. 1t makes the breath sweeter, the
strength more enduring, the body plumper
and the spirits better.
Dyspeptics and nervous. sckly persons,
whose whole lives are failure, both as to
enjoyment and usefulness, ought to learn how
closely their debility, aches and pains de-
pend on their general run down condition,
and that the sensible lasting cure can only
come from building up their general health
and constitution. This is the grand mission
of Paine's celery compound. 1t cures neu-
ralgia. rheumatism, stomach troubles, blood
diseases and headaches by this enlightened,
broad treatment. Pure blood and plenty Of
it, quiet, satisfactorily fed nerves and a
condition of the brain that makes sound,
sweet sleep a safeguard against all nervous
troubles come when Paine's celery compound
Is used.
If you are "played out" to use a forcibo
street phrase, cant digest, cant work and
have lost courage, Panes celery compound
will show itself to be the best friend you
ever had. t viii enable you to forget your
stomach, and will do for you what it has
done for so many others-make you again a
healthy, active man or woman.
