BeB@ HEADACHE is the favorte sign by which
nature makes known any deviation whatever
from the natural state of the BRAIN and viewed
10 this light 1t may be looked on as a safeguard
intended TO give notice Of disease which might
otherwise escape attention, till too late to be re-
medied and its indications should never be ne
elected. Headaches may be classified under two
names, viz; Symptomatiu and Idiopathic. -
Symptomatc Headache is exceedingly common
and is the precursor Of great variety of Diseases
among which are ApOplexy, Gout, Rheumatism
and oil febrile diseases. In its nervous form ii
is sympathetic of disease Of the stomach con.
stituting sick headache. of hepatc disease con-
stituting bilious hedddche of worms, constipation
and other disorders OF the bowels, as we'll as
renal aud uterine affections Diseasts of the
heart are very frequently attended with Head
aches An@mia and plethora are also affections
which frequently occasion headache. Idiopathic
Headache is also very common, being usually
distinguished by the name of nervous headache,
sometimes coming on suddenly in state of ap-
parently sound health and prostratng at once
the mental and physical energies, and in other
instances it comes on slowly, heralded by de-
preston of spirits or aeerbity of temper. In
most instances the pain is in the front of the
head over one or both eyes and sometimes pro-
vosing vomiting; under this class may also be
named Neuralgia.
For the treatment OF either class of Headache
the Cephalic Pills have been found sure and
safe remedy, relieving the most acute pains in n
few minutes, and by its subtle power eradicating
the diseases Of which Headache is the unerrin9
index.

No one of the "many ills flesh is heir to" is SO
prevalent, SO little understood, aud SO much
neglected as Costiveness. Often originating iu
careessness, or sedentary habits it is regarded
as a slight disorder of too little consequence to
excite anxiety, while in reality it is the precursor
and companion of many Of the most fatal aud
dangerous diseases, and unless early eradicated
it will bring the sufferer to an untimely grave
Among the lighter evils of which cOstveness is
the usual attendant are Headache, Collie, Rheu-
matism, Foul Breath, Piles and others Of like
nature, while long train of frightful diseases
such as Malignant Feyers, Abcesses, Dysentary,
Darrh9a, Dyspepsia, Apoplexy Epilepsy, Para.
lyss, Hysieria, Hypochpndriasis, Melancholy
and Insanity, first indicate ther presence in the
system by this alarming symptom Not unfre-
quently the diseases named originate in Con-
stipation, but take on an independent existence
unless the cause is eradicated in an early stage.
From all these considerations it follows that the
disorder should receive immediate attention
whenever it occurs, and no person should neglect
to get box Of Cephalc Pills on the first appear
ance of the complaint, as their timely use will
expel the insiduous approaches of disease and
destroy this dangerous foe to human life

MISCELLANEOUS.

THR AMALdAMATloN OF LANGUAGES There
IS growing tendency in this age to appropriate
the most expressive words of other languages,
and after while to incorporate them into our
owni thus the word Cephalic, which is from the
Greek, signifying "tor the head" is now be-
coming popularized in connection with Mr.. Spal-
dingss great Headache remedy, but it will soon
be used in more general way, and the word
Cephalic will become as common as Eectrotype
and many others whose distinction as foreign
words has been worn away by common usage
until they seem ''naiiye and to the manor born -
Delaware State journal and statesman. [volume] (Wilmington, Del.) 1855-1870, 1861-01-04

BsS~ OVER ExcITEMEET, and the mental care
and anxiety incident to close attention to busl-
ness or study, are among the numerous causes
Of Nervous Headache. The disordered state of
mind and body incident to this distressing COM
plant is a fatal blow to all energy and ambition
Sufferers by this disorder eau always obtain
speedy relief from these distressing attacks by
using one of the Cephalic Pills whenever the
symptoms appear. 1t quiets the oyertasked
brain, and soothes the strained and jarring
nerves, and reaxcs the tension of the stomach
which always accompanies and aggravates the
disordered condition of the brain.
