adache tablet is most
likely one of the coal tar drugs like acetanilid, and that is
positively harmful when taken too often.

There are times to take pills, in cases of emergency, when you can shock
nature with a poison and bring a wholesome reaction.

These times are rare, and the doctor should be the sole judge as to when
they are necessary.

Exercise, diet, correct habits of living will prevent congestion and
illness that cause pain.

The pill habit is nothing less than a drug habit, and the drug habit
positively weakens the system.

The headache tablet does not cure the headache, it only stops the pain;
the evil is still there. The headache is merely nature's signal that
something is out of whack.

Headaches are generally caused by the stomach, eye strain, or neuralgia;
the latter in turn is caused by too much uric acid in the system.

Eat fruit, drink plenty of water, and that will flush the system and
stop stomachic headache.

See the optician if it's eyes. If you have frequent headache in the
forehead, very likely it's the eyes, even though you do not suspect it.

If it's neuralgia, get a corrective diet list from the doctor.

I know scores of men and women, too, who take pills enough to kill a
person. Their systems have been educated up to it; they are saturated
with poison.

And the worst of it is they never get well while taking the pills; it is
only a temporary deadening of the pain.

Then there are many who take pills to make them sleep. That's a crime.
It's murder in slow degrees for they are surely shortening their lives
by this poison dope pill habit.

Mark this: Nature, and Nature alone, effects cures and it's in very,
very few instances that a poison pill can be used to advantage.

You can keep well by getting good air, good water, good sunshine, good
food, good exercise, good rest, good cheer and good thought. That is
what I call my golden prescription, and it will do wonders for you, and
every doctor will tell you so.

Pills kill, if you keep up the habit. There are no two ways about it. I
say positively and knowingly, that this pill habit is absolutely life
shortening.

Don't try to argue; the evidence is unshakable on this point.

If you had seen the derelicts in the hospitals I have seen, if you had
seen the wretched bodies, destroyed nerve systems, the drugged,
shattered, hopeless patients resulting from the baneful pill habit, you
would be as positive as I am in saying pills
