Mrs. /*l. A. Cummings, 140 No. 50th Street,
Philadelphia, Pa., writes: “I have occasion to do a
great deal of work, and before I used Paine’s Cel
ery Compound was troubled with frequent head
aches, pains in the back, was unable to sleep at
night, and had no appetite. I was completely run
down and unable to attend properly to my business.
A friend recommended Paine’s Celery Compound to
me, and after using two bottles I feel like another

The mahogany is one of the largest and

To fell a large mxhogany tree is one
lay's task for twro men. On account of
the wide spurs which project from the
