organ Is predisposed to degeneration.
Paine's Celery Compound renders
vigorous old age possible. 1t keeps the
nervous system In a normal condition
of health; II keeps the digestive or.
gaus in perfect condition. 1t keeps the
liver and kidneys active and In per.

1t aids Digestion II makes rich, pure
blood and gives strength and health
