Every sufferer from nervous headache
knows how completely it units one for
the duties and pleasures of life. Anv
little excitement, or ovcr-cxcrtion, or IT.
regularity brings it on. Sometimes the
pain Is over the whole head. Again il
is like nail driven into the brain, or a
wedge splitting 1t open, or band tight
ening about it. At one time it is all in
the top of the head, at another it is all
Rt the base of the skull.
Most headaches can be traced TO some
faulty state Of the blood. When the
blood is scanty OF charged with poison.
and the nerves are impcrfcctly nourishcd
and the digestion weak. one Of the COM
monest results is frequent and severe
headaches.
The important thing Is TO get rid Of the
diseased condition of the blood that
causes the attack by the use of n remedy
that will do the work quickly aud
thoroughly. What is that remedy? The
experience Of Miss Ellen McKcuna fur
nishes the answer. She says:
IOI more IMAM seven years i was n
great sufferer from nervous hcadachea and
dizziness. My stomach was disordered,
aud | became so restless that I could not
sit still any length Of time. Dizziness
interrupted my work greatly. AT first
the attacks were not so severe. but they
gradually grew more violent. and finally
became so acute that I was on the point
