32 MY QUEEN. S_____.-_ sy Sumit eee AFTER GRIP WHAT? - Lhe Perilous Period Which Follows an Attack of this Mysterious Malady. Grip is bad enough with its aching bones, in- flamed eyes, painful back, and fever. But its after effects are perhaps even more to be dreaded than the misery attendent on an attack of the disease itself. The person who comes safely through an attack of grip, man, woman, or child, is left in a condition of peculiar debility and prostration from which it is difficult to rally. A slight cold or cough may find speedy termina- tion in lung disease. Ordinary exposure results in pneumonia. The disease seeme to deplete the » \ try aN Mn v vitality, undermine the strength, and affect the balance of the mind. It is one of the sad experi- ences of the grip, that the convalescent supposed to be rallying well, has been found in a condition of complete collapse. As a result of the grip the lungs, and other or- gans of respiration, seem peculiarly liable to be affected, and consumption may easily be the after consequence of the malady, It needs noargument therefore to urge the building up of the system wenkened by grip to enable it to resist and throw off these sequent diseases which so frequently rove fatal. | ; In actual test Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Dis- - Buffalo, NY. covery has proved itself peculiarly valuable not only in the quick cure of the disease but also in rebuilding the body which grip has undermined, and in curing diseases which are prone to fasten on the enfeebled system. It strengthens the stomach, heals the lungs, and purifies the blood. It puts the whole body on a plane of sound and vigorous health, A VICTIM OF GRIP. - Two years ago this month I had an attack of grip which left my throat and lungs in bad con- dition,’ writes Mrs. M. E. Stewart, of Center, Chickasaw Nation, Ind. Ter. ‘The doctor said I had disease of the bronchial tubes, but confessed to my husband (unknown to me), that I had consumption in the first stage and could never be cured; but, thanks to God and to Dr. Pierce, to-day I feel well, andam better now than I have been for many years. I ean do as much work now as any woman of my age, which is forty- seven. One of my neighbor women advised me to get Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery, so I sent and got it, and then I was not satisfied with it alone, hardly believing it would cure me, so I wrote to Dr. Pierce and gave him my symptoms. He replied that I had catarrh of the head, ex- tending to my lungs, and told what would cure me. I took his advice—never neglected it for anything. I have taken seventeen bottles of ‘Golden Medical Discovery,’ eight vials of Dr. Pierce’s Pellets, and ten packages of Dr. Sage’s Catarrh Remedy. I do not regret that I spent the money paid for the medi- cines. J have gained twenty-four pounds. Indeed, Dr. Pierce’s medicines have done wonders for me. It is no use for me to try to tell my feelings. It would take time and space, but I wasa skeleton and so poor and so down-hearted I could not look at one of my little ones without shedding tears, think- ing that they would soon be left without a mother.” HOW STRENGTH IS RESTORED. Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery deals directly with the stomach and blood. It seeks to bring the stomach up to the level of strong, healthfu lfood. When this is done, the body gains in strength, puts on flesh, throws off disease, and enters on a new life. That these results follow the use of ‘Golden Medical Discovery’ is proved by the testi- mony of thousands of weak, run-down men and women, and by their cure, by the use of ‘Discovery,’ of diseases of lungs, heart, kid- neys, liver, etc., which originated in the dis- ease of the stomach and its allied organs of digestion and nutrition. “Three years ago I had the grip,” writes Mrs. Tillie Linney, of Gravel Switch, Marion Co., Ky. ‘It settled on my lungs, and the doctor said I had consumption. I took six bottles of ‘Golden Medical Discovery,’ and am thankful to say I am entirely well.’ owe ge ate invited to eonsult Dr, Pierce by letter, free.
