The youngest and most bustling city in
the United States
Founded last April, Lincoln boasts a
sewerage system. electric lights, macada-
mized roads, trolley-cars, telephone fran
chise, and a water-plant.
From a hamlet to a town-tO a city-in
this incredibly short time, Lincoln has
grown with the wonderful progressive
ness looked for only in the West-a splen-
did example Of the indomitable peril
nacity Of one strong man.
Like most forceful men, Mayor Drake
must see results before giving his APP
provai; but when convinced he speaks out
his mind without fear or favor of any one.
There IS no hesitation among Mayor
brakes friends in saying that Paine's
celery compound has been OF the utmost
help in enabling him to do a prodigious
amount Of work, and to get rid Of that
that at one time resulted from
every prolonged effort. Mayor Drake
himself says:

Wells, Richardson & Co.:
Gentlemen,-I have been getting Paines
celery compound from our local druggist

and attribute much Of the strengthening
Of my nerves to Paine's celery compound.
Yours truly, SILAS ID. DRAKE.
Nothing demOralizes the health sooner
or more completely than even the occa-
sional loss of sleep. TO start new day
with the brain unrefreshed is like trying
to keep a worn-out horse up to his work
with the whip instead Of by feeding. The
incessant brain activity is as If the skull
were laid bare and the surface of the
brain were stuck lightly every few Sc
conds and without a sign Of ''let up"
Thus sleeplessness imperceptbly but no
less surely. destroys the brain cells that
are the sources Of mental power and the
health Of every organ Of the body.
Paine's celery compound gets the
nervous system out of this dangerous rut
Of sleeplessness. 1t supplies nourshment
to the nervous tissues faster than they
are worn out, and does not let the nutri-
ton Of these delicate parts get low
enough 10 bring on insomnia.
one of the earliest evidences Of the final
success Of Paines celery compound in
curing debility, nervousness. sleepless-
ness, and arrangements of liver and kid

liver
Trouble

When the yellow flag of quarantine
is hoisted over a dwelling it means disease
and danger. So when the yellow flag
flies in the face-when the cheek is sallow
and the clear white of the eye is dyed
saffron there is danger. II is lirer
trouble. The liver is one Of the most i'm
portant organs of the body. On the
proper discharge of its functions depend
human health and happiness. When the
liver fails Of its duty, poisons at once be-
gin to generate, and other organs of the
body become involved. Never neglect
the liver if you value health. If you are
suffering from liver trouble, begin at
once the use Of AYERS PILLS and you will
find prompt relief and permanent cure.
