Rescued from Suffering
and Death by
PAINE'S
Celery Compound
THE GREAT rIEDICINE.
Mr.. ALFRED BROWN,
Prominent and Popular Citizen, Says:
"After the Use of Paine's Celery Compound,
Am Now in the Best of Health"
THE GREAT rlEDICINE.

The greatest of modern physicians, Prof.
Edward Z. Phelps, M. 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 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, OF
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.
Mr.. Brown says:-
s. acknowledge with thankfulness and
pleasure the fact that have been cured of a
very painful illness of eight years standing by
use of Paines Celery Compound. / had,
during the years of my illness, tried almost all
the advertised medicines without deriving any
good results. | 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.
{" was getting worse, and was told was
incurable. was indeed in a critical condi-
ton. | could not go from the house alone,
as | was liable to sudden collapse. l tried
hospital treatment, but no relief or good results
came to me. could not sleep; anything that
| 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 vomt, had profusc, cold sweats,
quick breathing, and would be racked with
pain for hours at a 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 l am my old self
once more, all through the use of Pane's
Celery Compound

DEATH OF A YOUNG GIRL.
Mary Francis Sturgiss, The Daughter of
Col. and Mrs A. G. Sturgiss,
Summoned Hence


Col. and Mrs a. G. Sturgiss,
Summoned Hence.
Death at all times and under all
circumstances is inexplainably sad,
but when a young and innocent life is
cut off the blow is almost unbearable
to both relatives and friends. Such
death occurred in Oakland, at the
home of Col. and Mrs A. G.. Sturgiss,
on last Tuesday evening about $50
o'clock when Mary Francis, their
youngest daughter, was summoned
hence by the Master.
The young girl was taken ill about
three weeks ago with gastric fever
which on Sunday last developed into
typhoid, and On Monday pneumonia
set in. Being already greatly weak
ened by the ravages of the diseases,
the constitution of the deceased was
not strong enough to withstand the
complications and death resulted.
Francis was we'll known by every
one in Oakland for her womanly ways.
innocent department and extreme
kindness of spirit, which was evidence
ed in every act. She was the idol
at whose shrine her parents, brother
and sister worshiped. Her every de-
sire was faithfully carried out by
them and in return she gave them her
undivided love and affection.
Her death was notwholly unexpect-
ed as her extreme illness had p,epar-
ed her friends for the worst but never
theless it came with a suddenness
that has enshrouded her acquaintan-
ces, especially all her young girl
friends, with sadness.
She was born in June, 1889, and
was therefore in her fifteenth year.
The funeral will take place tomor-
row from her late home and will be
private owing to the illness of her sis
ter, Miss Nell, who is just now con-
valescing after three weeks illness
of gastric fever.
In their extreme af1iiction Col. and
Mrs. Sturgiss have the sympathy of
everyone in Oakland.

will come in for your share of the
