Redeye a Stolle? When the Sick Seem a Cure will They be Given a Medicine to Increase their Sufferings? Beware of the Recommend- ation., "gust as Good!" Paine's Celery Compound, the iWorld's Grant Ilealol' and Life -giver! When a child asks his father for bread, will he receive a stone? When a poor fainishing mortal asks for food to appease the gnawing pangs o:' hun- ger, will be be given something that will add to suffering or end his life? Fortunately for the deserving poor of our country, we have yery few in our midst who are callous and indiffer- ent to want, famine and distress. When the hungry ask to be filled, there is al- ways a noble and honest response that is creditable to all classes of our popu- lation. Notwithstanding the fact that our people are charitably disposed and ever ready to relieve poverty, we regret to say that there are men in our midst - business mon. too -who do not hesitate to take advantage of men and wonien who are brought low by disease and suffering, and who lives are in peril. These business men (we thank Hea- ven they ate few in number) wilfully and deliberately withhold from the sick and afflicted the only remedy that can meet their cases and -give a new life; and will take the money of their victims for medicines they recommend- ed because of the immense profits they make, never taking a thought for the precious life of the buyer, or caring whether pain and suffering is even al- leviated for one short hour. This uubusiness-like, unmanly and unworthy policy is followed by some dealers a hen Paine's celery compound is plainly and distinctly asked for This dishonest practice of substituting recommending -something just as good is carried on because Paine's cel- ery compound does not pay as large a profit as inferior and less preparations. When the sufferer goes or 'sends to such selfish and profit-loying dealers for Paine's celery compound (a medi- cine which is as necessary for the cure of disease as is bread for theappeasing of hunger), he is met with the remark, politely uttered, "I have ,something else just as good"; and the buyer is in- duced to take a decoction that adds to an already heavy burden of misery and suffering. - It is well that one Canadian people should know that there is nothing in this world as good as Paine's celery compound; nothing else can cope ef- fectually with rheumatism, neuralgia, dyspepsia, indigestion, impure blood, headache, and all the troubles that are making men and women weak, ner- vous and sleepless. Any honest and straightforward dealer will supply you with earth's best medicine; they will never try to force you to take something else that would give them larger profit. Go, therefore, for Paine's celery compound to the man who has a regard for your judgement and your necessities; he will gladly and willingly give what you ask for. In the past many have traded on the reputation and wonderful success ' of Pante's celery compound, by putting up mixtures to take the place ,of the genuine article. All such attempts are made to deceive and draw profits that can never be made when Paine's celery compound is sold. Look well to the cartoon and bottle; see that the word "Paine's" and the "Stalk of Celery" appear on what you purchase. To the sick and suffertug this important matter moans life or death.
