ment-How She Was Cured.
Every sufferer from nervous headache
knows how completely it units one for
the duties and pleasures of life. ANY
little excitement, or over-exertion, or ir-
regularity brings it on. Sometimes the
pain is over the whole head. Again it
is like a nail driven into the brain, or a
wedge splitting it open, or band tight
ening aboht it, At one time it is all in
the top of the head, at another it is all
at the base of the skull.
Most headaches can be traced to some
faulty state of the blood When the
blood is scanty or charged with poison,
and the nerves are imperfectly nourished
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 a remedy
that will do the work quickly and
thoroughly. What is that remedy? The
experience of Miss Ellen McKenna fur
nishes the answer. She says:
For more than seven years was a
great sufferer from nervous headache and
dizziness. My stomach was disordered,
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 was ON the point
of relinquishing my membership in the
different organizations to which I be-
longed.'
