The Mysterious Visitor Is Now
Invading Many Homes.
IT strikes Young anil on VINO
IRE Physicdiiy Wedh dnd Pre-
disposed tn Disease.
Paine's CELERY
Compound
Fortifies the Body, CIeanses the
Blood, and Gives Strength to
Resist All Attacks.

That mysterious visitor, Grip" is
now invading many homes and strik-
ing down the young and old who are
week or predisposed TO disease.
1t is well known that the disease
spreads rapidly to the various men,
bers of the households into which it
has been introduced. 1t accords with
the theory of infection, also, that the
disease has usually attacked the pei
sons liable to infection. DR.. Richard
Sisely, i'll his book on Epidemic In
fuenza," says the disease is almost
entirely propagated by infection.
In the past winter seasons it has
been fully and happily demonstrated
that Paine's Celery Compound is a
tower of safety when grip is prevalent
When this scientific and health giving
medicine is used. it strengthens the
nervous centres of all the vital organs ;
it purlfes the blood, regulates diges-
ton, gives a healthy tone to the whole
system, enabling young and old to
feel secure from the ravages of disease.
Weak, nervous, dyspeptic, and ailing
people will find in Paine S Celery Com
pound true protector and shield from
the dangers of grip. A trial of one
bottle will Danish all existing doubts.

BETHANY READING.

Red Letter day was observed by
Bethany reading at the Bethany
chapel on Saturday evening and the
members and their guests enjoved an
exceedingly pleasant evenings's en-
tertainment. Wilder's orchestra rend-
cred several selections. The reader,
Mrs. Benjamin of Boston, was par
ticularly pleasing. Her selections
were somewhat out of the usual order
and were rendered in manner which
elected much praise from her audi
ence. Miss Alice Folsom sang Dear
Heart, / Love YOU" in her usual
charming style and responded to a
hearty encore, and II. D. Hopkins de-
lighted his hearers with readings
from DR.. Drummond's French-Canadi-
an poems.
r Owing to the illness of the presi-
dent, Mrs. Fiske, the guests were re-
ceived by Mrs. Shurtleff, vice. presi.
dent, assisted by Miss White. The
chapel had been beautiful decorated
with white carnations and potted
plants, and the club members united
in making of the occasion pleasant
one for their guests.
The program was followed by a
social hour during which refreshments
were served.
