Compound
THE GREAT rlEDICINE.
Mr.. ALFRED BROWN,
A Prominent and Popular Citizen, Says:
After the Use Of Paine's Celery COMPOUND,
Am Now In the Best Of HEALTH"

The greatest of modern physicians, Prof.
Edward E. Phelps, NJ. D., IL. D., after years
If long practice and close scientific study, gave
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
he best known and most reliable men and
women of our country fully sustain the claims
made by DR.. Phelps regarding bis incompar-
lble Paine's Celery Compound.
One of the most convincing proofs furnished.
zones recently from gentleman widely
<nown in the capital city of the Dominion OF
Canada. We refer to MIR. Alfred Brown, 81
0'Connor St., Ottawa, Ont. MIR. Browns
etter fully demonstrates the fact that the
greatest sufferer may cast off his or her burden
If disease and become well, strong, and happy.
It proves, too, that the great medicine main.
aims 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:-
~ acknowledge with thankfulness and
pleasure the fact that / have been cured of q

my case.

lion. I could not 60 from the house alone,
As I was liable to sudden collapse. I tried

I ate increased my agonies; l was extremely
weak, restless, tired, and despondent; 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 vomit, had profuse, cold sweats,
quick breathing, and would be racked With
pain for hours at 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 am my old self
once more, all through the use of Paine's
Celery Compound"
