lis Life Worth Living?"---Fine
Lecture by DR.. Clevenger.

fefore an intellectual and appreciative
audience last evening at the Methodist
church Dr. Clevenger of Boston delivered
lecture. the subject of which was rs
Life Worth Living?" The attendance at
the lecture was rather small. but those
VINO were Present were certainly we'll re-
PAID for they not only listened to but
profted by the words of DR.. ClevenSer.
The speaker is one Of unusual wit and
ms remarks were exceedingly bright.
Possessed with natural eloquence, his
WORDS to his audience were forccful and
backed with truth and right. The fol-
lowing Is short abstract of his lecture:
is life worth living? 1t may seem a
frivolous question, but it isn't. 1t is a
question you are asking Of yourself each
day you live and at different times. If
things are going as they ought perhaps
you are agreeable with the question. If
you are meeting with adversely and fail
ure and are having a bitter struggle to
get along. you sometimes ask of yourself,
is it worth the cost? Is it not rather
eXrensive?'
Take a look at a large human city,
any of the large cities throughout the
country. Suppose that you visit one Of
these large cities and go not into the rich
portion. into the fashionable society, nor
mingie with them, but go to the poorer
class, those that live in Easements and
are huddled together like sheep. Suppose
you find that these people are hungry and
are destitute of proper care and nourish
ment and ir. this manner live. When
you really see how they live, you look
at this class of people and ask, is it

THE GRIP EPIDEMIC
Disease is Of Short Duration and
When Free From Complications
Is Rarely Fatal.

Not SINCE the grip epidemic Of
1889 80 has the dreaded influenza been
so prevalent as now. No age or
station III life is exempt from it, nor
can its attack be prevented with
certainty. 1t is, however. more
frequent in persons living in over
crowded and ill-ventilated homes and
III low, damp surroundings.
The best authorities give no salts
factory treatment for the acute stage
but ii is of short duration, usually run
ming its course, in spite of medical
treatment in two or three days, at
most, It week or ten days. Careful diet
and a supporting or tonic treatment,
with laxatives, if required, are the best
aids to nature during the acute stage.
Danger During convalescence.
For disease Of such limited dura-
ton and one which, without cOmplica-
tions. is rarely fatal, the grip leaves its
victims more debilitated and less able
to withstand other disorders than any
other. One Of our foremost medical
writers says: 1T is astonishing, the
number of people who have been
crippled in health for years after an
attack" 1t is a common thing to hear
people date various ailments or chronic
| ill-hcalth from an attack Of influenza.
The real danger from the grip is dur
ing convalescence. when the character
istic symptoms, the fever, the catarrh.
the headache and the depression of
spirits pass away. The grip leaves be-
| hind it weakened vital powers, thin
blood, impaired digestion and over
sensitive nerves. condition that
makes the system an easy prey to
pneumonia, bronchitis, rheumatism,
nervous prostration and even con-
sumption. Too much stress cannot be
| laid on the importance of strengthen
ing the blood and nerves during con-
valescence.
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 I'M
endurable and that long defied the
power of medicine; another was left
tired. faint and in every way wretched
from anae1nia or scantiness OF blood,
another had horrible headaches, was
nervous and couldn't sleep: another
was left with weak lungs, difficulty II
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. This remedy is justly re-
garded as peculiarly adapted to build
up stable health after q siege of grip
For quickness Of action nothing is
known that will approach it, but it is
also without equal for thoroughness.
