come and ever good will is sometimes
difficult to entertain,
Robert Yates did not have a merry
Christmas, nor did his family. Pros
poets had been bright enough the day
before, and he had left home for the
day's work with a feeling Of content,
looking forward in pleasure to the gilt
giving of the morrow. But as he was on
h s way back in the evening, laden with
his share Of the mysterious bundles that
are always seen on Christmas Eve, he
became suddenly weak. Fierce pains
shot through his head and body and he
became 80 dizzy that he was hardly able
to make his way bone. He was confined
to his bed and the happiness of ths
Christmas was destroyed for him and
for his family.
He continues the story as follows: al
was sick for three months from that
awful Christmas Eve of 1890. II was an
attack OF the grip and about as severe a
one as anybody ever had.
"Did you ever have the grip2 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
known TO medical science and that isn't
tue worst OF it-when you're over the
grip you have it's aiter-effects. | was

pains in my limbs, fell away in flesh,
lost my appetite, was tired out for no
reason, aud became generally miserable.
"Finally, when things we're looking
pretty blue for me, one day noticed q
piece in the paper about a man living in
Kaneas who had been cured Of a some
what similar complaint OF twelve years
standing by the use Of DR.. Williams. Pink

Many people suffer az Mr. Yates di'
; and thousands have taken the same rem
: edy with as good results.
With each recurring epidemic Of th
grip It ia more evident that the diseas
leaves in its wake a train Of stubborn
ailments that often battle the skill O
, physicians. Loss OF flesh, thin blood
nervousness, shortness Of breath, ex
haustion after slight eKertion--so that
is often difficult to walk up silrs-thes
are a few Of the symptoms OF after effect
/ of the grip. More serious results oite
Z follow, and grip has come to be regarde
