Treating Sick Headaches.

There are varieties of headaches
produced by various causes, as over.
study, or exhaustion ;or by peculiar
state Of the system, as the throbbing
pain in the head which proceeds apo
plexy, but these should be prescribed
for by physician, writes Elisabeth
Robinson Scovil in the May Ladies'
Home Journal. In many cases the
cause Of the headache is deep-seated
and must be removed before perman-
ent relief can be hoped for Neural
gia in any part of the body implies
that the nerves are starved and are
crying out for food. This must be
supplied before the pain will cease.
There are, however, measures which
can be tried to give temporary relief,
and no one who has not suffered from
the headache OF neuralgia knows what
this means to the victim. Camphor
and chloral, rubbed together until
they form liquid, may be painted
over the spot, or menthol pencil used
in the same manner. II these cannot
be obtained the face should be bathed
in very hot water and mustard paste
applied, taking care not to leave it on
long enough to blister. A flannel wet
with chlorofoim liniment may be tried,
and hot-water bag will sometimes
ease tine pain. A cup Of no, tea fol.
lowed by teaspoonful Of valerinate
OF ammonia may do good. A person
subject to this form of headache should
eat plenty Of nourishing food, as fresh
meat, all the cereals, vegetables, par
tlcularly beans and celery, and drink
milk, hot or cold, and cocoa in pre-
ference to tea and coffee. These may
be used as a stimulant in necessity,
but not as regular beverage. Friction
of the whole body by rubbing is val
liable and it should be kept warm in
cold weather by suitable clothing, with
flannel next the skin, especially at
night.
The teeth should be examined by
dentist and properly attended to. If
these measures fail a nerve tonic is
necessary.
