Paine's Celery
Compound
Permanently Cures Sick and
Nervous Headaches that
Make Life Miserable.

Sick and nervous headaches arc amonea
the worst ills OF life. The man or woman who
Is subject to headache at Irregular intervals,
goes through lie bearing load OF misery
and wreichedncss that Is terrible to think
Of.
Headaches as a rule, result from n dis
ordered condition Of the nervous system,
Mental excitement, loss OF sleep, bodily
fatigue. and disordcred digestion are exciting
causes. When the brain becomes tired and
debihtated, the whole nervous system is weak
ened, and headaches result. II the liver Is
sluggish, the kidneys inactive, and digestion
dcranged, headaches invariably follow. To
cure and prevent headache, the nervous sys-
tenn must be strengthened and yiialired.
The most persistent cases OF headache, nervous
fecblencss, and sleeplessness. are permanently
cured by paine's Celery Compound; Il Is the
great recons:ructant of the nervous system.
Mrs. Henry Westrick, St. Clair, Mich, tells
OF her release from suffering as follows,---
have been troubled with dyspepsia anc
sick headache for a number OF years. Abou,
every week would have a bad spell Of sick
headache. but since began using Painc's
Celery Compound, my dyspepsia IS gone. and

~ fG. beautiful. brave and wise.
the Wild turkey Is ideal game
for the United States. He Is
big enough to satisfy some OF
the material craving OF even the big
game hunter He eludes the still hunt
or as subtly as the shiest deer. He
gives the cross country rider, courslng
him with hound and horse, n run that
often Is equal TO fox hunting. The
wing shot finds him equal to the occa-
sion. He is the finest game bird I'm the

Client big game world of Europe when

Hunting the wild bird with hound
and horse is sport for the very select
few, for not only is Il necessary TO IND
the birds hrst, but they must be found
IN open country where they cannot es.
cape too readily by flying into cover.
Therefore. coursing Is limited TO open
country where the turkey. not having
been hunted too fervently, Is incau-
tious enough 20 feed I'm farm lands and

In 10 cut of the retreat TO the woods.
and then tho mounted men break out
OF their hiding places and pound down
on them.
The Wild turkey flies and runs alter.
nately. He lopes like an ostrich. though
not so fast. and whenever he thus takes
TO running tho dogs and horses gain on
him. When they get unpleasantly close,
up booms the big bird and flies like a
feathered proJectile straight ahead un-
I'll he has reached n safe distance.
