trying to render such boats safer for

will not generate the deadly chlorine

sea water. He has other and not less
important IDEAS in view.
One suggestion OF his is that oxygen

he says: physicians cannot even begin

ing what causes give rise to Il, and We
mus6 RENE mber that headache is to be
treated according to the same rule. We
must not only be particular to give o
remedy intended to counte ract the cause
which produces the headaches, but We
must also give remedy to relieve the
pain until the cause of trouble has been
removed. To answer this purpose Anti
kamnia Tablets will be found a most
convenient and satisfactory remedy.
Ono tablet every one to three hours
gives comfort and rest in the most
severe cases ofheadache neu ralgia and

tion him to keep his bowels regular, for
which nothing Is better than "Actoids,"
and when he feels the least sign OF an on
