Other Members of the Family as Warm u Advise Use of PAINE’S CELERY COMPOUND ■ j , Ad //// Av/// t' / z a uA Vx <Z * * ‘ '/g Ik// Few men in this country who have lived to “clear the eight barred gate which not many come in sight of, and fewer go over,” have enjoyed more of the blessings of a long, active, well spent life than Patrick A. Dona hoe, the founder of the Boston Pilot. In every city, village and hamlet throughout the several states and territories of the Un ion, where the Irish-American people have settled, the name of Patrick Donahoe is spoken with respect, admiration and affec tion. More than half a century ago Mr. Donahoe established the Pilot. In 1870 he engaged John Boyle O’Reilly, who was its brilliant editor for twenty years. To every good cause and to every charity lie has been a gen erous subscriber. Scarcely a Catholic church in New England that has not been a recipient of bis bounty. Mr. Donahoe is now eighty six. The following open letter, sent to Wells, Richardson & Co., is, in fact, addressed to the thous ands of friends all over the land, in whose hearts and homes Pat rick Donahoe has found so large a place. I recently suffered from pros tration brought on by a protract ed illness of a very trying char acter, and at the suggestion of friends who were believers in your remedy (Paine’s celery compound) I was induced to give it a trial. I am happy to say that the result was most satis factory , and 1 felt its good effect immediately. Hence lam able to recommeed its use in cases RANGES.

F. ■ like mine, where tMb nervous system, from any cause, is run dowi\and needs a reliable tonic. I a~i happy to state that two members of my family have used Paine’s celery compound with the most gratifying results. My daughter-in-law, Mrs. P. M. Donahoe, has received the most pronounced results from its use, whilst my son, J. Frank Dona hoe, the organist of tlie Cathe dral, is loud iu its praise, having found it a great help in Regain ing his’strengt.h from overwork in his profession. Yes, I believe in Paine’s cel ery compound. Patrick Donahoe. Three-fourths of all the aches, pains and disabilities that aged persons suffer from arise plainly from retarded circulation. The blood stream gets choked with an accumulation of waste mat ter that declares its presence in twinges of rheumatism, lumbaga neuralgia and inability to sleep. All these unnatural conditions can be corrected and permanent ly done away with by vigorously cleansing the blood and regulat ing the tardy circulation. Paine’s celery compound is pre-eminent ly capable of doing this beyond any other remedy. There is nothing vacue about the sort of “good health” that is promised by Paine’s celery compound and vouched for by men and women who have used it. It means, among other things, firmer nerves, completer diges tion, sweeter breath and more regular bodily functions. Paine’s celery compound secures these where other remedies fail, be cause Paine’s celery compound is VICK S SEEDS r"u.ow THREE RAMBLER ROSES CRIMSON Will make a mairniflcent hedpe. beautiful nhade for the piazza, or a charming bed.

V. the discovery of a great physi cian. who knew all that the school and text books could teach him, but more than that, he knew sick men and women, as few physicians in any age have known them. Prof. Edward E. Phelps, M. D., LL. D., of the Dartmouth medical school, was able to drive out disease from the system, because he khew where the disease was lodged and how to help the excretory organs, instead of confusing them so’as in uiy illogical reme dies do in their effort to cleanse the blood. Paine’s celery com pound encourages and strength ens the kidneys, and enables them to cleanse the blood of its waste, poisonous matters that are the direct cause of drewnsi ness, listlessness, melancholia, blood diseases, wasting sickness es, headaches and that general “run down” condition that opens the door to definite organic diseases of the heart, kidneys or stomach, especially when a per son is advanced in years and no longer possessed of the abundant energy that characterizes youth alone. Paine’s celery compound makes the blood a bright red color, increases its volume in the arteries and quickens its circula tion, and enables a nerve-tired person to sleep eight or nine hours at a stretch. Every man or woman whose nervous strength is at all overtaxed, or whose life is a busy one in many directions, will feel the invigor ating, vitalizing effect of Paine’s celery compound, and see his or her health mend from the first use of this greatest of all known invigorators and remedies. WOW CONVERT The Lee Coiloty Joilrnal flow For Candler. if ' HOTSHOT FOR ATKINSON Gives Forceful Reasons For Change of Front. In common with a number of papers in the state, the Journal hm a number of times spoken of Judge Spencer Atkinson as an ex cellent gentleman. In making these comments we were guided by the remarks of those who had knotv n him and had spoken of h>m in the highest terms. After making his canvas and writing a few Etters we are con strained to change our opinion ot the man and givH it a* our best judgment that he is utterly unfit to be governor ot the great state of Georgia His letter ; n reply to the courteous note of Col • Cand ler, in which he made a bitter per sonal attack unon that brave, hon est and gallant soldier, shows to what a depth a designing politi cian can stoop. It m«y have been that at one time Judge Atkinson was a good man. but the continued associa tions with that gang of political marplots down at Brunswick led by Jake Beach and others of his ilk, has corrupted him completely and has made him utterly unfit to fill the governor’s chair. Contrasted with him is that excellent gentleman, who never loses his temper, who believes in wisdom, justice and moderation, a man of the people, who knows the people’s wants and the peo ple’s needs. Col, Candler is not tied up with a gang of corrupt place hunters, but is the candidate of the people agair st the gang w';o want to control. Governor Atkinson has made a good governor, but the people are not willing that he name bis suc cessor and Atkinson, together with his running mate, Berner, will be buried under an avalanche off votes. Here's to Col. Candler, the noblest Roman of them all, and may he be elected by a hundred thousand majority.—Leo County Journal.
