with regard to DR.. James Headache
Powders. 1 have no hesitation in COM
mending them to sufferers from headache.
They relieve the pain speedily, and, 1
have never known anyone to be harmed
by their use. l have been a great suffer
er from headache in my life, but have al
most gotten rid of it by the constant use
of hot water and fruit, by doing without
coffee. The DR.. James Headache Pow
ders have, however, greatly relieved me at
times, and I never allow myself to be
without them, and have recommended
them to others freely.
