POISONED 01 THE GOIP The grip Is no respecter of persons. No age or station of life is exempt from It. The grip is not a fatal dis ease, but it leaves its victim in such a debilitated condition that one of our foremost medical writers has been led to say, "It is astonishing the number of people who have been crippled in health for years after an attack." It is a common thing to hear people date various ailments from an attack of Influenza. The condition of those who have had the grip is one that calls for a tonic for the blood. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are especially adapted to meet this need, as they purify and enrich the blood, tone up the nerves and give vigor, strength and health to the debilitated system. "The grip left me without any vitality whatever," says one who has found relief, "and I lost all appetite and ambition. I was reduced in weight and was frequently confined to bed for two days or more. My friends thought I was going into consumption. I owe my recovery to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and cheerfully recommend them." The details of this case and a chapter on the proper treatment of the grip and its aftereffects will be found in the booklet, "Building Up the Blood," which will be sent free on re quest by the Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Schenectady.
