My case has been very curious one for
about thirteen years. AT intervals of about
one week weuld be attacked with spells
of severe and most eXcruciating pain, al.

affect my body and head, aud seemed to
penetrate my very eye-balls, creating the
most intense suffering, lasting about eight
hours each spell. n HNltNru7

case, but none gave relief. ! finally used
b. B. B. as an experiment, and to my utter
establishment all pain and suffering vanished
after using three doses. To the present
time have used three bottles, and not
pain has ever returned, / do not know
