WHAT AN ATTACK
OF THE GRIP DID
This Ohio Carpenter Did No,

He Took the Tonic
Treatment.

A single attack of the grip NAV mean
lifetime of misery IL proper precautions
are not taken to restore the blood aud
drive ont the lingering posons that
cause the so-called 'after-effects" of the
disease.
The edanger 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 ver.sensitive nerves--a condition
that makes the system an easy prey to
pneumonia, bronchitis, rheumatism, ner.
vous prostration, and even consumption
Too much stress cannot be laid on the
importance of strengthening the blood
and nerves during convalescence.
