1 Originally used to treat epilepsy (partial seizures), but now it primarily treats neuropathic pain that's caused by nerve stimulation or damage.  Studies show it's most effective for nerve pain from diabetes, shingles, and fibromyalgia (a painful muscle condition).
Character Analysis Bilbo Baggins. Bilbo Baggins, the protagonist of The Hobbit, is one of a race of creatures about half the size of humans, beardless and with hairy feet. He lives in an unspecified time that is at once ancient and also very like the Victorian age, with its cozy domestic routines.
His hero for the trilogy was Frodo Baggins, the adopted son of Bilbo. Both hobbits become bearers of the Ring of Power that is central to Tolkien's fantasy world. Extra credit: In the Peter Jackson film versions of The Lord of the Rings, Bilbo appears as an old man and is played by actor Ian Holm. For Jackson's Hobbit films, Bilbo was played by Martin Freeman.
