Restored Through the Use of a Blood - Making Tonic, An epidemic of influenza, such as is now prevalent in many parts of Citn- ada, always leaves widespread suffer- ing in its waste. The disease itself is dallgel`ours, but the danger is seldom over when the characteristic symp- toms of tho trouble have passed. •There is lett behind depresrsion of spirits, weakened vital powers, thin blood, impaired digestion andover- sensitive llervee. Men and women who Were roburrt before stricken with in- flueuza find their bodies racked with pain previously unknown to tIiean. This is due to an abnormal thinning of the blood and leaves the systein an easy prey to other serious troubles. This Is the time when the convalescent. from influenza should build up the blood with a reliable bloodemaking tonic such as Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. When the blood regains its rich red duality the nerves recover their streegth and the organs of the body ;function naturally and the dangerous, d'epressing after-effeots of influenza 'disappear. Proof of the undoubted value of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills as a blood -builder and nerve tonic is shown by the case of Mrs.. R. 0. Stromberg, cobalt, Ont., who says:—"I had a very severe attack. •of grippe, or influenza, which confined me to my bed for a ,weeks On getting up again I dM not recover. my usual strength. I was very weak, had a severe pain in my head, fond a constant backache. I had' to get Ta woman to do my work for me as I had neither the strength nor the 'energy to do anything. At this stage, remembering the great benefit I had through Dr. Williams.' Pink Pills in girlhood, I began taking this medi- eiBie, and soon niy strength began to return. I am now able to do all my own work again, and take care of my baby boy. I am very grateful for what the pills have done for use, and hope my experience "will be of benefit to some other sufferer."

It is difficult to moasure in actual terms of disease the harm that will ultimately result, but one cannot fail to be impressed by the large number of children in Ontario who are handl- crap•ped as:the result of bad food habits, Fifteen per cent. of the physically "below normal" children throughout the province who present themselves to a physician for examination tell the same story, namely: a pronounced dis- like for milk, fresh vegetables (car- rots, cabbage, white turnips, beets, let- tuce, spinach and celery), freall or cooked fruits•, cooked cereal# and milk puddings.. These children eat chiefly package cereals, toast, jams and jel- lies., sweet biscuits, thin soups, meat, potatoes, pickles, cakes, pastry, sweets and "'highly eeas•oned foods with tea as a beverage, The lack of the first mentioned valuable foods in the diet is evident on examination: the child is materially below weight, le pale, has flabby muscles, tires easily, is irrit- able, has decayed teeth. suffers from digestive disturbances anti oonstipa- tion. Much, if not ail; of the responsibility for this condition of_affairs is due to apparent ignorance on the part of the parents and those associated with the child in infancy. No serious thought is given to the question of making it easy for the child of one or two years to acquire a liking for these whole- some, inexpensive and essential ar- ticles of its diet; in fact the opposite is the case. For some vague reason when twelve or fifteen months old the infant is required to take its allotted place at the family dinner table. Here, his unsweetened (but essentially nourishing) diet is supplemented by the misguided but well-meaning mem- bers of the family who give him "tastes" of all the strongly-flavoaed, highly -seasoned and attractively -color- ed articles of food on the table. He not only acquires (at once) a pro- nounced dislike for the food which is best suited for his present needs, but acquires a liking for those which may be distinctly harmful. Much of the trouble could be avoided if children up. until ;at least three years of age were served their meals away from the family table. While this may mean some little readjustment in the home, it will unquestionab:y result in a marked improvement in the health of ! the children said help prevent their being classed "below normal" a few years later.
