Rescued from Suffering
and Death by
PAINE'S
Celery Compound
THE GREAT rlEDICINE.
THE GREAT rlEDICINE.
MR.. ALFRED BROWN,
A Prominent and Popular Citizen, Says:
~After the Use of Paine's Celery COMPOUND
Am Now In the Best of Health"

The greatest of modern physicians, PM
Edward E. Phelps, NJ. D., Ii. D., after YEAR
of long practice and close scientific study paw
to suffering and diseased men and women hi,
marvellous, life giving prescription, with the
conviction and positive knowledge that it had
peculiar virtues and ample powers to cure.
Thousands of the strongest testimonials from
the best known and most reliable men and
women of our country fully sustain the claims
made by DR.. Phelps regarding his incompat.
able Paine's Celery Compound.
One of the most convincing proofs furnished
comes recently from a gentleman widely
known in the capital city of the Dominion d
Canada. We refer to Mr.. Alfred Brown, OF
O'Connor ST., Ottawa, Ont. Mr.. Brown,
letter fully demonstrates the fact that tn.
greatest sufferer may cast off his or her burden
of disease and become well, strong, and happy.
1t proves, too, that the great medicine main.
tains more fully than ever before its unriyaed
place in the estimation of people of wealth
and social standing as well as with the masses.
Mr.. Brown says:-
81 acknowledge with thankfulness and
pleasure the fact that have been cured Of
very painful illness of eight years standing BY
use of Paine's Celery Compound. l had,
during the years of my illness, tried almost ali
the advertised medicines without deriving any
good results. was also treated by several Of
the best doctors of this city, hoping to find
that one of them, at least, would understand
my case.
81 was getting worse, and was told was
incurable. was indeed in a critical condi.
ton. could not go from the house alone,
as was liable to sudden collapse. tried
hospital treatment, but no lief or good results
came to me. could not sleep; anything that
l ate increased my agonies; l was extremely
weak, restless, tired, and Respondent; was
obliged to walk about with my hands pressed
firmly into my left side to ease my pains; my
feet and hands were cold continually; had
inclination to vomit, had profuse, cold sweats,
quick breathing, and would be racked with
pain for hours at a time.
" After the regular use of Paine's Celery
Compound for a time, am now in the best Of
health, have good appetite, and can use any
kind Of food. Thank God l am my old self
once more, all through the use of Paine's
Celery Compound.

INSPECTOR JORDAN CRIPPLED WITH

A City oficial of Lynn, Mass, Tells How
He was Cured by DIR. Williams

Pink Pills.
There is scarcely a city or village from
the Atlantic to the Pacific which has
not its quota Of rheumatic cripples.
That much of their suffering and in
convenience is unnecessary Is proven by
the fact that a specific has been found
for rheumatism in all its forms, rem
edy that has cured extremely stubborn
cases. The statement of a recent cure
should give encouragement to the most
hopeless sufferer.
Charles f. Jordan, of No. New
Chatham street, Lynn, Mass, inspector
of sewer construction in that city for
many years, was for long time afflicted
with inhammatory rheumatism i'll his
feet, which made him unable to walk.
- 1t is hardly necessary to say that my
condition was extremely painful" he
says. 1.-The rheumatism settled in the
Joints and made me helpless so far as
walking was concerned. The skin be-
came very tender and sore and l suffered
agonies every time had an attack.
my sister in law advised me to try
DR. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People
and took them with the best results
They also had beneficial effect upon
my general health. might add that
my daughter in law is taking this rem
edy for paralysis of the face and finds
that the pills are helping her greatly. :"
Rheumatism has been treated in
widely different ways even in quite re-
cent times and ignorant superstition has
furnished many so-called charms to
ward off the disease. Most people now
know that to cure rheumatism it must
be treated through the blood and to pre-
vent the disease the blood must be kept
pure. External applications such as oils
and liniments, while they may relieve
and soothe the pain, have no more power
to permanently cure rheumatism than a
horse chestnut carried in the pocket has
to prevent it.
DR. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People
have powerful effect in combating the
poisons in the blood which cause rheu-
matism. This is the secret Of the
miraculous success of these pills in curing
many severe disorders of the blood and
nerves which do not yield to ordinary
medicines DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People may be obtained at all drug
gists, or direct from DIR. Williams Med
icine Company, Schenectady, N Y. :, fifty

Corn Breeding.

Corn breeding is n modification of
livestock breeding, and follows the
same general laws mud principles. 1t
is the application of principles of plant
and animal breeding to the corn plant.
The per cent Of sugar In the sugar
beet has been increased from per
cent to 1G per cent The ordinary beet
was improved by seed selection, SO
that an enormous industry has been
built up and new source of sugar
given to the world. This has been
done with plant which seeds once
in two years. Corn produces crop
every year; single seed producing
n return Of over thousandfold. From
this great number of offspring, vary
Ing In size, shape, color, and compo-
sition, selection can be made which
will develop any feature of the seed
or plant. By continued selection, these
valuable attributes can be fixed In
the characteristics of the plant, and
in the usefulness and importance of
the crop increased. 10 illustrate the
point we have been able, by select

selecting ears with tall stalks, we have

they are making the Missouri COW ac-

odd Facts About Frogs.

The frogs skin Is so important as
breathing apparatus that the crea-
ture would die at once of suffocation
If the pores were closed by coat Of
sticky varnish, by dust or In any other
way. While we are speaking Of his
breathing you will notice that his
sides do not heave as ours do at each
breath we take. A frog has no ribs
and cannot inhale and exhale as we
do, but is obliged to rwallow Ills air
in gulps, and If you will watch this
title fellows throat you Will see 1t
continually moving in and out as one
eu:p follows another. In order to swal-
,aw his mouth must be closed; Just
ry to swallow with your mouth wide
open and see what mean. A frog,
then, always breathes through his
nose, and If you held his mouth open
he would suffocate ms surely MS though
you gave his skin coat of yarnish.
Mr.. Frog has IN enormous mouth for
his size and If we were to put finger
inside 1t we would find that he has
a row Of teeth in the upper jaw and
that his soft white tongue, unlike our
own, is attached in front and is free
behind. When he wishes to catch any
insect he throws out the free end of
the tongue, then draws II in SO rap
idly that 1t is difficult to see whether
he has been successful or not. AS the
tongue is coated. with gummy fluid
the insect sticks to 1t and is carried
back into the mouth, which closes upon
it like the door Of 4, tomb. Frogs, how
ever are not limited to one mode of
feeding; they often leap open-mouthed
upon larger prey, which includes be-
sides insects small fish. mice, small

Every tree in an orchard should be
washed at least twice year with
strong soapsuds, but there will be nc
necessity for scraping them. The cater.
pillars should be destroyed as soon as
the nests are seen, which will end
large numbers of insects at once. As
the insects multiply with amazing RI.
pidity, the escape of n single pair
means thousands next season. One of
the best assistants to the orchard Is
the little wren. If farmers will give
him proper protection by constructing
boxes with entrances SO small-that no
bird but wren can enter, the spar.
row will be unable to drive 1t away

creature, 1t destroys large number
