So common is this distressing complaint
that II is almost superhuity to describe it,
as bitter experience has made NEST people
quite too familiar with all its narrowing de-
tails. With some people ride in the carr
or carriage going longer than usual without
eating, eating too much or too little, or OF
food that disagrees, sleepless night, grief,
| fright overwork, exposure to cold winds OF
hot sun, are each sufficient to produce Sc
we're attack of sick headache; others have
regular attacks. Black spetks float before
the eyes, darkness, and even blindness for a
short time, gives warning of the approach
ing headache. Sooner or later a bursting
pressure is felt at the sides and front of the
head, the eyes feel pressed out of their sock
cts, the head drawn back by the shortening
cords" behind. A slight relief of the
vomiting spell, but renews again shortly.
After two or three vomiting spells, yellow,
bitter fluid, called ''bile," will be thrown up.
The head becomes sore even to the ends of
the hair; the eyes are panied by the least
degree of light. 1t would be difficult to es
innate the number of people afflicted with
this malady, and no one knows, except by
experience, the genuine agony of the victim.
The hygienic treatment consists mainly in
the care of the stomach. The diet should
consist during treatment of stale bread and
butter, black tea, brOiled meat (fresh beef or
mutton,) soft cooked eggs, oysters, fresh
fish, roasted potatoes, oatmeal or graham
cruel, mush, milk and fresh fruit. Those
whose duties keep them indoors should take
walk in the open air each day. To treat
the attack, at the first symptom drink a pint
of water as warm as it can be taken. If a
pint can not be taken, as much as possible
should be. If the water is thrown up, re-
peat the dose as soon as possible, until the
stomach is thoroughly cleansed. After this
to lie quietly in dark room with mustard
on the stomach and back of the neck, with
hot or cold water on the head as is most
agreeable to the patient, until it is over.
The medical treatment should be begun i'm
mediately after paroXysm has passed, and
it consists of Pe-ru-na and Man-a-lin. The
Pe-ru-na should he taken with the strictest
according to the directions on the
bottle. If the bowels are constipated just |
enough, Man-a-ln should be taken to move
them once each day.
After the treatment has been begun, as |
soon as the symptoms of another attack APP |
pears all medical treatment should cease at |
once, and the paroxysm treated with hot
water exactly as above described. After the
attack has passed the medical treatment |
should he begun again and followed |
regularly. Not more than four, often only
wo, sometimes not one attack of sick head
lche will occur after this treatment is be-
Jun. fully believe that nearly every one
would be permanently cured ifthey could be
Induced to follow this treatment faithfully
our or six months. Not single failure has
'et come under my notice where medicine
md diet were faithfully followed. Tothose
Who are willing 10 faithfully follow this
for six months there is sure es-
ape from malady that rarely fails to make
lie burden and greatly diminish the use
