HEADACHE.

nR. Z. SPOIIN, German phy ysican Of much
IL note, having devoted his attention for some
years 10 the and removal Of the causes of
NERVOUS AND SICK HEADACHE, has the
satisfaction 10 make known. that he has a remedy
which by removing the causes efieciually and
permanently this distressing complaint. There are
many families who have considered Sick Headache
a constitutional incurable family complaint. DR.,
=. assures them that they are mistaken, and laborng
under distress which they might not only alleviate
but actually eradicate by the use of his remedy
1t is the result Of scientific research and is entire
ly Of different character from advertised patent
medicines, and is moi unpleasant TO the TASTE
HEADACHE, SICK OR NERVOUS.
The extraordinary repstaton that Dr. Spohn's
remedy tor this distressing complaint is every day
gaining is certainly matter Of much asionshment.
That much suffering should have existed for ages
without any discovery of an etecual preventive, or
cure, Is truly subject of much regret, but DR.. ,.
now assures the public that such remedy has been
invented as will convince the most credulOis. The
principles upon which II acts simple and PLAIN.
IL is an admitted fact that rhis complaint whether
called Sick Headache or Nervous Headache, arises
primarily from the stomach--these who think they
have the Nervous Headache may rest assured that
this organ the stomach is the hrst cause, that the
system has become vitiaed or debllltated, through
the stomach and that only through the same channel
must they expect a restoration of the natural and
healthy functions of the system.-1his object DIR.
Spohn's remedy is emnently calculated TO attain
The truth of this position cannot be controy ei ted
and the sooner sufferers with the headache become
convinced oft the sooner will their suiiefings end
in restoration of health. DIR. Spohn pledges his
professional reputation on this fact The remedy
may be had OF apoihecaries generally throughoutthe
Il nited States.
