THE ARGOSY—ADVERTISING SECTION. Have You Headache or Other Pain? By Dr. E. L. Abogado F you were to take a place in a thronged thoroughfare and ask every person who passed what pain meant, you would undoubtedly receive as many dif- ferent answers as the number of persons you asked. One man’s definition would be nothing more than a description of the agony he endured in stooping. One woman's answer would be simply a revelation of the fact that she suffered from severe headaches. Another man’s explanation of pain would Stamp him asa dyspeptic. Another woman’s definition would tell you scarcely more than that she was a rheumatic. And so on, until, in your quest for a definition of pain you had covered the entire category of human ailments. Now then, if you asked each one what he or she did for the alleviation of pain, you would have a "remedy" for such pain as each individual was then suffering from. And if you were a physician, here is the thing that would strike you as the one in- congruity of it all—the preponderance of the cases in which the so-called “remedy” is not a remedy at all, but a cause of still more serious and pain- ful conditions than those which it was expected to relieve. However, before we take up the con- sideration of the remedy which it is my purpose to treat of briefly here, let us for a moment inquire into the requisites of a true remedy. It is obvious that any:remedy that has to do with the alleviation of pain should confine itself primarily to the accomplish- ment of that one thing, such other benefits as might be derived from its use being incidental. In other words it should bea “pain specialist.” In my opinion this would be the ideal remedy and you will, there- fore understand what | have in mind when I say that | have found such a remedy in a simple tablet put up under the name of anti-kamnia tablets. In the best sense of the word, anti-kamnia is a “ pain specialist.” These tablets are especially prepared with the one end in view of bringing sure and speedy relief from pain in whatever form pain exists. And I know from my own experience that they do it. While, as I have stated, the primary purpose of the ideal pain remedy should be the alleviation of pain, it should not be lacking in other remedial benefits, because pain is frequently so closely allied with other pathological conditions that they are well nigh inseparable. For in- Stance, the most prominent symptoms of most diseases are pain and fever. And while | do not wish to be understood as advocating anti-kamnia tablets as a “cure-all,” [ do most emphatically wish to call attention to the fact that they are equally as effective as fever reducers as they are as pain relievers. I use them with most gratifying results in the treatment of all kinds of headaches, migraine, la grippe, and its after-effects; as a sedative in indigestion, gastralgia, dyspep- sia, hysteria and insomnia; as an antipyretic in intermittent and malarial fevers, bron- chitis, pleurisy, etc., and for the pains in acute and chronic neuralgias, toothache, sciatica, rheumatism and gout. Perhaps I should mention here that no physician’s consultation or prescription are a requisite for taking anti-kamnia tablets. They may be procured at the corner drug store in any quantity desired. It may be surprising for those of us who are inclined to run to the doctor with our every pain and ache to know that such relief as anti-kamnia tablets afford, has been at our elbow all this time.
