A busy city physician enjoying a large annual Income remarked the other day that a host of young peo- ple—boys and girls—were suffering this month from the after effects of winter grippe. Dear parents, have any of your) children suffered from an attack of the cruel monster grippe during the past winter months? Are your boys and girls irritable, feverish, pale or weak? Have they cold and clammy limbs? Is the -blood watery, impure | or sluggish? Is the appetite poor and digestion weak? Has the rose tint of health faded from the cheeks? If any of these conditions are noted, be as- sured the dregs of deadly grippe are | implanted in the system. If your children are not blithe- | some, happy, boisterous and strong in May thelr condition calls for prompt action on your part, Their future—health and physical happi- ness or sufferings and early death— is in your hands, dear parents, and you alone are responsible to Heaven and the community of which you form a part. ‘When winter grippe has implanted seeds of virulent diseases the figst and most important work is to expel from the blood every trace of poison. This is always successfully accom- plished by the use of Paine's Celery Compound. This marvellous medicine after purifying the foul and stagnant blood | acts as a nerve food.
