True merit. prompt and effective results.

Paine's Celery Compound is today the

bought by thoughtful and discerning peo-
pie. For the treatment OF serious dis
eases, such as rheumatism, neuralgia,
nervous disorders, and blood troubles,
Paine's Celery Compound has no equal.
The credit of Paine's Celery Com
pound has advanced TO such high emil
nence that amongst the millions who use
IL. we find the names of millionaires,
bankers, professional men, wealthy mer-
chants, and women OF note. All have
made IL their chosen remedy for the cure
of chronic diseases and for the banish-
ment OF the little ailments that often
make life miserable
Paine's Celery Compound, In the opinion
OF the leading druggists and physicians,
has displaced nearly all the common adj
vertised medicines OF the day. This great
work has been accomplished only by merit
and genuine cures. Rheumatism, ncu-
ralgia, and nervous disorders, take fight
in springtime when aine's Celery Com
pound is used for time. Why delay the
work of health building when such a
life given is within your reach? Test
its Efficacy this very day.

BALTIMORE, April 1.-THE Gould
movement to obtain possession of the

~heck today.
The net result of the meeting today
was the decision to have copies of the
mayors ordinance furnished to each of
the bidders with blanks for the names of
the successful bidders and the amount to
be paid tor the road.
Each bidder is requesteu to make Il
prompt reply to the committee as to the
acceptance of the conditions imposed in
the ordinance. This decision and another

noon WAS carried by a vote of to g.
Tonight the friends OF the Fuller syndf-
cate endeavored to bring the mayors ord
nance before the council but both
branches refused to entertain it and they
finally ordered the respective commit
tees 10 submit all the bids of all the
syndioates 10 the council together with
a report of what had been done.
The road is no nearer being sold than
at any time since the bids we're asked and
the Pennsylvania Railroad is in apparent
control of the situation.
