II Sick Headache Remedy.-A remedy for
the sick headache, which has been recentlyofered
10 the public, is attracting great attention. not only
by reason Of the very satisfactory testimonials TO
its efficacy which have been volunteered by many
who have been benefited by il, but also because
there great number of people who are af-
Hicted with the distressing complaint, for which
no medicine has before been made public. DR..
Eastman who discovered the efficacy of his 'rem-
edy,' is physician in this city, in high standing,
with large practice. He is physician in whom
great confidence is placed; and we do not wonder
that his remedy for very common disease, which
has been 80 ongneeded, has attractedthe attention
ofa sufferers from headache who have heard of it.
From our own knowledge Of DR.. Eastman's char
acter and practice, we have doubt that the med
icine deserves the favor il receives and that will
prove 10 be great benefit TO all who may give it
a trial.-Lyaa NeDS, December 49, 1853.
