As an Anti-Neuralgic.--In acute or chronic neuralgia, facial
neuralgia, earache, pain about the teeth, angina pectoris,
neurasthenia, palpitation, pains of locomotor ataxia and sciatica.
As an Anti-Rheumatic.--In acute or chronic rheumatism and gout,
fever and pleurodynia.
There is no remedy so useful and attended with such satisfactory
results as Antikamnia tablets in the treatment of melancholia
with vasomotor disturbances, anemic headaches, emotional
distress, and active delusions of apprehension and distrust. They
increase arterial tension and promote digestion, as well as being
particularly serviceable in relieving the persistent headache which
accompanies nervousness.
In neurasthenia, in mild hysteroid affections, and in the various
neuralgias, particularly ovarian, and in the nervous tremor so
often seen in confirmed drunkards, they are of peculiar service.
In angina pectoris this drug has a beneficial action; it relieves
the pain and distress in many cases, even when amyl nitrite and
nitroglycerin have failed entirely. In pseudo-angina, frequently
observed in hysterical women, its action is all that can be desired.
Patients who suffer from irritable, weak, or palpitating heart,
needing at times a pain reliever, can take Antikamnia tablets,
without untoward after-effects, knowing that the heart is being
fortified. In delirium tremens, they relieve when there are great
restlessness, insomnia, the general lowering of the nerve power.
Only the vivid picture of a crisis in locomotor ataxia or the agony
of a true migraine, can impress the observer with the full value of
this pain reliever.
The following testimonials are from physicians:
Dr. Caleb Lyon, an old Bellevue practitioner, in referring to
antikamnia and codein tablets, says:
In my practice they accompany the maid from her virgin couch to
her lying-in chamber, assuaging the perplexities of maidenhood and
easing the trials of maternity with most gratifying results. I
earnestly hope that the proprietors of this valuable remedial agent
will keep it up to its present standard of purity and excellence.
