The skin and the eyes are two good
Thermometers of health. If the skin

lor or n yellow appearance. and the
eyes a glazed look, with yellowish

blood and regulate the liver and kid

bright red blood and relieves the liver
and kidneys of the strain that is
brought upon them whenever impure
blood is constantly pouring through
their substance.
There is every reason in the world
why Paine's celery compound should
build up sickly people, increase their
appetite and nourish every tissue in
their body.
AS even children are aware, there is

which builds up the tissues that have
been worn out. 1t carries all the mate
