of the body and one feels tired and de-

pain or the ht of indigestion and COR
rect the failing appetite which keeps
pace so closely with the digestive pow
er.
Here Is a heartfelt letter as it was
written on Dec. l. last by Mrs. William
Nelson, who is cashier of the Central
Relief committee OF Chicago:
"Gentlemen:--I have used Paine's
celery compound several times for the
past two years for liver and kidney
trouble. ] have swelled up and felt
sick and bad. The doctors medicines
never helped me, but Paine'e celery
compound always did, There is Moth
| ing Ike it. 1t is splendid"
Nerve tension is disguised under a
good many symptoms that induce
thoughtless people to apply some use
! less local remedy when the only last
| ing relief will come from purified blood
| kidneys aroused to work. stomach Sc
creting abundance of digestive juices
| and a toned-up state of the nerves
| For this there is no need of further
proof as to the value of Paine's celery
| compound than can be furnished by
the readers own neighbOrs if you viii
take the pains TO make inquiries. The
best test of the value of Paine's celery
| compound is TO try ii.
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1899-01-19

The profound and comprehensive in
vestigations of Professor Edward Il.
Phelps, the discoverer of Paine's cell
cry compound, have robbed disease of
much of it's alarming character.
Nature has provided in the liver n
safeguard without which every one
would die from the slightest imprudence
in diet. The blood loaded with poisons
reaches the liver, the excreting func-
ton of that organ arrests them and
they are thrown back to the bowels.
but this perpetual oVerworkat at last does
what over-functional activity does for
other organs-impairs or destroys their
eNcreting power and opens the door to
Bright's disease and diabetes. Paiue's
celery compound enables the liver to
work without tearing itself to pieces.
1t supplies nervous energy to the or
gan and prevents irritation. 1t puri-
fies the blood and does not leave the
whole purifying task to one organ,
whether liver, kidney or bowels. 1t OBJ
viates the collapse of any one of these
organs, and prevents disease.
1t not only regulates the nervous or
gani2ation, but directly nourishes it;
sends more and better blood to supply
the wasted nervous tissues and takes
the killing strain from the kidneys.
When pains appear in different parts
