got no benefit from them. We pur-

Chicago. May 31.-As predicted by Jacob RiiS

city has settled In ten blocks in of these
sections the commission found $500 people liv

Paine's Celery
Compound
Will Danish the Summer Blues
and Other Distresses That
Make Life Miserable
and Unhappy

This is the season when we hear
men and women complaining about
their unhappy and half dead con-
dition. They find that physical and
mental energy has deserted them,
and they are sinking deeper in the
pit of dependency.
The hot summer weather always
produces thousands of miserable
feeling mortals. They lack nerve
force, strength and true vitality.
They can not rest day or night, and
life becomes burden.
The great recuperator, builder and
strength giver for all weary WORKOUT
and suffering people is Paine's
Celery Compound, now so univer-
sally prescribed by medical men.
When the great medicine is used at
this season, languor, dependency,
irritability, nervousness, sleepless-
ness, headache, dyspepsia and indi-
gestive troubles are permanently
banished, and men and women go
about their duties and work with a
vim, will, and health and strength.
Mr.. J. II, Clark, Newark, Del,
who was in a critical condition of
health from troubles extremely
common in summer time, writes
thus about his marvellous rescue
from death:
When was attacked with nerv-
Gus prostration, / went TO one of
our local doctors. | continued to
grow worse, and consulted other
physicians, but with very little ap-
parent good. No tongue can eX-
press or pen describe my feelings
and sutferings from this terrible
disease. After spending considera-
bic money in the vain hope of being
cured, / was led to try Paine's
Celery Compound. and it is this
medicine which enabled me to enjoy
the health / now have. After the
torture / experienced night and day
for years, the change is wonderful"
