Paine's Celery
Compound
Defeats the work OF Death by
Removing Your Terrible
Burden of Disease,

Are you still suffering misery and
Idespoudeney? Does the grim spec
| ire Defsth follow you closely as the
! Joyous aprihgtime brings happiness
and bIes sings to others arSund you?
Are you still clinging teisaciousIy
to false theories of physicians or
/ friends whes persist in assuring you
that time, care, and the use of your
present medicine will give you new
health?
Be assured your present condition
is perilous one The continaance
of the medicine you are now using
IL a folly. You are simply trifing
with life and wasting precious time.
You should remember that while
nature clothes the fields with fresh
grass and flowers, and while the
trees with a strong life are showing
bursting buds and new foliage, that
human beings--eld and yOung-drfrp
off liz thousands i'm springtime.
Now is the time for prompt, deciNs
ed and practical action If life Is to-
be saved. Prejudice and the erro-
neous theories of even the medical
men should be cast aside when the.
hand of death is upon you. 1t mat
ters not what Your social position
may be; the medicine that saves the
humAlest man or woman Is surely
the ONE adapted fog the needs of the
rich and those of high social posi-
tons
Paine's Celery Compound has a
record for life saving that no other
medicine can ever snaRal. 1t has res
rich and poor from the grasp Of
death when physicians and their
most carefully prepared prescrip-
tons failed i'm the wSrh. III the suf
fering men and women of today
could but see the happy faces and
hear the kind words spoken by the
tens of thousands who have been
made well and strong by Paine's
Celery Compound, it would soon
dispel their doubts, and fears.
Pains's Celery Compound is the
only medicine that reaches the root
of disease. 1t is the only agency
that can remove year terrible load
of disease. Unsolicited testlmo-
malls pour in every day. Young
and old constantly bear witness that
rheumatism, neuralgia, kidney dis
ease, liver complaint, dyspepsia and
blood diseases ara banished perma-

STRUCK DOWN A SENATOR.
Incident Recalled Of South Carolina S
 Assault on Charles Sumner.

It is almost forty-five years ago that another South Caroli- nan, Preston Smith Brooks, fig ured as an assailant in the United States senate chamber. Brooks, then a member of con- gross, was born in Edgefeld county, the same county where Senator Tillman first saw the light of day. It was he who as saulted Charles Sumner of Mass achusetts with a cane. The en- tire north was aroused.
 Senator Sumner had delivered a speech entitled ''The Crime Against Kansas" which, Le- cause of certain expressions, had incensed the members from South Carolina. After the sen- ate had adjourned, May P, 1856, Brooks entered the chamber and approached MT. Sumner from behind while the senator was seated at his desk and struck him repeatedly on the head with cane till MT. Sumner fell in sensible on the floor. Several southerners, among them Mr. Barksdale of Mississippi, stood near with drawn revOlvers and prevented any interference. One of the committees of the house subsequently, reported resOlu- tion favoring the expulsion of Brooks, but the final vote was 121 ayes and 95 noes. AS this was less than two-thirdS, Brooks was not expelled.
 At a later day, during house debate, Brooks had an angry colloquy with Representative Anson Burlingame of of Massa- chusetts and Brooks was chal- lenged by Burlingame tO duel. It was accepted, the duel to be fought with rifles in Canada. Brooks, however, failed to ap- pear for the combat, on the plea that he would have "tO pass through the enemy's country" " He resigned his seat and was unanimously reelected. The south generally upheld him and gave him presents of many cost ly canes and other testimonials. He died in Washington January P, 1857, less than year after the assault on Sumner. Wash ington Post.
