SAVE OUR YOUNG WOMEN !
Thousands Employed in Our Large
Departmental Stores and Public
Offices arc Now Weak
and Siekly.
Tell Them of
Pdine'S Celery
Compound
Woman's Unfailing Regulator
and Health Giver.

In the mammoth departmental stores
and large public offices of our leading
oities, there are thousands of young
women employed. From the morning
opening hour till these vast hives of
trade close at night, these young wo-
men are expanding their energy and
strength in serving their masters and
a critical public.
Long hours. close confinement, inn
perfect ventilation, excitement, and
brain worry, soon leave marks Of
creeping disease and sickness. Head
ache, sleeplessness, indigestion, con-
stipstion, neuralgia, rheumatism, and
nervousness make the lives of young
women miserable and almost unbear-
able. in thousands of cases the traces
of terrible blood troubles are seen in
the faces Of those who should look
comely and attractive.
To the class of suffering young wo-
men just referred to, we would say
that Paine's Celery Compound is a
blessed agent of health and womanly
vitality. This medicine is a positive
ana true nerve food and system cleans
err. 1t corrects any tendency to con-
stipation; il tones the stomach, keeps
digestion perfect, the brain feels the
strengthening effects of the superb nu.
triton it affords, natural and refresh
ing sleep takes the place of insomnia,
and the rose blush is brought to the
pale face. We urge upon all sickly
and weak young women the necessity
of Paine's Celery Compound for their
peculiar ailments It has made thous-
ands strong; it will give you the same
happy results.
