does il. Coughs, colds, lnmbago, asthma,
bronchitis, liver and kidney complaints,
and other ills approachsble by an external
remedy yield to Benson's as icedoes to heat.
Neither Belladonna, Strengthening or
Capsicum plasters are to be compared with
Benson's. People who have once tested
the merits Of Benson's Plaster have NO use
for any other external remedy.
More than 5000 physicians and drug

A census which has just been COM
pleted in British India has brought to
light the extraordinary fact that there
are in that country 1,416,63s persons
who fast and remain entirely idle dur
ing nine months Of every year. These
persons are members of the Jain sect
and their homes are in Bengal and in
the provinces of Guzerat and Rajpu-
tana. Their principal shrine is on the
mountain Of P%arasnath, near Chota
Nagpore, and thither they flock every
spring, in order TO begin the first great
fast of the year. A Jain can easily
live for six or seven weeks without
taking even a morsel of food, and dur
ing certain festivals il is customary
for all Of them TO abstain from GOOD
for two full months. When they eat
they cnnfine Themselves TO vegetables.
for they never Kill IN animal. even in
~self-defense. IT is their RELIGION which
imposes upon them the OBLIGATION of
fasting. but travellers say that absti-
renee from food is no %ra"ance in
their case. ard that even y they were
all to become converted to sowo eth r
creed they would Sin remain .d!e.and
lead a severely ascetic life for the

More practical work and shorter doctrinal
sermons distinguish the pulpit of today.
Bishops and plain ministers of the gospel
are putting tremendous energy into the
cause of good government and public
health.
The injunction minister to the sick and
suffering is being literally obeyed.
Clergymen are investigating remedies as
they have never done before, taking them,
themselves and family, frankly recon-
mending the valuable ones and condemn
ing the worthless.
Rev. w. E. Aldridge of Birmingham,
Ala, says he considers it his duty to let his
people know about Paine's celery COM
pound, as he speaks from personal knowl-
edge. He says:
Gentlemen Il had been afflicted for ten
years with what 1 thought to be heart dis
ease, but after having the physicians eX-
anime me, learned that was almost dead
with indigestion. They told me that they
could give me medicine that would relieve
me, but there was no permanent cure.
Then l began using Paine's celery COM
pound, which gave me immediate relief
and now / am well and enjoying good
health. I can recommend Paine's celery
compound to be the best remedy for all all
ments l ever used, and furthermore, tell
my people if they will use the compound
freely, they will have no doctors bills tC
pay. REV. w. e. ALDRIDGE.

ence to that of the best physicians-advis-
ing the use of Paines celery compound
now spring has come.
AS soon as one has fairly begun to use
Paine's celery compound, every day is a
step toward assured health. Nervous, I'M
happy and feeble persons find their flesh
becomes more solid, more healthy color
takes the place Of the waXy, sallow look,
and there comes an increase in the blood
and an improved normal appetite because
of this rapid feeding of the entire nervous
system.
Clerks, employers, lawyers, doctors,
mothers of families, hard working men and
women in every state and country, and
hosts of brain-workers-the most intelli-
gent part of every cOmmunity-are today
taking Paine's celery compound with the
happiest results to relieve themselves of
rheumatism neuralgia, nervous eXhaus-
ton, dyspepsia, sleeplessness and low
spirits.
Get rid of languor, clear the muddy, I'M

Letter to Vermont Farm Machine Co.
BELLOWS FALLS, VT.

Dear Sirs: You are makers: so are we
You know what you make: you know all
about it. We know our paint as you know
your goods.
We know what it is, how it acts, what it
does, how it lives, and how long-the con-
ditions being favorable or unfavorable.
1t is fair that we take the risk of it every
way; but we ought not to risk any use or
abuse of it.
Can't draw the line. We are dealing
with strangers. We are strangers to them
as they are strangers to us.
We want to be trusted by them. We
trust them first; that's the way to get
trusted. We trust them to paint with a
fair degree of common paint-knowledge
and care. We expect to be trusted to fur
nish paint as good as paint can be, and to
last as long as paint can.
If you do your business that way, you
are fellow with us and one of thousand.
A few mean men in the course of year
will abuse our trust and put us to loss but
999 in 1000 will tell their friends how true
we are, and our paint is. That's what has
made us the largest paint concern in the
world. 1t is our best advertisement.
