SICK TWO YEARS
r AFTER THE GRIP
Tonic Treatment Is Necessary
After the Acute Stage of the
Disease Is Past Before tho
Health 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 so called ''after-effects" OF the
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 it weakened vital
powers, thin blood, impaired digestion
and over-sensitive nerves-a condition
that makes the system an easy prey to
pneumonia, bronchitis. rheumatism, ner-
Too much stress cannot be laid on the
Importance of strengthening the blood
and nerves during convalescence.
Mrs. w. H. Parker, of No. 96 West
Union street, Newark, N. Y, tells OF
her cure by this treatment, as follows:
II was sick for two years following
an attack of the grip and could get little
relief from the doctors treatment. l
had bad cough for over a year and
everyone thought I was going into con.
sumption. I was extremely nervous and
had trembling spells which affected me
so that couldn't sit still. During this
year had to lie down most Of the time.
My heart palpitated and my head
ached frequently. lost great deal in
weight, had no ambition and was not
able to do much work. had no appe-
tite at all and my stomach was weak.
II was. led to try DR.. Williams Pink
Pills by reading of a cure of case SINH
lar to mine and felt some benefit in a
short time. The trembling spells left
me and picked up right along until I
was cured"
DR.. Williams Pink Pills have also
cured such blood diseases as anamia.
rheumatism, after-effects of the grip and
fevers. Owing to the intimate relation
between the blood and nerves, the pills
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, so cents per box; six
boxes for $3.50, by the DR.. Williams
