Paine's Celery
Compound
Will Secure for You the
Health That Other Medicines
Cannot Give.
1t Stands First and Highest in
Public Estimation.
The Use OF One Bottle COnyin-
ces the Skeptic and
UnbeIiever.

The tone, character, and quality of the
testimonials published in favor of Paine's
Celery Compound have firmly established
its position in the homes of all intelligent
and thoughtful people
Paine's Celery Compound has always
appealed OF the sick and suffering with
honest statements and solid facts. Some
doubters-with honest purpose-have TAX
en- the trouble to write to, and in many
cases have interviewed the writer's of
published testimonials. In every case
they have been thoroughly satisfied and
convinced that Paine's Celery Compound
effected cures that were marvellous, as
and happy.
Paine's Celery Compound claims a
field not successfully filled by any other
remedy known to medical science. 1t is
the medicine on which the poor, disap-
medicines fail, when doctors give the pat
lent up as incurable.
To the weak, debilitated, nervous, bro
ken down, and respondent, Paine's Gel
cry Compound gives new and joyous ex-
istence. 1t strengthens the digestive pow
ers. renews the blood, and acts in the
vitalizing, curative, thorough manner that
makes it the grandest help to suffering
men and women that the world of medi
cine affords. The best test that can be
applied to Paine's Celery Compound is to
use il.

Caution (!

This is not a gentle word-but when
you think how liable you are not to pur-
chase for 75c the only remedy universally
known and a remedy that has had the
largest sale of any medicine In the world
since 1868 for the cure and treatment Of
Consumption and Throat and Lung trou-
bles without losing its great popularity all
these years, you will be thankful we call
ed your attention to Boschee's German
Syrup. There are so many ordinary
cough remedies made by druggists and
others that are cheap and good for light
colds perhaps, but for severe Coughs,
Bronchitis, Croup--and especially for Con-
sumption. where there is difficult expec-
toration and coughing during the nights
and mornings. there is nothing like Ger
man Syrup. Sold by all druggists In the
civilized world.

Country VS.. City Paper.

The Denver News is running a series of
cartoons which are supposed to burlesque
the local feature of the country weeklies
To say that the effort is In extremely bad
idiotic. AS purveyor of the news of the
world the metropolitan daily occupies a
field of Its own, which is recognized in
every city. town and hamlet. But there,
in point of news ervice. it's usefulness
ends. In handling local subjects the coun-
try weekly is far ahead of the best big
daily. Suppose the Crossroads Harrow
does say Mrs. Jones' red heifer had a
calf yesterday morning. That bit of
news is much more important than to
publish a double-column halftone of the
lingerie prepared for the expected birth.
some five or six months in the future, of
a little aristocrat at the Capitol Hill home
of Mrs. Percival Algernon Joyness. If the
neighbors give good old mother Brown a
surprise" party, that event contains
more of the milk of human kindness in
a moment than dozen undress society
functions which the metropolitan sheet
takes columns to describe. The country
weekly is a reflex of nature-pure, strong
and uncontaminated. The big daily, so
far as local features are concerned, is
foetid mess of scandal, pictured by illus
trations of bare busts and indecent ex-
posure which would set fire to the hell box
in the country office The country week
llies are the check, the safeguards of the
people, against the ever-increasing un-
scrupulousness of the city sheet. May
their power never grow less.-Aspen
