Lon V. Stephens is the first native -born
Governor of Missouri; neighboring Kentucky
has furnished the rest.
As chief executive of the State of Missouri
his policy is business like, economical and
progressive.
Gov. Stephens frankly and freely recon-
nends Paine's celery compound. He has
been greatly benefited by it, and whenever
there Is sickness in his family Paine's celery
compound is the remedy that is used.
As q witness to the wonderful efficacy of
this remedy, especially in spring, the exper-
ience of the Chief Executive of the State told
in the following letter cannot be slightingly
passed over.
Executive Department,
State of Missouri,
Jefferson City, Feb. 8 1899.
Gentlemen:
have used Paine's celery compound, keep
1t in my house for family use, and find it a
splendid remedy. Very respectfully yours,
LON V. STEPHENS.
Why is Paine's celery compound today the
most successful spring remedy in the world I
1t is so wonderfully successful simply be-
Bellows Falls times. [volume] (Bellows Falls, Vt.) 1856-1965, 1899-04-22

cause 1T accomp ishss IN every instance ex-
actly what is claimed for it.
And of what other remedy can that be
saidl
Every form of nervous trouble, whether 10.
Called in the muscles, heart, brain, or in the
nerves themselves, is cured-to stay cured
by Palne's celery compound. Every kind and
degree of impoverishment of the system is
overcome by this greatest of all invigorators
after other remedies have shown no benefi-
cial effect.
1t is the spring remedy vouched for by ply
sicians, teschers and we'll read, well informed
men and women in every part of the country.
People are everywhere dying of exhausted
nervous energy or dragging out their lives in
pain and discomfort, because of sleeplessness,
| nervousness and tagged out brains. The OBJ
iective point of Paine's celery compound in
successfully curing such nervous troubles is
| to feed the nerves, build up the wasted brain
| parts, nourish the tissues and increase the
constructive capacity of the blood. Health
and renewed life to all the nervous tissues
thus takes the place of the lethargy and the
debility of disease, when Paine's celery COM
| pound is employed.

bothered me until my cold was better. After
working hard for few days felt lame and
sore and if turned around quickly stitch
like pain caught me in the back, which for
the time being was very severe. In the fall
of 1896 my back was very bad and had nv
attention called to Doan's Kidney Pills. /
sent and got box at Andrews drug store.
They were just what l needed. They re-
lieved me in every way and made me better
and stronger. I still use them once in q
while and from what know of them can
safely say that Doan's Kidney Pills will do
all that is claimed for them
