TREATMENT FOR
SICK HEADACHE
A New Method Of Cure That Will
Interest Every Sufferer.
Made Possible by Special LAXATIVE
Designed to Be Used with the
Tonic Treatment.

Mrs. Annie M. Lewis, OF r. +. ID,
No. 10, Gardiner, Me-, suffered for a
number of years from sick headaches.
She says:
al suffered from periodical sick head
aches for great many years. Besides
taking headache powders, was treated
by doctors, but was able TO get only
slight relief for the headaches always
returned. They were so severe that
would often have TO go TO bed for day
or so. IL was impossible for me to 90

stronger and healthier than in years.
The headaches have disappeared and

my cure is sufficient reason why /
should recommend DR.. Williams Pink
Pills TO all sufferers from sick head
aches"
As a rule a sufferer from sick head
ache can tell hours, sometimes days, in
advance, when the headache is coming
on. This fact makes il possible TO use
q laxative, as soon as the approach OF
an attack is discovered, TO eliminate
the poison from the system and prevent
the attack or in great measure mod
crate its severity. A new laxative,
PINKLErs, designed to be used in con-
nection with DR.. Williaps' Pink Pills,
affords aperfect combination treatment.
We have prepared pamphlet that
not only describes fully the laxative
tonic treatment of sick headache and
gives specific directions for the use OF
the remedies but contains also much
valuable information regarding diet, ex-
ercise and the management of the sick
room during an attack This pamphlet
will be sent free on request together
with a sample of PINKLErs, the little
laxative pills. Write today il you want
