Safe Treatment for Headache.

The rational treatment for headaene
Is to get at the cause, if possible, ana
remove it. Headache is only symp-
tom of trouble somewhere in the sys-
tenn, and dosing with tablets or powders
Containing acetanilid or other coal-tar
derivatives which stop the pain tempo
rarily but weaken the heart, is at once
unsafe and unwise. The headache may
come from your eyes, then good ocu-
list can help you at once with proper
eyeglasses: but if it comes with furred
tongue, loss of appetite, nausea. ana
constipation, it is usually the result
of disordered digestion, or torpid liver,
and one or two doses of L. F. Atwood's
Medicine will speedily help sou by
carrying off impurities and restoring
the clogged digestive organs to their
normal activity. In using this cid re.
liable remedy, you take no chances OF
weakening the hearts action.
