Vigorous Old Age

Paine's Celery Compound makes the old
feel young, and cures their ills. 1t has added
years Of health and enjoyment to many life.
Use this great medicine regularly, and its inyig-
Grating powers viii fill your declining years
with health, strength, and happiness. Read
what George L. Morse, 81 years old, writes:--
WELLS & RICHARDSON CO.,
Gentlemen - Just word in favor Of
Paine's Celery Compound, hoping it may catch
the eye OF some afflicted person, and they
may receive the same satisfactory benefit.
Some IS years ago had combination of
malaria, chills and fever, and grip, which CON
tinued for year or more- meantime lost in
weight about 90 pounds, trying different n,edi-
cines and doctors with unsatisfactory results.
Paine's Celery Compound was recommended,
and, after using little began to improve,
gaining about a pound a week. Inza year
had regained 50 pounds OF the lost weight and
good health, and have teen a well man ever
since. Yours truly, GEORGE r. MORSE.

DIR. Miles Heart Cure
Cured Me.

There is nothing that has a more deleter-
Icus effect upon the cardiac or heart nerves
than the excessive use Of tobacco. Pain and
tenderness around the heart, an oppressive
feeling in the chest, choking sensation in the
throat, discomfort from sleeping on the lett
side and srnothc1ng spells at night when the
sufferer has to sit up in bed to breathe are
the most common symptoms Of weak heart.
Smokers who leel these symptoms and who
do not understand their meaning should be
warned in time, by the following experience:
Il was greatly troubled with an affection
OF the heart, due think TO excessive smoking.
On writing to you for advice / was directed

EDWARD W. BOX ON SUCCESS.

Like many aspiring youths, Ed
ward w. Box turned to one who
had been brilliantly successful for
the pass word which would open to
him the golden gates. He asked
Chauncey Depew what was the Sc
cret of success. my boy, replied
the genial diplomat, there is no
secret to it. 1t is just dig, dig,
dig. That the hint was taken can
be judged from the position Mr..
Box now holds. Being called upon
to relate how he had succeeded so
strikingly Mr.. Box told the story.
In the course of his lecture on the
Keys to Success > which is given
in eXtenso in Modern Eloquence, "
(from which we quote) he shows
marked ability for crystallizing fact
into epigram, as can be seen from
the following examples:
Every young man who is striving
to succeed must put success in its
rightful, simple place.
To carry to a successful termina-
tiOn what one starts to do is what
success really is and means.
The correct definition of success
is accomplishment.
Hard work must become a habit
before any degree of success what.
