Plenty of exercise should be taken; the dietshould be regulated, eto. Spanish Influenza affects most severely elderly persons and others whose powers of resistance are weakened by illness, work or worry, especially those who are" run-down" fr "not feeling up to the mark."

Bushell, Sec.-Treas. and Manager, 1918. Pte. LaBell, Pte. Dupras, Strong People Needed c The need for people' to be healthy is urgent. Those whom illness has put outside the ranks of robust men and women feel their position keen- ly. They are handicapped in every walk of life and weak men and nerve-worn women need more earn- estly than ever to put their health right and become active and strong. Many who began "patching' months ago are as ill now as on the day they began vainly tinkering with common drugs. Every ailing man and wo- man should remember that the ills of debility, nerve exhaustion, indiges- tion, sleeplessness, neuralgia, and depression come from a faulty blood supply. Worry, over-work or other causes have impoverished the blood and left the life;stream impure. The nerves thereby are starving and the whois system is languishing for new blood. In this condition many thou- sands have won back strong nerves and new health and strength through the new rich 'blood Dr. Williams' Pink Pills actually makes. In a weak or bloodless condition it is not only a waste of time and money, but also a further menace to your health to tinker with common drugs. Fol- jow the example of so many thou-| sands by giving Dr. Williams' Pink Pills a fair trial, and they will trans- form you into healthy," active, men and women. You can get these pills through any dealer in medicine, or by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., of Ottawa, and the Kingston Indus- [ Brockville, Ont.
