c. Howe, died Sunday evening after
long illness from tuberculosis, aged 43
years and months. Mrs. Howe
was born in Westmoreland but her
parents moved to Putney, VT. in her
early childhood, where she lived until
about two years before her marriage,
when she came to Hinsdale, and was en-
ployed in one of the paper mills. She
was married to Mr. Howe 23 years ago,
and they have made their home here
ever since. About nine years ago Mrs.
Howe had an attack of grip, and from
that time she was in poor health About
four months ago she suffered from a
severe attack of heart trouble, which
greatly weakened her. and from which
she never fully rallied. The last few
days her strength failed rapidly until the
end came.
Besides her husband, Mrs. Howe is
survived by two sons, Richard L., who is
a linotype operator, and Norman A., who
is attending a business college in Rut-
land, VT, and one daughter Abbie s.. a

other sons were born to Mr. and Mrs.
Howe but died in infancy. Ernest Lloyd,
aged three months died in April, 1891,
and Forrest V. aged four months, died in
November, 1899. Mrs. Howe was mem
Der of Queen Esther Rebekah lodge. AL
though prevented by her poor health
from participating to any great extent
in the social life of the town by her sweet
and gentle nature she drew a circle of
warm friends about her by whom she
was much beloved. She was devoted to
her home and family and patient and
cheerful in all her sufferings and her loss
is indeed a severe blow to the family,
where she will be so greatly missed.

tiful and included the offerings of family

GRIPS UGLY SEQUEL
KNEES STIFF, HANDS HELPLESS,
RHEUMATISM NEAR HEART.
Mrs. Van scOy Experiences Dangerous
After-Effects from Grip and Learns
Value Of n 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 same. One
was tortured by terrible pains at the
base of the skull; another was left tired,
faint and I'm every way wretched from
an@mia 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
that will approach it.
Mrs. Van Scoy makes statement that
supports this claim. She says:
81 had a severe attack of grip and, be-
fore had fully recovered, rheumatism
set in and tormented me for three
months. 1 was in a badly rundown
state. Soon after it began was so lame
for a week that could hardly walk. It
kept growing steadily worse and at last
l had to give up completely and for
three weeks was obliged to keep my
bed. My knees were so stiff / couldn't
bend them, and my hands were perfectly
helpless. Then the pains began to
threaten my heart and thoroughly
alarmed me.
While 1 was suffering in this way 1
CHANGED to run across a little book that
told about the merits of DR.. Williams
Pink Pills. The statements in it i'm
pressed me and led me to buy a box. These
pills proved the very thing 1 needed.
Improvement set in as soon as 1 began
to take them, and it was very marked by
the time had finished the first box.
Four boxes made me a well woman"
Mrs. Laura NJ. Van Scoy lives at No.
20 Thorpe street, Danbury, Conn. DR..
Williams Pink Pills are equally well
adapted for any other of the diseases that
follow in the train of grip. They are
sold by all druggists.
