Trying to DO Too Much.

Nothing can be more useful to man
than the determination not to be hur.
ried. The popular idea that a mans
prosperity or his usefulness depends
upon the amount of his business is not
correct one Here, as everywhere
else. quality counts for more than
quantity. The most successful man is
not he who is always doing. Ask an
old merchant how to succeed, and he
will tell you: DO not try to do too
much" We make merchandise of our.
selves in order to satisfy our constantly
expanding volume of want-the meas.
ure, as we are told, of civilization. The
more wants we are unable to refuse the
more civilized we become. If this be
civilization, let us go back to barbar.
ism at once. We are q rich and blus.

NASAL HEADACHES.

Some Of Their Causes and Remedies.
Headaches are caused by morbid condi
tions more commonly elsewhere than in the
brain. Permanent relief is to be obtained
IN such cases not by application to the head
or by the use of drugs that blunt the sense
of pain, but by removal of the cause.
Says Doctor Roe, of Rochester, N. Y, to
whom we are indebted in the preparation of
this article: s'There is no affection that has
so many different types, nor one which is
caused by so great variety of bodily con-
ditions." According to Doctor Day, of En-.
gland, there is none which more severely
taxes the experience of the physician.
1t is only recently that knowledge OF
the abundant nervous connection OF the
nose with the other parts of the system,
and the nearness of it's chambers to the
brain, led the medical profession to suspect
the nasal origin Of many headaches
This origin IS generally in some abnormal
pressure on the nerve tilaments in the
nasal chambers, in consequence of a con.
gestion of their walls, or morbid growth
of bone, OK DETECTION, or bend OF the ma,
sal partition.
When it results from an engagement OF
the passages simple puncture will gen.
orally relieve the headache A pressure
from abnormal bony growth causes more
constant pain. DR.. Roe adduces many cases
of headaches from this source which have
readily yielded to treatment. We have
room for only three, and these we give onlv
in meager outline.
Mr. A. K, fifty years old, had had
headache, increasing in severity, for four
teen years. The pain had become so per.
sistent, and his mind was 50 affected. that
he feared softening of the brain. Examina.
ton showed pressure from all abnormal
bony ridge. An operation immediately re.
lieved the headache and restored him to full
health.
Mr.. E. R. had for year and a half
suffered somewhat similarly, and was
forced to give up work. In his case, also,
there was pressure caused by a bony ridge
and marked hypertrophy of the turbinated
bones, His whole condition was much re-
.duced. An operation quite relieved the
pain, and rapidly improved his condition.
He has had no trouble since.
Mrs. j. K had had frequent and Sc.
we're headaches for four years, aud hav-
fever every summer. She had ringing in
the ears also, and became unable to use her
eyes to read or sew. The cause was hvper.
trophy of the turbinated bones. An OPERA
ton removed all her trouble, and restored
her general health, which had become Sc
riously affected. For the last five wears
she has had no return of the headache or
OF the hay-fever.-Youth's Com panion.
