There's many a cause for headache. Men are not often troubled by headaches. When they are it is generally due to bil- lousness or indigestion. But women have headaches which seem peculiar to their sex, frequent nervous throbbing headaches. Does 1t not seem as if such headaches peculiar to women must be at once related to wofnanly diseasef Worn- eu who suffer with diseases peculiar to the sex do not realize the drain of vital strength and nerve force they undergo as a consequence of disease. It Is this which causes the familiar headaches of sick women.
