You’re The Loser
wylTEN you allow Headache, Neuralgia,
W Muscular, Rheumatic. Sciatic or Periodic
Pains to keep you from work or pleasure.
You can’t go places and do things when you
are suffering—and the work or good times
won’t wait for you.
Why allow Pain to rob you of Health, Friends.
Happiness, Money?
DR. MILES ANTI-PAIN PILLS have been
used for the relief of pain for more than forty
years. They taste good, act quickly, do not
upset the stomach, nor cause constipation,
leave no dull, depressed feeling.
Thousands have used (hem for twenty, thirty,
forty years, and still find that nothing else
relieves pain so promptly and effectively.
Why don’t you try them? Once you know
how pleasant they are to take, how quickly
and effectively they relieve, you won’t want
to go back to disagreeable, slow acting medi-
cines.
You too may find quick relief. Why wait, forty minutes for
relief when Dr. Miles Anti-Pain Pill: will relieve vou in ten to
twenty minutes?
