Headnche and the Eye.

Eye strain should be the first thought
suggested by any complaint of head
ache. for II Is by far the most common
cause Of that symptom. The simple
existence Of headache, therefore, should
suggest eye strain. but frequently a
careful inquiry as to the manner and
time of the attack and the location Of
the severest pain will be almost conclu-
slve as to the origin Of the trouble. Of
ten It comes on whenever the eyes are
used and Is absent whenever the eyes
have had a proper season OF rest.
Congestion, irrtablllty or infamma-
ton OF the eyes and their appendages
should always suggest the suspicion Of
eye strain. A single attack or manifes-
tatlon of this kind has no special sig
ni6cance, but repeated attacks Of In
Illumination or prolonged congestion or
irritability are suggestive OF continu-
ing cause. A strange thing with refer
ence to eye strain Is that 1t often exists
to an exceptional degree without show
ing any symptoms In the eye. The pa
tient Will often say that the eyes are
perfectly good and have never caused
any irritation.
