The general complaint now among Intelli gent women Is that they are hurried und driven nnd fretted almost out of their senses by the demands upon their time nnd strength. No wonder , then , the average woman has lost the capacity for sound sleep , good di gestion nnd the freedom from aches and pains that follow healthy organic functions. Many years of suffering might be avoided , weary months of lost time put to good serv ice nnd thousands of lives saved If persons who do not sleep well and those with over worked brains and nerves -would take Palna'a celery compound. In the euro of nervous diseases this remedy has again nnd again depionstrnted Ha power to combat thcso tenacious ailments. It Is to general poor health that we are to look for the rnusn of headaches , rheumatism and neuralgia and to overcome these troubles It is the general health that must bo raised. V Sick headaches that recur so periodically with most women and mo so grievous an allllctlon should lie treated as duo to low ered nervous tone , and u thorough Invigora- tloti of the body should be undertaken with Paine's celery compound.
