It should be “ belter kelter.” “ H eitor” is an old w ord for “ hang,’ probably connected with halter, an«' “ kelter" is used by okl w riters in tli^ sense o f “ ord er” or the proper state Thus Barrow, the divine, says, “ If tin organs o f p rayer be out o f kelter how can we p ra y ?” “ H elter skelter,” therefore, is literal ly “ hang order” and means, “ Oh, hanj order; let us d o It, or let it take it* chance.” Ben Jonson in “ E very Mar In Ills H um or” writes, “ H elter skelter hang sorrow , care’ll kill a oat,” ant' Shakespeare, using it to express rusl and hurry, says, “ H elter skelter havt I rode to thee.” U n d erstood Ills A rt.

Phelps, M. D., LL. IX, after years of long practice and close scientific study, gave to suffering and diseased men and women his marvelous, life giving prescription, with the conviction and positive knowledge that it had peculiar virtues and ample powers to cure. Thousands of the strongest testimonials from the best known and m<>^t reliable men and women of our country fully sustain the c laims made by Dr. Phelps regarding his incompar able Paine’s Celery Compound. One of the most convincing proofs furnished, comes recently from a gentleman widely known in the capital city of the Dominion of Canada. We refer to Mr. Alfred Brown, 91 O’Connor St., Ottawa, Ont. Mr. Brown’s letter fully demonstrates the fact that the greatest sufferer may cast off his or her burden of disease and become well, strong, and happy. It proves, too, that the great medicine main tains more fully than ever liefore its unrivaled place in the estimation of people of wealth and social standing as well as with the masses Mr. Brown says:— 441 acknowledge with thankfulness and pleasure the fact that I have been cured of a very painful illness of eight years’ standing by use of Paine’s Celery Compound. I had during the years of my illness, tried almost all the advertised medicines without deriving any good results. I was also treated by several of the best doctors of this city, hoping to find that one of them, at least, would understand my case, 441 was getting worse, and was told I was incurable. I was indeed in a critical condi tion. I could not go from the house alone as I was liable to sudden collapse. I tried hospital treatment, but no relief or good result came to me. I could not sleep; anything that I ate increased my agonies; I was extremel) weak, restless, tired, and ¡ despondent; wa: obliged to walk about with my hands gresse firmly into my left side to ease my pains; my feet and hands wrere cold continually; h inclination to vomit, had profuse, cold sweats, quick breathing, and would be racked with pain for hours at a time. 44 After the regular use of Paine’s Celerj Compound for a time, I am now in the best of health, have good appetite, and can use any kind of food. Thank God I am my old self once more, all through the use of Paine’s Celery Compound.” fertilizers will in result in sm all grains. Our books on W heat and __ m ~ Grain Culture t f r t t to farmers.
