Betore these concerts could take plaeo It was necessary that till expenses should bo lnstued The same Dim was adopted in this part of the work as In formci veais. Tho results, howcvei, have not been such as to wanant the promotes lu pioecedlng with tho concerts; conse quently ull money lu th" hands of tho treasuter, Mr Ncubauer will be re turned to subset Ibers and tlte conceits given up for this jcar.

Sickness Driven from Another Home by Paine's Celery Compound. Women, mothers ot families, have no more light to live beyond their sttength than bc.vond their Income The greatest Injustice that women do themselves and their children Is In put ting off getting well. Headaches, ner vousness, dvspepsla and melancholia lay their leaden flngets over the whole household. Paine's colerv compound has driven sickness and gloom from Innumerable homes, where some loved member was the source of continual anxiety nnd even despair. The constuntlj- lepeated successes of this gient lnvlgorator In making people well have roused many persons who thought themselves des tined unredeemablv to lives of Imper fect health to try Palne'a ccleiy com pound.
