Sickness, disease. and suffering respect
neither ruler nor subject. The noted and
high born have their trials and physical
sufferings like those in humber stations.
Social standing and wealth cannot bar
the progress of disease when the common
rules of health are violated.
Impure blood and weak nerves are re-
sponsible for many of the common dis
eases of life. The experienced physician
will tell you that men and women with
pure, clear coursing blood and well braced
nerves can never become victims of rheu-
ma tism, neuralgia, liver troubles. debility,
headaches, or sleep1essness.
It follows, therefore. that sufferers from
any of the ailments referred to should
at once take proper measures to cleanse
the blood and feed the weak nervous sys-
tenn with proper nourishment.
For the happy accomplishment Of this
important work, Paine's Celery Com
pound is the only safe agent the one
great specific, the only security against
deadly disease and death. During these
spring days Paine's Celery Compound
guarantees a perfect regularity of the
bowels. healthy appetite. sound sleep.
good digestion. pure blood, strong nerves.
and clear brain. all of which mean full
and robust health
