Terrible fortunes and Death
Result from Acute and
Chronic Rheumatism
When Neglected
in Spring.
PAINE'S
Celery Compound
THE GREAT VANQUIsHER OF ALL
FORMS OF RHEUMATISM.
The Marvellous Cure of Mrs. Cook of
Gardner, Kan.

Rheumatism, terrible in it's acute
and long enduring in it's chronic form
is one of the most baneful diseases
that human beings suffer from. 1t is a
disease that will not bear neglect, for
if not treated promptly will remain till
death to harass, torture and make life
| miserable.
rheumatism is also a constitutional
| disorder and hereditary. Because of an
inactive condition of the kidneys and
bowels the blood is not purified, and
an acrid poison is formed and deposit
ed in the muscles and joints, and this
| causes the Inflammation and intense
agonieS that thousands are obliged to
endure. Too often the effects of rheu-
! matism are fatal, especially when the
dread disease affects the heart; then
death is sudden. Many other serious
complications result from this terrible
disease, such as pneumonia, pleurisy,
meningitis, and diaphragmitis, and
these often prove rapidly fatal.
Racked and tortured reader what
are you doing to get rid of your dam
ger? Physicians candidly admit their
inability to cure. The ordinary medi-
cines of the day may give you relief
for few hours or days; they cannot
Danish the disease from your blood,
joints and muscles; they cannot take
the SWell1ngS from your knees, elbows,
or wrists, or make supple the stiffened
and twisted limbs You cannot longer
| afford to experiment; death is the sure
result of experiment and neglect
To-day, your only hope lies in the
| immediate use of DR.. Phelps wonder
full rheumatism banisher-Paine's Cell
cry Compound. This tested and world
famed vanquisher of rheumatism, neu-
ralgia and other troubles that arise
from impure and poisoned blood, is
now fully recognized by the medical
| profession as a positive and unfailing
cure. The following important letter
sent by Mrs. Cook, is but one of the
many thousands received from promi-
nent and well known people in every
state of the union, who have been
cured by Paine's Celery Compound.
Mrs. Cook says:
Il was sorely afflicted with rheuma-
| tism some time ago, so much so that
l was unable to go about the house; l
| had to be carried. tride all kinds of
medicines and liniments to no effect
For months 1 was helpless, unable to
turn myself in bed, and suffering with
pain which. was almost uncomfortable.
Finally, by chance, 1 noticed an adj
vertisement of Paine's Celery Com
pound and concluded to try it After
using one bottle it seemed to- be help
ing me, and continued to use it until
| / had no more rheumatic pains Since
| then I have been able to do my~house-
work, and have been free from rheu-
| natism."

Origin of Abainth.

Absinth, the green iiend that satu-
rates fashionable France, was original
ly an extremely harmless medical
remedy.
1t was French physician who first
used 1t. His name was Ordinalre, and
he was living as a refugee at Couvet,
In Switzerland, at the close of the
eighteenth century. Like many other
country doctors ut that time, he was
also druggist, and his favorlte RENE
dy was certain elixir of absinth Of
which he alone had the secret.
At his death he bequeated the for
mula to his housekeoper, Mile. Grand
pierre, and she sold It to the daughters
of Lieutenant Henriod. They cultl-
waited In their little garden the herbs
necessary for concocting 1t, and after
they had distilled certain quantity Of
the liquid they sold 1t on commission
to tinerant peddlers, who quickly dis
posed of 1t In the adjacent towns and
villages.
Finally, during the first decade of the
nineteenth century, wealthy distiller
purchased the formula, and very soon
nfterward he placed on the market the
modern absinth, which differs greatly
from the old medical remedy, since the
latter contained no alcohol and very
little abslnth.
