Rescued from Suffering
and Death by
PAINE'S
Celery Compound
THE GREAT nEDICINE.
Mr.. ALFRED BROWN,
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, Prof.
Edward +. Phelps, NJ. D., IL. D., after years
of long practice and close scientific study, gave
to suffering and diseased men and women his
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 incompar-
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 of
Canada. We refer to Mr.. Alfred Brown, oI
O'Connor ST., Ottawa, Ont. Mr.. Browns
letter fully demonstrates the fact that the
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
tans more fully than ever before its unrivaled
place in the estimation of people of wealth
and social standing as well as with the masses.
Mr.. Brown says:-
81 acknowledge with thankfu and
pleasure the fact that have been cured of a
very painful illness of eight years standing by
use of Paine's Celery Compound. had,
during the years of my illness, tried almost all
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.
g 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 relief 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 time.
After the regular use of Paine's Celery
Compound for time, am now in the best OF
health, have good appetite, and can use any
kind of food. Thank God / am my old self
once more, all through the use of Paine's
Celery Compound

THE EXPANSION OF RUSSIA.
Nothing Stops the Progress Of the

Nothing Stops the Progress of the
Giant of the North.
The progress of Russia is like the
spreading of ink over plotting paper.
There is no natural barrier in Persia
to throw her back or head her off,
such as the mountainous frontier Of
India. But the prospect of Russian
absorption of Persia is not practical
politics today. Neither is it practical
politics nor healthy patriotism to
hound on Great Britain to occupy,
finance, protect or claim rights in
every country which lies upon her
road to India or Africa or America or
the South Seas. Such policy is mere
ly suicidal We can barely govern
efficiently our present possessions.
Fresh large responsibilities in Persia,
in China and ultimately in Turkey
would simply weigh US down to the
gunwale and finally sink us.-London

HE SOLD HIS HEAD.
Peculiar Condition in Which Wealthy
Russian Finds Himself.

Peculiar Condition in Which Wealthy
Russian Finds Himself.
A curious story comes from Russia
about man who sold his head. About
the year 1866 there lived man at
Keff with an enormous head. A Rus
sian scientist, Prof. Walker, in order
to secure the head for scientific pur-
poses, bought it from it's possessor for
500 roubles. The condition OF sale
was that it should only be delivered
after the mans decease; but when
the transaction got abroad a great
scandal was created. The professor,
however, stuck to his bargain, and the
big head applied itself to business
Fortune smiled on the latter; he fell
heir to big fortune, and then he
began to feel uncomfortable at the
thought that the head belonged to an
other. He went to the professor, offer
ed him 1000, 1900, even 1000 roubles
II only he would give him back the
absolute ownership Of his headpieces
But the professor held out, and for
aught that is known to the contrary he
is still holding out-Pearson's Week
