But it is, first, the result of the
lifelong study of the greatest physi-
clan America has produced, man
whose reputation was worldwide
years before he had ever arrived at
this formula which has done so much
good; man who has received the
highest degrees from the best COL
leges, who was at the time of his dis
covery professor at Dartmouth and
lecturer in other universities, a
scholar, member of a family which
has made its mark in every depart
ment of public life in America. 1t
Is remedy the formula of which
has been furnished to physicians in
good standing always, and which
physicians were prescribin: long be-
fore the present manufacturers put it
up for public distribution; it was dis
covered by Professor Edward Z.
Phelps, NJ. D., LII D., and was first
prescribed with wonderful success by
that eminent group of practitioners
who have made American physicians
known the world over, and of whom
he was then, as now, undoubtedly the
most famous.
The best test that can be applied
to Paine's celery compound is to use
it.
If one is 'srun down." feels with.
out energy, lifeless, useless, fretful,
take this great remedy and note the
change. Constipation will no longer
give one disquieting thought; the
appetite will come back; sleepless-
ness 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.
Tho 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 wom-
en- have told of their rapid recovery
from disease by the use of this
remedy
Paine's celery compound il unap-
preached by any other remedy for
restoring the nervous system when
broken down or impaired from over
exertion of mind or body.
1t strengthens the digestive pow
ers, renews the blood, and acts in the
vitalizing, curative, thorough man
ner that makes it the grandest help
to suffering men and women the
world of medicine affords

STOCK GAMBLING.

The community seems 10 be rapidly
lection will be made to the use of the
term stock gambler. This objection is
made everywhere in any stock market
of the world by those who take the
widest risks in dealing in stocks. The
term is properly applied to those
among others who will be crippled
financially II their ventures in stocks
do not turn out favorably. The diyid-
ing line between investment and gam
bling is a shadowy one, and ii is not
easy to accurately define 1t. 1t is re
ported on all sides that business men,
capitalists, professional men, men liv-
ing on fixed incomes and salaries,
clerks in stores, workingmen in large
numbers are dealing In sugar stocks.
The retail merchants generally com
plain of the difficulty in making col
| lections of small accounts because
their customers are holding stocks.
This condition of things Is a natural
outcome of the growth of the sugar
industry. 1t was predicted, because
throughout the commercial and iinan-
cal world, similar conditions produce
similar results.
| Indeed, there is much similarity be-
tween the speculative movements OF
the sugar properties here, and the
speculative ventures in petroleum oil
forty years ago, at the time OF its dis
covery at Oil City, in the State OF
Pennsylvania. Large fortunes were
quickly made Small fortunes were
beneath notice" There were risks
in finding oil, in securing a large sup
ply, and In the permanence of the
yield. When conservative men said to
the confident investors in oil proper
ties throughout the country, what as.
surance have you that the oil will con.
| time to flow?" the reply made by
scientists and practical oil men was
what assurance can You give us that
the oil will stop flowing?" No answer
could be made to this query, because
no one knew. But the public as usual
always a "bull' and optimistic be,
lieyed in perpetual flow. And sc
did many capitalists. After few
years, balancing OF accounts--by esti
mate only--was made, and 1t showet

LINE AND STAFF.

The bill before the House Of Repre-
sentatiyes, to put the line and the
stan (engineer) officers of the navy
upon an equal footing will undoubted-
~ pass. 1t has been debated fully, and
the conduct OF the sea-fight near San
tia"o has convinced the House that
specialists are not wanted in the man
agement of war ships, but "all round
men who can do the fighting and SUI
perintend the Use of the important
steam power equally well. Here Is an
other instance of the value OF an OBJ
ject lesson. When Ceryera's fleet NOV
ed out of the harbor of Santiago, the
line officers, with the exception OF those
on the Oregon, kept steam down, be-
cause they did not understand the i'm
portance of keeping it up. The Span
ish vessels nearly escaped. The Ore
gon to large extent, saved the day.
Congress knows the history OF the bat
tie. and will now remove standing
dispute between the line and the staff.
1t was stated in the debate that the
European navies were disposed to
adopt the new plan.

Vandals of ancient times, overwhelmed
the Colonel. Humlliating as II is to
say it, the flag Of the microbes waved
above the flag of the Union for some
months. In fact Col. Barber handed
his sword over to the commander OF
the microbes, and got II back only with
the assistance Of the medical generals
who don't know much about the art
OF war. Col. Barber may say in his
official report that the microbes do
not adopt the practices OF civilized
warfare" whatever that means. but
the fact stands that he was beaten in
the fight.
The Presidents explanation for max
ing the appointment Is, no doubt. the
usual one. the comforting of an empty
honor in discharge Of some political
debt. As the volunteer army is now
rapidly disbanding, a "Brigadler Gen
eral Of Volunteers" simply gets a star
on his shoulders and an increased pen
sion in case of disability. Even hand
ed justice would suggest that all OF the
privates OF the First n. Y. Volunteers
should also be brevetted in some way
