In IjGrlpps and Colds, Antl-kamnla(A-K)
ablets are unexcelled, as they stop yie
pains, soothe the nerves, and bring the rest
so greatly needed by nature to restore the
system to health. Physicians bsvs used
these tablets for over twenty years, In the
treatment of colds, fevers and la grippe, and
have found no other remedy more useful In
frese conditions. Antl-kamnla Tablets nro
so Inexpensive, so pleasant to take, so sat
isfactory In their results, and so useful Insll
conditions where there Is pain, that A-K
Tablets should always be kept in the house
for the time of need. Many ot our ablest
physicians obtain perfect results In la grippe
and colds, by cleansing the system with Ep
som salts or "Aotolds", it very good cathar
tic, putttng the patient on a limited die t, and
administering one A-K tablet every two ot
three hours. This treatment will usuiliy
break up the worst case In a day or two,
while In milder cases, ease and comfort fol
low almost immediately. These tablets are
also unexcelled for Neuralgia, Rheumatlo
