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. N. Y. Advertise
