JOHN 4. LONG. D& S. Weir. Mitchell, the Great Neurolo gist, Warns Americans Who Neg lect Their Nerves. "la btsjy ceabra the number of death due to narrow eswm has iocrcaied twenty per cent la forty year. One kurtb of ths.oVithi to cHlca to-day arc from asrroee "Dr. S. Tdt. Mitchell. The clean, rich nerve-force that was behind the health and happiness of thousands upon thous ands is literally burning itself up like the dry wick of an empty lamp. It is the "Strenuous Life," with a vengeance. Can men who go to their work in the morning tired and with lax spirits give to their own af fairs the electric touch of confidence and power upon wriich success depends ? Can mothers worn out and nervous, plodding dully or ill-tempered through the routine of homekeeping, bring into the family life that pre cious spirit of hopefulness and happiness with out which the word "home" seems a mockery ? When you feel exhausted when you grow tired sooner than you should when you lose pa tience with the irritating cares of daily life when you feel discouraged when you feel that your hopes and ambitions are not as high as they wed to be when you spend a sleepless night when you get up almost as weary as when you went tombed when you are worried. These ere all signs that your nerve forces sre burning low. Neglect the nerves and they will make you feel this neglect in many way, they control all of the organ of the body and must be kept heahhy and strong to do their work "properly, tired nerves cannot keep the organs of the body workrno; in that harmony which is essential to real health. This is why Pamc's Celery Compound is able to bring health m so many different forms.- Fame's Celery Compound feeds and nourishes the nerve. It make new Nerve Force. It makes pure, rich Wood, clean active liver, a stomach that ecu quietly and strongly upon all the food that is given to if, bowels that throw eway promptly and surely, , all the aihci from life's engine room. . It makes the heart beet true and evenly, tt make the brain clear and vigorous. The Nenrt Force docs this an, and Paine's CeW ' fery Compound makct the Nerve Force. ly Best of all it make that buoyant life-spirit, the : thrill of health, that is the secret of happiness and the keynote of individual loecm. Without Nerve Force there can be no health at . all no iK-ce no joy in hvfng, .. . : ". John S. Long' case it limply one ot tjtousandi poa thousand.
