Ita'lroad Speed in Germany,
Germany baa made some bold experi
ments at railroad speed on the line be
tween Berlin and Gorlltz. Tbe best
performance was sixty-five and three
fourtlis miles, which was twelve miles
better than tbe highest speed of the
fastest German train, the Berlin-Hamburg
lightning express, which does
1774 miles In three and one-half hours.
Ordinarily German express trains make
forty-eight and one-half miles nn hour.
The essential difference between
Pain" oelery oompoaud and the be
wildering number of tarsaparilla and
nervines that its saocess has brought
into existence is that Palne's celery
compound famishes jnst th appropri
ate nutriment to the exhausted nerves,
snd securely build up the system
sgalnst disease, while th nnsoientiflo
remedies confuse and add to th de
rangement of th organs.
Palne's oelery compound not only
relieve, bnt effectively and perma
nently cores. .
Tli most permanent and direct oure
for debility, nervous weakness. Inn
gonr, and a "run-down" condition, is
th strong, reliable I'aine'a oelery com
pound. The rasping, irritating effect
ot a badly nourished uervoot system
opon all th organs ot the body cease
when thit medicine It nsed.
Paine't oelery compound it the most
advanoed nerve and brain (treugtbener
and restorer known to medical scieuoe.
Tbe tired, worn-out sufferer, who is
not advancing toward health, I fall
ing bank. There is no standstill in
bad health. Oue oan endure a head
ache or backache once; one oan en- j
dnre it twice, bnt the repeated sick
beadaobe and th constant pain in th
back and in th region of th heart
most be got rid of. For the permanent
and positive our ot these unhealthy
state of the body, as evinced by re
peated attack of rheumatism, neural
gia, sleeplessness, or kidney trouble,
there is nothing to b compared for a
moment witn in great discovery ot
Prof. Edward K. Phelps, M. IX, LU
D., of Dartmouth mediosl school
Value's celery compound.

Here is th experiuno Ilk tbat ot
hundred of others of Mrs. Lydla M.
Uaydeu, of Marion, lud.i
"Before commencing th us of
Palne's oelery compound I was treated
by many doctors, and tried many rem.
edles, but did not get any better. I
seemed to be all broken down. I wss

seemed to ba giviug out
I wolghed only 1 18 pound last fall
when I ooinmenoed using Pain' eel

Diual weight for me. I bav bad bet
