Sumter District, and he was put in charge
of it. He will live in Sumter. Rev. W.
M. Hanna, who has been presiding elder
of the Beaufort District for several years,

Rev. Valentine to the white people of

not a stirrer up of strife, but tries
to create a betterfeelingbetween the races.
They will find him worthy of confidence.

Paine's Celei^
Compound ^
Cures ^
DYSPEPSIA, INDIGESTION,
AND STOMACH TROUBLES.
The tortures and evils of dyspepsia and
indigestion are experienced by thousands at (
this time. The dyspeptics train ui cvua
may be enumerated as follows: feelings of
dizziness, languor, nervousness, sleeplessness,'
headache, distension of the stomach, loss of
flesh, difficult breathing, and the action of the '
heart is seriously affected.
All forms of dyspepsia are quickly banished
by the use of Paine's Celery Compound.
The use of this marvelous medicine allays the
inflammation of the nerves centred about the
stomach; it opens up the sewers of the body
and removes all waste matter; it cleanses the
blood; it makes new nerve fibre; it restores
digestive power, and promotes bodily strength
and activity. Mr. Fred. Ross, Clarendon,
Iowa, briefly writes about his happy experience
with Paine's Celery Compound as
follows:?
" It gives me great pleasure to testify to the
merits or Paine's Celery Compound. I can
candidly and honestly say it is the best medicine
in the world. Two years ago I was suffering
from indigestion and nervousness, and
was so run down that I could hardly walk
without help. I used two bottles of Paine's
Celery Compound and got better almost from
the first dose, and have had no use for medicine
since. I was completely cured."
