The NERVOUS" Condition.

The term nervous is broad term used to
denote diseased condition of the nerves that is
very common The disease is debility or weak
ness that affects especially the nervous system
There may be well-dehned trouble, yet those
who suffer with nervousness will complain OF
many things, mental depression, inability to rest
WE'LL twitching, aching limbs, and hundreds OF
nervous disorders Sleep is not refreshing and
the patient wakes UP tired. Although the lungs
heart, liver and kidneys are sound, yet there
seems to be serious disease III these vital organs
and sufferers with weak nerves feel that all their
physical powers are failing.
Nervousness is wholly the result of wear and
tear of the nervous system, caused by irregular
habits, longcontipued anxiety or worry, too great
business responsibility and any cause which tends
to diminish the vigor of the body.
The beautiful delicacy Of the system
can be appreciated when it Is considered that the
fibres do not exceed one-hfteen-hundredth
of an inch in diameter.
Each of these nerve 6bres proceeds from the
centre with which it is connected to the
point at which it terminates, without uniting with
any other.
So delicate is the structure and so intimately
associated are its parts, that the nervous system
can be deranged easily, and diseased or weakened.
Often sufferers from nervousness do not
realize that their need nourishing
until the condition is of long standing be-
fore acting. Here is case in point.
Brooklyn, N. Y, Aug 2, 1so4.-"t affords
me pleasure to voice my appreciation of
truly wonderful remedy. 1t cured me of
nervousness and stomach trouble of long
standing when all other remedies failed"
Geo. w. Davren, 5401 Fifth Ave.
Victims of nervousness-those whose very life
hangs heavy on their hands, depressed by their
existence, or borne down by stress of overwork;
Paines Celery Compound stands ready to build
the nerves back to their healthy condition-to put
an end to sleeplessness, and to drive away every
ache and pain.
Two days treatment with Paine's Celery Com
pound will give proof of its marvellous powers.
For II years this famous prescription has been
the most universally used tonic in the world. Tt
has stood the test of time Physicians constantly
use and prescribe it. No prescription has ever
been formulated that equaled it in curative power
Remember ths,-Pane's Celery Compound is
the prescription of one of the most famous physi-
clans this country has ever known, and all repu-
table Druggists sell and recommend it.

VIII Try Double Service.

better passenger service on the River
Route Of the Missouri Pacific returned
from st. Louis Friday morning. The
two committees we're heard by General
Manager A. W. Sullivan and General
Passenger Agent H. @. Townsend.
After hearing the committees and
after various computations, Mr..
Sullivan said that he had grave
doubts as to the profiableness Of the
new train; that 1t would cost el65
per day or $1,000 per month and
would require seventeen passengers
per mile 10 order to pay expenses.
he said be realized that the present
service is unsatisfactory and that the
people deserve better; but that it
would be impossible to give better
service at any very heavy loss. He
said that he was willing to make
trial of double service for three
months, and If it paid expenses or
showed encouraging signs Of paying
expenses in the near future the
service would be continued.
After consulting the wishes Of the
committee Mr.. Sullivan announced
that the new train would run about
as follows: one of the Main Line
night trains from st, Louis will
carry the sleeper to Jefferson City
and set it cut At about $50 a M,
after the arrival Of the Fast Mail,
the new tFain carrying the sleeper
will make up and leave Jefferson

the expenses OF right-of- way, SO that
the work may he no longer delayed.
Many have refused to give the right.

even to say what amount Of damages

that large part Of the right.oi.waY
may yet be freely given, IL is known
that condemnation proceedings will

instances and these subscriptions are
to meet these cases.
The time is so short that no
fdrther delay is to be thought Of.
Every member VI the committee
