Extreme debility, a constant sense of fatigue, headaches at the base of | the skull and across the forehead and eyes, pain in the back, deafness, hiss 1 ing sounds in the head, stomach dis | order, palpitation of the heart-tEese are symptoms that mark the after effects of the grip. And these finger | ing and stubborn after-effects are often | worse than the disease itself. The health of the body is badly shattered and oftentimes there seems to be no way to restore it. The sufferer be- comes nervous, irritable and the system is pOwerleSS to resist the at Jacks of such diseases as bronchitis, pneumonia and consumption.
 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 that made life unen- durable and that long defied the power of medicine; another was left tired, faint and in every way wretched from anRmia 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 re lief was sought in vain until the great blood-builder and nerve tonic, pr Williams Pink Pills, was used.
 COULD HARDLY STAND.
 Mrs Jennie Cowan, of 718 N. Henry street, West Bay City, Mich, says: "I caught cold, which ran into the grip. I was confined to my bed for two weeks. A t the end of that I was able to be about, but was completely run down. I was so weak I could hardly stand, my cheeks had no color and l felt faint. My heart would f1utter and it was difficult for me to breathe at times. Neuralgia settled in the back of my head and stomach and 1 suffered from rheumatism in my shoulders.
 fI had the care of the best doctor in town but became no better until a friend told me one day how she had been cured by pr Williams Pink Pills and decided to try them. I soon felt better and continued using them until I was entirely cured. They built me up again to perfect health.'
 CONFINED TO BED.
 Mrs Laura M. Van Scoy, of 20 Thorpe street, Ddnbury, says: "1 had severe attack of grip, and was in a badly run down state. At last I had to give up completely and for three weeks I was obliged to keep my bed. Then pains began to threaten my heart and thor oughly alarmed me. While l was suf

Dr Williams Pink Pills Are A Specific
This Remedy Powerful Yet Perfectly Safe Tonic Which Will Build Up the System, Strengthen the Nerves, Restore Lost Flesh and Bring Good Health.

Then l tried several kinds of advertised preparations but nothing proved helpful until 1 began to use Dr Williams Pink Pills. As soon as I got them I knew that l had at last hit upon. the right remedy for my case. The very first box did more for me than anything else had ever taken.
