Rescued from Suffering
and Death by
PAINE'S
Celery Compound
THE GREAT nEDICINE.
THE GREAT rlEDICINE.

Mr.. ALFRED BROWN,
AProminent and Popular Citizen, Says:
after the Use of Palne's Celery Compound.
Am Now In the Best of Health"
The greatest of modern physicians, Prof.
Edward L. 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 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 DIR. 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.. Brown
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.
Mr.. Brown says:-
al acknowledge with thankfulness 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. l 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.
al was getting worse, and was told was
incurable. was indeed in a critical condi-
ton. could not 60 from the house alone,
as 1 was liable TO sudden collapse. 1 tried
hospital treatment, but no relief or good results
came to me. could not sleep; anything that
l ate increased my agonies; 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 witt
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
nee more, all through the use of Paine's
Celery Compound

The Right way TO Boil Water.

''To hCil water would seem to be a
very simple thing" writes some one in
the Boston Cooking School Magazine.
land yet the late Charles DclmOnico
used 10 say that very few people know
how to do it. The secret is he said,
in putting coed fresh water into a ket-
tie already quite warm, setting the wa
ter to boiling quickly and then taking
it right OFF for use in tea, coffee or otlI-
er drinks before il is spoiled. To lot it
steam and simmr" and cyao9-ate until
the good water is in the atmosphere
and only Tie lime and iron and Grcgs
left i'll the kettle is what makes Il great
many people sick, and It is worse than
no water at ALL For water boiled like
this and favored with fcw drops Of
lcGaon juice Mr. lrimoiIic0 used to
charge as much as for his best liquors.
and he often recommended 1t to his
customers and friends who complained
Of loss of appetite. II is worth trying"

The Little Church Back Home.

An again. I'm meek and lowly fore a

4 throne that wasn't nestlin' meath Il

But the sinners sought their Saviour in
that little church back home.
When we had protracted meetin's. why,
'twould done you good to hear
The congregation singin' with blend of
voices clear,
How the Rock o Ages" lowered like Il
shelt'rin sort o wall,
An our souls scared up to glory since the
rock was cleft for all,
Ev'ry face was wreathed with sweetness,
an we always had smile
For the stranger, saint or sinner, in the
pew across the aisle;
For diamonds often gathered from the
COlIIuOlSSI Oh lO1ln,
An we didn't mind the settin' in the little
church back home.
There were weddin's where the neighbors
gathered in from far an wide,
An the boys looked on in envy while their
sisters kissed the bride;
There were rails, too, where ncighborS
didn't feel ashamed to cry
When they laid to rest the sleeper in the
little yard close by,
Each pew seems sort O. sacred, an the
lowly pulpit there
Pears ike holy gateway to armament
that's fair;
Where The sweet, supernal sunshine softly
scatters sorrows gloam
An let's us enter heaven from the little
churcl! back home.
The city choir's voices rise in cadences so
sweet
AS they sing about the river where tie
saintcd ones shall meet,
An the preachers voice is pleadin' as he
asks us. soft an low,
To treat all men as brothers in this weary
vale Of woe.
This city church is handsome an the con-
grcgation's large,
The preachers dom noblv with his
hcaven-seckin' charge;
The choir'S Swellin' anthems soar to
heaven through the dome,
But my old heart is sighin' for the little

Hoy SnT.-es Walk.

Savarcs always walk with their toes
turned in for two reasons. In the first
place the foot naturally falls in that
position wien it has never been con-
fined by boots or the ankles distorted
by high heels. In the long stride of the
savage the leg swings freely like
pendulum round the center of gravity,
which is somewhere between it and
the other leg. In the swing the abduc-
tor muscles of the inside of the thigh
bring the sole of the foot under the
center OF gravity. and In doing 80
slightly rotate the foot toward the in
ner line, turning the toe in. Conven-
fence is also OH the side of the natural
position Of the foot in the case of the
savage, for he has 10 do much walking
through long grass and underground in
forests.
y moments reflection will show how
very much his progress would be i'm
pcdCd if he turned his toes out to catch
these obstacles instead of brushing
them aside and outward as he now
does. Lastly, the savage uses his foot
much more as IL help. to his hands than
we do. and it is obvious that in doing
this he must turn lis toes in.
