A Prominent Clergyman Tells
How He Escaped from His
Deadly Perils.

When spring comes with it's gentle show
ers its balmy air, its bright sunshine AMI

homes scenes of suffering and physical
decay.
The seeds Of disease which were imper-
ceptibly terminating during the winter

system dangers that now call for instant
care and attention. Neglect aud procras-
tination only deepen existing perlls and lead
to death
Before the advent Of spring, you must
have noted symptoms, perhaps of iudlges-
ton, dyspepsia, rheumatism, neuralgia, kid.
ney disease, liver complaint, functional ir
regularlties, or nervous disorders.
Take warning sufferers The symptoms
you experience are signals of disease. De.
lay not another day; hesitation and indie
csion on your part may forever seal your
fate II you have already made efforts to
Danish your troubles by the use of other
medicines ana the treatment of physicians,
and these have failed we counsel you to
put your full trust in that great disease
banisher Paine's Celery Compound, Its use
for n week or two will convince you that
you have truly commenced new existence.
