The Farmers Success De-
ponds Upon Freedom
From Disease and
Suffering.
PAINE'S CELERY
COMPOUND
is THE MEDICINE THAT HAS
MADE THOUSANDS OF COUN
TRY TOILERS WE'LL AND
STRONG

There are thousands Of farmers in
our land who are rich in broad acres
and gold, yet lack that true wealth
known as goo health.
1t is melancholy fact that men
and women in the country districts,
breathing the purest air and drinking
from Gods bubbling fountains and
limpid springs, are liable to tie same
diseases and ailments that come thick
and fast to city people. We find
rheumatism, neuralgia, debility, dys-
pepsia, kidney and liver troubles, and
blood diseases almost as common in
the farmers family as they are In city
homes.
Paine's Celery Compound heavens
best blessing to the farming commun.
ity, has done more for the Danish
ment Of dread disease and the build
ing up Of health than all other com.
bined medicines. Mr.. John Zuspan,
a prominent and well known farmer
OF Middleport, Ohi), writes specially
for the benefit of sufferers in the rural
districts. He says:
"Last November l was so badly
crippled with rheumatism, which came
on in June, that could hardly walk
without the aid Of crutches or heavy
stick. About the 10th of November |
commenced taking Paine's Celery
Compound, and after using four bot
ties l was completely cured and was
able to attend to Lay usual work as
we'll as when was forty. l am now
sixty.six and can walk and run as we'll
as man of thirty"

SILENT ARTILLERY.
French Omcer's Invention 10 DO Away
With Flash. smoke and Noise.


LONDON. Nov Cool Humbert.
French officer, recently brought out an
ingenious invention which. 1t il asserted.
will entirely abolish sound, fash and smoke
when a gun IL fired, but In it's present stage
the invention would apparently make a
feldglm a rather unwiedy machine.
The invention consists of long tube
screwed to the muzzle OF the gun. The
inside Of the tube is fitted with series Of
short steel cylinders. One end OF these
cylinders is quite open and the other closed
but with hole in the centre slightly larger
than the bore Of the gun. The cylinders
are placed in the tube till it is quite full.
Then screw plug is inserted, and all are
pressed into close contact.
The tube is thus divided into a series
Of small compartments communicating
with the bore OF the gun and with each
other by small holes at tn cir bases. 1heIe
sui, is that the volume Of sound and the flasl.
of the discharge are broken up. Assoon as the
shot clears the muzzle the gas PUSHES to the
first compartment, where IL is retained until
the base projectile il clear OF the entrance
to the second cylinder. when IL Immediately
follows it. This process il repeated f. ON
one compartment after another, with the
result that the gas has gradually more and
more room for expansion, and when the pro-
