For recruiting the strength and spent
energies of men and women advanced in
years, there can be no substitute for Paine's
celery compound, 1t is the one preparation
considered worthy the name of true nerve
food and blood remedy by physicians
throughout the country. 1t ia prescribed
by them in every State in the Union to tone
up the system, regulate the nerves, and re-
store health and strength.
Nothing in the past has ever approached
it in power OF building up weakened nerve
tissues and giving strength to the tired
body. In severe cases of persistent head
aches, dyspepsia, neuralgia and sleepless-
ness, due TO nervous feebleness, Paine's
celery compound has a record OF rapid and
lasting cures that embraces every city and
town in the wide sweep OF the United
States
Its remarkable power over diseases lies in
its active replacing of WORKOUT parts by
new, healthy ones, and its healing and pu-
rifyng action among the most minute It's
sues of the body.
The heavy, alarming pain in the back and
lons disappears; the growing paleness, ner-
vousness and loss OF flesh is stopped, and a
bright, buoyant feeling gradually takes the
place OF that unending sense of tire and
nervous depression.
An improved appetite, sound digestion,
uninterrupted sleep, and an energetic ner-
vous condition invariably follow the use OF
Paines celery compound.
