The old-time tonics, sarsaparillas, neT-
vines and haphazard remedies of our fore
fathers 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 tele-
graph.
But her children and grandchildren, the
! grown-up men and women of today, are
taking this great modern spring remedy
and getting rid of diseases that the old,
unscientific preparations made no impress
sion on-and are making no impression
on today.
Paine's celery compound has as little in
common with any of these obsolete rene
dies as modern, life-saving an~tiseptic
surgery has with the practice of a few
years ago which was attended with so
fearful a death rate. The half a 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 a 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 it's wonderful success with diseases and
ailments due to nervous debility and i'm
pure blood.
Paine's celery compound is as unlike any
remedy that has gone before it. and as
superior to it's nearest rival, as the great
searchlight is to the tallow dip. 1t is not
a mere improvement nor a development
of any of the o~ld-fashioned remedies. 1t

Teachers Mistaken Idea.

We print, in another column, today, a
fore the Teachers Club" yesterday, by
Miss Lydia K. Ennis, of No. l School.
This notice of it is merely for the pur-
pose of directing attention to an odd re-
erudescence of the protection heresy
which figures in the address.
Miss Ennis urges that, in the appoint-
ment Of teachers, preference should al
ways be given to residents of Hudson
county. We cannot help wondering
whether Miss Emil is aware of the army
of Jersey City teachers, men and women,
who have secured employment in other
cities, New York and Brooklyn, especial
~, in the last few years. If she remem-
bers these cases, we wonder what she
would think if her idea were mad work
both ways.
If home talent is equal to foreign in
availability and efficiency, it needs
neither statutes nor rules to protect it.
It has all the natural advantages in its
favor. and, other things being equal, 1t
must always win. When it does not offer
the same advantages that could be gained
BY importation, it has no rights and 1t
should go down before its superior, every
time. Protection, which would secure 1t
success over that which was better than
Itself, would be a crime against the com
munity
Free trade should be the law OF brains
as well as of commerce.

surprised to find that the woman had
swooned.
