Hunting a Tuberculosis Cure.

Tuberculosis is declared to be cpl demic in New York, though it is prob ably not more prevalent there now than is usually the case at this time of the year. It prevails to a considerable eX- tent over the country generally.
 John D. Rockefeller is so anxious to benefit the human race by finding some method of curing this disease that he is said to be willing to spend s7,000,000 for that purpose. Considering the slaughter Of human life every year from this dis ease, that sum would be a mere baga- telle to give for a cure. But it is q large amount from one man. The med ical department of the University of Chicago is to direct special attention, under MT. Rockefeller's gift, to this subject. If it succeeds in discovering the germ and providing a cure it will be one of the great discoveries of the age.
 Physicians have devoted much time and money to this end, as have govern

MELANcH0LIA Is q Perilous Disease and One That
 Leads to Insanity.
Paine's Celery
 Compound
Has Saved Thousands of Melanoholists
 From the Grave.

Melanckolia is a grave disease; it has a tendency to induce suicide and holn!- eide: in many cases it leads to dread insanity The first important symptom of ordinary meiancholia is sieepless- ness. Another symptom of the great est irnportance is a dull pain in the back of the head. Then we see other symptoyns such as depression Of spir- it's. slow mental and muscular move ments, retarded speech, terrifying hal fluctuations. aversion to food and a diregard oi life. Every case of melan-
 chClia is directly traceable to 9 weak ness or collapse of the nervous system. The nerve branches of the sympa- thotic system. the spinal column and brain, are not doing their work, and the blood is thin, sluggish or impure. Paine's Celery Compound is the great rescuer and life builder for every mel ancholic victim. As nerve food, this
 marvellous Compound quickly imparts rourishrent and life to the weak and famished nerves, after which comes q
 new vitality-a feeling that life is pre-
 cious and worth living. The stomach, i liver, and kidneys are toned, digestion becomes perfect, a natural appetite is | bestowed, and sweet, refreshing sleep conduces to a vigorous health. Paine S ! Celery Compound has saved more mel ancholic and nervous sufferers than all
 other combined agencies. Do not treat the symptoms of meianchoiia with in i difference. Begin today with Paine's | Celery Compound. and avoid the perils | that Crar tO insanity and the grave
