WONDERFUL RESULTS RECENTLY Eff
FEoTED BY COMPOUND.

Buffalo Oct. :, 1901 evening paper
nnblishes a symposium of physicians
opinions regarding the efficacy oayarious
remedies for the cure OF nervous prostra-
ton and attendant ills Each physician
was asked To express his OPINION hrst,
whether those diseases were durable when
once they had gained hold upon the
patient. and, second, whether the same
remedy would be beneficial in all cases.
Without exception, thephysicians inter
viewed declared that nervous prostra-
ton. when not too far advanced, insom-
nia. rheumatism Indigestion resulting, rs
it most frequently does, from deranged
nerves. dizzy headaches, aud most liver
and kidney complaints were absolutely
durable.
But the answer to the second question
was most remarkable, because, with two
exceptions. all the doctors mentioned by
name Paine's celery compound, n wen
known remedy, manufactured 10y Wells
4 Richardson Co., OF Burlington, Vt and
first discovered by the eminent DR.. I'd
ward Phelps, some years age. after a
thorough investigation and the accumu-
lation of a great deal of data, both here
and in Germany.
Ii is probably the one instance, says the
newspaper, where aprepared remedy has
been openly indOrsed by physicians OF
such standing Ii seems that the for
mula OF the compound has always been
furnished to physicians in regular stand
ing. and that the remedy sgenerally pre-
scibed by up-to-date practitioners both
here and in England and Germany, where
it is quite rs well known a. in this
country.
Many wonderful cures by the use OF this
famous compound are cited, one of them
