PHYaoto GY AND HYGIENE.

Relief for Morning Headaches Caused By
Excessive Brain Work IN tho Evening.
Science tells of Swiss doctor whose ex,
perience is of interest to the many persons
who extend their mental work well into
the night, who during the evening follow
attentively the programme of theatre or
concert, or who engage evenings in the pro-
ceedings of societies or clubs, and are
awakened in the morning or in the night
with headache He is particular to say
that he does not refer to that headache
which our Teutonic brethren designate
Katzenjammer, that follows certain con-
vivial indulgences This headache affects
many persons who are quite well other
wise, and IS due in part to the previous ex-
cessive work of the brain, whereby an alb
normal flow of blood to that organ is
caused, in part to other causes, for exam
pie, too great heat of rooms, oontamina-
ton of the air with carbonic acid, exhala-
tons from human bodies and tobacco
smoke.
For long while the doctor was himself
sufferer from headache of this kind, but
OF late years has wholly protected himself
from it by simple means. When he is
obliged to continue his brain work into
the evening, or to be out late nights in
rooms not well ventilated. instead Of going
directly to bed he takes brisk walk for
half an hour or an hour. While taking
this tramp he stops now and then and
practices lung gymnastics by breathing in
and out deeply few times. When he then
goes to bed he sleeps soundly. Notwith-
standing the shortening of the hours OF
sleep he awakes with no trace of headache.
There exists clear and well known physi-
illogical reason why this treatment should
be effective.

When to Give Medicines,

Iodine or the iodides should be given on
an empty stomach. If given during diges-
ton the acids and starch alter and weaken
their action. Acids, as rule, should be
given between meals. Acids given before
meals check the excessive secretion of the
acids of the gastric juice Irritating and
poisonous drugs. such as salts of arsenic,
copper, zinc and iron, should be given di-
rectly after meals. Oxide and nitrate of
silver should be given after the process Of
digestion is ended; if given during or close
after meals the chemicals destroy or impair
their action. Potassium permanganate
also should not be given until the process
of digestion is ended, inasmuch as organic
matter decomposes it and renders it inert.
The active principle of the gastric juice is
impaired and rendered inert by corrosive
sublimate, tannin and pure alcohol; hence
they should be given at the close of di-
gestion. Malt extracts, cod liver oil, the
phosphates, etc, should be given with or
directly after food. says The Medical World,
authority for the foregoing directions.

Restrictions in Diet.

1t cannot be denied that the restrictions
imposed by medical men on the diet Of
patients are ofttimes the outcome of preju-
dice or whim, and it would be well if the
practitioner paused awhile and considered
whether or not the object in view might
not be better attained by some less drastic
method. The Medical Press, which ex-
presses the foregoing opinion, says that,
first of all, there is no absolute standard of
what is right and proper when individual
stomachs are in question. The safest guide
in such matters, under ordinary circum-
stances, is the patients own palate. This
organ acts under the guidance of natural
instinct that is rarely at fault, though
many persons mistrust its indications as
If they were the suggestions of some frivo-
lous and wanton agency, rather than
skillful and trustworthy guide in the choice
of food
AT the same time the practitioner is care
full to remind us that the sense of taste,
like any other sense, may be wrong and
betray the confidence of it's possessor 1t
Is his duty to detect these eccentric or
vicious palates, and to assist their owners
in neutralizing their evil promptings; and,
to sum up the recommendations. change
OF diet is often better than mere restric-
ton, and it will often answer the purpose
to diminish the quantity of g particular
article instead of prohibiting it altogether
The change may be in the kind, in guam
tity or in the disposition of the meals The
last form of adjustment is that which i'm
poses itself as persons pass from youth to
old age. Digestion and assimilation are on
the wane. and the intake, both in quantity
and kind, must be modified accordingly.

A Remedy for Cold Feet.

that more than twenty five years ago, when
he was soldier in Virginia and troubled
with cold feet, be discovered remedy for
them. He says: cat one time, while was
stamping upon the ground in the effort to
warm my extremities, a comrade in the
same regiment said to me, IF your feet are
cold try this He raised his foot from the
ground and struck some light blows with
his hand on the upper part of his leg, just
above the knee. l did the same with both
legs, and instantaneously felt flow of
warm blood coursing downward, and the
feet became comfortably warm The ex-
pertinent was repeated with good effect in
the comparatively warm climate of Vir-
GINA, and also with equally good results
in the more rugged atmosphere of New
England
