Paine'S Celery
Compound
Mrs. Clark Tells of Her Happy Rescue
From Suffering After Failures
of Physicians,

Nervous disorders and diseases are
on the increase, and women are the
chief sufferers. Digestion gives out,
there are pains in the head, the tongne
is coated, the muscles ache, there is
constipation, heart palpitation, gloomy
fears Cypress continually, and sleep is
broken and disturbed.
The only reliable remedy that medi-
cal science has given to humanity for
the cure of nervousness, is Paine's Gel
cry Compound, prescribed by eminent
physicians with the happiest results.
ln critical cases, Paine's Celery Com
pound has saved life and restored
health when all other medicines failed.
Mrs. f. A. Clark, of Moscow, Idaho,
wires as follows about her success
with Paine's Celery Compound. -

300 Reward, S1OU.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least one
dreaded disease that science has been
able to cure in ali It's stages, and that is
Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is the
only positive cure known to the medical
fraternity. Catarrh being a constitu-
tional disease, requires constitutional
treatment. Halls Ostarrh Cure is ia
ken internally, acting directly upon the
blood and mucous surfaces of the sys-
tenn, thereby destroying the foundation
of the disease, and giving the patient
strength by building up the constitution
and asis ing nature in doing its work.

Rain and Plants.

Many persons must have noticed that
the most diligent sprinkling Of lawns
and flower beds fails to impart to the
grass and plants vital stimulus equal
to that which comes from a good show
er of rain. A correspondent reminds
us Of the reason for the difference. 1t
is because rain, falling from a great
height through the air, brings with it
considerable quantity of carbonic
acid, of heterogeneous particles and of
other elements nutritious to plants
which it has washed out of the atmos-
phere. So a sprinkler used from the
top of tall building might be slightly
more effective than when employed at
the surface Of the ground.
