convention. and although many OF
his IDEAS were defeated. l believe he

popular yet weak statesman be
elected to the presidents chair to
settle this great world disturbance
or shall the real master OF the situa
tion. who may not be such a public

NEURASTHENIA THAT
FOLLOWS THE GRIP
Rest and Tonic Is the Proper Treatment
Distinguished Medical Authority Says

free from danger OF relapse until
your blood Is built up.
The treatment. says the distin
guished physician quoted above. II
rest and a tonic. Or. Williams Pink
Pills, a non-alcoholic tonic. are par
ticularly suited for building up the
blood and strengthening the nerves
after an attack of grip. The rich
red blood expels the lingering germs
from the system and transforms des
pondent grip victims into cheerful
healthy, happy men and women.
II you have had the grip, do not
wait for a relapse or for the neuras
thenia that so often follows grip but
get a box of DR.. Williams Pink Pills
now from the nearest drug store and
begin the treatment at once.
On request we will send you q
free pamphlet, Building Up the
Blood" which contains a chapter or
the after-effects OF the grip. Address
