arches and appropriate designs,
they were given welcome so hear

only city in the bunch. And as

at the corner of Chestnut and Gen.
tral, where they passed under the
critical eyes of Judges Vickers, Null
ligan, O'Rourke, Taylor and Gallup,
who awarded the 500 prize for the
best appearing department to our
Vermillion neighbors, there were
none to object.

PAINE'S CELERY
COMPOUND
Permanently Cures All the Va.
ried Forms of Rhema-
tiSm.
1t Purifies the Blood and Re-
moves Every Trace OF
Poisonous Acid.
The Great Medicine Has Cured
More Rheumatic Sufferers
Than All Other Com
bined Remedies.

Sufferers from the varied forms Of
rheuma matism-articular, muscular, in
fiammatory, lumbago, and gout, should
bear in mind that there is a morbid
principle in the blood when rheumatism
is present. This morbid principle is
uric acid, which circu1ates with the
blood and acts upon the joints and
muscles, causing the pains and agonies
of rheumatism. Paines Celery Com
pound is the only scientific remedy for
the permanent banishment of every
form of rheumatism. If your joints are
painful; if the knees, wrists, elbows, or
ankles are swollen, a few bottles of
Paines Celery Compound will soon re-
move all your troubles and pains. If
you have infiammatory or sciatic rheu-
matism accompanied with fever, acute,
darting pains in the sciatic nerve from
the hip down the leg, Paines Celery
Compound taken at once will soon drive
out the disease and make you strong
and active.
At this particular time when rheu-
matism frequently lays the foundation
for other incurable and grave troubles,
we especially urge the honest use of at
least one bottle of DIR. Phelps life Civ
ing medicine, Paine's Celery Compound.
No case is too complicated or difficult
for this king of medicines. Thousands
of happy and grateful men and women
sing its praises and continually recon-
mend it. 1t is the only medicine that
can rescue people from agony and
death after physicians pronounce them
incurable. Mrs. Louisa Rix, Wesley,
Iowa, says
Some time ago my husband was ta-
ken down with infiammatory rheuma
tism. so that he was unable to get out
of bed alone or to dress himself. We
employed good doctors and used many
kinds of medicine, but with no relief
We finally sent for a bottle of Paines
Celery Compound, and before he had
finished ii, he was able to be at work
Another bottle entirely cured him.

wound in my left leg" says A. S. Full
Ter, English. Ind. ut would not heal
