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, aud even con-
sumption.
The story told by scores Of victims Of
the grip is substantially the Same. 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 aud
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
that win approach It.
Mrs. Van Scoy makes q statement that
supports this claim. She says:
