lulled It by beating its head against
the eiiue of the box.
The one warm day that prevailed
last week had beguiled the snake from
lis winter quarters, and In moving
about the swamp It was caught by the
sudden freeze before It could get back
to its hole. It was frozen as stiff as a

the conliH t with the horse's body, and
later the warm nest in the sled blank

it move so that Fuller's attention was
called to it. The skin shows that the
snake 'would have been fully seven

Sister who won so much credit by her
untiring efforts In nursing the wound
ed after the Maine explosion, is one of
more tban a thousand nurs.es who have
testified to the wonderful results of
Paine's Celery Compound among their
slclc, debilitated and exhausted pa
tients. Sister Cartel herself was ruied of
one of the most serious affections of
the liver by only two bottles or this
marvellous restorative.
Paine's Celery Compound has ac
complished more in behalf of suffering
humanity than any other discovery In
tho history of medical science. It has
rescued from a sick lied thousands of
despairing victims of disease. Men
and women in all walks of life have
been permanently cured by its use.
Old anil young, the feeble and the In
firm, praise its curative powers. It is
tlie one true nerve tonic. If taken in
time, it never falls to restore to activ
ity weakened kidneys and a sluggish
liver. The body has been made foul
and unhealthy with impure blood and
bile that originate hi a diseased liver.
Cirrhosis, jaundice, fatty degeneration,
cancer and dropsy often result fioni a
diseased liver. The appetite Is Im
paired, tlie blood Is filled witli poison
ous principles, the skin becomes yel
low, ellgestlon is deranged, a morbid
condition arises, emaciation sets In
followed by a general feeling of debil
ity. Those are the main symptoms of
a diseased liver. The liver, stomach
and kidneys are tho great nerve cen
tres. Paine's Celery Compound never
falls to restore them to healthy and
vigorous action. 11 purifies the blood,
tones up the system, eradicates all poi
sons, nourishes and invigorates muscle
tissues and keeps the body healthy and
free from l'oul impurities. Paine's
Celery Compound gives immediate and
permanent relief to all who suffer from
a disordered liver.
The best physicians openly endorse
it, use it, lecommend it, and authorize
the public use of their statements that
Paine's Celery Compound, In case af
ter case, cures rheumatism and kindred
diseases, purifies the blood, regulates
the stomach, liver, bowels and kidneys
and rejuvenates the fagged-out or dis
eased nervous system.
Thousands of letters have been re
ceived by the proprietors of Paines's
Celery Compound and by newspapers
and medical journals from men and
women in every walk of life, all telling
one expeiience the immediate relief
and perfect cure effected by Paine's
Celery Compound.
