The arrival liable of Pte, John R,

suspense over whether he was killed

Runs and had. been sent with many
others to Cologne, Germany, from

soldier boy had written on the first
available opportunity but the letter
never arrived at the parental hone.
In the Gambrel struggle the Allies
had been striven hack from ground
taken and Pte. Kirkconnell with many
others who had been wounded were
left to the tender mercy of the enemy.
Ile had been wounded by having his
right foot shattered and lay for 4 days
before he was found and medically
treated. His kg was amputated
about half way between the ankle and
knee and he is hopeful to soon have an
artificial foot to enable hint to throw
away his Crutches. There were 5,400

GENERAL DEBILITY
FOLLOWS INFLUENZA

Making Toni:
Debility is a loss of vitality not
affecting any one part of the body
particularly, but the system general-
ly. It is dangerous because it re-
duces the body's resistance to dis-
ease. When debility follows acute
diseases, convalescence is slow, and
one's strength does not return as it
should. An attack of influenza often
results in debility that persists for
months. Everybody recognizes that
the remedy for debility is to build up
the blood, because the blood goes to
every part of the body, and any im-
provement in its condition is quickly
felt throughout the system,
in cases of simple anaemia, of de-
bility following acute diseases such
as fevers or influenza, Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills will be found valuable be-
cause they really build up the blood
and strengthen the nerves. There Is
no other medicine as valuable for
growing children, and for Wren and
women whose nervous energy has.
been overdrawn. They are worth a
fair triad 01 every case where thin
blood and weak nerves have stated
the trouble. The value of Dr. Wil-
liams' Pink Pills has been proved in
the hone of Mrs, John Franc, Owen
Sound, who says: "My daughter
Mabel was troubled with e bad
cough; she was pale, weak and her
appetite was very poor, indeed I fear-
ed that she was going into decline.
A friend advised the use of Dr. Wil-
liams' Pink Pills and after taking
eight poses she was again enbiy'ing
the best of health. Again last at -
limn Spanish influenza attacked cur
house, and after the ,tecta symptoms
were past, both myself and another
daughter were left very hutch run
down. Aly daughter was so weak
that she could not walk to school .Ind
would tremble when site got upn„ her
feet. I was so weak myself that I
could not do my heus.,work. Again
we resorted to Dr, Williams' Pink
Pills, and in each case the took five
boxes, When we were as well as ever
we had been. 1 never enloyed better
health than I an now doing, and ant
able again to do my him Sew( After
our experience it is not possible for
me to say too Hauch in favor of Dr,
Williams' Pink Pills,"
You can get Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills through any dealer in medicine,
or by mall at 50 cents a box or six
boxes for 52,30 from The Dr. Williams'
