bles. Pain' Celery .Compound has no
equal. '
The credit of ' Paine's Celery Com
pound ha advanced to such a high
eminence that amongst the millions
who use It, we find the name of mil
lionaire, bankers, professional men,
wealthy merchant and women of note.
All have made It their, chosen remedy
for the cur of chronic diseases and for
the banishment of the little aliments
that often make life miserable.
Paine' Celery Compound In the
opinion of the .leading druggist and
physicians, ha displaced nearly all the
common advertised medicines of the
day. This great work ha been accom
plished only by merit, and genuine
cure. Rheumatism, neuralgia, and
nervous disorder take flight In upring
