~ HEADACHE is favorite sign by which nature
makes known any deviation whatever from the nat
nra state Of the BRAIN and viewed in this light may
be looked on as safeguard intended to give notice
Of disease which might otherwise escape attention,
ill too late TO be remedied and its indications should
never be neglected. Headaches may be classified
under two names, viz; Symptomatie and Idopathic.
Symptomatic Headache Is exceedingly common and
Is the precursor Of great variety of diseases among
which are Apoplexy, Govt, Rheumatism and all fe-
brils diseases In its form it Is sympathetic
Of disease Of the stomach constituting sick headache
Of hepatic diserse constituting bilious headache, Of
woms constipation and other disorders Of the bow
els well as renal and uterine headaches Diseases
Of the heart very frequently attended with Head
aches; Anemia and plethora are also affections
which frequently occasion headache. Idiopathie
Headache is also very common being usually distin-
guished by the name Of nervous headache, sometimes
coming on suddenly In state Of apparently sound
health and Frustrating al once the mental and phys
ical energies and in other instances il comes on
slowly heraded by depression Of spirits 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
Cephac Pills have been found sure and safe rene
dy, relieving the most acute pains in few minutes
and by its subtle power Graduating the diseases Of
which Headache is the unerring index.

timely grave. Among the lighter evils of which cos
tycness is the usual attendant are Headache, Collie,
rheumatism, Foul Breath, Piles and others Of like
nature, while long train of frghul diseases, such
as Malignant Feyers Abcesses Dysentary, Diarrhea,
Dyspepsia, Apoplexy, Epilepsy Paralysis, Hysteria,
Hypochondriasis, Melancholy and Insanity first indl-
cate their presence in the system by this alarming
symptom. Not unfrequently tho diseases named
originate in Constipation but take on an independent
existence unless the Is eradcated in early
stage. From all these considerations 1t follows that
the disorder should receive immediate attention when
il occurs and person should neglect to get
