To utterance OF a strenuous word.

manner of"Little Bopeep's sheep" and
reporting mig hty desrth in the game

"A "neverfailing remedy" for nervous
headache is described by scientific au-
thority thus: 1t consists simply of walk
ing backward, but the method of walking
is an important factor in the cure. The
pace should be very slow, letting the ball
of the foot touch the floor frs, then the
heel, A hall or narrow room serves the
purpose best. The theory underlying the
cure is that the reflex action of the body
brings about the reflex action ofthe brain;
thus the pain induced by nervousness,
which is said to be the result of too much
going forward, is driven away by a sim
pie process of reversal. 1t wouldn't hurt
to try it. II il doesn't cure it won't kill.
