its being widely tested rs specific for
sick headache with highly favorable re-
suits. The medical writers state that the
kind of headache most likely to be bene-
! fitted is that arising from :: hysterical tenn
permanent, but it has been proven that it
will give relief ito others. 1t will not
act in every instance, but it will prove
efficacious in so large a number of cases
that it should be brought to the notice of
every one who suffers from this trouble
some disease.
The common way of using it is to take
about two-thirds of a teaspoonful in a little
water when the first svmtoms of the head
ache are felt following it with another
dose in the course of four or five hours.
