Worse Than the Disease Itself—Victims Left Wealr, Nervous and Worn out. La Grippe. or Spanish inthIenza as the epidemic now sweeping over all America is called, is one of the most dangerous diseases known to mankind. Anyone wh, has felt its pangs is not likely to for- get the trouble La Grippe, or influenza. starts with a slight cold and ends with a complication of troubles. It lays the vic- tim on his back. it tortures him with fevers and cki.ls. headaches and back ac hes. It leaves him a prey to pneu- monia• brocehitis, cin• umptionoand other deadly diseases. Its after efeets are often more serious than the disease itself. It is quite possible to avoid la grippe by keeping the blood rich and red by the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills—a tonic medicine which enriches the blood and strengthens the nerves. If. however. the disease attacks you. the patient should at once go to bed. and call a doctor before complications set in. That is the only safe thing to do. Hut to recover your strength after the severity of the attack has passed, you will find Dr. Williams' Pink Pills an unsurpassed tonic. Through the use of this medicine all the evil after effects of this trouble sill be banished This has been proved in thousands of cases throughout Canada. where in pre- vious seasons la grippe has attacked them. Among the. many thus restored to full health is Miss Irene Bootee, Ports- mouth, Ont.. who says—"l take much pleasure in recommending Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. because I have proved their worth in my own case. Last winter I had a severe attack of la grippe and it left me weak and all run down. I had severe pains_ in the chest and under the arms. palpitation 01 the heart and at- tacks of neuralgia which left me with the feeling that lite was scarcely worth living. I was advised to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and began their use only on the prin- ciple that 1 would try anything that might better my condition. I 'had $nly been using the pills a couple of weeks when the pains began to leave me. Grad• wally my strength returned. my appetite improved, and in a little more than a month I felt all my old-time vigor had re- turned. 1 am suicerely ;lad i was per- suaded to try Dr. Williams" Pink Pills. and i shall always have a good word to say for them. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills not only cure the disastrous after effects of la grippe. but are also a specific for all troubles due to poor blood. such as anaemia. rheuraa• tism. indigestion. women's ailments. and tl.e generally worn-out feeling that affects so many people.

Father McCormick at home was a good talk r and ver hospitable.

Yarisbio•ers Feel a Great Loss. . A further tribute to the memory of Father McCormick comes from one who knew him well: October, 1918, is one of chose date in the history of this community that will always bears meaning and a suggestion tar more outstanding than the mere point of time that it denotes: for it will never be so much as mentioned a ithout recall- ing the death of Father McCormick. To say that the sorrow felt a this event is widespread and general would fall far shirt of expressing the wle truth. Rather would it be more corn ct to say that the sorrow felt is indiv dual. and that each member of the parish suffered a bitter personal toss. We feel confide -it that the reasons for the unusual love and esteem in ahich Father McCormick was held would be difficult to express even for those who loved him most. Perhaps a brief review of his soj ,urn in the vicinity will give some idea. Eighteen years ago Father McCormick came t, A-hfiel.i to fill 1 vacancy made by the death of Father Dern. it might br suggested that such a period of time Sould naturally endear a pastor to his people. but the favor Father Mc- Cormick enjoyed from the beginning of his mission here would at once preclude such an explanation. Loyaly vs h;s calling and scrupulous fidelity to his priestly duties characterised lits whole life as a A PATRIOTIC DUTY Almost as vital as that of protecting the honor of flag and country, is the duty of protecting and safe -guarding health. When strength is well-nigh exhauster and the resistive powers are reduced, then is the time disease germs are the most potent and when COII'S EMISI affords splendid and effectual means of offsetting the tendency toward weakness and protecting strength. The abundant tonic and unique nourishing properties of Scott's Emulsion make it a dependable agent that may be used everyday, by anyone, toprotect strength. -.Oh. Platt' & 55, u...
