HEADACHES CURED
WHY NOT2

If the X-RAY Headache Tablets
cure headache more promptly, are
more convenient in form, and more
effective in action than any other
remedy on the market WHY NOT
USE THEM?
We are anxious to place the X
RAY headache tablets in compe-
tition with any remedy on the
market.
A single trial will convince any
one of their superior merits.
