That repeated or prolonged attacks of these dis
orders of the brain predispose it to many forms
of disease can be proven by quotations from
large number of eminent medical writers. The
poor memory excessive irritability and nervous
ness which so frequently result from repeated
attacks of headache indicate in an unmistaka-
BILE manner that the nutrition of the brain,
and consequently its power of resisting disease,
is impaired In almost every case of apoplcxy,
paralysis, insanity, epileptic convulsions, sun
stroke inflammation of the brain, etc. there has
previously been much headache.
1t is well known to oculists that persons hav-
ing weak eyes, which are always more or less
congested are much more liable to have intam-
nation OF these organs than those who have
strong ones. In like manner it can readily be
seen that persons subject TO headache are much
more liable to disease of the BRAIN as 1t Is an
easy matter for the congestion, which accom-
panies all headaches, to be famed into iniiam-
nation.
Sick Headache, Bilious Headache, Bit
fOus Attacks, Sick Giddiness. We speak
of sick headache more at length, than any other
form of this Affection as 1t is a 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
ory is unscientlfc and not sustained by facts.
Everybody knows that injuries and diseases OF
| the brain often produce vomiting; that the mem
tai impression resulting from the sight OF a dis
gusting object will cause sickness Of the stomach
in many persons. DIR. Miles has demonstrated
| ,l da ha is n so 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
a few years usually changes into the nervous
form.
