Paine's Celery
Compound
Cures
DYSPEPSIA, INDIGESTION,
AND STOMACH TROUBLES.
Cures

The fortunes and evils of dyspepsia and
indigestion are experienced by thousands at
this time. The dyspeptic's train of evils
may be enumerated as follows: feelings of
dizziness, languor, nervousness, sleeplessness,
headache, distension of the stomach, loss of
flesh, difficult breathing, and the action of the
heart is seriously affected.
All forms of dyspepsia are quickly banished
by the use of Paine's Celery Compound.
The use of this marvellous medicine allays the
inflammation of the nerves centred about the
stomach; it opens up the sewers of the body
and removes all waste matter; it cleanses the
blood; it makes new nerve fibre; it restores
digestive power, and promotes bodily strength
and activity. Mr.. Fred. Ross, Clarendon,
Iowa, briefly writes about his happy expert
ence with Paine's Celery Compound as
follows:-
SIT gives me great pleasure to testify to the
merits of Paine's Celery Compound. / can
candidly and honestly say it is the best medi-
cine in the world. Two years ago was sui
fering from indigestion and nervousness, and
was so run down that I could hardly walk
without help. l used two bottles of Paine's
Celery Compound and got better almost from
the first dose, and have had no use for medi-
cine since. l was completely cured"

1t is the kidneys first cry for help.

Doan's Baeiache Kidney Pulls are

Are just what overworked kidneys
need.
They strengthen and invigorate the
kidney; help them to do their work;

disease.
Reed the proof from Honolulu citi-
zen.
Mr.. Charles Comey, of Cyclomere
street, this city, one of the many per-
sons who have tried Doan's Backache
Kidney Pills with great advantage, re-
lates his experience thus: IT have been
a hack driver for g. number of years
past and this Is an occupation in
which, through exposure to weather
and much jumping up and down from
the vehicle. one is particularly liable to
kidney complaint. I suffered myself
from lame back for long while, and
in my anxiety to get rid OF it tried
several things which did not reach the
root of my trouble. An advertisement
acquainted me with what grand work
Doan's Backache Kidney Pills were
doing, and I got some of them at the
HOLSTER Drug Co.'S store. used them
and with very much profit. for they re-
lieved my back wonderfully"
Doan's Backache Kidney Pills are
for sale by all dealers or sent by mail
on receipt of price, so cents per box,

Islands.

TO PREVENT GROUP, begin in
time. The first symptom is hoarseness;
this is soon followed by a peculiar
rough cough, which is easily recognized
and will never be forgotten by one who
has heard it. The time to act is when
the child first becomes hoarse. If
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is freely
given, all tendency to Group will soon
disappear. Even after the croupy
cough has developed, it will prevent the
attack. There is no danger in giving
this remedy as it contains nothing in
furious. It always cures and cures
quickly. Benson, Smith & Co., Ltd,

WILL GREET
DR., CLARK
The Christian Endeavors
Arrange a Pro-
gram.

At meeting of Christian Endeavor-
ers in Central Union church last night
the report of the committee to outline
a plan of reception to DR.. Clark, found
er of the first Christian Endeavor So
ciety, was made. The steamer Sierra,
on which he will take passage, will
probably get in early on January 6,
1904, and leave in the afternoon, and
this will permit of no evening meeting.
The Endeavorers are to meet DIR. Clark
in a launch decorated in purple and
gold, the Christian Endeavor colors.
and C. E. badges for the day will be
ribbons of the same color.
In the forenoon a prayer meeting
will be held on Pacific Heights for
Endeavorers and Christian workers.
From IL to 1, there will be an infor-
NAL reception in the Central Union
church parlors in order that those may
meet Dr. Clark who would otherwise
be prevented by business.
In the afternoon a large convention
will take place in Central Union church
addressed by DR.. Clark after which
the whole audience~wiH be expected to
follow him to the steamer to wave
and sing him farewell.
Committees on badges, decorations,
lunch, the Pacific Heights meeting,
finance, press, and program, were ap-
pointed. The Christian Endeavor
song writtenvby Philip III. Dodge for a
convention a few years ago to the tune
of Hawaii Ponoi will be sung again
at the main meeting in the afternoon.

Ia There Peril in Immigrationf

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-!Sir: Mr.. Al
bert Granger Is severe in his criticism OF
Slavonic immi grants. but he is not half as
severe as were many Americans OF Revolu-
tionary times in their criticism Of the native
poor Of that period The evils which Mr..
Granger foresees as the result Of the enfran-
chisement Of immigrants are not at all to be
compared with the terrible effects OF popular
government as they we're then foretold by
the advocates of arlstocratic institutions.
1t was said that the election OF Thomas
jefferson would endanger the lives as we'll
as the property Of the wealthy. 1t was even
contended in those good old days, when there
were no inferior races among US, that the
success of the more popular, political party
would make our country dangerous place
for respectable women: such was the Juug-
ment pronounced by educated and prominent
Americans upon the ancestors Of those who
now speak loftily of their Colonial descent.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-Sir: Mr..

call your attention to an article In to-days New

This article speaking about mileage to and from
California Is In error when II says CongresSmen
came around Cape Horn In early times as no line OF

from the Eastern States to tho Pacific Coast In 40
or 80.
The first steamer OF the Rowland and Aspnwal
Line entered the harbor Of San Francisco In Febru
ary, Is4s and ran every month ancrward. and.
am confident carried Congressman each way. as
the state Of Ca afornla was not admitted until Sept
o, 1850.
These statements are all wrong and misleading
and there must be old Calfornlans In Washington
who know the truth was In California nearly tho
whole OF 1850 and returned from there via Panama
