taking the powders as directed. One
powder will probably stop headache,
but take another in half an hour, II
relief does not come.
Head-Ease is a safe and harmless
remedy Usually the most injurious
compounds are made for stopping
headaches. Most people are more
fearful of the after effects than the
headache and are quite willing to suf-
fer the pain.
We have yet 10 hear of case
where Head-Ease has failed to stop
headache.
We have many kind words for
Head Ease from those who have been
relieved OF pain by it's use. 1t is a
commOn-sense remedy. 1t acts dl-
rectly on the nerves and organs which
control and regulate the circulation OF
the blood. 1t Immediately relieves
the congestion in the vessels OF the
brain which is the cause of headache
