Cause OF Headac he.

By knowing the cause, disease may
often be avoided. This is particularly
true of headache. The most common
cause of headache is a disordered stomach
or constipation, which may be corrected
by taking a few doses of Chamberlain
Tablets. Try it. Many others have OBJ
tanned permanent relief by taking these
Tablets They are easy to take and mild
and gentle in effect.

Rheumatism causes more pain and
suffering than any other disease, for the
reason that it is the most common of all
ills, and it is certainly gratifying to suf-
ferers to know that there is a remedy
that will afford relief, and make rest and
sleep possible. 1t is called Chamberlain
