in their experience, accomplished more
than all others In curing disease was
Paine's Celery Compound; and about SO
cases in all were mentioned where promi-
nent citizens or members of their fami-
lies had been, cured within a short time
by this remedy, of serious ailments result
Ing from impaired nerves. Among these
was the chief Of police OF that city, whose
office was in the same building with the
mayor.
The publication of many of these ex-
amples Of what Paine's Celery Compound
had done for Others naturally led those
who were sick-and in every community
| there are thousands of people who, hay
put on the cure in the vain hope that the
nerves will resuscitate themselves-hun
dreds Of those who were sick were thus
informed OF the one true remedy for their
relief.
Unsought and unexpected letters be-
gan to pour into Burlington from people
in Omaha, telling OF their experiences.
Some Of these letters We're published by
permission of the writer's.
They all told in different ways the
same story-of new strength and vitality,
sound sleep, better appetite, and the re-
turning health.
No other remedy in the world ever so
clearly proved all that was claimed for

The phone proper was an oblong.

close to the wall. Just as does its COM

merely a hole i'll the box, with some

ont prying eyes Inside this box was
the oXer-present jar of sal-ammonlac
forming the local battery, which, in
the case of the old-style phone, was
both the local and general battery.
Phones seemed to follow out the idea
of doubling in offices as we'll as the
railroads.
Queerest of the queer however. was
the manner in which the signals or
calls were made The central office,

apparatus were then probably un-
known. even in the east, and such
thing was not dreamed of in Arkansas
at the advent Of the first telephone.
Above the hole which passed for a
receiver and transmitter as we'll. was
a round knob. about the size of an
egg 1t protruded from the surface
of the box ana worked on springs,
much like the modern electric door
bell To "cal UP" the other end OF
the li0Q the fist was transformed into
a miniature battery and the knob
pounded With might and main until
the answering "Hell0' came skipping
over the wires Each pound brought
forth a single ring at the other end,
While the bell n which the beating
wa, done kept quiet. The vibrating

Carrying on a conversation over

their car. and mouths al the hole IN

interesting than that OF the shoft-dls-

the feat of talking for more than
hundred miles. between Pine Bluff and

height of perfection was reached III

brought the telephone TO its present
stage Of development.
