remedy have never known so great call
for it--has been due to its use by thou
sands of people for whom it has been
prescribed by intelligent physicians, to
restore the patients vitality, to purify the
blood of the enervating poison, to restore
the nervous system to healthy action and
to strengthen the vital organs
A person will continue to suffer from
the evil effects of grip for many months
unless he attacks the disease by getting
rid of the unnatural, unhealthy poisons
in the system, supplying the body with
new blood, arousing the healthful action
of the kidneys, liver and digestive organs,
and nourishing and upbuilding the over
exerted and debilitated nervous system
All this and just this Paine's Celery Com
pound will do. In the multitude of cases
where it has been used it has never
failed.
A case we'll known in Chicago is cited.
Mr. Frank f. Davidson, who is one of
the most brilliant and best known en-
gineers in the world, has just finished
the plans for the great intercepting sewer
system of Chicago, which is to divert the
entire sewerage of the city from Lake
Michigan, through the famous Chicago
drainage canal, and down the Mississippi.
Superintendent Davidson had worked for
months on this scheme. He was well nigh
exhausted and took to his bed with an
attack of the grip. After a while the

NOW, what is the grip?
Can it be avoided or prevented?
And can it be cured?
Grip is characterized by a continued
fever, by a tendency to Inflammation of
the membranes, of the digestive and often
the respiratory tracts, by pain in the
muscles, and by debility.
The grip in individual cases varies from
slight indisposition to severe forms
with grave symptoms-these variations
depending wholly upon the health, age,
temperament or nervous cond of the
person. Those predisposed to rheumatism
suffer great pain in the muscles; persons
of nervous temperament become low
spirited, often have hysteria, and If not
closely watched, have been known to
commit suicide. Several cases of this sort
have been reported this month in the
newspapers Headache is constant
symptom. The bowels are generally con-
stipated Whatever form the disease Takes
there is invariably extreme prostration.
The danger to persons in previous health
full condition is slight
1t has been absolutely proven that there
is one certain preventive of serious cases
of grip; and that there is one remedy for
persons suffering with it, or beginning to
be convalescent from an attack.

Paine's Celery Compound during the last
two months-and the proprietors of this

WELLESLEY COLLEGE.

A pretty little incident occurred while
Madame Gadski was visiting the COL
lege last Saturday evening. All around
the hollow square in the center Of the
main building, for four stories up, the
girls had gathered to cheer wildly for
Madame Gadski after her short infor-
NAL concert. Madame Gadsh came
out and Joined the girls, along with
Fraulein Muller. Soon after she went
UP stairs and threw from her huge
bunch of Russian violets few at a
time down to the throng below. A re-
gular Harvard tree exercise scramble
followed. AS Gadslki took her leave
the girls gave her last rousing cheer
of:
"Kommen sic wieden
Und singer uns Lieder."
AS she nodded her last farewell, she
said, IT have had to-day my pleasant
est day in America" Her little daugh-
ter was to have spent the day here
Wednesday, but the storm prevented
her coming.

changing variety Of clippings from ma
gaines and papers, giving art exhi-
bition notices, criticisms Of recent
books, items about celebrities pictures
of recent paintings or Of authors. In

started by one of the instructors.
An old institution of the college is
the daily news blackboard on which is
written from day to day the summary

stead Of the regular Christian associa-
ton meeting, the Hampton singers will
| pay their annual visit to the college.

chant, Dies at Ripe Old Age.

chant Dies at Ripe Old Age.
Pierce Lamb, father of Matthew B.
Lamb, died at the home of his son, "a
Dread street, at 10 o'clock yesterday
morning. His, death was a great shock
to relatives and friends, as he has only
been sick a week. He became victim
Of the grip a week ago, and a few
days after contracting the illness he
was quite sick, but toward the last it
seemed as if he was on the road to
Improvement. Thursday night there
was noticeable change for the bet
ter, but as morning drew near he grad
ually sank, until death relieved him.
Mr.. Lamb was 81 years old and was
born in Kilkenny. Ireland. When a
young boy he engaged himself in work
as -four miller and starch maker. 1t
was while he was in this business that
the great famine of 184S swept the
country and it was Mr.. Lambs sole
purpose during that time 20 work very
hard to relieve the suffering and poor
around him. In 1859 Mr.. Lamb fol-
lowed to this country his son. Matthew
B. Lamb. When he came to America
he engaged in a light business which
he held to for about a year, but at
the expiration of that time ne retired
from active work, and has since lived
with his son and only child. Before
Mr.. Lamb came to this country his
wife died.
The funeral will be held Monday at
st. Paul's Church with a high mass
of requiem celebrated by Rev. J. j.
Powers. The burial will be i'll st. Johns
cemetery.

Train Service Has Not Yet Recovered
From Storm Effects.

Train Service Has Not Yet Recovered
From Storm Effects.
The bother the railroad people had to
put up with when the storm came down
upon us is by no means over with, for,
although the storm has abated, the
wind has increased in its fury and is
blowing upon the railroad tracks all
the snow that is anywhere near them,
and the result is trains are still having
great difficulty in making schedule
time. A good many Of the trains com
ing into Worcester were late yesterday
morning and afternoon, as they were
blocked at different places where snow
piled up in heaps. The compound en-
gines which have overcome about ev-
cry obstacle that has come their way
since they have been running on the
road met their Waterloo yesterday, for
they also were behind in time.
The train for Leominster, which pulls
out of the Union station late in the
afternoon got along all right until
about half way to that town, and the
passengers were complimentipg them
selves on having such good luck, when
they met with one of those snow noun
tains and got stalled so long as to send
the passengers to sleep. A gang Of men
had to be sent from the nearest station
to dig out the train, and then 1t pro-
ceeded without another mishap to Leo
minister.
The freight that had to be sent to
Springfield and Boston could not be
gotten over the tracks despite the large
force of help, and it is estimated that
only about half of what should go was
shipped.
The Providence train was the only
train that came anywhere near get.
ting to Worcester on time, 1t being a
few minutes late. The Chicago special
which is getting to be chestnut on be-
ing late, was again several hours be-

up-to-date achievements in car build
ing. The band will arrive here at about
9 o'clock this morning and their con-
certs at Mechanics hall will be as bril-

ever enjoyed. The phenomenal success
of the band everywhere this season
clearly demonstrates that Italy's great

they do to Australia. The demand for
seats is large, and the concerts here
