TEE ARGUS heartily endorses the above
call.
The daily telegraphic reports of the condi-
ton and progress of this pestilent scourge
in various towns and cities of the South
have presented pictures of mortality, sui
fering, and widespread distress, which can
not fail to excite the liveliest sympathy
and awaken feelings of active benevolence.
To those who are not eye witnesses OF
the actual desolation aud misery of the
situation, it is impossible to convey by any
pen pictures the real horrors of such an
epidemic,-the many details are lost, IN
heard of, or swallowed up in the general
terror of the pitiless plague.
Such a calamity calls for prompt and
liberal aid. Already throughout the great
and liberal North generous sympathy il

considered needful or of any avail. /

Sick Headache.

The true cause of sick heala he lies
deep in the patients i~diosyncraSy, and
is developed by a hundred different
causes. The advice. then, to sufferers
is to give as much tone to their nerves
by adopting all those methods which
experience has shown to be good. and
then avoid. SO far as practicable. all
those causes which are known to ex-
cite an attack. A writer in an old re-
liable British Medical Journal says !:
4 need scarcely describe a sick
headache-how one rises IN the morn
ing more dead than alive; perfectly
unable to swallow the smallest partl-
Gle of food, and often perhaps actually

suit. The only remedies which are
of any avail are those which act on
