PAINE'S CELERY
 COMPOUND ExpeIs All Winter Impurities and Poisons from the Blood and Builds up the entire
 System.
IN AsTonlsnIne PROOF OF Dloep sLEAnsIna Anp aEsTo. aanom To; COMPLETE aEALTn.

True health can only be maintained by keeping tho body frec of acid and smggisll blood and morhid waste matters. The blood that Is pumped through the heart to all parts of the body. carries nourish- ment and health. or poison and the seeds of death.
 Close confinement in badly ventilated offices, stores, and workshops during the winter months, has lowered the vitality of tens of thousands. Poisons and impuri- ties have been implanted in the blood: these agents of death must be expelled if health would be maintained during the coming summer.
 The month of May should be renova- ting and building-up time with the vast army of weak. debilitated. and broken down men, women. and young people.
 If the work of purifying and vitalizing the blood be longer deferred, eruptions, blotches, sores, eczema, scrofula, erysip- elas, and other dangers, are sure to be your portion.
 Paina's Celery Compound meets suc- cessfully at this season all unhealthy con ditions of the blood. It is the only medi- cine that can guarantee perfect purifica- ton of the vital fluid; that can give true nutriment to the nerves and tissues: that can bestow new life. yigor, and strength for the enjoyment of summer and the prosecution of lifes duties. Mir. George Schmidt, 20 West Third St. Cincinnati, Ohio. briefly and forcibly writes regarding his rescue from a slow but sure death; he says:--
 Since infancy I have been bothered with impure blood and nervousness. tried almost all known remedies and went to many physicians, but nothing seemed to do me any good until druggist rec commended Paine's Celery Compound. used this great medicine. and before had finished two bottles. I found relief am now using my sixth bottle and never felt better in my life. My nervousness is all gone and my skin clearer than ever 1t was.''
