MELANCHOLIA
Is PeriIous Disease and One That
Leads to Insanity.
Paine's
Celery Compound
Has Saved Thousands of MeIanchoIists
From the Grave.

Melancholia is a grave disease: II
has tendency to induce suicide and
homicide; in many cases 1t leads to
dread insanity. The first important
symptom of ordinary melancholia is
sleepiessness. Another symptom OF
the greatest Importance is dull pain
i'm the back of the neck, extending to
the back of the head. Then we see
other symptoms. such as depression OF
spirits. slow mental and muscular
movements. retarded speech, terribly

a disregard of life. Every case of mel
ancholia is directly traceable TO
weakness or collapse of the nervous
system. The nerve branches of the
sympathetic system. the spinal column
and brain, are not doing their work.
and the blood is thin, sluggish or inn
pure.
Paine's Celery Compound is the great
rescuer and life builder for every mel
ancholic victim. AS nerve food. this
marvellous Compound quickly imparts
nourishment and life to the weak and
famished nerves, after which comes a
new vitality-a feeling that life is
precious and worth living. The stom-
ach, liver, and kidneys are toned, di-
gestion becomes perfect natural an
petite is bestowed, and sweet. refresh
ing sleep conduces to a vigorous
health. Paine's Celery Compound has
saved more mclancholic and nervous
sufferers than all other combined
agencies Do not treat the symptoms
of melancholia with indifference. Be

to insanity and the grave.

der by Heitfeld
The bill then was passed and con-
sderation of the statehood bill was re-
sumed. Depew yielded to Dietrich
Neb., who under the latitude of debate
said he would submit some observa-
lions regarding some affairs in the
Philippines" He spoke briefly.
Depew, resuming his remarks begun,
Wednesday, said, referring to the anti
polygamy provision in the statehood
bill that it would seem that 1.-The fine
Italian hand of the Mormon apostle
had been at work in the preparation of
the measure and that the concentrated
influence of the Mormon Hierarchy
could be seen in the determined effort
to prevent any amendment which
would completely exclude polygamy."
1t is not disputed, he said, that the
vote of the Mormon church is abso-
lutely controlled by the Central Hierar-
chy of that organization.
He declared that the migration of
Mormons to different states and terri
tories was not for the purpose OF Sc
curing homes and farms but through
compact to control legislation. He
read from an alleged address by Bishop
Lunt of the Mormon church, exhorting
his followers to remain firm in observ-
ing the tenets of the Mormon church
and thus maintain their power in poll
tics.
iawlins informed Depew that the adj
dress was fictitious and that Depew
had been imposed upon. He never
knew. he said, of Bishop Lunt of the
Mormon church, and, answering
Depew. said the Mormon church organ
had repudiated the address.
Any legislation, Rawlins declared, in
any state directed at Mormonism is flu
tile unless there is public sentiment
which will sustain the same. The
question was not as to the inadeuuacy
