HEADACHES.

The Cause and Remedy.

Sick and Nervous Headaches are but the symptoms of other ail- ments to which they are merely sympathetic, such as Indigestion,

Biliousness, Constipation, or some other itregu- larity of the system. Many women habitually suffer from Headaches, which make life a daily purgatory. Indeed this complaint may be regarded as peculiarly an affection of the feminine sex, an ailment common to all women from girlhood to old) age. If men suffered from Headaches as women do, business would be at a standstill, but the truth is that a woman's headache is generally due to womanly causes. Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills get at the cause. They aid the digestion and assimilation of food, cleanse the system and purify the blood, and are a positive cure for sick headache, biliousness and stomach disorders.
