All he has to do is to deliver a 'few good headaches iea)oh month and submit to laboratory tests, for which he will receive a salary and free board and lodging. ‘I believe,” said Roberts, ‘'that my headache is the oldest and most splitting in existence.

My talent for headache is inherited from my mother.”
