Exhaustion Of Nerve Force is
Common III SprinStime.
Paine's sCelery Compound
BaniShes
Nervous Prostration, Hyste ria,
and SleeplessnesS.

Any intelligent man or woman can
easily detect victims of nervous trou-
bles by taking ten minutes walk on
any of the crowded streets of our cities
or towns. The observer will note
countenances full of feverish anxiety,
harrassed looks, unsteady hands, fall
tering steps, twitching muscles, pallid
faces, and startled, anxious looks
when unusual noises are made. Such
people are, without doubt, victims of
nervous prostration, hysteria, or in
somnia. The whole system suffers
the brain, the spinal cord, and the
sympathetic system.
1t is unnecessary to dilate minutely
on the causes of nervousness. Busi-
ness cares and disappointments, haste
after riches and honors, social and
household duties, sexual and alco-
holic eXcesses, watching and anxiety
and loss of near and dear ones, all
contribute to the breaking down of
the nervous organism of men and wo-
men.
In earnest words we set before this
afflicted class the truth that Paine's
Celery Compound affords a speedy
and sure cure for all forms OF nervous
diseases The great medicine is a
perfect restorer of nerve force and
power; a sure builder and strengthen
er of the weak and debilitated system.
Paine's Celery Compound has enab-
led thousands in every city and town
of our land to renew and invigorate
their health and keep their places in
business and in society. In all large
centres where nervous diseases are
common, the best physicians prescribe
Paine's Celery Compound with con
tinued success.
A few bottles of natures health re-
storer used during the month of May,
will completely Danish all nervous
disorders, by giving new nerve force,
purer blood, better digestion, normal
appetite and refreshing sleep. In a
word, Paine's Celery Compound will
give you the full powers Of robust
manhood and true womanhood.

as a result have a number of children.
but had neglected to marry. They were
arrested some months ago on Charge
OF violating the law applicable to such
case and sentenced to Jail.
Friends interested themselves in the
matter and made an arrangement with
the court officials whereby If the two

The Rev. DR.. Howard, the Jail minis

attorney, acted as best man. The pris-
oners in their wire cages acted as wit
nesses of the unique ceremony. After

their respective cells to await orders
for their release.
