THE QREAT flEDICINE.
MR. ALFROD BROWN,
A Protnlncnt and Popular Clllzcn, Says:
"Afler tlic Usc ol Palnc's Cclcry Compound,
I Am Now In (lic Bcst ol llcaltli."
Tho greatcst ol modern physicians, Trof.
EdwardE. I'helps, M. D., LL. D., after years
ol longpracticc and close scicntific study, gavc
lo suflcting and diseased men and women his
matveldus, lifo giving prescription, with the
conviction and positivc know lcdgc that it had
pccunar vittues and ampie powers to curc.
Thousands ol the strongcst testimonials from
the best known and most reliablc mcn and
women of our country fully sustain tlic claims
made by Dr. rhelps rcgarding his incompar
able Taine's Celery Compound.
One of the most convincing proofs furnishcd,
comes recently from a gcntlcinan widely
known in the capital city of the Dominlon of
Canada. We rcfer to Mr. Alfred Iirown, 91
O'Connor St., Ottawa, Ont. Mr. Urown's
lcttcr fully dcnionstratcs the fact that tlic
greatest sufferer may east off his or her burdcn
of diseasc and hecome wcll, strong, and happy.
It proves, too, that the great mcdicinc main
tains more fully than ever before its unrivaled
placc in the cstimation of people of wealth
and social standing as well as with tlic masscs.
Mr. Brown says:
' I acknowledge with thankfulness and
plcasurc the fact that I have been curcd of a
very painful illncss of cight years' standing by
use of I'aine's Celery Compound. I had,
during the years of my illncss, tried almost all
the advertised mcdicincs u'ithout deriving any
good results. I was also treated by several of
the best doctors of this city, hoping to find
that one of them, at least, would understand
my case.
" I was gelting worsc, and was told I was
incurablc. I was indccd in a critical condi
tion. I could not go from the house alonc,
as I was liable to suddcn collapse, I tried
hospital treatment, but 110 relief or good results
came to mc. I could not sleepj anything that
I ate increased my agonics; I was cxtremely
weak, restless, tired, and despondent; was
obliged to walk about with my hands prcssed
firmly into my left side to case my pains; my
feet and hands werc cold continually; had
inclination to vomit, had profuse, cold sweats,
quick breathing, and would be racked with
pain for hours at a time.
"After the regular use of Paine's Celery
Compound for a time, I am now in the best of
health, have good appetite, and can use any
kind of food. Thank God I am my old self
once more, all through the use of I'aine's
Celery Compound."
