She received the fire of the whole

The Novik concentrated her fire on the

SETS OUT TO KILL
MRS. ETZ ATTACKED TWICE AND

Saved From Fatal Results of
Second Encounter With Grip
by DIR. Williams
Pink Pills.

Not content with shifting down It's
victims once, the grip often repeats
the attack and is followed by such
distressing after-effects that many
sufferers succumb through exhaustion
and sheer discouragement. 1t is lust
here that Dr. Williams Pink Pills
have proved such help to thousands
of dispirited people.

doctor and a nurse.
"There was an incessant ringing noise
in my ears which was distracting to
an extent that | cannot describe. | had
very weak heart action and | believe
that my kidneys became affected
There were terrible pains in my back
and limbs and my feet and ankles
we're swollen. | had night sweats and
sometimes a cold numbness would
come over my limbs.
"My trouble was complicated with
sciatlc rheumatism and at times L
could not raise my foot two inches
from the floor The rheumatism grew
gradually worse as nv system was
weakened by the poison the grip left
in my body About this time friend
of mine who lives in Cortland recon-
mended that l try DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People. l did so and
had taken but one box before | was re
lieved. In all 1 took six boxes and
was cured One remarkable thing /
noticed about the pills was that they
began to give me strength almost as
soon as 1 began treatment. l shall be
glad to have you publish my state
ment aud 1 hope the pills will be as
much of blessing tn others as they
were to me.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are SO
promptly helpful in obstinate cases
where other remedies fail because
they act directly on the blood, ex-
polling all poisons and supplying the
elements upon which the entire sys-
tenn depends for its strength. They
also repair shattered nerves and min
ister hopefulness to overcome the de-
pressing effects of diseases like the
