The Great Spring Health Giver
Makes Sick People Well.
A Prominent C'lrrg-ymatt Tell
How lie Kacapcd from Ilia
! 1 l-rile.
When spring comes with it gentle
howr, It balmy air, its bright sun
shin and bursting bud, it too often
brings to our home scene of suffer
ing and physical decay.
The seed of disease which were Im
perceptibly germinated during th win
ter months, hav developed and plant
ed in th ytem danger that now call
for our Instant care and attention.
Neglect and procrastination will only
deepen existing perils and lead trt
death.
Before the advent of spring, you
must hav noted symptoms, perhaps of
Indigestion, . dyspepota, rheumatism,
neuralgia, kidney disease, liver com
plaint functional Irregularities, or ner
vous disorder.
Take warning sufferers! the symp
tom you experience are algnal of
disease. Delay not another day; hesita
tion and indecision on your part may
forever seal your fat. If you hav
already made, effort to hanlh your
trouble by th use of other medicrtne
and the treatment of physicians, and
theae hav failed, w counsel you to put
your full trust in that great disease
banisher .Patne' ICelery Compound.
It use for a week or two win convince
you that you have truly commenced
a new existence. Rev. W. E. Aldrich,
a leading and prominent clergyman of
Brlmlnghara, Ala., say:
"I bad been afflloted for ten years
wrth what I thought to be heart dis
ease, but after having the physician
eaxmine me. I learned that I was al
most dead from indigestion. They told
me tbey could give me medicine that
would relieve me but there waa no
permanent cure. Then I began wing
Paine' Celery Compound which gave
me immediate . relief, and I am now
well and enjoying good health. I can
recommend Palne'n Celery Compound
to he the beet medicine for all ail
ments; If people will use the Compound
freely, they will hav no doctor' bills
to py.H --'''
