GRIPS UGLY SEQUEL

RHEUMATISM NEAR TEART.
Mrs. Van Scoy Experiences Dangerous
After-Effects from Grip and Learns
Value of q Blood Remedy.

Mrs. Van Scoy Experiences Dangerous
After Effects from Grip and Learns
Value of Blood Remedy.
The grip leaves behind it weakened
vital powers, thin blood, impaired de
gestion and over-sensitive nerves-a
condition that makes the system al easy
prey to pneumonia, bronchitis, rheuma-
tism, nervous prostration, and even COM
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
an9mia or scantiness of blood; another
had horrible headaches, was nervous and
couldn't sleep; another was left with
weak lungs, difficulty i'll breathing and
acute neuralgia. In every case relief
was sought i'll 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 1t.
Mrs. Van Scoy makes statement that
supports this claim She says:
ST had severe attack OF grip and, be-
fore had fully recovered, rheumatism
set in and tormented me for three
months. I was in badly rundown
state. Soon after it began I was SO lame
for a week that 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. Ny 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 was suffering in this way
CHANGED to run across little book that
told about the merits of DR.. Williams
Pink Pills. The statements III it inn
pressed meand led me to buy box. These
pills proved the very thing I needed.
Improvement set In as soon as l began
to take them, and it was very marked by
the time I had finished the first box.
Four boxes made nae a well woman"
Mrs. Laura M. Van Scoy lives at No.
90 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.

No other female medicine in the

medicine has such record of cures OF
female troubles.
The needless suffering of women from
diseases peculiar to their sex is terrible
