CONSCIOUSNESS TRUTHS.
An Able Physician Explains the After
Effects of Grip, the Condition In
Which 1t Leaves People, and the
Only Thing to Do.

1T ia a very slow process!''
The speaker was q prominent physician. Con-
tinuing he said:
Il mean getting over the after effects Of the
grip. Any one who has much Of II
have can easily understand it. The grip lasts for
a long time and 1t seems to take a special hold
upon the system II frequently into pneumo-
mia, sometimes leaves the hearing partially i'm
paired. the throat with irritating soreness and
the stomach with impaired digestion. 1t seems to
take a long time to recover the strength, the en-
ergy or the ambition after has had a run of
the grip and frequently ind neuralgia rheuma-
tism and worse things following it.
Now, what should any sensible man woman
do under these circumstances? The answer seems
hard but Is really easy. Simply help Nature to
get the trouble-stimulate the body and fac
ulties just little. This is what every good ply
stefan in the land advocates in order drive grip
out of the system II should he remembered. how
ever. that the stimulant must be pure, and that
nothing for this purpose is equal to good whiskey.
IL Is unfortunate however, that there Is little
pure medicinal whiskey to be found, and. in fact.
IL can be truly said that there is but strictly
medicinal whiskey upon the market. and that is
Dany Pure Malt. IL is not like ordinary whiskey,
however much druggists and grocers may say SO.
1t has, in fact, properties possessed by no other
and is beyond question a stimulant which can
safoy ard enectually be taken to prevent the grip
or drive away its most disastrous after-erects.'
