TEXAS CORN

The General OutlooI&A This Year Is
u. Gloomy. <
Special to The Journal. III
Dallas, Texas, June 1S-Up to midnight
rains had been reported from only small
portion of northeast Texas, where the corn
and cotton crops said to have been IN
better condition than in any other portion
OF the state. Outside of this limit the out
look for any corn crop in Texas this year
is gloomy. The protracted drought, aided
by scorching breezes, has made the destruc-
ton almost complete. Cotton is said to be
in fair condition in north Texas and rains
within the near future will save that crop

A Vermont Lady'S Desperate
Fight for Life.
Mrs. Nathan BeaI Says:
Paine's Celery
Compound
Saved Me from the Insane
Hospital as Well as Cured
NV Rheumatism.

There never was a remedy so highly
recommended as Paine's Celery Com
mound. There never was remedy IN
such universal demand. 1t is popular
and priced in tens of thousands OF
homes. because it makes sick people
we'll.
Paine's Celery Compound has saved
thousands from nervous prostratlon
and collapse: it has effected wonder
full cures in kidney and liver com
plants: its victories over rheumatism
and neuralgia have commanded the at
tention and admiration OF our pest
physicians. 1t has cured disease when
everything else has failed.
Mrs. Nathan Beals, a well known
lady of Gallup's Mills, VT, writes as
follows For ten months before l
commenced taking Paine's Celery
Compound, could not put my foot on
the first round of my chair, only tlve
inches from the floor. had nearly lost
the use of my left side, and could not
lift a pound weight with the left hand
without danger of dropping, it. Many
times | would lift something at the
table, only to drop it. L had a pres
sure in the top of my head and a pam
at the base of the brain, which would
leave me so nervous that | used to tell
my husband | would surely go crazy.
could not keep still at night, and Sun,
days were just awful to me. l found
nv whole system Frustrated, and 1t
took long time to build up my poor,
wornout nerves. | think that Paine's
Celery Compound saved me from the
Insane Hospital, as we'll as cured my
rheumatism. "
