Rev, air, Klusac's uw 'Sssssl imgm WST efit from the use of Palne's' celery compound I hereby endorse the prep aration as a reliable remedy that fully meets the claims made for it. It is a pleasure also to endorse the proprietors of it as one of Vermont's oldest houses whose business rcputa tlon Is above reproach. Josiah Grout. life is too short to waste one day of It sick ubed, grumpy or ailing. Indigestion, nervousness and rheu matism make one old before one"o time, take the heart out of work, and make one a burden at home and a bore to one's friends. Everyone owes it to his family to his friends, to his success and happiness to get strong and stay so. Worn-out nerves bring on more 111 health and disease .than all other causes put together. In their impoverished condition they cause the blood to be come thin, weaken the digestion and make the heart work with difficulty. The main factor In eradicating neural gia, rheumatism, nervousness, head aches and sleeplessness from the sys tem consists in making the nerves stronger. Palne's celery compound is the ncrve-lnvlgorator par-excellence. Better nervo nutrition plays the prin service at 9.30 a. m. in tho Sunday school room. j 4 Baptist.
