fearful ills that result from an impaired
nervous system and impure blood which
has endeared the great doctor TO the world,
and made his life an era in the practice OF
medicine.
Prof Phelps, was born in Connecticut
and graduated in medicine at Yale.
His unusual talent soon brought him
reputation and prominence among profess
sional brethren. First he was elected to the
professorship OF anatomy and surgery in
the Vermont University. Next he was app
pointed lecturer OF materia medica and
medical botany in Dartmouth College.
The next year he was chosen professor OF
the chair then vacated by Prof. Robby,and
occupied the chair, the most important
one in the country, at the time when he
first formulated his most remarkable pre-
scription.
In view OF the overwhelming testimony
to the value OF Paines Celery compound
