ANOTHER EPIDEMIC.
GRIP HAS MADE IT'S APPEARANCE
AGAIN.
A Successful rlethod of Wardlng Off
the Disease and OF Graduating 1t
from the System.

Grip has made its appearance this
spring in a larger number of cases
than for several years past. While 1T
is true that in most cases an attack OF
this disease leaves the victim in shat
tered health and often lays the founda-
ton for more serious Affections, its
after affects can be driven out as the
following interview will show:
can attack of the grip left me in a
most miserable condition., - said Mrs.
M. j. Conner, of No. 436 Brook street,
Scranton, Pa, land | did not recover
my health for long while afterward.
Then, when everything else had failed
to help me, took Dr. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People and they cured
me.
"My system was in dreadful con
dition. Even to walk at all briskly on
level made me short of breath, and
going up hill or upstairs distressed me
terribly 1 had night sweats, my feet
were always cold and itched or
prickled enough to make me almost
crazy sometimes And my head ached
my Heart would beat like blows of a
hammer. In che morning my hands
and arms would feel numb. l was
also subject to fainting spells and with
it all | was perfectly miserable.
81 saw DR.. Williams Pink Pills
mentioned in one of the papers and so
/ got some at the South Side Pharmacy.
The first box helped me and by the
time had taken three boxes all the
unpleasant symptoms were gone and
was as we'll again as was before the
attack of the grip"
The fact that DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People can cure when
the trouble is SO deeply seated as il
was in Mrs. Corners case makes il
doubly certain that they can also tone
up the system, enrich the blood ano
make an attack of the grip impossible.

People are sold by all dealers, or will

CR1 MS ATLAS.

have carefully examined Gram S
Atlas of the World, Ancient and
Modern, and compared it with the
latest Century Atlas which has been
my wade mecum since it was pub
lished. Each one has it's advantages,
but find the Gram Atlas superior in
many respects:
In the greatly increa sed number of
maps.
In its larger plates, most maps be-
ing nearly double in size.
In it's much fuller list of names.
In the color scheme, distinguishing
states and counties.
In the completer indexes.
In the full index accompanying each
map.
In the large clear plans of the chief
cities.
In the later date of it's statistics
In the fulness of information and
larger plans of our latest possessions.
In the completeness of its historical
maps, etc.
Such an Atlas is an education in
any family. 1t is almost essential
where there are children and youth,
or for all connected with any literary
club, especially in all historical
studies. Such maps have been dis
tinct blessing in my own family in
the past, and still feel the need of
having one by me the latest and best

Cal, We find on investigation that the
figures were not given out officially,
but, such as they were, they were the
result of estimates based on inspection
by few experts who were permitted
to make careful observation before the
launching. The majority opinion is
described as accepting about 2215 feet,
although one estimate was 2l15 feet
This cares us back to Valkyrie III,
which, with a water line of some
thing less than 81 feet and an overall
length of 11714 feet, was of 2214 feet
beam. Shamrock Ills water line is
three feet less than this, and her over
all length from twenty to twenty
three feet more yet her beam is
thought to be the same. Setting
length against BREADTH she must be
the slimmest craft that ever raced for
the Cup.

OF any markeu departure as TO Deam
