Every woman is said to make a good nurse.
 The opportunity to try is certainly forced on every woman at some time in her life, and when the time comes and sickness en- ters her home she should know exactly what to do. She can follow no better ad- vice than the expert counsel of physicians and trained nurses who every day see be- fore their eyes the wonderful results of Paines celery compound among their sick, debilitated and nervously exhausted pa tients
 Paines celery compound is the only spring medicine that has the confidence of and is used and prescribed by nurses and physicians.
 For years they have seen patients under their care rapidly recover health and vigor from the use of this wonderful restorative

THE CONVENTIONS AUTHORITY
om the Mobile Register.

From the Mobile Register.
 By what right, 1t is asked did the Mont gomery convention assume to adopt the constitutional convention call and lay down the law to the delegates in such a convention. The answer is that the con vention had the right to speak for the party. This cannot be denied without de- nying the existence of the convention itself. Either it was a democratic convention or it was not a democratic convention; but no one can pretend it was anything but demo- cratic, and, being so, it was entitled to all the privileges of a party convention. The only question was whether or not 1t should exercise its privilege or not; and it saw fit to exercise it. Coming directly from the democrats of the state, 1t advised what those delegates should do when elected to adopted a resolution favoring the holding was a party edict Those who do not so regard it are quick to resent any lack of fealty to the other blanks of the Montgom- cry platform. We are to disfranchise no white man, as the platform says, but we can vote for or against the holding of a convention despite the fact that the plat form declares that we favor the holding of a constitutional convention. Isn't that an absurd contention
 If one plank is good, all are; if one plank Is not to be observed no one is forced to observe the other blanks. To our mind the platform as whole is to be observed, If possible.

of public history that I might add that would be justified by the letter of the gov ernor's brother, but do not feel that this is the time to say more.
 l would, however, suggest to General Johnston that before he again attempts to injure those who gave their time and money to making his brother governor, he explain if he can, why, from a party standpoint the governor appointed to one of the most powerful offices in the state of Alabama man who not only did not vote for the national democratic ticket last time but says he will not in 1900, if the Chicago platform is reaffirmed.
 The general might also, before further using the ''X-Ray" on others, turn it on the heart of the governor, his brother, and reveal to the public the motive that caused the governor, after strongly urging during his first term in a message to the legislature, that the railroad commission should be vested with some power not to renew his recommendation in this regard during his second term.

remedy has so wonderful a record for ef- fectively and lastngly curing those dis- class of druggists and physicians and the impure blood. It has displaced all other spring remedies, in the opinions of the best classm of druggists and physicians and the great mass of intelligent people who judge of remedy by its results more than by what it claims for itself.
 Thousands of letters have been received by the proprietors of Paine's celery com pound and by newspapers and medical journals from men and women in every walk of life, all telling one experience-the immediate relief and perfect cure effected by Paines celery compound.
 The best physicians openly endorse it, use 1t. recommend it and authorize the public use of their statements that Paines celery compound, in case after case, cures rheumatism and kindred diseases. purifies the blood, regulates the stomach, liver, bowels and kidneys, and rejuvenates the fagged-out or diseased nervous system.

MOSES F. JOHNSTON.
Mobile Herald

From the Mobile Herald.
 We quite agree with the Journal. Let us deal tenderly with these erring brothers, hoping that in time they will see the error of their ways. Especially let us do this when we note that the consciences of some of the firmest supporters of Governor Johns ston will not allow them to support q measure which has been approved and en. dorsed by a democratic legislatur6, a democratic state executive committee, and a democratic state convention. It must pain the governor greatly that these sups porters of his show a disposition to kick out of the party traces. But as long as they are true to the governor no one should "brand' them as traitors. For is not Je- seph F. Johnston the Moses of the Alabama democracy? Selah. N

of the Northwestern Hospital School for Nurses at Minneapolis. She writes:
 During the past five years I have found that where the system was run down, noth- ing was so good as Paine's celery com pound. The doctors have often prescribed it to patients under my charge, and l have noted the very satisfactory results. l am glad to recommend it to my friends"
 Miss Georglana Dean, who is graduated nurse from the Francis Willard National hospital of Chicago, says
 "In my experience as trained nurse. I have often observed that where a patient has been very weak, Paines celery com pound has quickly returned him to his wonted vigor, whenever the physician has prescribed it."
 Paine's celery compound Is now the only spring remedy demanded by thoughtful men and women. It has pushed aside the countless unscientific, catch-penny prep arations that have no standing among re- putable physicians and nuress. No other
