Easter Sunday. At the meeting of the
officers of the Belglca, which DR.. Cook
left at Coya TO attend on March ID,
and at which the future plans of The ex-
petition were TO be settled, the decision
was evidently reached that it would be
wiser to return home. This may be in
ferred from the fact that the cablegram
received here on April last was SEM by
DIR. Cook from Montevideo. The message
was follows:
"Montevideo, Uruguay, April 4.-The

Paine's celery compound helped me and

fact. ENRIQUE GUERRA"
AS spring comes on most women and
many men who have lived hot-house lives
during the winter find themselves unduly
ffetful, unable to sleep soundly. without
appetite, easily tired, frequently distressed
by headaches, and lacking SNAP" and
strength-the result of poor blood and
weak nerves.
To those in this condition, the thousands
of testimonials from people like Mr.. Guer-
ra who have been benefited by Paines
celery compound, should be reason enough
for giving this best of all spring medicines
at least a trial. What 1t has done for 9TH
ers, it will do for the reader. 1t will purify
the blood, clear the complexion, rejuvenate
the exhausted nervous system, insure good
digestion, bring on healthy sleep, and re-
store ones strength and vitality
No other medicine in the world ever ac-
cornplished so much, and a single trial will
add another to the long list of people in
every community who gratefully sound
the praises of Paine's celery compound
