forced landing, holly opposed by
the Yale boys and the patriots, and

overwhelmed by superior numbers.

A Boston maiden advocates law
prohibiting men who have never been
married from marrying widows. She
declares the unmarried r1en fall easy
victims to the wiles of widows and
that it is discouraging to maidens to
be forced to take widowers who have
children. The lady ought to know

The Cure of Headaches.
BY Cstcopathy.

"What bone would you pull to
treat a headache?" asked a layman.
ANY bone that may be out OF its cor
rect position in the neck or back. 81
as TO bring its pressure upon the
nerves which express the pain sense
that is, il the headache happens
to be due to a bony slip; but of course
1t may not be at all. That is enc
frequent cause, but there are many
others which are apt to be operative.
A muscular contraction In the back
in the neck, or over the head. may
likewise cause headache. lndiges-
ton, eye-strain, mental fatigue, a
sluggish liver, constipation, kidney
disease, and many other things are
frequent causes of headache. Hence
the cure of headache geographically
is the cure of its cause or causes. To
find the remedy these causes, having
as they usually do an anatomical
basis, requires special and thorough
training. and that is why osteopathy
exists as an independent school OF
medicine. Its practitioners are spec
la,ists. They cure headaches. as they
do other diseases not by pulling" a
bone, unless bone needs pulling"
but by finding the cause of each
special headache and giving that
cause whatever treatment is needed
to cure 1t. So in a dozen different
headaches none might be treated
alike osteopathically and yet ten OF
eleven of the dozen would likely be
cured
Osteopathy is probably doing more
for suffering humanity than any re-
cent discovery, and ! should like foI
you TO investigate its merits.
