how much given quantity of wine has
been watered. The principle on which
the invention rests is the variable con-
OF different liquids, notably of
wine ana water. The apparatus works
as follows. Two vessels, one contain
ing wine known to be pure, the other
the same quantity of the wine to be
tested. are placed on an instrument
outwardly resembling pair of scales.
The telephone is in contact with both
liquids. 1T the sample of wine under
is as pure as the standard
used for comparison, no sound is heard;
IL on the contrary, 1t contains wafer,
the telltale telephone speaks, and
the greater the portion of water, the
louder the instrument complains. a
dial on Which a number of figures are
marked. is connected with the tele-
nhone. TO ascertain the proportion OF
water in the wine tested, the operator
moves a hand on the dial until the
telephone, which has been speaking
all this time, lapses into silence. The
hand has thus been brought to Ger
tain figure on the dial. The number Is
then looked UP in chart, which the
ingenius and painstaking inventor mas
drawn UP, and corresponding to 1t Is
found indicated the exact proportion OF
water contained in the quantity OF wine

Rescued from Suffering

Celery Compound
THE GREAT nEDICINE.
Mr.. ALFRED BROWN,
A Prominent and Popular Citizen, Says:

THE GREAT rIEDICINE.

The greatest of modern physicians, Prof.
Edward f. Phelps, NJ. D., Ii. 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 knoWiedg, 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 f,u she'd,
comes recently from a gentleman widely
known in the capital city of the Do.ii,on of
Canada. We refer to Mr.. Alfred .r,, n, OIL
OConnor ST., Ottawa, ont tir. Towns
letter fully demonstrates the fact IT," e the
greatest sufferer may cast off hi, 81 her lrden

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 we'll as with the masses.
Mr. Brown says:-
al acknowledge with thankfulness and
pleasure the fact that have been cured of
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

that one of them, at least, would understand

obliged to walk about with my hands pressed

quick breathing and would be racked with
pain for hours at a time.
"Aiter the regular use of Paine's Celery
