SICK HEADAcHE.-The following cure for the
sick headache was furnished to the Boston Medical
Journal by DR.. N. s. Folsom, OF Portsmouth, New
Hampshire: ppm "#'et .asas5E.s
"Tske any number ofdrops ofthe Croton oil, mix
them with -four and moIasses, and make as many
pills as drops of The oil used. When the patient
begins TO feel The sick headache coming on, one.
halt Of pill is 10 be taken every hour ia moIasses,
or something Of like consistcnce until IL acts as
cathartic and thus treat the sick headac at each
attack. Ifihus taken, each attack will be less Sc

manent cure. He seems to think the Croton oil
acts IN three ways; lst. By increasing the Sc

" "InteIIIgent observers who understand the char.

Day Book is very severe, but TOO good to be los,
s. The reason for GreeIey's insane sympathy

scribe Greedy exactly: " thick white skin. white
