Paine's Celery Compound the Best
Spring Medicine in the World.

Spring finds everybody more or less ''run-
down"
Spring lassitude" is not empty phrase 1t
is not superstition or wcrn-out saying, but
strictly scientific fact.
Prudent people all over the country appreciate
the fact that in the spring the health is under
every ones control than at any other time, and,
whether sick or we'll
They are taking advantage Of the marvellous
nvigorating power of Pane's celery compound
On every hand there are sarsaparias nervines and
toncs, but they do not touch the edge of the real
trouble-nervous debility.
When such remedies have been tried and prov
ed valueess, Paines celery compound has surprs-
cd and delighted by its wonderful lasting results.
Nature, the kindest and gentlest of nurses is
disposed during these spring days, to put the bloc
and nerves in healthy condition and no remedy so
ably seconds her effort as Paine's celery compound.
This best of all spring remedies is making peo-
pie we'll and insuring others against future break
downs.
AS soon spring sets init is now the sea-
son-everybody has more or less feeling of lang
our; there is diminished appetite disturbed sleep

The irritability of temper, the peevishness,

Nervousness, that 50 often appears at this sea-

the way for a long list of malades. If you are
overworked, haggard from seepess nights, nervous
and unhappy, do not give way to dread and depres-

rcmedy-to try it.
Now spring has come, the tired feelings and
''out of sorts" condition are to that the
blood is impure and the nerves ''run down.

critical time. 1t supplies scientific nerve food
Taken now, it will enable the body to throw off
