NERVOUS HEADACHE
And Numbness in the Hands and
Arms.
This Iowa Woman Was in a Serious
Condition and Her Cure
Will Interest MANY,

A cure Of unusual interest and I'm.
portance is related by Mrs. J. II. Nor
gan, Of Correctionville, Iowa. After
being a hopeless sufferer from sick
headaches, she is now entirely FREQ
from attacks. She tells of her cure
by DR.. Williams Pink Pills, as follows:
Some years ago l was in a terribly
nervous and rundown condition and
suffered greatly from nervous head
aches. was treated for three months
by a specialist in Chicago, who advised
me to wear glasses, but he did not
help me. My head seemed as though it
would burst, and l had frequent dizzy
spells. I was in despair of getting
well until l read about DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People and began
taking them. A few boxes cured me
and since then l have used them as a
family medicine.
Before the birth Of my last child I
suffered untold agony with pain and
numbness in my hands and arms up to
the shoulders. My hands we're SO
swollen and the muscles so sore that I
could hardly dress myself. For a time
/ could not close my left hand. During
the day if l kept moving the pain did
not seem to be so bad, but my hands
were always numb. I again used DR..
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People
and found them good for this trouble
also, as they entirely relieved me"
Unless properly treated sick head
ache is a disease Of many years dura-
ton, as it occurs before the twentieth
year in two-thirds of the cases and re-
ours with more or less regularity until
the fiftieth year or later. 1t is usually
hereditary and is probably directly
caused by a defect in the process
which changes the food we eat into
blood. Most sufferers are troubled
with obstinate constipation which
makes it necessary to use a laxative.
An ideal combination treatment is

pie and the new laxative pills, Pink
