Nervous Period
icaI Headaches

This trouble commonly called sick
headache" IL said to be due to the retention
of urea in the system. Often It is stated that
a poor condition of the blood is a cause of
these headaches, or that 1t is a nervous con-
dition; and in certain cases, no doubt this
IS true.
Where treatment is demanded, It is more
for the pain than anything else, and DR..
A. F. Schellschmidt of Louisville, ha found
antikRmnfR tablets to give prompt and
satisfactory relief. Rest should be insisted
upon" he says, and the patient should go
to bed, darken the room, and all the atten-
dants and family should be as quiet as pos
sible. An emetic will sometimes shorten
the attack. The bowels should be kept open
and a hot bath and thorough rundown
WIN coarse towel, often give grateful
relief. Two anti-kamnia tablets when the
nrst signs appear, will usually prevent the
attack. During an attack, one tablet every
hour or two will shorten the attack and
relieve the usual nausea and vomiting"
These tablets may be obtained at all drug
Rists. Ask for AK Tablets. They are also
unexcelled for nervous headaches, neuralgia
and all pains.

Wake up feeling finel Best lax
alive for men, women
and children.

Enjoy life, Remove the liver and
bowel poison which is keeping your
head dizzy, your tongue coated, breath
offensive, and stomach sour Don't
stay bilious, sick, headachy, consti-
pated and full of cold. Why don't YOU
get a box of Cascarets from the drug
store and eat one of two tonight and
enjoy the incest, gentlest liver and
bowel cleansing YOU ever exp erienced2
You will wake up feeling fit and fine.
Cascarets never grippe or sicken like
Sc Its, pills and calomel. They act so
gently that you hardly realize you
have taken a cathartic. Mothers
should give cross, sick, bilious or few
erish children a whole Cascaret any
time-they act thoroughly and are
harmless.-Adv.
