Bishop McCabe, of New York, on 

 Dr. James' Headache Powders. 



"With regard to James' Headache 

 Powders, I have no hesitation in com- 

 mending them to suffers from head- 

 ache. They relieve the pain speedily, 

 and I have never known anyone to be 

 harmed by their use. The Dr. James 

 Headache Powders have, however, 

 greatly relieved me at times, and I 

 never allow myself to be without them, 

 and have recommended them to others 

 freely. "C. C. McCABE."
