hereditary insanity or despair over
MS failure TO carve out a successful
career.

Lutheran ministry. he returned 70
newspaper work, which he had fol

When your head aches, there

This irritation produces pain
in the head, and the turbulent

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 reliev-

was perhaps the largest in the history
