In an old "story, "Gargantua and Pantagruel,"" by Rabelais, Gargantua's' father, wishing to celebrate his son's return, gives a monstrous banquet. Sixteen oxen, three cows, thirty. two calves, seventy-three goats, nine- 220 partridges, 6,000 chickens and seventy- ways for the delectation of thie guests! In days gone by plenty of banquets avere given which approached this menu in magnificence. In 1549 Parls gave a "banquet to There were served thirty peacocks, thirty- three pheasants, six pigs, twenty-one swans, thirty-three hares, sixty-three cockerels, sixty-six rabbits, thirty goats, sixty-six capons, ninety-nine chickens, ninety-nine quails, -20- 1b, of asparagus, 180 1b. of peas, etc. : The sixteenth century seems to have been the greediest period in history, for we have many records of alarm. ingly big dinners, =~ 'Louis XIV. of Frénce was fond of 'enormous dinner-parties.

The danger from this. trouble is seldom over 'when the characteristic symp- 'toms, the fever, headache and the de- pression of. spirits have passed away. Influenza leaves behind it weakened vital powers, thin blood, impaired di 'gestion and oversensitive nerves, Men and women who were robust before stricken with. influenza find their bodies racked by pains previously un. known to them. This condition is due to an abnormal thinning ,of the blood Land leaves the system an easy prey to other serious troubles. This Is the time when the convalescent from in- | fluenza should build up the blood, with a reliable blood-making tonic such as-Dr. Willams' Pink Pills. Weak blood means impoverished nerves, im- paired digestion, a feeling of tiredness after even. slight exertion, and some- times even more serious symptoms. When the blood regains its rich red duality the organs of the body func} tion naturally, In fact, building up the blood will vitalize the whole system. The experience of Mr. Andrew Marty, Bathurst, N'B., will prove of value to a host of influenza sufferers who still suffer from the effects of [tite disease. "Mr. Marty says: -- The new -life' and consequently new hope brought into my life through the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills is almost beyond 'my power of expression, Fol- lowing a severe attack of influenza in 1918 I found myself rapidly failing in health, and was naturally much alarmed. 'I began to lose in weight, could not eat, did not sleep well, and in a word I was reduced to a mere shadow. I was forced to discontinue work because of my weakened condi- tion and things had a very blue out- 'look. I tried a number of suggested remedies, but without benefit: = And then one day Dr. Williams' Pink Pills were suggested to me. I acted on my friend's advice, began taking = these pills -and soon felt an jmprovement, Hvery day I seemed to grow stronger, (and after four weeks' treatment I felt fully restored to my old-time health. From my own experience I feel that, if given a fair trial, there is no medi- 'cine superior to Dr. Willams' Pink Pills in building up a run down 8ys- tem." Dr. Willams' Pink Pills are a tonic, not a stimulant. They build up the blood, and not only the disastrous af- ter affects of influenza but also. troub- les due to poor blood; such as anaemia, | an. rheumatism, indigestion and the gener-. Lally. worn-ont feeling that affects so many people, disappear. You can. get these pills through any dealer in medi- cine, or by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.60 from The Dr. Wil.
