Fainting Spells and Dizziness 
Follow La Grippe. 
We Hear Less About this Disease than Formerly, 
but it is Still Very Prevalent. 
From the New Era, Greens bury, Ind , 
A noteworthy instance of the fallibility 
of even the most skillful physicians is fur¬ 
nished in the case of Mrs. J. E Smith, of 
Greensburg, Ind. 
For four years Mrs Smith was afflicted 
with a nervous affection that finally left 
her almost completely helpless add which 
the physician who first attended her said 
positively could not be cured. Subse¬ 
quently, a number of physicians in this 
and other cities, declared her case to be 
hopeless. 
To-day in spite of the verdict of the 
doctors, and without their aid, Mrs. 
Smith is perfectly well. To a New Era 
reporter she told the story of her extra¬ 
ordinary recovery. 
“ Five years ago I had a severe attack of la grippe, 
followed later by another. During the four years 
following, my health continued to decline, until 
finally, I was hardly able to move. 
“ After having the grippe,” said Mrs. Smith, “ 1 was 
able to be about for awhile, and to do some work 
But in a short time after the second attack I began 
to experience nervousness, and often had fainting 
spells, my trouble being similar to hysterics. I 
gradually grew worse, and in a short while I became 
subject to such spells of nervousness that I could do 
no work, being scarcely able to move about the house. 
I could not sleep and could not eat. I would lie awake 
nights, my muscles twitching continuously. My 
physician called it nervousness of the throat and 
breast, and after treating me for several months said 
that my case or any case like mine positively could 
not bo cured. Different physicians in Greensburg 
and other cities who attended me, agreed that my 
case was hopeless. For three years I lingered in 
misery, trying different doctors and remedies, but 
none did me any noticeable good. Finally my drug¬ 
gist advised me to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for 
Pale People, which was so highly recommended by 
newspapers. As a last resort I tried them, thinking 
that if they did me no good death might soon give me 
relief. The first dose helped me. and with every dose 
I improved. I took about three boxes and a half and 
was completely cured, as you see me to-day, perfectly 
healthy and able to do all my own work." 
Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills contain, in a 
condensed form, all the elements neces¬ 
sary to give new life and richness to the 
blood and restore shattered nerves. They 
are also a specific for troubles peculiar 
to females, such as suppressions, irregu¬ 
larities and all forms of weakness. They 
build up the blood, and restore the glow 
of health to pale and sallow cheeks. In 
men they effect a radical cure in all cases 
arising from mental worry, overwork or 
excesses of whatever nature. Pink Pills 
are sold in boxes (never in loose bulk) 
at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50, 
and may be had of all druggists, or direct 
by mail by addressing Dr. Williams’ 
Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y.
