Compound feeds these vital parts, and it
is upon its marvellous power of nourish-
ing all the nerve tissues and purifying the
blood that its remarkable cures depend.
WEAKNESS, lack of energy. and despond-
ency are more a matter of nerves and
brain than OF the muscles. At this season
OF the year when thousa nds of over
working people are entering upon the
drudgery that will have no cessation for
nearly year to come. many are already
showing the symptoms that sooner or
later result from hurry, care, anxiety, and
haste without the amount of rest and
recreation that nature intended.
Thousands of tired mothers, school
teachers. and too ambitious scholars will
reveal the strain before the winter is
over
1t is high time for all to strike at the
root of the trouble. Begin the work of
recuperation and cure at the earliest mo-
ment
All who try it will find strength and
freedom from disease in Paine's Celery
Compound. which corrects unhealthy
nerve action. and supplies the veins with
pure, more abundant, more vigorous
blood Paine's Celery Compound is almost
universally prescribed by physicians-who
differ on many other things. but who
estimate at its proper worth this greatest
Of all remedies for the prevention and
cure of disease. It is no exaggeration to
say that every week brings hundreds of
letters from those who have used Paine's
Celery Compound and have been benefited
by it Above is the picture of Representa-
tive G. II. Storms, one of the cattle
- kings of Kansas, who says: Il regard
Paine's Celery Compound as the most
beneficial and valuable OF remedies. espe-
cially during the fall months" He writes
as have many thousands Of others OF the
good the remedy has done in his own
case. Let the reader try it and prove for
himself the abundant truth of all that
has been said.
It is not what Paine's Celery Compound
says. but what IT does. that tells the story
of its worldwide fame

GOVERNOR YATES.
Endorsement of Paine'S Celery
Compound
Attracts the Attention of Med
ical Journals.
Thousands of Such Cases-Mr.
Storms Letter.

A medical journal, says writer in the
Boston Traveller" has the names and
addresses and fun histories of hundreds
OF cases of chronic and acute rheumatism
that have been permanently cured by the
wonderful remedy which has recently
been attracting wide attention since Gov
ernor Yates of Illinois publicly endorsed
1t.
Nothing else has ever been known to
cure like obstinate cases. When all others
have failed this marvellous remedy for
blood and nerves has made sick people
well.
Paine's Celery Compound corrects un-
healthy nerve action and feeds the nerve
centres with the elements needed to build
them up again into healthy tissues 1t
cleanses the blood Of every trace of pois-
onous humor and encourages n rapid
growth of the red corpuscles, upon which
the vigor OF the entire body depends.
Its action Is perfectly Ineligible to
every able physician.
Diseases of the nervous system do not
come without warning. rheumatism, dys-

and kidneys are but loud cries for a
prompt increase of nourishment for the

CLERGYMAN FEES DIsALLoWED
Comptroller Rules Payment for Re
Iisious Services Unauthorized

According TO a decision of l. p
Mitchell. Assistant Comptroller Of the
Treasury. the payment by the United
States OF minister for religious services
at the burial Of an army officer Is unau-
thorized. The decision was rendered on
an appeal taken from the action Of the
Auditor for the War Department disal-
lowing the claim by Edward Lloyd cap
tain, Fifteenth infantry, United States
army.
Captain Lloyd In his appeal stated that
the amountof $3.50 WAS expended by him
AS post quartermaster at Fort Grant
Ariz. for the funeral expenses of the late
Lieut.. Ulysses 6. Kemp. of the Seventh
Cavalry. or the above amount $50 was
for the services Of a minister and the
balance, $3.50. was to reimburse him
for railroad fare from Tucson, Ariz. to
Fort Grant Ariz., and return.
Captain Lloyd further stated that this
amount was expended by the orders OF
the then post commander Col. Michael
COoney, United States Army, now re-
tired.
In his decision Mr. Mitchell says that
since the payment was unauthorized by
law, the dsburSing officer must be held
responsible, and even If II were shown"
AIT. Mitchell concludes. that the payment
made under order OF his com
manding officer that fact would not re
lieye the disbursing officer or furnish Ie-
gal excuse for payment"
