quick to appreciate superior style,
good value and sterling worth.
Their phenomenal purchase of

years is ample proof of their good
judgment.
SINCE THE INTRODUCE

The human system In old age must

gy, and rich, nourishing blood, so that
the liver and kidneys may be Kept In
perfect action, and the body free from

true invigorator when old age creeps on
and the vital powers commence to fail.
Paine's Celery Compound gives the
needed stimulus to digestion and as

maintains a regular. supply of pure
blood, and removes such troubles as
rheumatism, neuralgia, nervous weak
ness, heart palpitation, liver complaint
and digestive disturbances, that make
the lives of old people miserable. Rev.

five big silver dollars We're counted into

Douglas Lane, basso. They sang THE

through his clever representations and
ventriloquism, and appeared to have
added new features to his act.
