on his digestion. Constipation stops diges-

Cures All Headaches.
SAFE TO TAKE.
Sole Agents.

There is not the least reason
why anyone should suffer
with headache, when a re-
medy like Head-eaSe can be
had. 1t is a remedy that you
need not hesitate about talk
ing. 1t does not contain any
opium, antipyrine, hyoscya-
mus, morphine or other dan
gerous drugs. 1t is therefore
safe to take. There ATE no
disagreeable or bad after eff
fectS, the system does not
become habituated to its use;
you do not have to increase
the dose, and the stomach or
nervous system is not dis
turbed bv its use.
Head-ease is put up in
powder form, one dozen pow
ders in a box. 1t cures all
headaches from whatever
cause. The dose is one pow
der; another in 80 minutes;
but usually the first dose will
stop a headache.
