'FLU!
Influenza causes the blood to become thin and impoverished. The anaemle condition often, con- tinues after the neutu symptoma have disappeared. This im- poverishment of the blood is at the root of those headaches art feelings of weakness, depression and lassitude that influenza leaves behind.
And whilst the blood is, in this state there is an ever present' dan- ger of the disease recurring.
After influenza you should build up your blood by a course of that famous blood and nerve tonic,
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills The experience of Mrs. S. A. Lec, of 18, Hughes Avenue, Paw- tucket, U.S.A., provides a striking tribute to the revitalising action of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills dur- ing convalescence. Mrs. Lee says: "A severe attnek of 'flu left me run down and wenk. My nerves were dreadfully bad; I was irrit able and, could not sleep.
had 1 no energy, even in a morning. I' never felt warm, could not regain my appetite and suffered from fre quent headaches. Apparently my blood had become very im- poverished,
"As my daughter had been help- ed by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills I decided to try them. I soon found I was getting relief, My nerves became steadier, and I slept bet- ter. As my blood grew richer I began to enjoy my food and gain- ed strength rapidly. I am great- ly indebted to Dr. Williama" Pink Pills for the benefits I received and am always gind to recommend them."
