GRIPS UGLY SEQUEL

Mrs. Van Scoy Experiences Dangerous
After-Efects from Grip and Learns
Value IF a Blood Remedy,

The grip leaves behind it weakened
vital powers, thin blood, Impaired di.
gestion and over-sensitive nerves-a
condition that makes the system an easy
prey to pneumonia, bronchitis, rheuma-
tism. nervous prostration, and even con-
sumption.
The story told by scores of victims Of
the grip is substantially the ame One
was tortured by terrible pains at the
base of the skull; another was left tired,
faint and in every way wretched from
anamia or scantiness of blood; another
had horrible headaches, was nervous and
couldn't sleep; another was left with
weak lungs, difficulty in breathing and
acute neuralgia. In every case relief
was sought in vain until the great blood
builder and nerve-tonic, DR.. Williams
Pink Pills, was used. For quickness and
thoroughness of action nothing is known
hat will approach it.
Mrs. Van Scoy makes a statement that
supports this claim. She says:
II had a severe attack of grip and, be.
fore I had fully recovered, rheumatism
set in and tormented me for three
months. I was in a badly rundown
state. Soon after it began l was so lame
for a week that I could hardly walk. 1t
kept growing steadily worse and at last
I had to give up completely and for
three weeks I was obliged to keep my
bed. My knees were so stiff I couldn't
bend them, and my hands were perfectly
helpless. Then the pains began to
threaten my heart and thoroughly
alarmed me.

Mrs. Murray had advertised for a skilled
gardener to work by the day in her yard,
and, somewhat to her embarrassment, she
was obliged to choose between two APP
plicants who appeared at the same mo-
ment. As she stood on her doorstep, ques-
tioning first one and then the other, re-
lates Youths Companion, she became
aware that her mother.in-law, seated on
the porch a short distance from the men
and directly behind them, was frantlcally
gesticulating.
The old lady, satisfied at last thnt she
had attracted her daughter. n-law's atten-
ton, pointed unmistakably toward the less
preposscssing of the two men; and the
younger woman, supposing that her rela-
tive had some personal knowledge OF the
applicant, promptly engaged him.
HAS that man ever worked for you,
mother?" asked Mrs. Murray, when the
two women were alone.

the shorter man? The other had a much
