s- HEADACHE is the fayorite sign by which

sa3- 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 in many be looked on as a safe
guard intended to give notice of disease which
might otherwise escape attention, till too late to
be remeGied and its indications should never
be neglected. Headache may be classified un-
der two names. viz Symptomatic and Idiopath.
ic. Symptomatic Headache is exceedingly
common and is the precursor of a great Yariotg
ofdiseases, among which are Apeplexy, Gout,
Rheumatism and all febrile diseases. In its
nervous form it is syn pathetic of disease Of the
stomach constituting sick headache, of hepatio
disease constituting bilious headache, OF worms,
constipation and other disorders of the bowels
as well as venal and uterine affections. Diseases
of the heart are very frequently attended with
Headaches :Anamia and plethora sre also affec-
tions which frequently occasion headache. Lido.
pathc Headache is also very common, being
usually distinguished by the name of nervous
headache, sometimes coming on suddenly in a
state of apparently sound health and prostrat-
ing at once the mental and physical energies.
and in other instances it comes on slowly herald
ed by depression of spirits or acerbity of tenn
of the head, over one or both eyes; and some
times provoking vomiting under this class
may also be named Neuralgia.
For the treatment of either class of Headache
the Cephaiic Pills have been found a sure and
safe remedy, relieving the most acute pains in a
few minutes, and by its subtle power eradca-
ting the diseases of which Headache is the uner-
ring index.

the most expressive words of other languages
and after a while to incorporate them INTO our

the Greek, signifying "for the head" is now be-
coming popularized in connection with Mr..
Spalding's great Headache remedy, but it will
