adviS ed use of Paine's celery com
pound. AS great leader and writer
in Boston publicly declared one day,
Pane's celery compound has proven
itself to be as much better than all
the ordinary nervjneS, sarsaparillaS,
and trade preparations as the dia-
mond is brighter than ordinary glass.
From thousands OF grateful per-
sons unsolicited testimonial, began
to pour in from those whom Paine s
celery compound had benefited. The
wealthy and the poor the famous
and the comparatively unknown sent
to the proprictors Of the remedy, to
the newspapers, to their physicians,
to their friends, the glad news that
here at last they had found a remedy
that made them themselves again!
And the foolish fellows with their
silly nostrums, starting up here and
there every year; discovered as often
as they tried it that, when a person s
health is at stake, he or she will not
be imposed upon. Paine's celery COM
pound was in greater demand last
year than the year before: the de-
mand this spring is greater than for
all the so-called spring remedies COM
bined. People insist upon having the
one remedy that does them good,
makes them strong. repairs their
shattered strength. They call for
Paine S celery compound.
The story OF the lifework Of this
great physician has been often told,
