PHILOSOPHY oP FEMALE HEADACHES. Among
women, headaches are innumerabe but they arise
principally from yexationand disappointment. They
may be divided into nervous and sick headaches.
The nervous irritable aud cannot bear being spoken
to the sick is Respondent, or sulky and bursts into
tears at the least contradiction. When lady cannot
have her own way, headache is the painful conse.
quence. An unpopular visitor, brought home acci-
dentaly to dinner, will produce an alarming attack of
headache; and the symptoms that successfully follow
an instant loss OF appetite, Deafness peevishness
hystera and finally precptate retreat to the bed
room.
The poor servants feel the effects OF the headache
as much as any one, and do not stop in the room
longer than they can help. These unfortunate bead
aches very frequent about that time of the year
when every is or is supposed to be- ont of town,
and do not cease until the patient has been carried
the sea side for change of air. The milder forms
or, if the forehead is wrapped up in shawl it is
astonishing with what rapidity the pain disappears.
Sometimes shifting of the scene is requisite, and
thus box in the opera has been known to produce
an Instantaneous cure, even when the headache in
question has been of the most stunning description
and the opera played has been one of Yerdi's.
