! Paine's celery compound during the last
two months-and the proprietors of this
remedy have never known so great cal
for it-has been due TO its use by thousands
of people for whom it has been prescribed
by intelligent physicians, to restore the pa
tents vitality, 10 purify the blood of the
enervaung poison, to restore the nervous
system TO healthy action and to strength
en- the vital organs.
A person viii continue to suffer from the
evil effects of grip for many months I'M
less he attacks the disease by getting rid
of the unnatural, unhealthy poisons in the
system, supplying the body with new
blood, arousing the healthful action of the
Kidneys liver and digestive organs, and
nourishing and upbuilding the over-exer-
ted and debilitated nervous system. All
this and just this Paine's celery compound
win do In the multitude of cases where
it has been used it has never failed.
A case wei known in Chicago is cited
Mr. Frank E. Davidson, who is one of the
most brilliant and best known engineers
in the world, had just finished the plans
for the great intercepting sewer system of
Chicago, which is to divert the entire
sewerage of the city from Lake Michigan,
through the famous Chicago drainage
canal, and down the Mississippi. Superin-
tendent Davidson had worked for months
on this scheme. He was well nigh ex-
hausted and took to his bed with an at

Certain women In New York have their
stockings made TO order by a little Ital-
ian, who, from artistic shoemaker. has
become a tailor of stockings, says the
Chicago Times-Herald. He contends that
1t is badly fitted and carelessy made
stockings that dshgure womens feet and
cause the many trials and fluctuations
from which pedicures reap fortunes. He
cuts his stockings to fit the feet of his
customers. The slender foot with high In
step, the short, broad foot, the taperng
foot and the odd foot that Is narrow at
the heel and very broad at the ball, which
is almost impossible to fit In an ordinary
stocking, all delight the little Italian. 1t
IS not at all likely that he will ever make
a fortune as his prices are only such as
the very rich or very vain would pay.
But one can draw moral from his the
DRY. A cheap stocking is unquestionably
a poor investment. 1t is not the poor ma

tack of the grip After while the dis
ease not having left him. he was advised
10 try Paines celery compound. He was
soon back at his office in the department
of public works, a well man, and forth
with wrote a letter to the propretors of
the remedy, in which he says:
Il mad been told by friends of the won
derful results obtained by them from the
use of Paines celery compound After my
severe attack of the grip / determined to
try it. l have already found that my
friends reports were not at all exaggera>
ted, and / wish to join most cheerfully
with them in recommending the remedy
to Others"
Hundreds of grateful letters have been
writ ten TO the proprietors of Paine's celery
compound since the appearance of grip
this year, telling of the perfect recoveries
it has effected. The letters come from men
and women of many conditions Few per-
sons are so poor they cannot afford TO have
this great remedy constantly in the house,
and none are so prosperous that for their
heahhs sake they can afford to be with
out it. When so many men and women
whose words carry the utmost weight in
the communities in which they live testify
as they do to the great benefit they have
received from Paine's Celery compound,
there can be no hesitancy in trying II. A
single trial is the test which is confidently

After first stroking the humps of his
neighbors, the player put $40 on NO. 80.
He lost; began over again, always betting
on the same number, but It never turned
up. AT last in disgust he got up and
went away, after giving the deformities
two louis. the price agreed on with the
supposed mascots.
They forthwith began to fight for pos
session of the money, tearing each others
hair, kicking and cutting till, during the
struggle. their humps fell on the floor.
