An event of exceptional interest, and
one which should attract, widespread
attention will be the lecture by Miss
Myra Floyd Dock, the, celebrated au
thority o; Forestry, in the board of
trade rooms April 1G.
Miss Dock probably knows more
about trees and forests and their pre
servation than any other person in the
United States, excepting Dr. Kothrock
himself. She is an enthusiast on the
subject of saving our woods and the
planting of trees. Probably Miss
Dock would not feel half as much con
cerned about the "ripping" up of of
ficials inside tho City Hall as she
would about the proposed ripping, up of
tho tine trees outside.
Her lecture will be illustrated, nnd
she will show the most beautiful pic
tures of green gludds as forest bowers,
and famous woodland spots in all
hinds. She is considered so valuable
in her work as to be sent for to ad
dress audiences In London as well as
in every prominent city on the conti

Paine's celery compound was first
prescribed by Prof. Kdward K. Phelps,
"M. D., IL. I)., of Dartmouth College,
in his private practice. It has .been
recommended by learned specialists in
nervous diseases. By its merit alone
it lias earned the highest commenda
tions from physicians, tho press and
the public. It not only regulates the
nervous sy&tem. but nourishes it; sends
more and better blood to supply the
wasted nerves and takes the killing
strain off the kidneys.
When pains appear in different parts
of the body and one feels tired and
depressed, thp use of Paine's celery
compound will drive away the rheu
matism pain or the attack of indiges
tion and correct the failing appetite,
which keeps pace so closely with tho
digestive powers.
Paine's celery compound has proved
itself to be tho most advanced remedy
yet discovered for tired brains and
worn out nerves.
Nerve tension is disguised under a
good many symptoms that lead
thoughtless persons lo apply some use
less local remedy when the only last
ing relief will come from purilicd
blood, kidneys o'-used to work, stom
ach secretins .iindance of digestive
Juices and ioned-up state of the
nerves. ,
For till i there is no need of fur

he best test of the worth of
.-'nine's celery compound is to use it
yourself.
