There is no denying the serious fact
that there is great amnucs Of sick
ness from the grip; that overwork ed
men and women now suffer more than
at any other time of the year from las
situde, headaches, slight chills and fe-
yer and other symptoms of imperfect
health; that people fall sick, more read
lily now than at any other time OF the
year; and that whenever an epidemic
does appear it invariably plays havoc
with those who are run down and out
of condition.
The utmost caution should be taken
to keep the blood pure and the nervous
system in healthy tone.
There is NO more excuse for the pre-
valent symptoms of stagnant, impure
blood in the body than there is for tie
barbarism of filthy streets in a city.
The relaxed and sluggish action of
the eycretory organs loads the body
with waste material that poisons it and
brings on headaches, rheumatic pains,
sleepless nights and proftless days, due
solely to the circulation in the blood or
deposit in the tissues. of these waste
matters which Paines celery compound
alone will quickly drive out.
When the arms, hips or back feel the
twinges of acute rheumatism it is high
time to relieve the kidneys and bladder
from the strain that so often brings
on Bright's disease, gravel, dropsy and
complications of diseases with other
organs whose health depends upon the
purity of the blood Prompt use of
Paine's celery compound will save the
weakened parts from yielding to dis
ease.
In its peculiar ability to invigorate
the body, to make new blood and to
regulate the nerves, lies the great value
of Paine's celery compound in all
wasting diseases and disorders of the
kidneys, liver and stomach.
Paine's celery compound fescues
shaky, enfeebled nerves from prostra-
ton and removes that feeling of utter
exhaustion that causes so much des-
pondency among so many worried men
and women.
1t makes flesh. blood and strong
nerves.
Paine's celery compound is not a pa
tent medicine! 1t is not the discovery
of some quack doctor of whom his pro-
fession never heard; it is not a concoc-
ton put up by some man who first in
vented a name, and then adopted a pre-

The members of the All-Wheeling
bowling team who acquitted themselves
with so much honor to themselves and
satisfaction to their friends Tuesday
night, were receiving the plaudits of
their admirers upon every hand yester-
day. Stevenson, from the fact that he
saved the locals just as they were slip
ping over the brink, is looked upon
as the Butcher Of the occasion. and is
liOniZed accordingly.
There was not a big pile of money
changed hands on the bowling contest
but it was not because Columbus was
not given an opportunity to show the
color of her glue. There was plenty Of
Wheeling sports who never lost con
tidence in the local team, and even
while breathlessly awaiting the result
of the last game were Offering odds
One well-known Wheeling man shook
money at a Columbus chap until his
eyes stuck out. but there were no talk
ers.
The next big game anticipated for the
future is with Toledo. and negotiations
have already been begun with that end
in view. A game with the Greater New
York team is also a probability. The
Toledos are hardly q stronger team
than the Columbus Stars, and Wheeling
could hardly add to her reputation even
tho the Ais should beat them. but the
contest would be even enough to be
interesting.
The Columbus boys took their defeat
philosophically and left for home in ex-
cellent humor. They are gentlemanly
fellows and will always be royalty well
coined by their compatriots of the ten

paration to fit it; it is not a secret
remedy.
But it is, first, the result of the life
long study Of the greatest physician
America has produced, man whose re-
putation was worldwide years before
he had ever arrived at this formula
which has done so much good: a man
who has received the highest degrees
from the best colleges, who was at the
time of his discovery professor at
Dartmouth and lecturer IN other uni
versities, a scholar, a member of a fam
lily which has made its mark in every
department of public life in America. 1t
is a remedy the formula OF which has
been furnished to physicians in good
standing always. and which physicians
were prescribing long before the pre-
sent manufacturers put it up for public
distribution; it was discovered by
Prof. Edward E. Phelps. NJ D.. LII. D.,
and was first prescribed with wonder
full success by that eminent group Of
practitioners who have made American
physicians known the world over. and
of whom he was then as now, undoubt-
edly the most famous.
The best test that can be applied to
Paine's celery compound is to use it.
If one is run down." feels without
energy, lifeless, useless, fretful, take
this great remedy, and note the change
Constipation viii no longer give one a
disquieting thought; the appetite will
come back; sleplessness and headaches
will be things Of the past. This is the
experience Of men and women in every
part of the country.
General good health depends upon
the perfect action of the nervous cur
rents, the vigor of the circulation and
the quality Of the blood.
The history Of Paine's celery com
pound has been made familiar to every
intelligent household in the land. In
the clearest and most direct manner
conscientious men and women have
told Of their rapid recovery from dis
ease by the use of this remedy.
Paine's celery compound is unap-
preached by any other remedy for re-
storing the nervous system when brok-
en- down or impaired from over exer-
ton of mind or body
1t strengthens the digestive powers,
renews the blood and acts in the vital
izing, curative thorough manner that
makes it the grandest help to suffering
men and women the world Of medicine
affords.
