Ten Years Of Blessed Work

Pai11e's Celery
Compound
Has Brought Health and New
Life to the Sick and Dis
eased in Every Part
of the Civilized
World.

For the last ten years the work OF
Paine's Celery Compound has been q
blessed and cheering one to men and wo-
men OF every rank IN society. In no one
case has the great medicine failed to ben
eft. and where it has been used promptly
it has in every case brought a cure.
The blessed results that spring from
the use OF Paine,s Celery Compound arc
not confined to this land of ours. The
great life giving medicine has been sent
to every quarter of the civilized world
and has cured the sick, restored the weak
and depressed to health and strength
and caused tens of thousands to live who
failed to find health in worthless rrescrip-
tons, sarsaparillas. nervtnes and pills
Paine's Celery Compound has cured when
all other remedies failed.
It is to this best Of all medicines
Paine's Celery Compound, that we would
direct the attention of every man and
woman suffering from weakness. general
debility. rheumatism, neuralgia, heart
trouble. dyspepsia. anemia. blood dis
eases. liver complaint and kidney trou-

poured In. testifyinG to wonderful and

It is foolish and criminal to delay the
use of such a disease banisher. when

value: when many of your friends and
neighbors have been made well by its
use The health giving virtues are SO
eminently great that the ah1est phvsi-

Sketch Of His Lie.

Mr. Rouss was born at Woodsboro'.
Frederick county, Md. in 1856. His father
was Mr.. Peter H Rouss and his mother
was a Miss Baltzell, a member Of the
we'll known family of that name In Fred
erick county. In lS41 Mr.. Peter 81. Rouss
pur chased the beautiful estate Runny-
mede,'' in Berkeley county, midway be-
tween Martinsburg and Winchester, and
removed to Virginia. In 1916 Charles
Rorss entered the Winchester "A academy.
well-known institution of learning,
where he spent several years, learning
rapidly and generally leading his classes.
But he did not aspire to q profession, pre-
erring a mercantile life, and at the age
of fourteen years he entered the large
general store Of Mr.. Jacob Senseny, in
Winchester. then the most successful
merchant in that city. IIe commenced on
a salary of one dollar q week and board,
which was Increased from time to time.
and at the end Of four years, or at the
age of Is, he had saved five hundred
dollars
THE SUN "A FACTOR.
Mr. Rcuss then determined in 1854 to
begin business on his own hook and Wis
tied Baltimore for the purpose of plr-
chasing stock. He relates with pride
how he visited The Sun Office, saw Mr..
a. S. Abel, the founder of the paper, in
formed him &c his purpose L. revolil-
tionize business in the stdid old town Of
Winchester and asked advice as to the
wording of his first adv ertisement to
the purchasing Iublic. He says NJ
AEell referred him TO bright young;
man. who wrote an advertisement which
contained the sentence: We shall keep
everything calculated to make man
fashionable, a. lady irresistible and
family comfortable This advertise
ment appeared in big black lines in the
Winchester papers, and it was scattered
all over the lower Shenandoah Valley by
handbills. Mr.. Rouss' success as NOR
chant was instantaneous, and when the
war broke out he was holding a leading
place among the merchants Of WincheS-
ter. His motto was Quick sales and
small profit The first year of the
war he endeared himself to the people
/of the lower valley by securing several
thousand sacks of salt. which he sold
at a very small advance. thus greatly
relieving the needs of the people, as that
prime article of necessity was being badly
cornered.
IN THE CONFEDERATE ARMY.
Before the occupation of Winchester
by the Federal army, in 1852, Mr.. Rouss
removed his stock to Richmond, quickly
disposed of it, and entered the Confed-
crate army as a private in Company B.
