principally by the roads he has built in
the South. He has brought all Georgia
within hand reach of Atlanta. He is a

While at work on the COvngtOn and
Macon railroad, Machen's health failed.
After much useless expenditure OF time
and money he was induced by frle "a

As the pioneer of a new system of rail-
road building in the South, Maehen knows
what it is to live under intense nervous
strain. His joy at finding in Paine's celery
compound a reliable mears of restoring
his nervous energy is shown in every line
Of his letter to the proprietors Of this
great remedy.
When thousands of men and women in
every walk of life, from the humblest to
the most famous and honored, voluntarily
go out of their way to tell others the
great good PaineS celery compound has
done them; when the ablest physicians
and the best informed pharmacists not
only prescribe and recommend. but them
selves use and find health in Paine's celery
compound, the present great demand for
the spring remedy is not to be wondered
at.
Paine's celery compound is the one real
spring remedy known to-day that never
fails to benefit 1t cures diseases due to
nervous weakness or a bad state of the
blood. The most wide awake, intelligent
part of every community in this country
are among it's most enthusiastic vouchers
and indorsers.
The agreement of opinion among the
best informed, mot observant class Of
people, in 1.-The well-to do homes of our
largest cities. as we'll as in the more
frugal town communities, places Paine's
celery compound far in advance of any
spring remedy.
1t is, in fact, the only spring remedy
ever heard of in the homes of practising
physicians.
