Headache Due TO Monotony.

Who are the people who have this
kind of headache? They are men and
women who lead life OF deadly same
ness. whose work necessarily Is with
out stimulating variety, and who have
little opportunity for social compan-
ionship or entertainment
There are many women especially
on isolated farms in the country who
lead a very hard working life from
early dawn until bedtime. and who
are very much alone day after day.
There Is no variety of interest. Every
day Is like another, and after years of
this monotonous life, the steady head
aches develop, because stagnation in
normal brain activity, with congestion
Of the circulation in the brain, Is pres
ent; there is no stimulating mental life
and no outlet for individual express
sion. Wherever there Is congestion
and suppression in the body, there IL
