MELANCHOuA
Is a PeriIous Disease and One That
Leads to Insanity.
Paine s Celery
Compound
Has Saved Thousands Of Melan
cholists from the Grave.

Melancholia is grave disease: 1t
has a tendency to induce suicide and
homicide; in many cases it leads to
dread insanity. The first important
symptom of ordinary melancholy is
sleeplessness. Another symptom of the
greatest Importance is a dull pain in
the back of the neck, extending to the
back of the head. Then we see other
symptoms, such as depression of spir-
Its, slow mental and muscular move
ments. retarded speech, terrifying hal
hucinationS, aversion to food ana a
disregard OF life. Every case of melan-
cholia Is directly tracable to weak
ness or collapse of the nervous sys-
tenn The nerve branches OF the SYM
pathetic system, the spinal column and
brain. are not doing their work, and
the blood is thin, sluggish and impure.
Paine's Celery Compound is the great
rescuer and life builder for every mel
ancholic victim. AS a nerve food this
marvellous compound quickly imparts
nourishment and life to the weaS and
famished nerves, after which comN a
new yitality-a feeling that life Is
precious and worth living. The stom-
ach, liver and kidneys are toned, di-
gestion becomes perfect, natural app
petite Is bestowed, and sweet, refresh
ing sleep conduces to vigorous health
Paine's Celery Compound has saved
more melancholic and nervous suffer-
ers than all other combined agencies
Do not treat the symptoms of melan-
cholia with Indifference. Begin today
with Paine's Celery Compound. and
avoid the perils that drag to insanity
and the grave.
