physician has been often told, and is
familiar to most readers.
Prof Phelps was born in Connecticut
and graduated from the military school
at Norwich. VT He studied medicine
with Prof. Nathan Smith, of New Haven.
Conn and graduated in medicine at Yale.
His unusual talent soon brought him
reputation and prominence. First he was
elected 10 the professorship of anatomy
and surgery in the Vermont University
Next he was appointed lecturer on ma
terra medica and medical botany in
Dartmouth College. The next year he
was chosen professor of the chair then
vacated by Prof. Robby, and occupied the
chair the most important one in the
country at the time when ne first formu-
lated his most remarkable prescription.
To-day Paine's celery compound stands
without an equal for feeding exhausted
nerves and building up the strength OF
the body. 1t cures radically and perra-
nently. The nervous proStration and gen
