Prevent
 As We'll As Cure Headache

If subject to headache, take Dr. Miles Anti-P ain Pills when you feel the first indication of an attack, and you will find that they rarely ever fail to step further progress.
 Pain weakens the nerves, and the longer you suffer, the more frequent will be the attacks.
 On the contrary, if the nerves are relieved of this weakening influence, the at tacks will be less frequent, and finally disappear altogether.
 Dr. Miles Anti-Pain Pills contain no opium, cocaine, mor- phine or chloral in any form. They are absolutely harmless if taken as directed, and will have no ether effect, except to drive out the pain.
 'Dr. Miles Anti-Pain Pills are all right, and can recommend them to ache, neuralgia, or pain of any kind. My health is not very good, and l am subject to frequent attacks Of severe headache, but since ] began taking Dr. Miles Anti-Pain Pills l do not suffer from that trouble as l used to. They never fail to give relief in few minutes, and if taken promptly on the approach of headache will prevent an attack from coming on. Pain Pills prevent, as well as cure"
 MRS. VIM PEDRICK,

NEW YORK, July ga slight

tional reason for skepticism over the

orably commented upon and was con.
sidcred TO make Il strong showing. The
decrease in. the volume Of unified or

ming oil the previous quarter was con-
sidered moderate i'll view of the lull
known to have occurred in the trade.
