BLOOD WAS thin
AFTER AN ATTACK
OF THE GRIP
Tonic Treatment Is Necessary
After the Acute Stage of the
Disease Is Past Before the
Health Can Be Fully
Restored.

A single attack Of the grip may mean
lifetime of misery if proper precau-
tons are not taken to restore the blood
and drive out the lingering poisons that
cause the SO called latter effects" of the
disease.
The grip leaves behind it weakened
vital powers, thin blood, impaired di-
gestion and over-sensitive nerves-a
condition that makes the system an easy
prey to pneumonia, bronchitis, rheu1a-
tism, nervous prostration, and even con.
sumption.
Mrs. John Jorissen, of North st. Paul,
Mimi, advises sufferers from the after
effects of tile grip to build up their blood
with DR.. Williams Pink Pills. In her
case the pills gave her lasting benefit.
She says:
''Some years ago I had hard attack
of the grip and was in poor health for
long time. My blood was thin and
poor and was as white as q sheet. My
appetite was entirely gone and my stom-
ach was out of order. Ihad severe dizzy
spells in the morning, which SO upset
me that I could only drag myself
around for the rest of the day. could
not get much rest and would be as tired
in the morning as when went to bed.
I was not able to walk up fight Of
stairs without dropping from exhaus-
ton.
81 was treated by two doctors without
gaining any relief. They said was all
run down and was suffering from lack
of blood I found no relief until be-
gan the use of DIR. Williams Pink Pills.
In few weeks could see great i'm
provement and took the pills until
entirely cured. I have not been sick
since and shall never fail to recommend
DR.. Williams Pink Pills.
DIR. Williams Pink Pills have also
cured such diseases as an@mia, rheuma-
tism, nervous debility, neuralgia and ST
Vitus' dance. They are sold by all
druggists, or will be sent, postpaid. on
receipt of price, so cents per box; six

dies. The canes break very readily
at these circles, and 1 have tried to
pick and burn them, but after the
top has once been removed the oper-
alton Is repeated little lower down.
The pests also work on the tender

THE damage is done by the Rasp

where they have been girdled and
burn them. A beetle inserts lts eggs
In the twig, and from the egg comes
the larva which bores in the cane.

entirely, the larva is liable to be car
