SHORTNESS OF BREATH,
Frequently One of the Unpleasant After-
Effects of the Grip.
From the Bulletin. Providence, R. I.
It has been noticed that- shortness
of breath is frequently one of the
unpleasant symptoms which attend
!he after-effects of the grip and as
this indicates an alarming poverty
of (he blood, prompt treatment
cannot be too strongly urged when
it becomes apparent.
The case of Mrs.Williams Adam°,
of 18 Putnam street, Providence, R.
I, is a recent example of a method
of treatment that has proved mo-t
highly efficacious in cases oi this
nature. Mrs. Adams, when inter
viewed concerning her experience,
said:

and was confined to my bed eight
long weeks. When the disease had
run its course it left me so prostrat

The Sworn Statement
Woman.
From the Evening News, Detroit, Mich.
Miss Annie Patterson, of 12 Grant
Court, Detroit, Mich,, is a bright, in
telligent woman who tells an in
teresting story of a time when she
stared death in the face, when doc
tors could offer but little hope, a
time which she now shudders to re
call. Her story follows as told in
her own words, the facts being
sworn to before a notary public in
order to convince those who might
regard the interview as overdrawn.
Miss Patterson says:
“About four years ago I became
afflicted with heart trouble and gen
eral debility Occasionally I felt a
pain in my back and then it would
seem to thrill through every nerve
of my body. My strength gradual
ly diminished until I was unable to
do any work, however light- The
doctors I consulted gave me only
slight temporary relief and I had

my former health when I happened

What the Pink Pills Are.
Dr Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale
People are not a patent medicine,
but a prescription used for many
years by an eminent practitioner
who produced the most wonderful
results with them, curing all forms
of weakness arising from a watery
condition of the blood or shaitered
nerves, two fruitful causes of al
most every ill to which flesh is heir.
Acting directly on the blood and
nerves these pills have proved a
boon to women, invigorating the
body and regulating the functions
of the exhausted patient.
