Paine's Celery
Compound
Permanently Cures Sick and Nervous
Headaches That Make
Life Miserable.

Sick and nervous headaches are
amongs the worst ills of life. The
man or woman who is subject to head
aches at irregular intervals, goes
through life bearing IA load of misery
and wretchedness that is terrible to
think of.
Headaches as a rule, result from a
disordered condition of the nervous sys-
tenn. Mental excitement loss of sleep,
bodily fatigue. and disordered dlges-
ton are exciting causes When the
brain becomes tired and debilitated,
the whole nervous system is weakened,
and headaches result If the liver is
sluggish. the kidneys inactive, and d.
gestion deranged. headaches invariably
follow. To cure and prevent headache,
the nervous system must be strength
ened and vitalized The most persls-
tent cases of headache, nervous feeble
ness, and sleeplessness, are permanent
" cured by Paine's Celery Compound;
it is the great reconstructant of the
nervous system. Mrs. Henry Westrick,
St Clair, Mich, tells of her release
from suffering as follows:
Il have been troubled with dyspep-
STA and sick headaches for number of
wears. About every week | would have
bad spell of sick headache, but since
| began using Paine's Celery Com
pound. my dyspepsia is gone, and do
not have any more headaches. l feel
better than | have for years.

NIal.eable Glass.

Neri, whose book on glass was pub
lished at Florence in 1912, says, In
the time of Tiberius was invented a
way of making glass malleable, a thing
afterward lost and to this day wholly
unknown, for if such thing were now
known without a doubt ii would be
more esteemed for its beauty and incor-
ruptibilitv than silver or gold, since
from glass there ariseth neither smell
nor taste nor any other quality" But
though unknown TO the old Italian, the
art was practiced in Persia, if we may
believe Bailey, who says that in 1910
Sophi, emperor of Persia. sent to King
Philip III of Spain six glasses that were
malleable and would not break by be-
ing hammered, and Blacout tells that
an inventor, having presented bust of
malleable glass to Richelieu, 1920, was
for his ingenuity by perpetual
lest the vested interests
of French glass workers should be in
jured by the new invention.
