Benefit He Received from

Paine's Celery Comi

On December 14, last, the proprie¬tors of Paine's Celery Compound foundthe following letter among Iheir mail :

They had no correspondence on thetuibjcct; they did not know Mr. Mus-liain, except by reputation. Like everytestimonial of this great medicine thatwas ever printed, it came to them un¬

solicited and unsought. Thc proprie¬tors of Paine's Celery Compound havenever found it necessary to manufac¬ture or edit any testimonial. They havenever found it necessary by any trickoí advertising to promote mythicalmen in far off place·· to positionsin legislatures or offices «thai never

heard of them. It is the one of allremedies thc popularity of which has.increased on account of what it docs,instead of what it says.

It appears that Fire Chief Musham,the head of the Chicago Firo Depart¬ment, which is thc mode] of the world,has been for forty years in thc service;as brave as a lion, industrious, cool-headed, with a record for fighting «1res,and quite as distinguished for nerve

and generalship as other heroesupon whom nations hnve_ bestowedpublic honors for service in no lesshazardous undertakings. Chief Mus¬ham, in tbe spring of 1901, obtained

With Perfect Nerves andGood Blood He HasWon the Highest Po¬sition in His Calling.

the highest recognition that it is pos¬sible for a man in his business to have.promotion for merit to the head ofthe finest fire-fighting brigade on earth.Hc began at thc bottom.Read what he says of thc medicine

that has also enabled thousands ofother men and women to achieve whatby intelligence ar.d ambition they were

cut out to do.And bear in mind that what Paine's

Celery Compound has done in the caseof Marshal «Musham. and for thou¬sands o«' others who have voluntarilyexpressed iheir gratitude in similarwords, it will do with unvarying cer¬

tainty in the case of every personwhose nervous system, from whatevercause, begins to show the effects ofdisease, and whose symptoms manifestthemselves in the various distressingways that are so familiar to everyreader."Gentlemen :.Your remedy, Paine's Celery Com¬

pound, is all that you claim for it, andis·certainly a boon to humanity. Ihave tried it. and have secured greatbenefits from it when suffering fromindigestion or its companion, nervous¬ness. I am told that many of the boysin the department arc using Paine'sCelery Compound with very satisfac¬tory results. Ï can heartily recommendPaine's Celery Compound for thosewho suffer from lack,of energy, ner¬vousness, indigestion and similar ail¬ments. Your? trulv,
