Hon. F. 3. Doran, who has been sew

sesses many of the characteristics that
go to make the reputation of a sound
man." and is the last person in the
world to publicly endorse anything of
which he has not fully Informed him

Mayor Doran decided to take Paine's
celery compound this spring, having
heard much of its wonderful efficacy
from physicians, neighbors, and init
mate friends He was rot disappointed
His experience with this great remedy
was so gratifying that few days ago
he sent the prOprietors a testimonial
which adds conclusive proof to the
statement Of physicians that. of all the
spring remedies that can be had,
PaIne's celery compound stands far
above all others in honest and great re-
suits:
March q. 1901
Dear Sirs: 1 am convinced that
everyone, sick or well, needs to take
spring remedy, and for that purpose I
believe nothing can equal Paine's cell
cry compound I commend 1t especially
TO the nervousIy afflicted Very truly
yours, F. 3. DORAN.

Because man IS growing old he need
not be an invalid. Old age isn't a dis
ease, a man at sixty should be wen,
and many at seventy are as well as
ever in their lives
But as age comes on the blood needs
to be rid of rheuma tism and the mus
cIes Of neuralgia; the nerves need
feeding and the brain nourishment-
Paine's celery compound is food for the
brain and nerves It builds up the
strength of the body The saddest Ig-
norance is for a sick person not to know
the remedy that will make him well
Fortunately, few people have failed to
hear Of the remarkable cures from the
use Of Paine's celery compound.
For rheumatism, neuralgia, impure
blood, nervous diseases, and kindred
troubles, it is a positive cure. The ex-
perimental efforts of scores and scores
of so-called spring remedies with which
the market IS constantly recruited are
IN startling contrast with the thorough
y scientific way in which Paine's eel
cry compound restores health and vigor
to the worn-out blood and nerves
New strength, new life, new health
come from its use-especially is this
true in the spring.
