Safe Treatment for Headache,

Ike rational treatment for headache
is to get at the cause, if possible, and
remove it. Headache is only symp-
tom Of trouble somewhere in the sys-
tenn, and dosing with tablets or powders
containing acetani-id or other coal-tar
derivatives which stop the pain tempo
raTily but weaken the heart, is at once
unsafe and unwise. The headache may
come from your eyes, then a good ocu-
list can help you at once with proper
eyeglasses; but if it comes with furred
tongue, loss Of appetite, nausea, and
constipation, it is usually the result
of disordered digestion, or torpid liver,
and enc or two doses of L. F. Atwood S
Medicine will speedily help you by
carrying off impurities and restoring
the clogged digestive organs to their
normal activity. In using this old re-
liable remedy, you take no chances of
weakening the hearts action.
1t has a record Of sixty years as a
safe headache remedy. The ''L. F."
