Permanently Cures Sick and
Nervous Headaches that
Make Life Miserable.

Sick and nervous headaches are
amongst the worst ills of life. The
man or woman who is subject to
headache at irregular intervals,
goes through life bearing a load OF
misery and wretcheddess that is
terrible to think of.
Headaches as a rule result from a
disordered condition of the nervous
system. Mental excitement, loss OF
sleep, bodily fatigue, and disorder
ed digestion are exciting causes.
When the brain becomes tired and
dibilitatod the whole nervous sys-
tenn is weakened and headaches re-
suit. IL the liver is sluggish the
kidneys inactive, and digestion de-
ranged, headaches invariably fol-
low. 10 cure and present headache
the nervous system must be strength
enel and vitalized. The most per-
sistnnt cases of headache, nervous
frebleness, and sleeplessness, are
permanently cured by Paine's Gel
cry Compound; it is tho great re-
constructant Of the nervous system.
Mrs. Henry Westrick, st. Clair,
Mich, tells of her release from
suffering as follows
II have been troubled with dys-
persia and sick headache for a
number Of years. About every week
l would nave bad spell OF sick
headache but since I began using

pepsia is gone, and l do not have

W HY DIS
CRlMINA7E,

Just at the present time il may
not be out of the way to ask why
should telephone company dis.
crimiEate IL terms to subscribers.
A customer whopays BY the quarter
is entitled to as much consideration
as the man who signs L contract for
five years.
The Board Of Trade very wisely
has taken up the matter as the
Delaware and Atlantic Telephone
Company proposes to increase its
rates. Manager Mehaffy says:
The reduction in rebate affects a
comparatively small number of our
1900 stations. None Of our measur.
ed service subscribers are affected.
Nearly all Of those affected have
had the matter explained by me,
and with very few exceptions. have
understood that the reduction in
rebate was warranted by the con-
ditions.
AS to Mr.. Muici's lear that
another reduction in rebate might
be made year from now, | can
only say, as l have already stated
to Mr.. Mullen, that any subscribe
may enter inlo three or FIVE years
contract. thereby guaranteeing no
further reduction in rebate.
The Delmarvia company is giving
entire satisfaction aud its rates ara
reason able. The people are pleas
ed with its service and no effort is
made to force The customer to pay
exorbant rates. The poor man
comes in for his share as we'll as
the man who signs for five years.
Taking into consideration the privi.
leges given TO the Delaware and
Atlantic Company It should be
made to feel the protest Of the
