%talists. clergymen, lawyers, physicians and
Legislators owe their lives and present good
health to the curing virtues Of Paine's Cell
cry Compound. 20,
No other medicine in the world today has
been so much talked Of, so highly recon-
mended by medical men, so generally en-
dorsed by our best people as Paine's Celery
Compound. 1t truly deserves all the good
words spoken In its favor,
May is the great month for recuperating
and building up the weakened and diseased

The Limerick Census.

The census Of the county ana city
of Limerick, just issued, shows that
the city, like so many other Munster
towns, has more thin held it's own dur
ing the decade. In 1891 its population
was 31,155, while in 1901 ii was 3S,-
151, the increase being within four
Of q thousand, on 81 per cent. This,
however, is the only increase in the
county. The decrease in inc rural dis
tricts has been very large, ranging
from per cent in Listowel to 1873 per
cent in Groom. The t tai population
of the county was only 14G,O9S, rs com
pared with 1892 in 1891, on a rcduc-
ton of 81 per cent. On the other
hand, the number Of adults who could
read and write had increased during
the decade from $50 per C mt to 1872
per cent, and the illiterates had de-
creased from 24.4 per cent to 200 per
cent. The religious statistics OF tile
county and city show that Catholic,
occupy the same position as in 1891.
They were then $40 per cent of the
total population, and they are still in
that position. In 1891 Protestant Epis-
copalians We're 40 per cent, but they

17O45. Altogether, except in the case
of Limerick City itself, the returns
show decay and retrngrcssion.
