You VIII Be Happy if Well.
Paine's Celery
Compound
Bestows that Health and
vigor that Makes Liv-
ing a Pleasure.

# you are sick and out -of-sorts, it is in your
power to make yourself healthy, strong, and
happy.
There is not the slightest reason why you
should go through life feeling sickly, miserable.
languid, and melancholic. To be well and
strong, means happiness and true Joy.
If you are sleepless, rheumatic, neuralgia,
dyspeptic, or have the shadows of disease
lowering over you; if you are not as bright,
energetic, and strong as you were some weeks
ago, the use of Paine's Celery Compound will
tone up and fortify your whole system, cleanse
the blood, correct digestion, sharpen the
appetite, and conduce to restful sleep. Thous-
ands once in half-dead condition owe their
present good health to the use of Paine's
Celery Compound. Mr.. VIM. S. Gibson, of
Pleasureville, KY, who, Through sickness and
suffering, was brought near the dark grave,
writes as follows, regarding his marvellous
cure -
