4 WORD TO FARM TOILERS.
PAINE'S GEL Err 7
COMP OJJND
The Home Friend Of the.
Farmer and His Family.


..Afterthe labors and tolls Of the summer time,
and harvesting OF crops IN the early autumn,
many Of our farmers, their wives, daughters
and sons, find themselves in a condition Of
health demanding careful attention if suffering
is to be avoided later on. Many experience
kidney trouble in some form; with some the
liver is torpid; there is bHliousness, Nausea, and
vomiting, with loss Of appetite and depression
of spirits. Thousands who have been exposed
to cold, damp winds and rains while toiling il
the harvest fields, now feel the tWinges of
terrible rheumatism; Others run down sby
worry, overwors, and irregular dieting, are
tormented with the pangs Of dyspepsia.
To the thousands OF run down, sickly, and
half dead men and women in farm homes we
recommend with all honesty and confidence
the workers friend, Paine's Celery Comp
the only medicine that can quickly and fully
restore strength TO the weak body and vigor to
the muscles. Paine's Celery Compound tones
the stomach; It removes poisonous acids from
the blood which cause rheumatism; it feeds
the weak and diseased nerves and banishes
neuralgia fortunes; it purifes the blood and
gives true vitality and life. he use Of Paine S
Celery Compound in autumn means the estab-
fishing Of a perfect physical yigor to Withstand
the rpors Of a severe winter M
