AFTER-EFFECTS OF INFLUENZA OFTEN SERIOUS

No pestilence since tho Black Death, of the fourteenth century ha* caused more widespread suffering than. Pneumonic Influenza. Tho epidemic came at a time when a great many people were enfeebled by overwork and under a serious nervous strain caused, in many cases, by worry over the welfare of tho boys at tho front. The.se overwrought people wero easy victims of the virulent germ. Thousands who have recovered from Influenza have been so u;sod up in the fudit that they are stripped of their reserve strength, their blood impoverished, and their nerves shatetred. Robust men and women find their weight reduced and their bodies racked by pains previously foreign to them. At such a time great caution must be exercised, for the body lacks resistance, and is susceptible to serious diseases, such as pneumonia, bronchitis, and tuberculosis. Now is the time to restore tho fighting qualities of the blood. Thin blood means a depletion of red corpuscles, those watchful guardians of tho system that burn up and expel disease a;erms. When the blood regains its quality tho nerves recover their strength. Building up the blood will revitalise the whole system. Ther is no better blood builder than Dr Williams' Pink Pills. They contain just the elements needed to build up the blood and restore tho lost color and vitality. New energy circulates through the svstem with the enriched blood, the heart 1- stops its ala-rminar palpitating, color returns to cheeks and lips. Nothing more is needed except sunlight, good air, proper food, and rest.
