The old-time tonics. sarsaparillas, nervines
and haphazard remedies of our forefathers
won't do in the spring of 1899.
Your great grandmother didn't take Paine's
celery compound any more than she used the
electric light or the telegraph.
But her children and grandchildren, the
grown-up men and women of to-day, are tax
ing this great modern spring remedy and get
ting rid of diseases that the old unscientifie
preparations made no impression on-and are
making no impression on to-day.
Paine's celery compound has as little in
common with any of these obsolete reme-
dies as modern, life-saving antiseptic surgery
has with the practice of few years ago
which was attended with so fearful a death
rate. The half of century that has elapsed
since these old-fashioned remedies were
| formulated has been the most fruitful years
IN medical discovery. 1t has witnessed the
\ discovery of the most effective medicine the
world has ever known. As q remedy for
blood and nerves Paine's celery compound
has been welcomed by physicians, prescribed
and publicly recommended. No remedy has
ever approached Paine's celery compound in
its wonderful success with diseases and all
ments due to nervous debility and impure
blood.
| Paine's celery compound is as unlike any
remedy that has gone before it, and as super
ior to its nearest rival as the great search
/ light is to the tallow dip. 1t is not a mere
improvement nor a development of any OF
the Old-fashioned remedies 1t is totally

new departure in the cure of blood and nerve
diseases, and cures where other remedies fail,
because it embodies the newest investigations
into the source of these diseases.
And that is the reason why Paine's celery
compound is the most successful remedy in
the world.
The following letter from Miss Louise
WolcOtt one Of the officials of the Daughters
of the American Revolution, shows the estim-
alton in which Paine's celery compound is
held by persons who have used it:
NEW YORK, Feb. 21, 1899.
Messrs Wells, Richardson & Co,
Gentlemen Having for several years
been subjected to heavy strain on my ner-
vous system feeling utterly worn out and
discouraged, after consultation with my
physician, l began taking Paine's celery
compound, and am only too glad to add my
testimony to the many thousands you al
ready have of its efficacy in rebuilding the
nervous system. l now feel like an entirely
different person.
Very truly yours,
LOUISE WOLCOTT.
We're it possible to keep the nerves always
strong and in calm working order few per-
sons would know what it is to be ill; but with
the changes in climate, work and worry aud
the "shut-in" life all winter, nervous dis
orders, more or less serious, are unavoidable.
Paine's celery compound should be in every
household, that there may be no delay in
regulating the nerves when they become
irritable, poorly nOurished and are wearing
out the strength of the whole body.

Paris, April 26.--Countess Bsterhazy,
who yesterday began proceedings for

Ferdinand Walsin Esterhazy, said that
the publication of her husbands let

course She would have forgiven him
the ruin and disgrace he had so un-
deservedly brought upon herself and
her daughters, but now that he had
published degrading groundless details
of her bodily infrmities as an excuse
for his own dissipation, and had also
linked her name ANONYMOUSLY with
that of General Giovanielli, she could
no longer refrain from taking the pres
