MELANCH0LIA
Is PerilOuS Disease and One That
Leads to Insanity.
Paine'S
Celery Compound
Has Saved Thousands of Mel
anchOIiStS from the Grave.

Melancholia is a grave disease; IL
has a tendency to induce suicide and
homicide; in many cases it leads to
dread insanity. The first important
symptom of ordinary melancholia is
sleeplessness. Another symptom OF
the greatest importance is dull pain
in the back of the neck, extending to
the back of the head. Then we see
other symptoms, such as depression
of spirits, slow mental and muscular
movements, retarded speech, terrifying
Authorizations. aversion to food and d
disregard of life. Every case of mel
ancholia is directly traceable to a
weakness or collapse of the nervous
system. The nerve branches of the
sympathetic system, the spinal column
and brain, are not doing their work,
and the blood is thin, sluggish or inn
pure.
Paine's Celery Compound is the
great rescuer and life builder for ev-
cry melancholic victim. AS nerve
ly imparts nourishment and life to the
weak and famished nerves, after which
comes a new vitality-a feeling that
life is precious and worth living. The
stomach. liver, and kidneys are toned,
digestion becomes perfect, a natural
appetite is bestowed, and sweet, re-
freshing sleep conduces to a vigorous
health. Paine's Celery Compound
has saved more melancholic and ner-
vous sufferers than all other combin-
ed agencies. Do not treat the symp-
toms of melancholia with indifference.
Begin to-day with Paine's Celery Com
pound and avoid the perils that drag
to insanity and the grave.

LIVINGSTON'S
PHARMACY COMPANY

1t has been proven to me be-
yond the possibility of a doubt
that a new medicine quickly
clears up the worst skin affec-
tions. Its work seems astonish-
ing, amazing, almost miraculous.
Ut is a specific formula which,
because of its discovery by DR..
Decatur Dennis, is known as ID.
D. d. Its actual record sounds
like story of magic. But there
is no room for doubt about it
whatever; full proofs, indisput-
able in every respect, have been
submitted regarding hundreds of
cases-among them the two cases
illustrated in this announcement.
The one case shown here of the
adult (Mr. Charles Jacobs, psor-
iasis of many years standing)
was cured in As days. The other
case of the boy { Sammy Minkey)
was cured in three weeks. The
results are not only complete, but
permanent; in the case of Mr..
Jacobs, which was one of the
earliest cured after the discovery
of this medicament, it is now
nearly three years since the dis
ease was cleared out of the skin,
and no faint of it has appeared
since.
