certain conditions of the atmosphere
exist.

A CAUSE OF HEADACHE.
One Very Common Cause Generally

Headache IS a symptom, an indica-

organ, and the cause Of the headache
! Is difficult to locate because so many
diseases have headache as a prominent
symptom; arrangement of the stom-
ach and liver. heart trouble, kidney
disease, lung trouble, eve strain or i'll
hitting glasses. all produce headaches
and If we could always locate the or
gan which is at fault the cure of OBJ
stinate headaches would be a much
simpler matter.
However, for that form of headache
called frontal headache. pain back of
the eyes and in forehead, the cause is
now known to be catarrh of the head
and throat. when the headache is To-
Gated in back of head and neck it is
often caused from catarrh Of the stom-
ach or liver.
At any rate cataTTh is the most com
