which has had sick headache from infancy, as a con-
stitutional family complaint, and has cured effec tually

hundreds. 1t is not unpleasant 10 the taste, and does
not prevent the daily avocations of one using it it
must be persevered in: and the cure IS gradual, but
certaln aud permanent. Instances are constantly
multiplying where this distressing complaint is com
pIetely relieved and cured, although of years standing
by the use of DR.. Spohn's celebrated remedy. One
decided preference is its pleasantness, having none of
the nauseating effect OF C ommon drugs.
It Is so perfectly satisfactory ira The proprietor has
given direction for his agents 10 refund the price to
