RY3n HEADACHE is the favorite sign by which
nature makes known any deviation whatever
from the natural state of the brain, and viewed
in this light it may be looked on as safeguard
intended to give notice of disease which might
otherwise escape attention, till too late to be
remedied; and its indications should never be
neglected. Headaches may be classified under
two names. viz: Symptomatic and Idiopathc.
Symptomatic Headache is exceedingly common
and is the precursor of great variety of
diseases, among which are Apoplexy, Gout,
rheumatism and all febrle diseases. In its
nervous form it is sympathetic of disease Of the
stomach constituting SICK headache, of hepatc
disease constituting bilious headache, of worms,
constipation and other disorders Of the bowels,
as well as renal and uterine affections Diseases
of the heart are very frequently attended with
Headaches Anamia and plethora are also af-
fcctions which frequently occasion headache
ldiopathic Headache is also very common, being
usually distinguished by the name of neroous
heddache sometimes coming on suddenly in d
state Of apparently sound health, andaaprostra-
ting at once the mental and physical energies
and in other instances it comes on slowly,
hearalded by depression of spirits or acerbity
of temper. In most instances the pain is in the
front of the head, over one or both eyes, and
sometimes provoking 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
few minutes, and by it's subtle power eradi-
eating the diseases Of which Headache is the
unerring index.

ScrOfula, or Kings Ey.

is constitutional disease, a corruption OF &
blood, by which this fluid becomes what a
weak, and poor. Being i'll the circulation,
pervades the whole body, and may burst o.
in disease on any part of it. No orgJl1 L
from its attacks nor is there one which it ~
not destroy. The scrofulous taint is vario.
caused by mercurial disease low living,
ordered or unhealthy food, impure air, /
and filthy habits, the depressing vices, III
above all, by the yenereal infection. Nf

stitution, descending g from parents to chltlrr
unto the third and fourth generation F." indeed
it seems to be the rod of Him who says, Al
will visit the miqlutics of the father, upo:.

Its effects commence by defo >ition from th
blood Of corrupt or Ulcerous matter, which, j,
the lungs, liver, and internal orgalls, Is termec
tubercles; i'll the glands, sweiling,; and On.
the surface, eruptions or sores. This foul cor
rupdon, which gcnders i'll the blood, deprpssc.
the energies of life, so that scrofol,s constii.-
tions not only suffer from srrofulous com
plants, but they have far less power to wifi
stand the attacks of other diseases; con
quently vast numbers perish by di. ord
which, although not scrofuloui in tl,cr na;,ts
arc still rendered fatal by this tuint in ii,
system. Most of the consumption which d.
climates the human family has its origin dir, en-
i'll this scroflllous contamination; and man
destructive diseases of the liver, kidneys, bran
and, indeed of all the organs, arise from -
are aggravated by the same cause.
One quarter of all our people are scrofrlouy

fiction, and their health Is Undermined by

Constipation or Costiveness.

No one of the "many ills flesh is heir to- is
so prevalent, so little understood, and so much
neglected as Costiveness. Often originating in
carelessncss, or sedentary habits; it is regarded
as slight disorder of toe little consequence to
excite anxiety, while in reality it is the pre-
cursor and companion of many of the most
fatal and dangerous diseases and unless early
eradicated it will bring the sufferer to an un-
timely grave. Among the lighter evils of
which costiveness is the usual attendant are
Headache, Colo, rheumatism, Foul Breath,
Piles and others of like nature, while long
train of frightful diseases such as Malignant
Fevers, Abcesses, Dysentary, Diarrheea, Dys-
pepsia, Apoplexy, Epilepsy, Paralysis, Hysteria,
Hypochondriasis, Melancholy and Insanity,
first indicate their presence in the system by
this alarming symptom. Not unfrequently the
diseases named originate in Constipation, but
take on an Independent existence unless the
cause is eradicated in early stage. From
all these conditions it follows that the disorder
should receive immediate attention whenever
it occurs, aud no person should neglect to get
box of Cephalic Pills on the first appearance
of the complaint, as their timely use will expel
the insiduous approaches of disease and destroy
this dangerous foe to human life.

By ROSE RIVERSIDE.

f'She resteth from her labors," might
be inscribed over the tombstone of MANY
wife and mother. There have lived,
and still live, Il class of females whose
sacrifices and toll, have never been
properly estimated. They are not in
the towns or citics-not the wives of
merchants or mechanics, or of the va
rious professions; but belong almost ex-
clusively to the farming portion of COM
munity. "Women are not as strong
as they used to be-" is the remark of
many man. His mother spun and
wove, washed, cooked, sewed and tended
the children. "Where is your mother
now?" 80, she died a great while ago. -
But why did not the mother live? and
why are SO many men of, from fifty to
eighty years Of age, living with a second
wife? or if the first be living, why so i'll
firm that life has but few joys? There
areexceptions to this rule, and we CON
ceive they strengthen the premises
The mother swith sons - the woman
who managed outdoors and in doors
and she who was left early widow,
have lived to happy, healthy old age;
but the mother with many daughters
the wife whose every nerve was stretched
to save, and to help pay for the land
with a mothers ambition for the future
comfort of her family; cxerted every
power Of mind and frame, until in the
noon of life, and midst Of her children,
death released her.
There are those now who are striving
to accomplish all that physical strength
can endure-washing, cooking, sewing,
milking, house-cleaning, working the
flower garden, and raising children
performing more labor than would be
right to require of the broadest shoul-
dered German or Irish girl in America
They are not compelled thus to labor, "
says one. Ifmot compelled, who is best
pleased, when an outlay of money is
saved by the course? if they do not
break down too soon, by the effort
Who speaks in the highest terms of the
thrifty housewife, if she be good ma
tured? Who tells most of the deeds of
the olden time, as ifthey had no equal
uOh' All nv IHsu htlS was ever as
good as his mother! Who sees a para
graph about ''over- dressing and lack of
exercise, and forthwith vans his
