Now, what is the grip?
Can it be avoided or prevented?
And can If be cured?

Can 1t be avoided or prcVentcu'
And can it he cured?
Grip Is characterized by n continued
fever, by Il tendency to Inflammation of
the mem ranes of the digestive and
often the respiratory tracts. by pain
in the muscles, and by debility.
The grip in individual cases varies
from a Slight indisposition to severe
forms with grave mptoms-these
variations depending wholly upon the
health, age, temperament or nervous
condition of the person. Those pre-
disposed to rheumatism suffer great
pain in the muscles; persons of ner-
vous temperament become low spirit
ed. often have hysteria, and, ii not
closely watched, have been known to
commit suicide. Several cases of this
sort have been reported this month
in the newspapers. Headache is a
constant symptom. The bowels are
generally constipated. Whatever
form the disease takes there is invari-
ably extreme prostitution the dan
ger to persons in previous healthful
condition is slight.
1t has been absolutely proven that
there is one certain preventive of SER
ious cases of grip; and 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
its attack.
The unexampled public demand for

Paine's celery compound during the
last two mOnths-and the pro-
prietors of this remedy have never
known so great n call for it-has been
due to its use by thousands of people
intelligent physicians, to restore the
patients vitality, to purify the blood
of the enervating poison, to res tore
the nervous system to healthy action
and to rtrengthen the vital organs.
A person will continue to su fer
from the evil effects of grip for many
months unless he attacks the disease
by getting rid Us the unnatural, un-
healthy poisons in the system, sup
plving the body with new blood,
arousing the healthful action of the
kidneys, liver and digestive organs,
and nourishing and uphill ding the
over-exerted and debilitated ner-
vous system. All this and Just this
Paine's celery compound will do. In
the multitude of cases where it has
been used it has never failed.

famous Chicago drainage canal and
down the Mississippi. Supt. Davidson
had worked for months on this scheme.
He was well nigh exhausted and took
to his bed with an attack of the grip.

Hundreds of grateful letters have
been written TO the proprietors of
Paine's celery compound since the APP
pearance of grip this year, telling of
the perfect recoveries it has effected.
The letters come from men and wom-

are so poor they cannot afford to have
this great remedy constantly in the
house, and none are so prosperous
that for their health's sake they can
afford to be without it. When so many
men and women whose words carry
the utmost weight in the commune
ties in which they live and testify as
they do to the great benefit they
have received from Paine's celery

trying it. A single trial is the test
