A Woman's Wealth.
Paine'SCelerY
Compound

GIVES VIGOR AND
STRENGTH TO DEBILITATED AND
RUN DOWN WOMEN.

1t is maintained by many distinguished
writer's that the greatness of nation depends
much upon the physical condition of its
women. The general conditions which con-
tribute to health and long life, are those which
do not imply rapid and unequal exhaustion
of those powers by which life is maintained.
While we assert that the women of our land
stand peerless for beauty and the virtues that
make them lovable, we cannot hide the tact
that there are thousands in our midst who,
owing to overwork, worry, household cares,
and an unequal exhaustion of life power, have
become weak, nervous, sleepless, and deblli-
tated.
We bring to the attention of all weary,
respondent, hopeless, and sickly women

Paine's Celery Compound. Thousands OF
healthy women around us owe their present
vigor, activity, and robustness to Paine

owns about 5000 acres OF coal lands near
Pocahontas. The output Of the mines
can be made as great as 5000 tons a day,
but the railroad company cannot fur

that much. Some of the operators in this

pany Intentionally keeps back the cars
for the purpose Of keeping down the
output OF coal. There Is Just as good
reason to think the coal operators wish
to limit the output in order to keep Up
the price. It Is generally believed the
railway company and the Pocahontas
Galleries Company are closely allied,
differing chiefly in name. If this be true.
OF course the railway company would be
interested in the price received. II 1t
