BUDS AND FLOWERS OF
HOME LIFE.
Paine's Celery Compound Makes and Keeps
the Children Well and Strong,
Mothers Make II the Home Medicine
For the Little Ones.

The children, God bless them, are the buds
and flowers of our homes. Without their
prattle and hearty laughter, our homes would
be desolate. They should ever be carefully
tended in childhood and youth, il we expect
them to ripen into perfect men and women.
In the home and at school, the children
have their times of i'll health and suffering.
We often note the pallid and bloodless cheeks,
heavy eyes, nervous movements, and twitch-
ings of limbs and muscles. They complain of
headache, drowsiness, WEAKNESS, dyspepsia,
and indigestion. All such symptoms and all
ments mean that the seeds of disease will have
fast and firm hold, unless proper measures
are taken to restore a perfect condition Of
health.
Thousands OF wise and prudent parents have
made their children happy, healthy, and vigor-
GUS by giving them NATURES medicine, Paine's
Celery Compound. In many severe and COM
plicated cases, Paine's Celery Compound has
restored health when the little ones were given
up by physicians.
If your dear ones are not as hearty, strong,
and rugged as they should be, try the health
giving virtues of Paine's Celery Compound.
1t makes and keeps the children well.

had not heard of Brandywine or Bun

should rise like a star over old Vim

broken into scattered groups. Alice en-
tered through rent in the stockade, as
that happened to be a shorter route
than through the gate, and appeared
suddenly almost in their midst.
1t was happy surprise, pretty and
catching spectacular apparition of a
sort to be thoroughly appreciated by
