Among the many things that produce
headache are long continued straining
of the eyes. sudden excitement, bad air
and want of ventilation, alcoholic
drinks ana variety of other causes.
Another fruitful source Of headache Ia
men is the absurd fashion of hats
which society now imposes. Tight
boots and shoes will also cause head
ache and destroy comfort of motion
and happiness IAey prevent the flow
of blood to the extremities and cause
slight congestion of the brain. Tea
drinking is often an unsupported cause
of headache, causing, as it does, ex-
haustion of the nervous system, and
coffee the same thing.
