A few years ago a wave of La Grippe
over the land and hrou hi thou&ar,s
of its victims to the grave. Otltrs who c-
capped the fnte lived on i'll sorrow and suffer-
ing, broken in health and spirit.
Terrible rs was the disease, its after effects
were yet more appalling, as il sought uUt the
weaknesses of the constitution and left thou
sands shattered wrecks of their former selves.
a few days ago a C0urT@r- HerCi2 represent
tatiye, while al the thriving little town Of
Akron. Mich. met John /" Smith, a veteran
of the industrial army, on whose u-t head
the disease had fallc1h and lie heard hin tell
how he had suffered and what had given
him relief.
We can do no better than quote his cwp
words, switch are as follows: "Ah"ut
seven years ago | was taken down with the
Grip and it fastened on me very hard.
For about half the winter | YVES so bad that |
could not leave the house. was CHILLY all
the time, and could not get warm. | felt as
if | was frozen solid, and could only breathe
with great difficulty.
This condition alternatad with sweating
spells of great violence. There was an al
most continuous pain, and it would shoot
from one part of my body to another. with
great suddenncss, and cause me intense slf-
fering. Sometimes it was in my hips, then
in my legs, and again it would 90 to my
head and pain me in the eyes. 1t was so in
tense that it even affected my sight.
Il called in medical assistance, hut this
was f%ruitless, as | received no benefit from
physicians. From then on | tried various
preparations that were recommended to me,
but they did me no good, and my condition
was as bad and painful as it was before |
tried them.
Finally, I saw an advertisements of Or.
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People, ard |
read with much interest of the wonderful
cures that they had effected in so many
cases. | had tried so many proprietary prep.
~arationS that | had no faith in it, but tried
it, as | had so many other things, to see if
they were of any use.
"One day when / was feeling as bad rs
usual. l got a box Of Pink Pills. and shortly
before going to bed l took one pill. I cannot
tell you what a surprised man | was next
morning. Then | put on my shoes with ease,
q thing that | had not done for forty years.
A little while after this | was so we'll that /
drove to Bay City, Michigan, a distance of
twenty-three miles, and was not at all tired
when l got there.
Il am now seventy-six years Of age and
unusually active for a man of my years. !

no trouble from the work. | want to sly a
good word for Pink Pills, rs they helpel me
where all else did no good whatever. Since
my illness and cure a number Of my neigh
bors have used them, and say that they have
been greatly benefited"
Mrs. Smith, the veterans wife, who sat
near by, confirmed the words that her hus.
band had spoken and added her testimony
to the good that the pills had been to the
family. The worthy couple are old and re.
