AFTER THE GRIP
PURIFY THE BLOOD
Dr.. Williams Pink Pills Are the
Best Blood Builder and Will
Cure You as They Cured
This Woman.

It is of the utmost Importance to your
health, if you have suffered from the
grip, that you cleanse the blood of the
lingering germs and put it in condition
to resist disease.
after the acute attack the sufferer is
left with debilitated system, is short of
breath upon the slightest exertion and
is affected by every change of weather.
The system is in such weakened con-
dition that it is powerless to resist the
attack of such diseases as pneumonia
and bronchitis.
This is condition which emphati-
cally calls for tonic for the blood. DIR.
Williams Pink Pills are the best medi-
cine for this purpose for they act di-
rectly on the blood which they cleanse
of all impurities They tone up the
nerves and give health and strength to
the debilitated system.

of the grip can only be cured by maxi
ing the blood rich and red. This DR..
Williams Pink Pills never fail to do
promptly and it explains how they
cured Mrs. F. R. Boyd, of No. 607
South Ninth street, Minneapolis, Mimi.
She says:
81 was never well after an attack of
the grip a few years ago until took DR..
Williams Pink Pills. Before this | had
found nothing that helped me. 1 was
all run down, pale and thin. My appe-
tite was poor and my head ached con-
tinually. Ididn't feel like myself at all.
Someone finally recommended DR..
Williams Pink Pills to me and found
them just the medicine for my case.
They gave me a hearty appetite and a
good, clear color. l got back my vital
ity and was soon well woman. l can
safely say that DR.. Williams Pink Pills
will do all that is claimed for them. l

to General Parrish when he arrived.
Louise had merely told him over the
telephone that Katharine had met
with an accident, so he entered the
house almost wholly unprepared for
the shock my news gave him.

that told him as gently as was pos
sible what had happened seemed to
sap all his vitality. His face became
ashen pale, his lips quivered, great
tears coursed down his cheeks, his
shoulders bent under the weight of
his grief and he tottered as if about
to fall.
While he was fond and proud of
both his daughters, the elder had al
ways been his favorite. AS is often
the case with fathers who have no
son, Katharine had been both son and
daughter to him. Since her mothers
death some years ago she had been
practically head of the household. 1t
was on her that he relied for every
thing, and it was with her that he
discussed all his business affairs. Such

up the stairs. Doctor Wilcox was
ahead OF me, three steps at a time,
and, following Louise's silent direc-
ton, had disappeared in a room on
the second floor, when I, with out
stretched arms, approached her. l did
not think to ask what had happened

He took to wrestling and 1t was not

featherweight division.
Then he began to take on weight
and in a few months tried for the light

won that, too. The next year he was a
little bit heavy for the lightweight di-
