A Prominent Business Man Saved from

1t is by true merit, and true merit
alone, that Paine's Celery Compound
has won its wondrous popularity in
every part of the civilized world.
When all other medicines fail, when
the best directed efforts of physicians
accomplish but little for the banishing
of desperate diseases. Paine's Celery
Compound saves life and restores
| health.
1t is natural. therefore, that men and
women saved from the perils and dan
gers of nervous diseases, rheumatism
neuralgia. and blood troubles. should
acquaint their friends-the sick and
! well-of what was accomplished for
them by Paine's Celery Compound. In
this way the glad tidings of prompt
and effectual cures have been spread
from day to day to the remotest towns
and villages, and the blessed work OF
| life saving progresses in every direc-
ton.
One of the most remarkable cures Of
recent years effected by Paineis Celery
Compound. is the case of Mr.. Wyan
Nelson. President of the Nelson Grain
Co, of Kansas City. Mo. With intense
gratitude and thankfulness, Mr.. Nelson
writes as follows:
Il was nervous, Respondent, irritable.
had no appetite. could not sleep, and
had night sweats. My physicians said
was threatened with nervous prostra-
ton, and advised a rest from business.
