Best Spring Remedy in the World

ONE TRUE MEDICINE FOR LOST NERVOUS STRENGTH.

Cures Effected by Paine's Celery Compound.

What Scientific Research has Accomplished.

Proved by Success Where All Else Has Failed.

There is one true specific for diseases arising from a debilitated nervous system, and that is the Paine's Celery Compound so generally prescribed by physicians. It is probably the most remarkable remedy that the scientific research of this country has produced. Prof. Edward E. Phelps, M. D., LL. D., of Dartmouth college, first prescribed what is now known the world over as Paine's Celery Compound, a positive cure for dyspepsia, biliousness, liver complaint, neuralgia, rheumatism, and kidney troubles. For the latter Paine's Celery Compound has succeeded again and again where everything else has failed. The medical journals of the country have given more space in the last few years to the many remarkable cases where the use of Paine's celery compound has made people well than any other one subject.

Editor's note:

The first advertisement appeared in the Cortland Evening Standard on May 1, 1893, and the second appeared in the same newspaper on April 16, 1902. Milton K. Paine, a Vermont pharmacist, created “Celery Compound” in 1882. Ingredients: celery seed, red cinchona, orange peel, coriander seed, lemon peel, hydrochloric acid, glycerin's simple syrup, water and alcohol. Testimonials of six clergymen were published to assure the public that the alcohol content in the bottle was merely a trace. The medicine was marketed by Wells, Richardson and Co. of Burlington, Vermont. Although rumors have circulated for more than one hundred years, Jeff Paine denies any association with the production and marketing of this herbal wonder product.

On May 2, 1898, the Cortland Evening Standard published the following advertisement:
