PAINE'S
Celery Compound
Makes Permanent Cures in
Chronic and Complicated
Gases of Rheumatism.
1t Gives New Life to Helpless and
Crippled Men and Women.

Professor Edward Z. Phelps, NJ. D.,
LII. D., has given to bis profession a
positive and permanent cure for all
forms of rheumatism from which SO.
many suffer in the autumn season. To.
the rheumatic, this truth should prove
encouraging and comforting. Men and
women suffering intense agonies from
a disease that frequently stiffens the
joints, cripples the limb and renders
its victims quite helpless, can be re-
stored to activity, yigor and health, II
Paine's Celery Compound be used for
a few weeks. There is every reason
why sufferers should pin their faith to
this best Of medicines. Your friends
and neighhors have used it with
success; the honest physician is pre-
scribing it every day in cases where all
other means have failed, and they are
delighted with the happy results.
Why hesitate, or doubt the powers,
virtues and efficacy of the medicine
that is curing thousands to-day? 1t
is your only hope; your safety and life
depend upon its use. Lizzie Pierce,
Folger, Tenn, once helpless and in a
critical condition from rheumatism,
writes thus
81 had rheumatism SO bad that
could not walk, and could not bear to
have my legs moved. | often thought
the disease would kill me. | commenc'
ed taking Paine's Celery Compound
] used two bottles and have not had
the slightest symptom Of rheumatism
since. / wish l could tell the whole
world the good your medicine has done
me. My mother, who had rheumatism
for years, was cured by Paine's Celery
Compound after using a few bottles
She can run now Ike a child and say
she feels ten years younger. / coulC
