SICK TWO YEARS
 AFTER THE GRIP
Tonic Trestmenf Ls NecessafJ After the Acute Stage of fhs Disease Is Past Before fhs Heaifh Can Be Fully
 Restored.

A single attack of the grip may mean . lifetime of misery if proper precautions are not taken to restore the blood and drive out the lingering poisons that cause the % called 'aftef-effects" of tho disease. =.
 The danger from the 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 1t weakened vital powers, thin blood, impaired digestion and over-sensitive nerves-e condition that makes the system an easy prey x pneumonia, bronchitis, rheumatism, ner. vous prostration, and even consumption. Too much stress cannot be Laid on the importance of strengthening the blood end nerves during convalescence.
 Mrs. w. H. Parker, of No. @ Wesl Union street, Newark, N. Y., tells oi her cure by this treatment, as follows:
 "I was sick for two years followina an attack of the grip and could got httlS relief from the doctors treatment. had bad cough for over year and everyone thought was going into con sumption. I was extremely nervous and had trembling spells which affected ns 90 that couldn't sit still. During this year had to lie down most of the time
 My heart palpitated and my head ached frequently. I lost . great deal ii weight, had no ambition and was moi able to do much work. had no appe tite at all and my stomach was weak.
 T was led to try Dr. Williams Pinl Pills by reading of 8 cure of a case simi lar to mine and felt some benefit in short time. The trembling spells Jeff me and picked up right along until was cured"
 Dr. Williams Pink Pills have als< cured such blood diseases as anmmia rheumatism, .after-effects of the grip and levers. Owing to the intimate relation between the blood and nerves, the pilli have been found invaluable in such ner vous diseases as dizziness, nervous de bility, neuralgia and St. Vitus' dance.
 Dr. Williams Pink Pills are sold by all druggists, or sent, postpaid, on re. ceipt of price, 50 cents per box; sis boxes for e2.50, by the Dr. Williarns Medicine Comrauv Schepectady, N. Y.

with their occupations, more en-
thusiastic as to their work and more
hopeful for the future. Important

had, the enthusiasm and the broad
or, better, brighter outlook which

more Importance. Then this meet
ing is Just the place for Missouri
farmers to meet-for the cotton
grower, the orchardist, the corn
king, the stock raiser, the poultry
fancier and men from all the widely
separated districts Of Missouri to
get acquainted. This meeting and
exchange of ideas Is an education
within itself, then there Is added
value Of friendships formed.
At the Farmers Week meeting
the Missouri live stock breeders,
sheen breeders, corn growers, dairy
men, swine breeders, horticulture
alists, butter and cheese makers,
road workers, bee keepers, and home
makers we're all represented, the
