NEURASTHENIA
 FOLLOWS GRIP
This Meriden W0man's Eyperi. ence Is of Value to Those
 Who Still Suffer.

The danger from grip is seldom over when the characteristic symptoms, the fever, the catarrh, the headache and the depression of spirits pass away. The grip leaves behind it weakened vital powers, thin blood, impaired digestion and oyer-sensitive neryes-a condition described by doctors as 'post- -grippal neurasthenias" Physicians agree that too much stress cannot be laid on the importance of strengthening the blood and nerves during oonvalescence.
 Mrs. w. L. Brooks, of No. 453 West Main street, Meriden, Conn.,, was left in such weak condition by an attack of the grip, that she was threatened with consumption. She tells in an in- taresting way how Dr. Williams Pink Pills restored her to health, as follows:
 "For about a year following an attack of the grip I was completely run down and ina wretched condition. l was pale and without color, had no desire for food for it only distressed me and l felt better without it. 1 had severe sick headaches almost constantly which made me feel sick all over. Twas rest less and could not sleep. l lost in flesh, had a dry, hacking cough and my friends thought was going into consumption. I was awfully nervous and had dizzy spells when I could not stand up. Ihad constant pains in my back and limbs
 "The doctor called nearly every other day for some time but did not seem to improve. My mother persuaded me to try Dr. Williams Pink Pills and after taking them while I began to gain in flesh. My color returned, my nerves became quiet and I gained in every way. I am strong now and in perfect health and must give Dr. Williams Pink Pills the credit"
 "Dr. Williams Pink Pills contain the elements necessary to make new blood and, as the nerves get their nourishment from the blood, have been found invalu- able in a wide range of diseases of the blood and nerves, such as rheumatism, after effects of the grip and levers, neu- ralgia, St. Vitus' dance and even partial paralysis and locomotor ataxia.
 Dr. Williams Pink Pills are sold by all druggists, or sent, postpaid, on re- ceipt of price, 50 cents per box; six boxes for $2.5O, by the Dr. Williams Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y. -..--

there 'h h pfoht, DthefWlae we shon q be continually seeing sueh men sod out, when as a matter of fact they are paying for their farms. Yet it must be apparent that they are not ge'ting for thel' milk according to the cost of producing it. Our own sales in cash were s2,357.57. De-
 lurtihg from this the sl,9G6,gA leaves only s395.57 real profit to he credited to the dairy. In addition we have the skim-mllk, not reckoncd here at all, and worth not less than Sl0 per COW. Also our own milk and cream for family use, with which u cows are credited; but 1t does not ap- pear in the receipts. Pref Woll says COW will produce in a year 2S tons of solid and liquid manure, worth at the price of chemicals, for the actual plant food 1t contains, s2 a ton. We We save the bulk of ours but divide 1t by two and we have a value of BPS for the manure of one COW, or the tidy sum of s700 for thS manure of the herd. An item not to be dis pissed, in spite of the recent com ments of a very good friend of mine in the agricultural press and from the dairy platform.

Their Useless Destruction Allows Injurious Insects to Multiply
Unchecked Destroy Our Crops.

While the birds are generally neg
lected and often wantonly killed.
Il is clear that the kinds OF wild birds
that do the farmer more good than
harm are much more numerous than
Is generally supposed. Birds are Of
ten detestcd for working among
crops. when they are there hunting
something harmful TO the crops.
when they are there helping the
farmer make better crops than he
possibly could without them. Some
OF the helpful birds occasionally eat
little OF the crop. but they Will at
the same time do so much good that
the balance Is In their favor from
the standpoint OF good farming.
DO You Prefer birds or Bugs?
This IS true for the ordinary farm
or and for the one who Ia making a
specially OF truck or fruit. Bugs aud
worms are the enemies that reduce
the harycsta OF the farmer. and tho
birds are the enemies OF the bugs
and worms. Nothing can take the
place OF the birds IN this good work.
