of the public. Paine's Celery Compound
is not in any way a patent medicine
1t is SO superior to all the so-called
remedies. that no serious comparison
can be made between them.
The formula of Paine's Celery Com
pound has been freely furnished from
the first TO reputable physicians any
where. and the thousands of authenti-
Gated cases that are reported yearly
by physicians of every school have
proved beyond question that in every
case of dyspepsia, biliousness, liver
complaint. neuralgia. rheumatism, or
other diseases. that imply impaired
nerves, Paine's Celery Compound in
variably gives lasting relief.
1t succeeds again and again in com
pletely curing diseases where every
thing else has failed. 1t is the only pre-
pared remedy in the world that IS
openly and publicly Endorsed by medi-
cal journals. A single trial of Paine's
Celery Compound will convince any
one that it accomplishes in every case
all that ii is claimed to do.

Ponca City. 0. T.. Nov. 2s.-The foot
ball game between the Chnocco Indian
school team and tie Ponca City High
school team was one Of the best and NEST
interesting ever Witnessed in the city.
The weather was fne-a little too cool for
the comfort of the spectators. but just
right for the players. The field was called
promptly at half-past two o'clock and
befors that time large crowd had gath
cred on the grounds. As the game pro-
gressed the crowd increased. and there
was no lack of enthusiasm or noisy de-
uonstration. The Ponca boys made the
first kick off and the Indians got the
bali and made the first touchdown of the
game in few minutes after the opening.
Almost from the first the tide of battle
turned in favor of the Fonca boys. and
though the Indians fought nobly and
made some fine plays which were heartily
cheered, it was easy to see that they were
unable TO resist the superior wori, of the
High school team. II was a great game,
and the victory was well earned. The
score stood: Ponca, %; Chlocco, ;.
