The greatest of modern physicians, Prof.
Edward E. Phelps, M. D., IL. D., after year:
of long practice and close scientific study, gave
to suffering and diseased men and women hi:
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, 81
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
tains more fully than ever before its unrivaled
place in the estimation of people of wealth
and social standing as well as with the masses.
