| That high collars tend to produce
nervous headache among both men and
women Is the most recent discovery OF
Il wcll-known Vicnnese physician. Quite
accidentally the doctors attention was
directed to the very high and very tight
style Of collar worn by u patient who
was always complaining of headaches
and giddlness. The collar was laid
aside. thus removing the compression
of the neck. and the patients head
aches AMI glldiness disappeared.
Struck by this result. the doctor paid
particular attention to the kind of col.
lars worn by his Headache patients"
and In very many Instances the change
to lower ana easier fitting collars
brought Immediate relief. In the case
of women wearln; high. stlf neckbands
II was found that doing away with
these had u similarly beneficial result.
The doctor declares that nobody with
any tendency to headache should wear
high collars.
