Manila, January o.-The situation is

whom he was then as now, undoubt-

Why do progressive and intelli-
gent physicians Of every school pre-
scribe Paine's celery compound in
preference to any other remedy?
Because they know its value; they
know that it has prolonged the lives
of thousands of sufferers; it has made
their sick patients well.
The best test that can be applied
to Paine's celery compound is to use
il.
If one is "run down." feels with
out energy, lifeless, useless, fretful,
take this great remedy, and note the
change. Constipation will no longer
give one a dsquieting 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.
These cold months should make
every healthy person put on weight,
eat with moro appetite, and sleep
more soundly than ever.
But If there is lack of capacity
for sound sleep or condition Of
nervous disorder, not day should
be lost in driving the irritating causes
out of the system.
General good health depends upon
the perfect action of the nervous
currents, the vigor OF the circulation
and the quality of the blood.
Nine men in ten are suicides-not
that they mean 10 be, but because
they put up with poor health day
after day until they cannot shake it
off.
The history of Paine's celery CON-
pound has been made familiar to
every intelligent household in the
land. In the clearest and most di-
rect manner conscientious men and
women have told OF their rapid recov-
cry from disease by the use of this
remedy.
Convalescents recover most rapid
ly who take it.
Paine's celery compound is unap-
preached by any other remedy for
restoring the nervous system when
broken down or impaired from over
exertion of mind or body.
II Itstrepgthens the digestive powers,
renews the blood and acts in the
vitalizing, curative, thorough manner
that makes it the grandest help to
suffering men and women the world
of medicine affords.

which Paine's celery compound alone
will quickly drive out.
When the arms, hips or back feel
the twinges of acute rheumatism it
is high time to relieve the kidneys
and bladder from the strain that so
often brings on Bright's disease,
gravel, dropsy and complications Of
diseases with other organs whose
health depends upon the purity of
the blood. Prompt use of Paine's
celery compound will save the weak
ened parts from yielding TO disease.
In its peculiar ability TO invigo-
rate the body, TO make new blood
and to regulate the nerves, lies the
great value Of Paine's celery com.
pound in all wasting diseases and
disorders of the kidneys, liver and
stomach.
Paine's celery compound rescues
shaky, enfeebled nerves from pros
tration and removes that feeling of
utter exhaustion that causes so much
dependency among SO many wor-
ried men and women.
1t makes flesh, blood and strong
nerves.
Paine's celery compound is not a
patent medicine /. 1t is not the dis
covery of some quack doctor of
whom his profession never heard; it
not concoction put up by some
man who first invented a name, and
then adopted preparation to fit 1t;
it is not secret remedy.
But it is, first, the result of the
lifelong study OF the greatest phy-

much good; a man who has received
the highest degrees from the best
colleges, who was at the time of his
discovery professor at Dartmouth

When a person doesn't feel quite
well he likes to think he's got the
grippe"
When live news Is a little dull the
reporter says grippe" is spreading.
Every sort of cure and all kinds
of nostrums are suddenly adver-
tised to cure grippe
The baseball season being out of
it, his distant relatives having died.
the Office boy now gets a day off by
saying he has grippe
"Grippe" is made to account for
good deal. Yet in Portland after
this disease has popularity been sup
posed to be "raging" for several
months, there haven't been half a
dozen deaths attributed to it up to
date, and it has always been report
ed as existing with complications"
the complications being everything
from teething in the case of an in
FAINT, to old age and heart failure in
the case of an octogenarian.
But there is no denying the Sc
rious fact that there is a great
amount of sickness in and around
Portland; that overworked men and
women suffer more than at almost
any time of the year from lassitude,
headaches, slight chills and fever and
other symptoms OF imperfect health;
that people fall sick more readily
now than at any other time of the
year, and that whenever an epidem-
ic does appear it invariably plays
havoc with those who are run down
and out of condition.
There is no doubt that in this
peculiar winter, when, as last week,
a depressing spring-like day has
been followed over night by crisp,
cold, bracing, winterish, Alaskan
weather, to be followed afterwards
by warm, unhealthful thaw, there
is no doubt that anyone's general
health is affected.
The utmost caution should be
taken to keep the blood pure and
the nervous system in healthy tone.
There is no more excuse for the
prevalent symptoms of stagnant, i'm.
pure blood in the body than there is
for the barbarism of filthy streets in
city.

of the excretory organs loads the

Ground Against senator PIstrs
Position and Maintains That Ae-
quirement OF Philippines Is Against
Constitution and Declaration of
Independence.
Washington, January 9.-This proved
to be an interesting day In The Senate,
the principal subject under discussion be-
ing the constitutional right of the United
States to carry into effect the policy of ex-
pansion.
The leading speaker was Mr.. Hoar, Re-
publican OF Massachusetts,, who delivered
a speech IN support of the resolution In
troduced by Mir. Vest, Democrat of Mis-
souri,. declaring 1t to be in opposition to
the constitution for this country to &C.
quire foreign territory to be governed as
colonies. Although Mr.. Hoar occupied
the time of the Senate for more than two
hours he was accorded the unusual COM
pliment of close and undivided attention
by his colleagues on the floor and largo
audience in the galleries. He confined
himself closely to his manuscript. but his
address was delivered with all the fire,
earnestness and animation of the orator
that be Is. Mr.. Hoar Is q master Of the
subtleties of the English language and a
rhetorician of notable ability. and his
keen saruasm and wit were thoroughly
enjoyed by his auditors His speech was
In answer to that recently delivered by
Mir. Platt, Republican of Connecticut,

He took strong ground against the
position assumed by the Connecticut
Senator. maintaining that it was in
violation of the constitution and the
declaration OF Independence, the great
oxpounder of the constitution for this
country to acquire foreign territory to be
held and governed as colonies.
Mr Platt at the conclusion of Mr..
Hoar's address. briefly replied to some OF
the speech which had been directed
especially against him. He reiterated his
former statement that the United States
had power to acquire and govern foreign
territory and declared that had this
country EN- mbraoed the doctrine of Mr..
Hosr. the May flower would haze been
turned back from Plymouth Rock and
the country would never have expanded
TO the Pacific coast.
Mr.. Gallery concluded his speech in op-
position to the Nicaraguan canal bill,ebut
an effort to TX time for vote upon it
failed.
