GRIP IS DREADED


1t is not the disease itself, but the
dangerous complications that follow
it, that people fear with such good
reason: the lingering coughs, the ter
rible weakness. and the liability of be-
ing attacked by pleurisy. pneumonia
or some other serious i'll.
We say lit is highly important to
free the system of every trace OF grip
and nothing is so good for this as
Ninol. our delicious cod liver and iron
preparation which creates strength
and builds up the body
Mrs. c. L. Edwards. Long Branch,
n. j., says; Last February l had a
very bad attack of grip and it left mo
with a terrible cough. For fully six
weeks ! coughed a great DEAL and
nothing had any effect on it, until I
tried Ninol which soon gave me re-
lief and has since brought about a
complete Cme.'
Can anything be more convincing
that Vinol is Just what YOU need to
build you up and make YOU strong
We guarantee it most positively.

brigadier general of the United states
army. After the surrender of General
| Lee, he received a commission as
brevet major general of the United
States army for gallant and meritori-
Gus services in the field during the
Rebellion.
General Williams accompanied Gen
| Grant to Appomattox Court House
| and was one of the few officers, on
that memorable occasion, to witness
the final surrender of General Lee.
Indeed. it has been said that at that
interview the first words spoken We're
those of recognition between Gen. Lee
and Gen. Williams. who were former
friends. and had at one time been as
sociated together at West Point
Thus was it permitted TO him, as the
crowning qualification Of his life, TO
participate with these three CT four
other officers present, in that closing
scene of the Rebellion.
General Williams continued as in
spector major general until February
1866. but mis- health, impaired by the
arduous toll and severe strain of his
life broke down, and after a short i'll
ness, he died in March 1866
3dIE lflbdstS u HIS lHelliOIS were
paid by the newspapers of the eoun-
try. He vas buried at Augusta in
Forest Grove cemetery. The Augusta
post of the Grand Army OF the Re-
public bears his name.
The following extract from General
Norris Schan's The Battle of the
Wilderness" gives Il good description
of his nature and personality:
"sfhere never was swceter temper,
a kindlier heart. than Williams His
hair was rcd his face open and gen
erous, and always lit up as if there
Were a harp playing in his breast. AT
Appomattox, when Lee vas going
through the trying ordeal Of surfen-
dering his Army. the only one Of all
i'll the roam whom he greeted with
anything like cordiality was Williams;
for all others his face wore its native
dignity.
