Things You Should Know
HEADACHES.

Many people suffer with head
aches, indeed few escape this dis
tressing symptom.
The cause of headaches may be
indicated with tolerable accuracy
by the location of the pain in the
head. For instance, if the top Of
the head is the site of pain, the
trouble is with over-wrOught
nerves in either sex. If the patient
Is a woman, the ovaries may be
suspected as the cause, which ovar-
ian sedatives are likely to relieve.
The futility of headache tablets"
Is plainly apparent. The cause
must be removed.
Headaches between the eyes
at the top of the nasal bone-are
generally due to disease of the ma
sal passages, attention to which
will produce relief and cure. Head
aches over the brows, called
frontal" are in the main due to
the stomach, where our efforts
should be directed. If the pain is
above the frontal region, at the
margin of the scalp above the fore
head, attend to constipation.
Basal headaches may be due to
defective eyesight or glasses; they
may also be due to kidney disease;
or to a rheumatic condition; or to
working in an unnatural position
for long periods. Massage and
physical culture movements, and
better still, exercise in the open
may wear away such attacks, plain
ly due to fatigue, unless other
causes are apparent. Finally, head
aches beneath the eyebrows are at
tributed to disease of the eye it
self. The oculist should be consult
ed. Remember lastly, that headache
tablets are often dangerous, espec-
tally so when chosen at random
without the advice of a capable
physician. Headaches should not
be ignored or passed up lightly.
They may announce something ser
ious.
CUSTOM VS.. COMMON-SENSE.
I saw a man suffering from
sciatic neuTitis, due to an injury
to his hip. Somebody told him he
had rheumatism, and that it was
caused by defective teeth; he had
eleven teeth extracted; did the neu-
ritis get well promptly No. IF
he had sold the car just before he
cranked it, he might have escaped
the neuritis which followed; but to
extract teeth for an injury to the
hip, we'll.
Another patient suffered with a
lame back for q number of months.
rheumatism" of course. She sub
united to a severe tonsil operation
and, kept her backache until the
real cause of it was discovered By
a careful. diagnostician.
Parting with all of ones teeth
is a grave matter; but the fact re-
mains, that thousands Of service
able molars are sacrificed annual
ly, IN obedience to custom-to a
fad.
The tOnsil may be diseased
many times they are; but, is the
only remedy TO be found in extirpa-
ton? We treat other injections
successfully and preserve the IN
fected organs, why not give the
tonsl a chanceP l believe that
multiplied thousands of durable
tonsils are "massscred" that should
have been cured nationally, and
this does not mean that the hone
less tOnsil should not como out az
soon as possible.
It is 50 easy to go to extremes.
Some day there may be a REQUIRE
ment that all high-school pupils
shall have their appendices remov-
ed as n qualification for entry.
Once we removed ovaries on the
slightest pretext. Sanity is return
ing in this field, 1 am glad to saw.
Let Us study how to preserve teeth
and tonsils, before we become a ma
ton Of "plate-bearers" and tonsa
tends.
