LA GRIPPE'S VICTIMS Left Weak, Miserable and Prey to Disease in Many Forms One of the most treacherous dis- eases afflicting the people of Can- ada during the winter months is la grippe, or influenza. It almost in- variably ends with a complication of troubles. It tortures its vic- tims with alternate fevers and chills, headaches and backaches. It leaves him an easy prey to pneu- monia, bronchitis, and even con- sumption. Indeed the deadly af- ter-effects of la grippe may leave the victim a chronic invalid. You can avoid la grippe entirely by keeping the blood rich and red by *n occasional use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. If you have not done this and the disease attacks you, you can banish its deadly after-ef- fects through tin- use of this same great blood-building, nerve-restor- ing medicine. Here is proof of the wonderful power of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills over this trouble. Mr. Emmanuel Laurin, St. Je- rome, Que., says: "I was seized with a severe attack of la grippe. I was obliged to stop work and re- main in my bed for several weeks, and while I appeared to get over the first stages of the trouble, I did not regain my usual health. I suf- fered from headaches, loss of ap- petite and extreme weakness. I did not sleep well at nights, and would arise in the morning feeling tired and worn out. This continu- ed for about two months during which time I was taking treatment, but apparently without avail. Then I was advised to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and I got a half dozen boxes. By the time I had taken three boxes there was a decided improvement, and actually before I had completed the sixth box I was enjoying my old-time health. I was strong as ever, could sleep well and eat well, and no longer Buffered from lassitude and headaches. I have pMved the value of Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills for the jxjrnici- ous after-effects 'of la grippe, and can there? .re recommend them to other sufferers." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills cure by going to the root of the trouble in the blood, which they enrich, and make red nnd pure. These pills "cure all troubles due to bad blood, and if .u are ailing you should etart to cure yourself to-day by taking this great medicine.

Toronto Man Cured of Intolerable Itch THE FIDDLER AND THE KINO. Frederick William I, of Prusaia Could Take a Joke. The severity of the Prussian King, Frederick William I, especially to- ward the son who became Frederick the Gren/t, has given him a perhaps undeserved reputation for stern- nesa. Anecdotes that reveal gentler qualities are related in "The House of Hohenzollern." One anecdote in particular shows that Frederick William could even take a rebuke good-humo redly. In Berlin assemblies and dinner- parties were often given, and the king wan a frequent 'guest at the houses of the foreign envoys and at the houses of his own subjects. He was always most amiable on these occasions, and, with his jokea and gaiety, quite the life of the evening. When the King of Poland, Augus- tus the Strong, visited Berlin, he was accompanied by the famous vio- linist, Locatelli. Although Freder- ick William hated virtuosi, he was abliged to listen to this artist, who appeared in a coat of blue velvet embroidered with silver. "The fellow looka like, a minister of war, at least!" the king ejacu- lated. But wishing to be civil, he sent him twenty thalers by a ser- vant. The artist sent the king his hom- age and thanks, but handed the money as a gratuity to the servant who had brought it. On hearing of this, Frederick William was indignant, and com- plained to Augustus of the impu- dence, of his fiddler. Augustus, however, pointed out that an artist of the eminence of Locatelli was ac- customed to receive pre.sents of gold watches, snuff-boxes nnd diamond rings. Frederick William, therefore, de- cided to have a laugh at him. A second concert was arranged, after which the Prussian King himself QUEBEC FARMER TELLSJJOOD NEWS FOUND COMPLETE CURE FOB CRASH'S AND KIDNEY DISEASE.

Yes, I am feeling so well that I want other sufferers to know just how easy it is to be cured." It is a good old saying that it is eaiy to do anything if you just know how. And MP. Bernard and hundreds of others are telling you just how to cure kidney disease. Dodd's Kidney Pills always cure it.
