"It gives me great pleasure to
offer a word of recommendation
for Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain Tills,
as there arc thousands suffering
unnecessarily from headache. I
was afllicted intermittently for
years with headache and after
other remedies failed, I tried
Dr. Miles' Anti-rain Tills. For
the past ten years I have carried
