Marvellous Escape from

PAINE'S CELERY
COMPOUND
Does Wondrous Work for a Lady
Who Was Almost Crazed with
Pain and Suffering.

1t is we'll known that terrible rheumatism,
scatica, and neuralgia cause more helpless
ness, acute suffering, and agony, than any of
the other diseases that afliict humanity. The
great medicinal virtues of Paine's Celery Com
pound make it the only trustworthy specific
for the cure of all forms of rheumatism and
neuralgia Thousands of strong testimonial
letters from the most prominent people of the
land, prove that Paine's Celery Compound
has banished these terribly fatal troubles when
all other treatment has failed. Mrs. Mar
garet Bethel, of Brainerd, Mimi, after thirty
years of agonizing tortures had desire to end
her life, if it was the will of Heaven; she al
most prayed for the time to lay it down.
Heaven directed, she made use of Paine s
Celery Compound, and is enjoying true life
once more. She says:-
"For thirty years have been great suf-
ferer from neuralgia in the head, and also
with rheumatism in, the whole body. began
taking Paine's Celery Compound and soon

Its a losing game" he said. I'm
worth nothing when whim of hers
is in question. But in a losing game at
Port Said we used to double the stakes
and 60 on. She do a Melancolia! She
hasn't the power or the insight or the
training-only the desire. She's cursed
with the curse of Reuben. She won't
do line work because it means real
work; and yet she's stronger than l am.
I'll make her understand that l can
beat her on her own Melancolia. Even

He discovered that the notion would
| not come to order, and that he could not
free his mind for an hour from the
thought Of Maisies departure. He took
| very small interest in her rough studies
| for the Melancolia when she showed
| them next week. The Sundays were
racing past. and the time was at hand
| when all the church bells in London
could not ring Maisie back to him.
/ Once or twice he said something to
Binkie about "hermaphrodltic fulfill
ties,' but the little dog received SO
many condolences both from Torpen-
how and Dick that he did not trouble
his tulip ears to listen.
Dick was permitted to see the girls
off. They were going by the Dover
night boat, and they hoped to return in
August. 1t was then February, and
Dick felt that he was being hardly
used. Maisie was so busy stripping the
small house across the park and pack
ing her canvases that she had no time
for thought. Dick went down to Dover
and wasted a day there fretting over q
wonderful possibility. Would Maisie
at the very last allow him one small
kiss? He reflected that he might cap
ture her by the strong arm, as he hat
seen women captured in the southern
Sudan, and lead her away; but Maisi
would never be led. She would turn
her gray eyes upon him and say, "Dick
how selfish you are!' Then his courage
would fail him. 1t would be better aft
er all tofbeg for that kiss.
Maisie looked more than usually kiss
able as she stepped from the night mai
on to the windy pier in a gray water
proof and little gray cloth travelin:

and her lips were dry. Dick saw thu
