When a person is strong, hearty, able to enjoy a brisk cold day, chills and infections are set at defiance. But when the system ,is run down, when the nerves are shaky and the blood watery, the germs of Influenza are quick to seize their opportunity. It is therefore good policy to keep the blood always rich, red and strong, and the nerves well nourished by the use of such at reliable tonic as Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. People who take these pills from tine to time are usually able to resist colds, influenza and other ailments, and enjoy good health while many about then are weak, ailing and miserable, To those who have been attacked by influenza, the after effects are more dangerous than the attack it- self, They are left at the mercy of relapses and complications. There is a persistent weakness of the limbs, shortness of breath at the least ex- ertion, poor digestion and a tendency to take cold easily. This contrition will persist and will grow worse un- less the blood is built up and the shattered nerves strengthened. Por this purpose there is no tonic can equal br. Williams' Pink Pills, From first to last dose these pills make new, rich, red blood, which reaches every organ and every nerve in the body. Thus the lingering germs ae driven out, the appetite IA •'WI- provetl, and weak, despondent vic- tims of influenza are transformed into cheerful, healthy, happy Hien and wo- men. 16 you have passed through an attack of influenza you will finial Dr, Williams' Pink Pills the one thing need- ed . to restore you to full health and strength. if the trouble has passed you, you can further strengthen your self against its' insidious advance by the use of this same tonic medicine. Metiicue dealers everywhere sell Dr, Williams' 'Pink Pills, or you can pro - dare tlet by for at 50 cents a box. or six boxes for 52.10'by writing the Dr. Williams' Medicine Co,, Brockville, Ont, v,t+l'a'pies, ftaly, pians to construct large drydooks.

'It is surprising how many farmers are selling out. Possiblythe reason is to be found in the fact that.the past four years have been so profitable to them that they have greatly unproved • their financial position, and can thus affordtoretire re i e business. Froi n Be- sides, the values of farms have increas- ed so greatly that they thing it a good time to sell; Two of the latest to sell, in this vicinity are Ed. Morrison and, George Glenn, The former sold his fine farm on the second concession of,,Stanley to Walter Stevens, of Blake for $8,500 and the litter sold his. farts on the London road, Tucker- Sntith, to.

When a person is strong, hearty, able to enjoy a brisk cold day, chills and infections are set at defiance. But when the system ,is run down, when the nerves are shaky and the blood watery, the germs of Influenza are quick to seize their opportunity. It is therefore good policy to keep the blood always rich, red and strong, and the nerves well nourished by the use of such at reliable tonic as Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. People who take these pills from tine to time are usually able to resist colds, influenza and other ailments, and enjoy good health while many about then are weak, ailing and miserable, To those who have been attacked by influenza, the after effects are more dangerous than the attack it- self, They are left at the mercy of relapses and complications. There is a persistent weakness of the limbs, shortness of breath at the least ex- ertion, poor digestion and a tendency to take cold easily. This contrition will persist and will grow worse un- less the blood is built up and the shattered nerves strengthened. Por this purpose there is no tonic can equal br. Williams' Pink Pills, From first to last dose these pills make new, rich, red blood, which reaches every organ and every nerve in the body. Thus the lingering germs ae driven out, the appetite IA •'WI- provetl, and weak, despondent vic- tims of influenza are transformed into cheerful, healthy, happy Hien and wo- men. 16 you have passed through an attack of influenza you will finial Dr, Williams' Pink Pills the one thing need- ed . to restore you to full health and strength. if the trouble has passed you, you can further strengthen your self against its' insidious advance by the use of this same tonic medicine. Metiicue dealers everywhere sell Dr, Williams' 'Pink Pills, or you can pro - dare tlet by for at 50 cents a box. or six boxes for 52.10'by writing the Dr. Williams' Medicine Co,, Brockville, Ont, v,t+l'a'pies, ftaly, pians to construct large drydooks.

'It is surprising how many farmers are selling out. Possiblythe reason is to be found in the fact that.the past four years have been so profitable to them that they have greatly unproved • their financial position, and can thus affordtoretire re i e business. Froi n Be- sides, the values of farms have increas- ed so greatly that they thing it a good time to sell; Two of the latest to sell, in this vicinity are Ed. Morrison and, George Glenn, The former sold his fine farm on the second concession of,,Stanley to Walter Stevens, of Blake for $8,500 and the litter sold his. farts on the London road, Tucker- Sntith, to.
