As Old Age Creeps On Men and Women Can Keep Themselves Hale, Vigorous and Happy by Using Paine's Celery Compound. The human system in old age must have a sufficient store of neryous en- ergy and rich, nourishing blood, so that the liver and kidneys may be kept in perfect aotion and the body free from pain. Paine'’s Celery Com- pound is the true invigorator when old age creeps on and the vital pow- ere commence to fail. Paine's Celery Compound gives the needed stimulus to digestion and assimilation that the system requires; it maintains a regular supply of pure blood and re- moves such troubles as rheumatism, neuralgia, nervous weakness, heart palpitation, liver complaint and di- gestive disturbances, that make the lives of old people miserable. Rev. John Rice, Scotch Grove, Iowa, 98; ‘My wife and I have used two bot- tles of Paine'’s Celery Compound with great advantage to our general health. It cured her rheumatism and proved a good regulator of the sys- tem in general and a ee for the nerves. In my own case I have found it a cure for kidney trouble arising from old age, as IT am now in my 75th year. In this trouble it has ‘0 | for $25,000 damages.

Its great popularity, ite tremendous busy- negs, ite world-wide celebrity, are logically the result of a policy it pursues with unswerving loyalty and enthusiastic energy. The Big Store practises no class distinctions. It aims not to cater exclusively to any particular clientele. It is first and always a store which finds ardent support among those who constitute what is broadly termed the masses. And yet many of the very best people of Greater New York and nearby patronize it unstintingly. The stocks of this store are not circumscribed in any sense. In the 75 separate and completely equipped stores under this vast roof are the most expensive as well as inexpensive lines of goods. Quality is always of paramount importance.
