There is no denying the serious
fact that there is great amount OF
sickness from the grip that over
worked men and women now suffer
more than at any other time of the
year from lassitude, headaches,
slight chills and fever and other
symptoms OF imperfect health; that
people fall sick more readily 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
prevalent symptoms of stagnant.
impure blood i'll the body than
there is for the barbarism of filthy
streets i'll a city.
The relaxed and sluggish action
OF the excretory organs loads the
body with waste material that
poisons it and brings Oh head
aches, rheumatic pains, sleepless
nights and prohtless days, due
solely to the circulation i'll the
blood, or deposit in the tissues, OF
these waste matters which Paine
celery compound alone will quickly
drive out.
When the arms, hips or back
feel the twinges of acute rheuma-
tism it is high time 10 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 Painc's celery COM
pound will save the weakened
parts from yielding to disease.
In its peculiar ability to invig-
orate the body, to make new blood
and to res II ate the nerves, lies the
great value of Paine's celery COM
pound in all wasting diseases and
disorders OF the kidneys, liver and
stomach.
Paine's celery compound rescues
,haky, enfecbled nerves from pros
ration and removes that feeling OF
after exhaustion that causes so
nrch dependency among so many |
worried men and women.
1t makes flesh, blood and strong |
nerves.
Paine's celery compound is not
, patent medicine 1t is not the
discovery of some quack doctor of
whom his profession never heard; |
t is not a concoction put up by |
,ome man who first invented 4
lame, and then adopted a prepa-
alton to fit it; it is not secret
