Some of Them Are SO Simple ~ to bo Easily
Avoided.
Malaria brings on headache that Is
periodical in its character, coming on
at a certain time every day or every
other day. One to five grains OF quiz
nine every three hours until the ears
begin to buzz will give relief, but it is
better plan to get away FROM the
malaria district.
Breathing foul air; sleeping In small,
crowded and poorly ventilated rooms;
working in similar places; sitting in
crowded or poorly ventilated. halls or
| lecture rooms, ETC., etc, also bring a
headache. The remedy which natur-
ally suggests itself is to get out into
the fresh air and to avoid the cause in
| the future.
| Reading too long at time and over
study bring on q dull headache and
| listlessness.
Defective eyes or ill-fitted glasses Of
ten cause headache, accompanied by
sickness of the stomach. There are
thousands and thousands of such per-
sons who ought to wear glasses, but
who do not know 1t, and some who do
know it, but who are foolish enough to
refuse to wear them.
Diseased teeth are also fruitful
cause. There may be no pain whatev-
er in the tooth, the pain being referred
to some part of the head or face. This
is fact that many are slow to beGeve,
and some even refuse to consult dem
fist, even when SO advised by physi-
clan.
Lack of accustomed stimulants-
Those who drink strong coffee or tea
at each meal often have headache when
deprived of these stimulants, and
should learn to do without them as
soon as possible.
Excessive use of tobacco in any form
brings on neuralgia pains in the head,
which resist treatment so long as the
use of tobacco is continued.
| Constipation of the bowels often
causes splitting headaches, which are
soon relieved by a dose of salts. The
headache will return, however, il the
constipation continues.
An overloaded stomach is sometimes
a cause.
Failure to get meals at the accus-
} toned hour often brings on feeling
of discomfort in the head that will be
relieved by a good, square meal. This
may be the case even though the vic.
} tim does not feel hungry.
, Worry, sorrow, grief and care are
J also causes, as are mental strain and
too close application to business by
. stenographers, dentists, students, bust
ness men, etc. For this kind of head
