After-Efiects from Grip aud Learns
Value OF Blood Remedy.


After-EHects from Grip and Learns
Value Of q 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 in every way wretched from
onemia or scantiness Of blood; another
had horrible headaches, was nervous and
couldn't sleep; another was left with
weak lungs, difficulty In breathing aud
ncute neuralgia. In every case relief
was sought in vain until the great blood
builder and nerve-tonic, DIR. 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:
II had a severe attack Of grip and, be.
fore had fully recovered, rheumatism
set in and tormented me for three
months. was in a badly rundown
state. Soon after 1t began ! was so lame
for a week that / could hardly walk. 1t
kept growing steadily worse and at last
had to give up completely and for
three weeks l 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 aud thoroughly
alarmed me.
"While l was suffering in this way I
CHANGED to run across little book that
told about the merits Of DIR. Williams
Pink Pills. The statements in ii i'm.
