Who Was Almost Crazed with
It is well known that terrible rheumatism,
sciatica, and neuralgia cause more helpless
ness, acute suffering, and agony, than any of
the other diseases that alllict humanity. The
¿peat medicinal virtues o f Taine’s Celery Com
pound make it the only trustworthy specific
for the cure of all forms of rheumatism and
neuralgia. Thousands of strong testimonial
letters from the most prominent people of tin*
’ land, prove that Paine’s Celery Couipoum
has banished these terribly fatal troiil Its when
all other treatment has failed. Mrs. Mar
garet Bethel, of Braineid, Minn., after thirty
years of agonizing tortures had a desire to end
her life, if it was the will of Ileaven; she al
most prayed for the time to lay it down.
I leaven-directed, she made use of Paine’s
Celery Compound, and is enjoying true life
once more. She says: —
“ For thirty years I have been a great suf
ferer from neuralgia in the head, and also
with rheumatism in the whole body. I l>egan
taking Paine’s Celery Compound and soon
found I was much better. Before taking the
Compound, my life was such a burden that I
almost prayed to lay it down. I was bedfast
every two weeks with horrible pain in the
head, back, and neck, until 1 was almost
crazed. I am able to do harder work and
more of it today than for twenty-five years. I
am really enjoying life again, thanks to
Paine’s Celery Compound. I am satisfied
that my life has been prolonged many years

wood that is likely to winter kill. In
the dry no tion -; of the north west, how-
eve:’, as 1’roiV-s.- or 0 . P*. Waldron of the
North Dakota experiment «nation has
bliown, the winter killing of fruit trees
is “due to the drying up of the tu igs so
that in spring there Is not enough mois
ture left In ih* plant to rem-.v the litc
processes.” Professor Waldron recom
mends, therefore, that orchards in that
region be planted in deep soil, natural
ly mellow and moist, and cultivated
from the ba; inning to the end of the
season In order to retain as much mois
ture in the soil a-- po.-.'l’ale.' To further
prevent the evaporation of the mois
ture from the ground in winter it is
recommend d that a light layer of
straw or sim ilar material be spread on
the ground about the 1st of Novem
ber. “This covering prevents the es
cape of moisture, as the drying winds
cannot come in contact with the soil,
and also the escape of the heat, thus
delaying freezing for a considerable
time and shortening the period in
which the plant 1» losing moisture
without m-Tins of supplying the loss.”
The application o f this mulch has been
found of the greatest importance in the
northwest, “saving whole plantations
in regions where unprotected trees
were practically nil kill* d.”

I bequeath to ray ehildien Scrofula with all its
attendant horrors, humiliation and suffering. This is a
strange legacy to leave to posterity; a heavy burden to
place upon the shoulders of the young.
This treacherous disease dwarfs the body and hinders
the growth and development of the faculties, and the
child bom of blood poison, or scrofula-tainted parentage,
is poorly equipped for life's duties.
Scrofula is a disease with numerous and varied
symptoms; enlarged glands or tumors about the neck
and armpits, catarrh of the head, weak eyes and dreacMul
skin eruptions upon different parts of the body show the
presence of tubercular or scrofulous matter in the blood, This dangerous
and stealthy disease entrenches itself securely in the system and attacks
the bones and tissues, destroys the red corpuscles of the blood, resulting in
white swelling, a pallid, waxy appearance of the skin, loss of strength and
a gradual wasting away of the body.
S. S. S. combines CK>th purifying and tonic properties, and is guaran
teed entirely vegetable, making it the ideal remedy in
all scrofulous affections. It purifies the deteriorated
blood, makes it rich and strong and a complete and
permanent cure is soon effected. S. S. S. improves

In the days when Edwin A. Abbey was
n small boy he had the habit of crit
ically scrutinizing every dish that was
set before him at the table, much to the
embarrassment of his family. His fre
quent dismissals from the table were
ineffectual, and something had to lie
done lo work a cure, says the Ladies'
Home Journal.
“Eddie." said hi* mother one day. “I
heard Hue speak about going to t'ousiu
M artha's for dinner next Sunday, and
I am afraid v.e will have to make tl.ee
stay ut home until thee kurus polite
ness at the table. Thy pa king at food
would mortify me.”
This threatened deprivation reduced
the hoy to tears, and a fte r he had sol
emnly promised' not to look at every
thing according to his habit be was
told that he might go.
The day come, and a large and merry
family gathered to do justice to a
tempting meal. Each of the little folk*
had a glass of delicious rich country
milk at ills place.
Noticing that Edwin was surrepti
tiously glancing at his glass, Mrs. Ab
bey observed with a well understood
meaning. "Edw in, why is thee not
drinking thy milk?”
W ith a determined air the boy hasti
ly picked up the glass and. shutting
Ills eyes as tight us possible, gulped
its contents down.
This sudden procedure attract* d the
attention of all the guests, nnd. fear
ing at least a severe scoidiug. the boy
exclaimed: “I did it. mother. I—I swal
lowed it.”
“Swallowed what?” hurriedly asked
Mrs. Abbey, now more alarmed than
amused.
“Those two flies that got in my milk,
but I swallowed them, mother- 1 swal
lowed them.”

The new star that flashed out in

3.44*0 years to reach the earth. The

four minutes of arc In a few months.
Until now explosions o f hydrogen have
seemed to explain the blazing up of
suns in two or three day* to thousand*

the Incandescent gas from these ex
plosions seems incapable of traveling
more than • few hundred miles per
second, and the Perseus nebula has «x-
tended with vastly greater velocity.
