takes advantage of to make the weak
body strong, and to drive out disease
fr ON the system.
Paine sscelery compound supplies just
that needed, appropriate food that tho
overworked nerves are often too feeble to
extract, unaided, from the mass of food
taken into the stomach. Paine's celery
compound increases the appetite and puts
the digestive organs into shape to pass
the food over to the blood in such a per-
foctly prepared condition that the change
into nerve, brain and tissue substance is
easily and fully brought about, without
waste of nervous energy or wear upon the
liver, kidneys, heart or stomach.
In this scientific, accurate fashion,
Paine's celery compound permanently
cures stomach troubles, disordered liver,
kidney disease, indigestion and all un.
healthy conditions that grow out of over
worked, underfed nerves and organs.
