Headache For Yean “I keep Dr. Miles’ Anti-Pain Pills on hand all the time, and would not think of taking a journey without them, no mat ter how short a distance I am going;. I have a sister that has had terrible headaches for years, and I coaxed her to try them and they helped her so much, she now keeps thenvby her all the time. From my own exper ience I cannot praise them enough.” MRS. LOU M. CHURCHILL, 63 High st., Penacook, \. H. Many persons have headache after any liKle excitement or ex ertion. They cannot attend church, lectures, entertainments, or ride on trains without suffer ing. Those who suffer in this way should try Dr. Mrlys’ Anti- Pain Pills. They give almost instant relief without leaving any disagreeable after-effects? as they do not dei€nge the stomich or bowels; just a pleasurable sense of relief follows their use.
