This in itself means that conditions will
be different than they have been in the
past. But Notwithstanding this change
prices have had a good decline and we
are not disposed to advise short selling
at this level. On the other hand we
would rather buy on sharp break and
run our chances of getting out on a
bulge. The market is over-sold.

The winter season, when many peo-

facilities, the blood becomes watery,
pale, sluggish, and impure; the nerv-
Gus system is impaired, the brain is

whole system ensues
Our object at this time is to sug-

delayed and time lost.
Paine's Celery Compound is the life

doing the same Heaven-bleSsed work
today for sufferers that 1t has so we'll
