NEW HEADACHE CURE.
English Physician Recommends Uso
of the seton as InfaIlibIe and
Permanent

Sick headaches, the bogey of the
modern society woman aud often the
greatest trouble of the business man,
is 10 lose its terrors, according to an
English physician when remedy now
used by him becomes universal. This
medical man. DIR. Whitehead, has re-
turned to the practice of old days, and
reintroduced the seton, and by its use
claims that he has successfully treated
every bad headache that has come into
his hands.
Simply described the seton consists
of twist of silk, of small threads or
few horsehairs, which by needle is
drawn through the skin so as to keep a
hole in the skin open. In the cure Of
headaches DR.. Whitehead draws this
seton through the skin a. the nape Of
the neck How this cures he does not
explain. but says that for 25 years past
he has not seen a headache case that
could not be cured by it. In one case
a lady had for years been affected by
severe headaches that left her pros
trated for many hours after they had
passed the climax. a seton was put in
three months ago, and since then she
has had no attack. The seton, he says.
should be left in place three months.
English authorities say this means
should not be resorteG to unless the
pain from the headache is absolutely
unbearable, as otherwise the remedy
will prove worse than the disease.
The causes for sick headache are
many. Often it is due to the eyes, and
use of proper spectacles will prevent
it, Sometimes it can be stopped by the
use of a stimulant, as a cup of black
coffee at the moment when the head
ache is beginning to manifest itself.
Nearly every one who is subjected to
these attacks knows of one or more
causes that will bring them on and
sometimes is able to avoid this, but
sometimes the cause is unavoidab BILE
even when known.
OF all the cures that have been sug-
gested the greatest confidence is
placed in caffeine and in antipyrine.
Antipyrine is taken in powder in doses
of one gramme; two, three, or four
such doses are given an adult in the
first two hours of the attack. When
given in time this drug calms the head
ache even when it does not en;ireiy
cure it. But when taken repeatedly
the effect of the drug wanes. The sys-
TEN becomes habituated to it. and it no
longer gives relief. Then as substi-
tute antifebrine or auetanilide may be
given, or oXalgine or phenacetine.
Among the many other remedies
which help in special cases are salicy-
late of soda aconitine, bromide of pos
tassium, choral and sulfonal. Acon-
tine is a dangerous medicine, however,
and the others are of little use-the
soda least of all.
In general, however, sick headache is
the result of a generally bad condition
of the body or of a bad condition in
some portion, and general medical
treatment is desirable to remove the
cause and thus prevent a recurrence of
the attack. Aenemic and chlorotic
subjects should take ferrugineous
medicines and should undergo hy-

TESTING SILVER COINS.

Out of every fresh batch of silver

For the test the coin after being
weighed is rolled out in thin fiat

Then the strip is placed beneath a
row of punches, which punch holes
in it, so that after passing beneath
the instrument it has the look of
