Paine'S
Compound
Expels All Winter Impurities
and Poisons from the Blood
and Builds UP the En-
tire System.
AN ASTONISHING PROOF
OF BLOOD CLEANSING AND RESTORATION
TO COMPLETE HEALTH.

True health can only be maintained
by keeping the body free of acid and
sluggish blood and morbid waste mat
tiers. The blood that is pumped through
the heart to all parts of the body, car
ries nourishment and health, or poison
and the seeds of death.
Close confinement in badly ventila ted
offices, stores, and workshops during
the winter months, has lowered the vi
tality of tens of thousands. Poisons
and impurities have been implanted in
the blood; these agents Of death must
be expelled If health would be main
tained during the coming summer.
The month of May should be renovat-
ing and building-up time with the vast
army of weak, debiltated and broken
down men, women, and young people.
If the work of purifying and vitaliz-
ing the blood be longer deferred, erup-
tions, blotches, sores, eczema, scrofula.
erysipelas. and other dangers. are sure
to be your portion.
Paine's Celery Compound meets sue
cessfully at this season all unhealthy
conditions of the blood. 1t is the only
medicine that can guarantee perfect
publication of the vital fluid; that can
give true nutriment to the nerves and
tissues: that can bestow new life, vigor,
and strength for the enjoyment of
summer and the prosecution of life's
duties.
Mr.. George Schmidt. 90 West Third
street. Cincinnati, Ohio. briefly and for
cibly writes regarding his rescue from
slow but sure death: he says:
