-Rumor says that young man who
was collecting pictures for enlargement,
near Newhaven last week, stopped at
the home of Mrs. Severson and after
the usual conversation asked for drink
of water. The lady said she would get
him nice cool drink and went out to
the well after it. After the stranger
had drank and departed the lady missed
her watch which had been out in plain
sight. Being plucky woman she start
ed after the canvasser and found him
at the next house. Climbing into his
buggy she refused to get out until he
gave up the watch. He denied the
charge at first but when she persisted,
he saw it would make trouble not to
comply, he forked over the property and
. took his departure. That is what

fake agents and canyassers. Look out

Paine's Celery
Compound
Banishes Disease. Establishes
Health, and Gives Us Physical
Strength to Maintain
Our Place in Lies
Conflict

Many of us find life hard and full
of pain. While we can not well
avoid the sufferings that result from
wrongs and injuries, we can keep
ourselves from the pains and
ravages of bodily ailments and dis
eases, and maintain that full meas
ure of health that will enable us to
meet the wrongs that assail us from
day to day.
If you are run down, fretful, de-
spondent, irritable, sleepless, be
assured you are becoming ply sically
impaired and weakened. If the re-
Taxed and sluggish action of the
excretory organs has loaded the
blood and body with poison, pro
ducing headache, rheumatism, neil
ralgia, kidney and liver troubles,
then disease is encireling you in its
chains.
Prompt use of Paine's Celery
Compound will save the weakened
parts of the body from yielding 10
disease. The great medicine saves
weak and snfeebled nerves from
prostration, and removes every feel
ing Of exhaustion and dependency.
1t cures and saves those who are
bound by disease and suffering aud
gives them a rev lease Of life
Ex-Alderman Fred O. Brenner, of
Troy, \. Y, a popular and esteemed
citizen who thanks Paine's Celery
Compound for his present ragged
good health, writes for the h@neiit
of weak, nervous ara dysPsptic
sufferers he says:
