Every civilized man does from five to twenty-five times as much brain work as was demanded when the nation leld Lalf as many People as at present. Dolefut prophets argue from this that physical @eterioration witl spread and heart, stomach and Berve’ diseases will continue to multiply until we shall be a nation of wrecks. : ‘The doleful ones are wrong. Man has not been eudgeling his brain so hard without learuing something. He has learned, for instance, that na- ture has provided substances to revive an exhausted nervous system, and that they are combined to the best advantage in Palne's celery compound. Great griefs, anxieties, long. suspense and tm- mense steain of work break down the mind. and body. Every one understands that. What is not 80 clear is the wasting, wearing, exhausting effect of petty troubles—things so email that they often attract no notice.

It does not require a scientifically trained mind to see the importance of this contribution to mod- en medicine. Let anybody stop to count the Bervous people he knows, and to reflect upon the conditions that produce nerve-degeneration, and he will wee how vast a benefit Prof. Phelps conferied upon the human race. An inquiry by reporters of The Star shows how ‘Aiighiy Paine’s celery compound is valued in Wash-. ington. The citizens interviewed tell how they struggled with disease until they had quite despair- ed of recovery. ‘Thea Paine’s celery compound came to the rescue. ‘That acute and long-standing indigestion or rheu matism, nervous prosiration, sleeplessness, neural- gia or sick headache may be promptly and radicully cured may seem ‘too good to be true.’” No right- thinking humane person will find fault with the skepticism of a sufferer who has been disappointed & hundred times. : Yet it is confidently believed that what the peo- ple of Washington sy {s suflicient to convince even the most despondest invalids that Paine's celery compound is the medical wonder of the world. fame—Paine’s TOLD IN THE STUDIO.

AS HEARTY AS EVER. How Paine’s Celery Compound Ended Miss Mahoney’s Dreadfal Hendaches. Few ladies are better known or more generaiiy Fespected than Miss Georgeanna Mahoney, who re- Sides at No. 8221 P street northwest. She Is of amiable disposition, and while naturally retiring, “she does not hesitate in expressing herself in behalf of her brothers and sisters, who may find valuable Advice m her words. “For seven or elght years I suffered as much as mortal woman ever Wid," she siid to The Star re- porter. “I was constantly afflicted with pains in my bead and back. There was a steady pain in one aide of my stomach and I went to one doctor aft another, but could find no relief. They prescribed for me right along, Vut none of their medicine did me any good. I don’t know whether it was neural- gia that had gotten control of me or not, but my pains were; just as acute as neuralgic pains could Dossibly be. “I was desperate nearly and had almost given Bp all hopes of ever getting well, or even finding Fellef again, when my attention was called to Palne’s celery compound. 1 purchased a bvvttle and began taking it, without much confidence in It, but after a few doses I felt a great deal better. I kept it up, and the result was that I was soon free of all my pains and aches and enjoying as beurty health as I ever did in my life. “If everybody knew the virtues of Paine’s celery compound as,I Jo I know there wouldn't be half as many miserable peopte in the world.”” A Chat With Mrs. Cragg. ‘Mrs. Annie £. Cragg is a well-known resident of Northwest Waskington, and lives. in a comfortable tnd attractive residence at No. 1409 Corcoran @treet. She has a pleasant, sunuy disposition and {s popular among a very wide circle of friends. Bbhe became a victim to rheumatism some time 8g0, and underwent all the misery which such a Visitation brings. “I believe my ailment was caused by the disor- ered condition of my blood,” said Mrs. Cragg in onversation with a reporter for The Star, “and it seemed to attack every bone and muscle I pos- Besxed. I tricd everything in the way of medicine that was suggested to re, but nothing gave me any felief until I got a bottle of Paine’s celery com- pound. After taking it I began to feel much bet- ter, and did not suffer anything like the pain I formerly had experienced. I continued its use, and the relief I received from it was steady and con- thous. I regard Paine’s celery compound as a splendid medicine, and am sure it will do every- thing that ts claimed for {t, so far as rheumatism fs concerned.” Why Her Skin is Rosy. Mrs. E. L.

NO ROOM FOR DOUBT, MEX? "0 THE OLD Flat Joseph B, Dellamico Swears by Paine's Celery Compound, Would Give 2 House to the Man Who Recommended It—Long Agony of Neuralgia Ended. Ore of the best known and most capable young printers in Washington is Mr. Joseph B. Dellamico. He served his time several years ago with Ramsey & Bisbee and has held cases since In leading private establishments and the government printing office. He resides at 150 F stroet northeast, and next to the old flag and the Constitution he swears by Paine’s celery compound: “About a year or so ago,” sald Mr. Delamico, When a Star reporter saw him at his residence, “my health got in a terrible condition and it got to be’a question with me how long I would last Vefore beirg carried out to the cemetery.

I think Paine’s celery compound ts by long odds the greatest medicine in tie world.” HASIT AND HEALTH. to give Limba brick How a Change of One Affected the Other—Mr. Stevens’ Experience. The rotund figure of Mr. Willium Stevens is well known in Georgetown. He has a jolly word for everybody and is as populsr as he is pleasant. Not long azo he established himself in business at the northeast corner of P and 32d streets, and It Was at his store that a Star reporter conversed with bim, “Up to the time I opened here I had always led a very active life,” said Mr. Stevens. “I was continually on the go, and my muscles were conse- quently Kept in movement. When I started this store my eutire habit changed. I was compelled to be here all the time to attend to it, and pretty soon I began to feel the effects of it. “The sedentary life made me weak and listless. My nervous system got out of order and I ouly slept when nature played out. I'd lie in bed and toss around for hours without being able to get a map. If I got up and read or took a walk it was mo use; I couldn't get sleep A few weeks ago some friend of mine sugested that I ought to try Paine’s celery compound. “I never bad had any contidence in these adver- tised medicines, but I concluded I'd get come, for I was willing to try anything in order to get re- lief, You may nor beteve It, but by the time I had taken half a bottle I feit its spiendid effects.

A Little Talk With Mrs. M. S. Shat- tuck, the Brilliant Artist. Many of the most tasteful homes in Washington where refinement and culture have dictated the selection of the decorations and furnishings have among their most valued possessions pictures from the brash of Mrs. M. S. Shattuck. She is a colorist of great merit and has a happy faculty for produc- ing striking creations.

I was suffering from general debility.

Miss Howe is Once Again the Life of a Select Circle. It would be difficult to discover a prettier young lady than Miss’ Minnie Howe, and no social func- tion in Southeast Washington, where she lives with her parents, at 421 8th street, is considered a suc- cess without her. She is as winning in her ways as she is pleasing in her personality, and some months ago when she grew sick and was forced to give up the innocent amusements the young are go fond of, everybody who knew her felt sorry and regretful. Today, however, she is as bright and full of vigor as ® young girl can be and she was a picture of health when she modestly greeted a Star reporter. When she was asked if she would mind stating in a public manner what she thought of Paine’s celery compound, she hesitated for a long time. i “I don’t like to have my name in the paper,”” she said shyly, “but if it can do any good and lead others te experience relief from their suf- ferings such as I did 1 guess I will try to stand it. I don’t know that I had any well-defined complaint when I began taking Paine’s celery compound, but I was what you might call all run down. “I had no appetite and I was very weak. As soon os I began taking the medicine I began to feel better, and it did me so much good that the other members of the family tried it, too, and they all found it as beneficial in improving their health as I did. I think it 1s splendid for weak and debilitated people, and if you want to print what I say you may do £0.” MRS. THAYER AT HOME. She Tclis How Paine’s Celery Com- pound Benefited Her and Mr. Thayer. Mrs. George H. Thayer resides at No. 680 K street northeast with her husband, who is em- ployed in the foundry of the government printing | office. To a Star reporter Mrs. Thayer was loud in her praises of Paine’s celery compound. “I was a sufferer from that common complaint of mankind, dyspepsia,” said Mrs. Thayer, “and I found little pleasure in living. I tved on the most simple kind of food,and even this disagreed with me. To ad@ to my distress, my liver got out of order, and I experienced all the woes of biliousness in its most aggravated form. Physicians prescribed for me, but I could not get relief, and at last I deter- mined to try Paine’s celery compound, of which I had seen so much favorable mention in the news- papers. “As soon as I began to take it I improved, and after using a bottle or two my ratural appetite returned, and T assimilated my food as easily as a healthy girl could. All my liver trouble disap- penred, too. My husband was weak and debilitated about the same time, and he also took Paine'’s cel- ery compound, with splendid results. I cannot rec- ommend the medicine too highly for those who suf- fer like I did and are in need of @ restorative and strengthening tonic.’’ YOUR MORNING MAIL, THE GEORGETOWN ORACLE Hardships of the Men Who Bring tt to You, CARRIER BANE'S DEVOMION 10 DUTY Freed _ From Paine’s Celery Compound. Rheumatism by MRS. BANE TELLS ABOUT IT Of all the vast army of assistants employed by the United States government none is more untir- ing or diligent in loyalty to duty than the letter carriers. Upon them rests the grave responsibility of taking care of the correspondence of the nation during the interim between the time it leaves the writers untii it fs safely deposited in the keeping of those for whom it is intended. In the sacks which the busy men In grty carry around slung from their shoulders one could discover the epitome of contemporary life if the chance was given. ‘The missives they contain hold the sacred secrets ef all. Love and hate, humor and pathos, gladness and gorrow, state and commercial secrets are all intrusted alike to the honor and fidelity of the letter carriers, and they know nothing that means an obstacle. Rain or shine, hot or cold, in caln and in tempest they pursue thelr daily round, and they probably experience more exposure to the fick! clements than any other class of men on earth. Even the strongest constitutions break down uader such a strain, and-one of the most frequent ene- mies to 2 letter carrier's health is rheumatism. He will go out on a clear morn! nd before his route is half completed he will be soaked to the skin with rain, from head to foot, without any op- portunity to dry or change bs garments. One of the most industrious and popular of the letter carriers in Waskington is Mr. J. 8. Bane, who resides, with his uttractive wife and pret Ue one, at G11 Gth street northwest, in ciose proximity to the city post office. He was a terrible s@fterer from rheumatism for several years, but he no longer knows what it means. “My husband was a martyr to rheumatism in Its worst form,’” sid Mrs. Bane to a Star reporter. think he first got it when he was traveling through the country from on* place to another and changing his siveping plaice every little while as well as be- ing exposed to the drafts in theaters, for he was an actor before he came here and was made a letter carrier. The exposure he was subjected to in his present position increased the disease and you can have ny idea how much hé suffered. “The exerutiating pains attacked him in all his Joints, but especially tn his knees and ankles. ‘hey Were somewhat intermittent in their nature, and at times almost left itm and he would think he was ing to get well, but they invariably returned in a more aggravated form. “At last he concluded to try Paine’s celery com- pound, and you ought to see him now. Did it do him good? Indeed, it did! It cured him of rheu- matism absolutely, and now he doesn’t know what an ache or a pain means. We both know what a splendid medicine *s celery compound is and you can feel asvured that we are thankful we found it out. Mr. Bane always keeps it in the house In case of an emergency and wouldn't be without it for anything. LIKE A HIVE OF BEES. Mr. Brewton Hits the Nail on the Head Once Again. William W. Brewton has hammered nails in pretty nearly every building erected in West Wash- ington for the past twenty years. His services’ as a carpenter are wlways In demand by builders, be- cause he is not only a careful workman, but an ergetic and rapid one as well. He resides at 1505 33d street northwest, where he is also interested in a notion store. ‘Three years sgo I had tye grip,’ said Mr. Brewton to a reporter for ‘The Star. “I was a mizhty sick man for a long time, and few of my friewds expected to see me around again. I man- aged to pull turough in a sort of a way, though, vat that was about all. After I got out ef bed I suffered alsnost as bad I did in it. I bad a con- tiuual buziing in my head that pretty nearly set me crazy. + “It was with me all the time, and if I woke up at night it was Just as thouzh my pillow was. a hive ful of angry bees. Then I had- pains all through my body, and especially in my back. I couldn't eat with any satisfaction, and I suffered from something like the piles. “Thad never had the piles in my life, and didn’t know what to make of such symptoms, but I at- tributed them to the failure of my stomach and bowels to act right and the constipation that re- sulted. I concluded te try Paine's celery com- pound, of which J kad heard such favorable men- tion, and I have tharked my stars ever since that I did. I took four bottles regularly, according to directions, beforé eich meal and before going to bed, and all my miseries left me in a hurry. My head became clear again, and you have no idea what a relief it wrs. “All my ‘pain left me an] my system began to work with a regularity that was delightful. Since then, whenever I feel anywrys unwell, I take Paine’s celery compound, and it has never failed to make me feel ali right again. I keep it on hand all the time, and wouldn't be without it. The pills that come with it are excellent, too. When- ever I eat a hearty meal and feel a littie oppress- ed in my stomach afterward, I take one of those pills and the oppressicn leaves me directly. “I have advised many people to take Paine’s celery compound, and I never heard one of them say anything but good of it after using it. It is simply a specific, in my opinion, for'a run-down or disorganized system, and I can’t speak too highly in its favor.” : THE DRUGGISI’S ADVICE. Mr. Cissel Recommended Paine'’s Celery Compound to a Nervous Cu tomer. ‘The drug store at the corner of New York avenue and 10ti street northwest bas for years enjoyed a high reputation for the character of its. supplies and the skill of the pharmacists engaged. Its proprietor, Mr. Eugene B. Cissel, is one of the oldest and most favorably known of Washington apothecaries and possesses independent views on the subject of his profession. “We have many customers for Paine’s celery compound,” he said to The Star reporter, “and I hear those who use it speak of its effect in thetr particular cases in highly favorable terms. There is an tmmense amount of {t sold, I have no doubt, and it is unquestionably highly thought of, espe- cially by those suffering from stomach troubles and nervousness. I have heard it highly com- mended in constipation. “The other day an old gentleman came in and complained of being unable to write on account of nervousness. His hand shook, he said, so that he could hardly held his pen. I told him he might try Paine's celery compound, as I bad heard it recommendeu by those who had experienced 1t: good effects in such cases, and he bought a bottle. A DETECTIVES DISCOVERY. Mr. Brockenborough Found a Means of Increasing His Power to Work. Lawyers and tradesmen who have difficulty in recovering their goods from persons who secure and then fail to pay for them are well acquainted with Edmund Brockenborough, the private .detec- tive. He is noted for his courage, and is regarded as a valuable aid to the preservation of morals and good orde: in the national capital. He lives with bis family in a neat little home at No. 1725 ‘9th street. “I was a victim to dyspepsia in its worst form, he said to a Star reporter. “Everything I ate dis- agreed with me. Even dry bread and weak tea acted as badly with my internal organs as mince ple and buttermilk would have done. I was nerv- ous and out of sorts all the time, and instead of growing better I got worse. I tried everything that came along that was recommended to give me re- Mef, but to no purpose. “At last I got a bottle of Paine’s celery com- pound. After the first two or three doses I began to feel like a new man, and I kept taking it and getting better all the time. I took several bottles, and found my health was completely restored. When I stopped taking the compound none of my old mptoms returned, and I have never had any trou- ble with my stomach since. I attribute my present vigor to Paine’s celery compound alone, and I be- Meve anybody who was troubled like I was will get Just as much relief from it as I did.” John §, Blackford; Whom Every- body Knows and “Respects, —a He Found in Paine’s Celery Compound Final Relief From the Torment of Dyspepsia of Long Standing. ‘That. portion of the naticnal capital built on the hills and heights that rise from the western bank of Rock creek is now officially known as West Washington, but to old citizens of the District,and especially to those who live within the section, it is loyally called bf its original title of Georgetown. Of its residents none is better known than John 8. Blackford. One of its oldest and most respected citizens, he is the favorite of the old and the young, and his establistiment, in one of the most populous quarters of the town, at 3125 M street, or Bridge street, as it is more familiarly known, is one of the landmarks. It is a quaint place, and one is reminded of Dickens’ “Old Curlosity Shop"? when looking it dyer. The windows are filled with all ‘sorts of Novel and useful tings, but stationery, music and Jewelry form the main stock in Mr. Blackford’s store. No one in Georgetown would ever think of having a watch repaired by anybody but John Blackford, and by many he is regarded as an oi acle, so wide is his information and so sensible application of it. For many years Mr. Blackf Was a sufferer from dyspepsia and indigestion ia their most acute forms. “{ was miserable always,” he sald to a reporter for The Evening Star, “and I never knew what it was to enjoy a meal or hnve any comfort from it after I had eaten it. About a year ago I con- cluded to try Daine’s celery compoun familiar with the excellent qualities of effect upon the nerves and stomach and I the compound I have mentioned highly for its to my own. I had not taken an entire bottle when I began to feel better. My stomach seemed to recover the robustness of youth.

I cannot speak too highly or too heartily of its splendid qualities. I know from pleasant experience that Paine’s ‘celery compound ts a specific anti- dyspeptic. “And then there's nnother thing I'd like to say. During the past winter I had an attack of the indorsed dial properties in complaints similar prevalent grip. 1 am pretty well advanced in years, as you can see, and the visitation promised to be severe, but I pulled through it casily, aud I attribute my power to do so to the strength that had been given to wy system by the regularity with which I hid previously taken Patne’s celery compound, I repeat what I ‘sald before, that no rds that I can use can express my belief in the efficacy of the great medicine in eradicating those worst of all humau enemies, dyspepsia and indi- gestion.” A REBELLIOUS. STOMACH. Mrs, Carrie Brooka Subdued It With Paine’s Celery’ Compound. Mrs. Carrie Brooks is sn intelligent, well-to-do colored wontan, who resides’ with ber busband and little ones at the southwestcorner of 19th and K streets. Two years’ ago sl€ lived in a torment from éyspepsta in its worst® form. ‘Everything I ate was Teptlsed by my stomach,” she said to a reporter féF ‘The Star. “If I took a glass of,milk it was immediately thrown off in curdicd lumps. If I ate the smallest plece of ripe apple I could not kcep it, ‘The wind secmed to col- lect under my breast, and It would distend alarm- ingly. My dzys were avfti and my nights were worse. I lost flesh and Awas altogether miserable, when I saw in 2 paper a'letter from somebods who had been trouticd fike myself and wHo had been relieved by Paine's celery compound. “I bought a bottle, and as soon as I began tak- ing It I grew better. The first bottle made a new Woman out of mic, ind I got another. When I bad taken about half of this any doctor heard of it and told me to stop it, and gave me a prescription; but I will always have faith in the belief that Paine’s cele-y compound was what relieved me of the torture I had suffered so long. “I recommended it to several of my friends, and they all thanked’ me for advising them to take it, because it did them so much good. I can certainly recommend it highly to any one who is afflicted with a disordered stomach or dyspepsia. I don't think any medicine can equal Paine'’s telery com- pound for making a sick stomach renew its proper fanctions."” = A STRANGE HOSPITAL, Where Uncle Sam's Mail Pouches Are Treated for Sundry Injuries. © Mr. P, H, Keenan is considered one of the most valued of the mary cmployes: in the mail bag re- pair bureau of the United States Post Office De- pertment. This important branch of Uncle Sam's business is located on C street northwest between 4% and 6th streets and occupies a large building. It is one of the most interesting places to visit in Washington.

Five years ago he caught the rheumatism in his legs sud spent a great deal of his earnings paying physicians’ fees, but secured no relief. “My rheumatism got so bad,’ he said to a Star reporter, “that I could not stand on my ‘feet. They were swol'en far beyond their natural size and were badly distorted. I suffered agony from them and could get no rellef. It was when I was, in such a condition that I determined to try Puine’s celery compound, of which I had heard very good reports. As soon as I began using it I began to feel relieved ard I persisted in taking it. The swelling in my feet went down and the pains grad- ually left them until they felt as well as ever. I attribute my recovery to Paine’s celery compound and gladly recommend it to any one who may be soffering from rheumatism." FAIR FORMS IN MARBLE.

He was loath to accept the proposition in spite of its tempting character, beccuse he thought it would separate him from his bride. But Mrs. Niles was equal to the emergency and determined to 2c- company him to Greytown. It was a perilous un- dertaking for auy woman, and doubly so for one who had always lived in a temperate latitude and had pever known anything but comfort and luxury, but she was persistent in her intention, knowing that the worldly affairs of her husband would be prospered, and the eouple accordingly went down to the tropics together.

The grip, however, gets the strong as well as ' the weak in its clitches when it makes its period- ical visitations, and last year it selected Mr. Smith for a victim. “I guess I bad the grip about as badiy as any- body who lived through it,” said he to the St reporter at bis place of business. “It did not ‘set- tle in any particular part of my system, but at- tacked me erérywhere. After the first violence was over I wa’ left as weak as a kitten. I couldn't walk up a short flight of stairs without becoming absolutely tired out. I had that feeling of utter depletion which makes a man miserable and use- less. Physicians’ prescriptions did not do me any good and I was at a loss where to find relief. “One day I happened to see some high testimo- nials about Paire's celery compound printed in the Star.

Three years ago I weighed 92. I was never free from pain. My joints felt as if they were being pulled apart on a rack and were swollen twice thelr natural size. “I saw a picture once which represented a man suffering from neuralgia. It ‘presented him with wild eyes and agonized expression tearing his hair, while an army of grinning devils were hammering sharp needles into his skull. The way I suffered with my head always reminded me of that picture. I cannot begin to describe the torture I suffered in my limbs and head, while my stomach felt as if a never ceasing fire was burning in it, I do not exaggerate a( all in telling you this. I was sim- ply existing in a living death. “Ernest was but little better off, and we were both as yellow as saffron. We got rooms in a house on 56th street in New York and spent nearly all our money on doctors and medicine, but nothing scemed to help as and we were thinking of apply- ing for admission to a hospital where we could at least die in comfort, when I saw in a paper a testimonial to the efficacy of Painc’s celery com- pound as a blood and stomach specific. I sent a servant to buy a bottle in spite of Ernest's objec- tions, and we both began to take it. In three or four days its good effects began to be apparent, and before we had taken half a dozen bottles we were both on the way to recovery. You tay be sure we continued 19 use it religiously, and after six months we were both in splendid condition and did not know what sickness was except as a hor- rible memory.

I de- termined to see if Paine’s celery compound would help me recover any of my lost strength. “ can assure you that I had very ttle faith when I began taking it. I was full of aches and pains and I knew that malaria bad followed the grip in my case. My lack of confidence in the celery compound did not exist long after I began taking it.

He is enjoying the afternoon of life in Washington now, where he acts as the correspondent of the St. Louis Westliche Post, the Milwaukee Abendpost and the Newark (N. J.) Cajl. Mr. Hagselbach is a Prussian by birth, =bis father having been vice president of the Prussian house of lords, and be was intended for the navy, but a trip around the world did not inspire him with any love for the seu, and he come to America. He served in the northern army, and after the war came to Washington and became a reporter on the Daily Chronicle under Joum W. Forney. In” 1871 he was made city editor of the Philadelphia North American, and when the Mollie Maguire strike coavulsed Pennsylvania he was the traveling correspondent of the Philadelpliia Inquirer. His fearless exposition of the acts and intentions of that terrible organization made him a marked man and he Lad a dozen close escapes from death at the hands of {ts members, He went to Europe after the Mollies were broken up, and returning he con- nected himself with the Newark Morning Register, and for twelve years reported the New Jersey legis- lature for that paper, and also for the New Jerscy Fret Zeitung. : For a year, in 1874 and 1875, he was liffrarian of the Navy Department, and was in that position during the Virginius excitement. He came back to Washington, where he now resides at No. 927 T street northwest, in 1889, and since then he has corresponded for the leading German and English papers.

She began taking Paine’s celers compound, and began to improve in health at once. In one of the wrappers of @ bottle she got I found an erdes for a package of diamond dye, which was said to be excellent for making ink, and in a spirit of fun I wrot» on for some, and found it made the best ink I ever used. Mrs. Hasselbach had recommended the celery compound to me, as I was not feeling well, and I concluded if it was correctly represent- ed. ap the dye was, it wouldn't do me any harm to take it. I felt better as soon as I began using it. I took a few bottles and found my entire system reinvigorated. My former good appetite returned, and I found pleasure at my meals I had not known for a long, long time. My bowels were regulated and I slept considerably better than I had for years. The effects of the compound were lasting, too, because when I stopped using it nove of my old troables returned. I know it is a most excel- lent thing for the whole system, and I have no hesitancy $n recommending it for weak and debili- tated people, and especially for those who have trouble with their stomachs.” Mr. Hasselbach has been warmly congratulated upon his renewed health by his brother correspond- ents, He has recommende!
