The profound and comprehensive
Investigations of Prof. Edward T..
Phelps, the discoverer of Paine's
celery compound, have robbed dis
ease of much of it's alarming char
acter.
Nature has provided in the liver a
safeguard without which every one
would die from the slightest 1mpru-
dence in diet. The blood loaded
with poisons reaches the liver, the
excreting function of that organ
arrests them and they are thrown
back to the bowels. This is the &C
ton of the healthy liver, but this
perpetual overwork at last does what
over-functional activity does for
other organs-impairs or destroys
their excreting power and opens the
door to Bright's disease and dia-
betes. Paine's celery compound en-
ables the liver to work without tear
ing itself to pieces. It supplies ner-
vous energy to the organ and pre-
vents irritation. It purifes the blood
and does not leave the whole purify
ing task to one organ, whether liver,
kidney or bowels. It obviates the
collapse of any one of these organs,
and prevents disease.
It not only regulates the nervous
organization. but directly nourishes
it; sends more and better blood to
supply the wasted nervous tissues

The mint bureau has been working
hard Of late to increase the supply OF
subsidiary silver and the amount in
circulation showed an Improvement Of
50, 1877, 402 during October. This was a
trife less than the coinage Of small sill
yer at the minis, which was 1904, 500 in
half dollars, $4,000 in quarters and
s4s5, 600 in dimes. This work upon the
small pieces compelled the reduction Of
the silver dollar coinage TO 81, 900, OOG
and the conversion Of such gold as wa,
coined into double eagles 10 the amount
of 81, 900, 600 and eagles to the amount
Of $500. 600. None Of the smaller golt
pieces were coined. The total coinage
OF the month was 29,4s9, 1879 pieces, o.
the value Of stl, $50. 100.
