VVhen. several years ago. New YorlS's
great Presbyterian minister made the
public statement that it was due to the
use of Paine's celery compound that'
after a winter of exhausing work, he
was able to carry on his duties through
the enervating springtine with unusual
ease and comfort
And when. a little later. the learned
Bishop Of Burlington, Bishop Miehaud'
published an Endorsement Of this great
remedy saying: Hoping that my
words may inspire those readers who
need health and strength with faith to
Try Paine's celery compound and prove
to themselves its worth
When. about the same time, the public
statement was made by the superintend-
emit of the largest Woman'S Christian
Association in Che country that those
who have been taking Paine'S celery
compound are greatly benefited and de-
sire to continue its use
When the Rev. J. G. Laird Of London,
Ont. who wrote to the pr0prietors that,
Il he had only known Paine's celery
compound when he was first afflicted
with nervousness. he would never have
been placed on the list of retired min
listers
When these and hundreds OF other I'M
solicited testimonials have come from
ministers Of every denomination. there is
no shadow Of a question of the sincere
regard in which this greatest Of all
remedies for blood and nerves IS held
by those who have used it.
Jealous work with no thought OF
their health or nerves, causes the retire
ment of large number of clergymen
every year.
Tt is possible. however. to work hard
and yet keep well. If one win but pay
the proper attention to the benefits to
be derived from Paine's celery com
pound

piled in cipher: "For one month we
have been besieged in British legation

continued firing into the compound.
Letters passed between the ministers

news was verified that the allied troops
were marching to the relief Of the lega.

bombardment was opened and kept up

Chinese turned away from the lega'

The nird MAT Flies Longest.

Mr.. ]. Lancaster, naturalist, who
spent five years on the west coast Of
Florida studying birds there, came to
the conclusion that Of all the feathered
tenants of the air the frigate bird can
fly the longest without resting. He has
seen one flying for a whole week night
and day without repose
The frigate bird can feed, collect ma
terials for its nest and even sleep on
the wing. Apparently its wings can
be controlled automatically, without
the power Of its will, and it probably
adapts itself to take advantage of the
upward or bearing force of the wind.
The spread of the frigate birds wing
is great. and it can fly at a speed of
ninety-sn miles an hour, without SEEM
ing to flap its wings much.
The albatJoss-that liking of the high
seas" as it has been called-is larger
than the frigate bird, but If 1t follows
q vessel for four or five days it has to
rest on u rock or on the ship itself.
