    CRAM P—continued. Rev. G. P. Buck, Rector of Belaugh, Norwich.—“ I have found the Veedee very useful in many ways, especially for Cramp in the leg, a severe attack of which it relieves in less than half a minute. [Mr. Buck kindly permits us to refer anyone to him as to the merits of the Veedee, and will be pleased to answer any enquiries. A stamped addressed envelope should be enclosed when writing.] Miss H, Janotha (Court Pianist to H.I.M. the German Emperor).—“ The Veedee seems to hold a spark of the ‘ Perpetuum mobile ’ of the universe— I enjoy its delicate and vigorous * trille ’ on my hands. With ‘ good hick ' wishes.” And Later. “ I am charmed with the Veedee. It takes away fatigue as well as pain ! “ I should recommend it to all piano players, as it gives flexibility to the fingers and infuses supple- ness to all the muscles of the arm wrist, hand, and fingers. “ With wishes of good luck.” H. S. Escott, Esq., Kilve Rectory, Bridgwater.—” My grandson, a strong fellow of seventeen years of age, has suffered from acute pain, caused, it is thought, by flatulence in the bowel. The Veedee does relieve this, and after trying London Physicians and Elec- tricians in vain, he has found the greatest help and comfort from the Veedee, so that he is enabled to return to his school, and work with comfort and success.” Sir Herewald Wake, Bart., Courteen- hall, Northampton.—” I have had a nasty attack of phlebitis, and though I have only used the Veedee about two days, it has certainly reduced stiffness and pain in moving already. The principle of your capital instrument is sound, and I congratulate you on your success in perfecting it.” Mr. C. S. Bisson, 34, New Street, Jersey.-—” Some years ago I became partially paralysed in both legs, so that I could not walk. I was admitted to the National Hospital for Paralysis, Bloomsbury Square, four years ago. I always had a dull, heavy pain at the bottom of the spine, and my legs were always numbed. After a few days’ treatment with the Veedee I felt quite another man. Previous to using the Veedee my back was always cold ; it is quite warm now, as the blood circulates. The Veedee did what the Electric Battery had failed to do.” Rev. Forbes E. Winslow, St. Leonards.—” I find that your Veedee is of very great service in relieving rheumatic stiffness of the muscles and joints, in stimulating the action of the liver, and in alleviating pains and aches in any part of the body. I can give it my very heartiest recom- mendation.” Admiral J. W. D. McDonald, King’s Mills, Guernsey.—” I have found the Veedee relieve me from stiffness and cramp in the hands and fingers. Please send me some of your papers to give to my friends. I have shown the Veedee to many.” HEADACHE AND OTHER HEAD TROUBLES QYiwpTnMQ I Headache presents many varieties. It may be slight or SYMrTUIVlo. | very intense, superficial or deep seated. It may be more or less confined to particular parts, as the forehead, the temples or back of the head. Sometimes the pain is limited to one spot. It may extend over one side of the head or be generally diffused. Headache presents every variety of character, dull, sharp, cutting, etc. Its accession may be sudden or gradual, and the paroxysms may be of the shortest possible duration or may extend over hours, days or months. It should be remembered that eye troubles (as errors of refraction), and teeth troubles are often unsuspected causes of local headaches, the cure of which is obvious. It is also not supposed that the Veedee will cure a headache due to poison circulating in the blood. It is par excellence suited for the rheumatic and nerve headaches. In the majority of cases, the nerves of the head and face constitute the real seat of pain.
