GRIPPE'S LEGACY.

COMMON SENSE WAY OF AVOIDING) ITS AFTER-EFFECTS. Influenza, which has lately become the regular hand-maid of "winter, is probably the miost treacherous malady" that flesh is ' 'heir to. It makes its insidious attack just ■when it is hardest to witihstand, and usually it leaves behind it a fatal legacy of weakBiess and disease. The danger of influenza is due largely to the fact that, at this season of the year, most people are run down after the Varan weather. Their life-blood is at a low ebb. All tiheir nerves are unsbnung. Their vitality is enfeebled. Their strength is imThe long, trying heat of summer has left their constitutions without the power to withstand the hundred ailments that come with the winds of winter. Before long they are attacked by the grippe— and everyone knows how weak and (helpless that treacherous complaint leaves its victim. Every year thousands of people have their health thoroughly underminied by a simple attack. Among the commonest diseases that follow in its fatal track; are bronchitis, asthma, catarrh, pneumonia, pleurisy, debility, nervous troubles and wasting consumption. The system, which has been permanently weakened by the j influenza, is unable to rid! itself of these j disorders. Ifc is, 1 indeed, a common thing to hear a man or woman say, " I have never j been the same person, since I had the grippe!" Now, common, sense will tell you that the best way to avoid, grippe, in the first place, and, if it does attack you, to make your recovery rapid amd permanent, is to strengthen yovx system andi to build up your vitality in every direction. For this purpose the" one supremely successful medicine is Dr Williams pimk .pills for pale people These wonderful pills can be obtained from chemists and storekeepers, or from the Dr Williams' Medicine Co., Wellington, at three shillings per box, or six boxe3 sixteen andi six, post free. They purify and enrich the blood, build up the tissues, tone the nerves, recruit the energies and add health and vigour to every organ of ih-. body/ They help you to ba/nisfci all existing ailments and leave no lodging pUc? for fresh disease. Thesa fact* are well illustrated! by the experience of M: David Grant, a. foighlyr&spected re*id«i't of Nelson. He was attacked by iniiu&nza, which) laid ham low, with its dull pains andi depressing fever. It left him thoroughly broken down ml health and spirit. He had no appetite, no strength, no energy. Bronchitis soom fol'.owed, tc add to sns miseries. Indeed, he was btgincoing to despair of ever regaining his old ioTm l when; he happened tot readl that Dr Wilißsunui' pink pills were good in such cases. "I tried them," 'he relates, " and after taking two boxes, I felti considerably stronger. I purchased a further supply, ana) as I continued taking the palls my health improved wonderfully. I ami freo from the lingering symptoms •of influenaa and 1 the distressing bronchial troubles, and now I am in splendid !health and spirits. I always recommend Dr Williams' pink pills to any of my friends whofeel out of sorts, because I have personally proved their sterling value." The experience of Mr Grant, whose homo is on Waimea Street, Nelson, has been the experience of scores of others, who have adopted this common-sense method of withstanding the perils of winter in general and the dreaded' after-effects of grippe , ;_ ' -thrill r W2 I
