Like Goldsmith's parson who
Tried each art, reproved each dull de-
lay,
Allured to brighted worlds and led the
way,
great preachers throughout the coun-
try have been the most untiring and
earnest in telling the truth about
Paine's 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 its health giving powers.
1t is significant that Paine's celery
edy that is freely used in the homes
not only of clergymen. but of all lber-
ally as well as professionally educated
men: physicians, lawyers, school teach
ers and others while every other rem
edy purporting to accomplish equal re-
suits, is promptly shown the door.
No class of men have the public good
so disinterestedly at heart as clergy
men; none others see so intimately the
affairs OF so many homes. 1t is their
business to know the sade sid, sorrows
and sufferings. AS confidant, confessor
and comforter they learn the truth as
even the physician often fails to do.
And clergymen recommend Paine's
celery compound wherever they enter
a home where some member needs a
general building up of the body, puri-

A LIFE STORY.

Above hOr little sufferers bed,
With all a mothers grace.
She stroked the curly, throbpng head,
Ard smoothed the fevered face.
He does not know my love, my fears.
My toll of heart and hand;
But some day in the after years,
Some day h5'll UrdeTStsnd,
Some day he'll know
/ loved him so,
Some day he'll understand"
wild lad plays his thoulhtless part
As fits his childhoods lot,
And tramnles on his mothers heart
Ofttlmes and knows it not.
He plays among his noisy mates
Nor knows his tIuest friend;
His mother sghs, as still She waits,
Some day he'll comprehend;
The day will be
When he will see.
Some day he'll comprehend"
The strong youth plays his strenuous
part;
His mother waits alone,
And soon he finds another Heart
The mate unto his own
She gives him up in joy and woe,
He takes his young brides hand
His mother murmurs 'Will he know
And ever understand?
When he will know
| love him so;
When will he understand"
The strong man fights his battling days,
The fight is hard and grim,
His mothers plain, old-fashioned ways
Have little charm for him
The dimness falls around her years,
The shadows round her stand,
She mourns in loneliness and tears,
Hell never understand.
He'll never know
| loved him so;
He'll never understand"
A beared man of serious years
Bends down above the dead
And rains the tribute of his tears
over an old, gray head.
He stands the open grave above,
Amid the mourning bands;
And now he knows his mothers love,
And now he understands.
Now doth he know
She loved him so.
And now he understands ..

the strength more enduring, the body

Dyspeptics and nervous, sickly per-
