A SAD CHRISTMAS
HOW GLOOM DROVE PEACE OUT CT A
HOUSEHOLD.
A Misfortune which Destroyed the Hap
piness of Que Family in a Time
When All Should Have
Been Cheerful.

Been Cheerful.
Christmas does not bring happiness
10 everybody. Peace does not always
come and even good Will IS sometimes
difficult to entertain.
Robert Yates did not have merry
Christmas, nor did his family. Pros
poets had been bright enough the day
before. and he had left home for the
days work with a feeling of content
looking forward in pleasure to the gift
giving of the morrow. But as he was
on his way back in the evening, laden
with his share of the N ysterious pun
dies that are always seen on Christmas
Eve he became suddenly weak. Fierce
pains shot through his head and pody
and he became so dizzy that he was
hardly able to make his way home He
was confined to the bed and the happi-
ness of that Christmas was destroyed
Tor him and for his family.
He continues the story as follows: L
was sick for three months from that
awful Christmas Eve of 1890. 1t was
an attack of the grip and about as
severe a one as anybody ever had.
Did you ever have the grip? Well,
you don't know what it is, then 1t
racks your mind and body It's COM
bination of all the aches and pains

isn't the worst of it-when you're over
the grip you have its after-effects. 1
was restless and sleepless, with con-
slant pains in my limbs. 1 fell away in
flesh, lost my appetite. was tired out
for no reason, and became generally
miserable.
Finally, when things were looking
pretty blue for me, one day noticed
piece in the paper about man living
in Kansas who had been cured of
somewhat similar complaint of twelve
years standing, by the use of DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills for Pale People. So l
decided to try them. 1 felt better before
/ finished one box. 1 kept on taking
them and they cured me. Now 1 am
past sixty-three years of age, 1 enjoy
perfect health and, thanks to DR.. VIII
liams' Pink Pills. can do a good days
work again 1 am as hale and hearty
as many men much younger than I,
have a splendid appetite and can go to
sleep a few minutes after retiring.
"a couple years after the illness 1
referred to 1 felt the symptoms again.
/ Immediately began taking the pills
and not only was the attack not nearly
so severe but 1 quickly recovered and
had none of the bad after-effects-
might also add that before 1 began
taking DR.. Williams Pink Pills had
suffered for about seventeen years with
rheumatism but 1 have not felt any of
it since. They are a wonderful medicine
and I have no doubt but what they
saved my life"
Mr. Robert G. Yates lives at No. So
Clark street. Dubuque, Iowa, and for
the past fifteen years has been in the
employ of the K1auer Manufacturing
Co, in the capacity of timer. He has
worked on almost every building of
consequence in that city and is very
we'll known as a thoroughly honest and
reliable man. In order to leave no room
for doubt he swore to his above state
ment before H. NJ Ham, a notary pub
lie, on September "A, 1901.
Many people suffer as Mr.. Yates did
and thousands have taken the same
remedy with as good results.
With each recurring epidemic of the
grip it is more evident that the disease
leaves in its wake a train of stubborn
ailments that often battle the skill of
physicians. Loss of flesh, thin blood,
nervousness, shortness of breath ex-
haustion after slight exertion-so that
it is often difficult to walk up stairs
these are few of the symptoms of af-
ter effects of the grip More serious re-
suits Often follow and grip has cone to
be regarded as the highroad to pneu-
