Build Up
Your System!

Neglect and carelessness are the general causes
of all disease.
People never become dangerously sick until
after nature has given them many warnings
The great mistake is not paying attention to
these warnings.
When you feel "r1n down" FUSED up" "ner-
vous, tired most of the tine-it means that some
thing is wrong and nature is warning you.
You need more nerve force to build up your
system.
Strengthen your nerves, increase your nerve
force and your health will take care of itself
Science with its unerring methods of research
has proved that the various organs and tissues of
the body continue in health and perform their
work properly as long as their nerve supply re-
tains its vigor and strength.
But if the nerves degenerate or lose power from
poor nourishnent or any other cause, the entire
physiological mechanism of the body is thrown
out of gear and we have result some run
down" condition disease.
The heart, the stomach, the liver, all have their
great nerve centres which supply them with the
power to work properly When these nerve CEN
tres are weakened these important organs cannot
act properly.

Prof Phelps, of Dartmouth University, the
first physician to enunciate the principle which to-
dav is recognized as one of the foundations of the
science of nnedicine-the great enlghtening truth,
that the nerve system rules all the body's health
The nerves must have food to keep up their
strength. Their food is not the same food that
we usually know.
He sought and found the food that builds up
and restores the nerves-his celery formula, which
has become famous as Paine's Celery Compound
the celebrated nerve vitazer and tonic
Paine's Celery Compound is giving new nerve
force to thousands every day by feeding and re-
storing the nerves to their full strength. It
never fails to build up down system to

CHINESE BOY A
GOOD WITNESS

Editor Advertiser: The following in
cident came to my knowledge recently,
and pass it along as an interesting
contribution to our many race prob
lemt.
A Chinese boy about ten years old
came alone into the police court as
the principal witness in a criminal case.
The lawyer for the defense, whose
cross-examinations are considered very
severe. proceeded to question the lad
What is an oath?"
when you tell God that you will tell
all the truth" the boy replied in good
English.
WHO is God?" continued the ques-
tioning lawyer.
Here the lawyer for the prosecution
interposed. saying that this is a ques-
ton which has vainly been seeking an
answer since the creation of the world.
But the first lawyer insisted upon an
answer to the question, and this is what
the Chinese boy quietly replied:
God is King of all who will surely
punish all liars"
well. it's evident he'll do" said the
LAWYER. and proceeded to cross-exam-
inc the boy for three quarters of an
hour. without being able to discredlt
his testimony in the least
