A Woman's Wealth.
Paine'S Celery
Compound
GIVES VIGOR AND
STRENGTH TO DEBILITATED AND
RUN DOWN WOMEN.

II is maintained by many distinguished
writers that the greatness of nation depends
much upon the physical condition of its
women. The general conditions which con-
tribute to health and long life, are those which
do not imply rapid and unequal exhaustion
OF those powers by which life is maintained.
While we assert that the women of our land
stand peerless for beauty and the virtues that
make them lovable, we cannot hide the fact
that there are thousands in our midst who,
owing to overwork, worry, household cares,
and an unequal exhaustion of life power, have
become weak, nervous, sleepless, and debili-
tated.
We bring to the attention of all weary,
respondent, hopeless, and sickly women
earth's great rescuer and health builder,
Paine's Celery Compound. Thousands OF
healthy women around us owe their present
Igor, activity, and robustness to Paine's
Celery Compound. Mrs. Stephen Smith, St.
Paul, Mimi, tells how she was snatched from
the grave; she says:-

and was at deaths door, and no one ever

in things. had everything that money and
