iOus Attacks, Sick Giddiness. We speak
of sick headache more at length. than any other
form of this affection, as it is typical nervous
disorder, and the one with which the majority of
people are most familiar. Not only are the
masses in almost entire ignorance as to its true
nature, but also physicians. 1t is commonly
supposed that sick headache is caused by some
arrangement of the stomach or liver. This the
DRY is unscientifc and not sustained by facts.
Everybody knows that injuries and diseases of
the brain often produce vomiting; that the men
tai impression resulting from the sight of dis
gushing object will cause sickness of the stomach
in many persons DR.. Miles has demonstrated
that sick headache is also due to a disturbance
of the brain. Out of 632 cases of this order, of
which he has kept careful record during the last
few years. every patient stated that the first
symptoms of an attack were always felt in the
head, and in some cases hours elapsed before the
stomach became deranged. Sick headache after
few years usually changes into the nervous
form. That is the stomach is less frequently
rritated by the disturbance of the brain. How
the state of the brain influences the condition of
the stomach, heart liver and bowels is readily
explained. Now, Psychologists have demonstrate
ed that serious injury to the pneumogastrc
nerve will cause instant death by paralyzing the
heart, lungs and stomach Therefore, any dis

stomach, heart and lungs. In this manner rom
iting, nervous dyspepsia, palpitation OF the
heart, and asthma are often caused, to say no.
thing of the many other affections. The reason
why every headache does not cause sickness at
the stomach is that the disturbance Of the brain
does not Away reach to the roots of this nerve
This Is but one Of the numberless other diseases
that originate in the nervous system, and con-
corning the true nature Of which physicians are
greatly mistaken. Thus, Dr. Miles has discov-
cred that many bilious attacks, nervous dyspep-
sias, pains In the stomach and bowels, disorders
of the liver heart, lungs, etc, due to irrita
ton of the nerue centers in the brain.
Hay Fever, Rose Cold, Influenza. These
affections are known to be due to weakened or
susceptible condition of the nerves supplying
the nose, throat and lungs, which render them
easily affected by vegetable emanations. Very
many bad cases have been cured and nearly
every one helped by the Restorative Nervine,
When possible, commence taking 1t two or more
weeks before the attack is anticipated
Hot FJashes--Rush of Blood to the
Head, Nervous CiiILs, Nttnibness, Ten
dermess of the Scalp, IrritabiIity of
Temper, Poor Memory. These are symp-
toms frequently met with in persons of a weak
nervous system; they are due to nervous irrita-
bility or exhaustion. For them the Restorative
Nervne is good remedy.
Hysteria.- ErcessiUe Nervousness.
There are many more hysterical persons than is
usually supposed. There are all degrees Of it,
from impulsiveness to commissions Hystercal
people act in haste to repent at leisure. They
are easily elated or depressed, owing to a defect
in the nerve centers. Some will cry one moment
and laugh the next Their feelings are often
stronger than their will. Hysteria is, in reality
like many other weak diseases-not disease it
SELF but the effect of one or more arrangements
of the nervous system. Thus, when person is
subject to headache, weakness of the heart, etc.
for some years, the nerves are worn out and be-
come very weak, or, in other words, hysterical
No single remedy is better than the Restorative
Nervine. Every case will be benefited from 1t:
use, and not small portion entirely cured; but
in some cases. other treatment should be resort
ed to.
