IL Sick Headache Remedy.-A remedy for
the sick headache, which has been recently offered
TO the public, is attracting great attention, not only
by Of the very satisfactory testimonials TO
its efficacy which have been volunteered by many
who have been benefited by il, but also because
there are so great a number Of people who are af-
ncted with the distressing complaint, for which
no medicine has before been made public. DIR.
Eastman, who discovered the efficacy of his "rem-
edy," is physician in this city in high standing,
with a 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 so long needed has attractedthc ateation
ofall sufferers from headache who have heard of il.
From our own knowledge of DR.. Eastman's char
acter and practice we have 20 doubt that the med.
cne deserves the favor il receives and that il will
