Sick
Headache

When your head aches, there
is storm in the nervous sys-
TEN, centering in the brain.
This irritation produces pain
in the head, and the turbulent
nerve current sent to the stom-
ach causes nausea, vomiting.
This is sick headache, and
is dangerous, as frequent and
prolonged attacks weaken the
brain, resulting in loss of
memory, inflammation, cpl
lepsy, fits, dizziness, etc.
Allay this stormy, irritated,
aching condition by taking
DR.. Miles Anti-Pain Pills.
They stop the pain by sooth-
ing, strengthening and relicv-
ing the tension upon the nerves
NOT by paralyzing them, as
do most headache remedies.
DIR. Miles Anti-Pain Pills do
not contain opium, morphine,
choral Cocaine or similar drugs.
Sick headache Ia hereditary in my
family. My father suffered a great
