AFTER GRIP WHAT?
The Perilous Period Which
Follows an Attack of this
Mysterious Malady.

Grip is bad enough with its aching
bones, inhamed eyes. painful back, and
fever. But its after effects are perhaps
even more to be dreaded than the misery
attendent on an attack of the disease
itself. The person who comes safely
through an attack of grip, man, woman,
or child, is left in a condition of peculiar
debility and prostration from which it is
difficult to rally. A slight cold or cough
may find speedy termination in lung

starve the organs it feeds. But starva-
ton of the body can be accomplished
even where food is beautifully supplied,
because if the stomach and other organs
of digestion and nutrition are diseased,
then the food will not be converted into
nutrition oronly partly so, and the body
inadequately nourished will begin to
grow weak. The first attempt, then, in
dealing with weak body is to nourish
it into strength. The general method OF
this attempt is to try and bring the food
down to the level of the weak stomach.
This is done by the use OF prepared
foods, cod liver oil, and its enulsions.
But this doesn't cure the disease Of the
stomach or put the organs of nutrition

Blood Poison

There is no poison SO highly contagious,
so deceptive and so destructive. Don't be
too sure YOU are cured because all external
signs of the disease have disappeared, and
the doctor says you are well. Many per-

Potash for months or years, and pro-
nounced cured to realize when too late
