also bring on painful muscle con-
fractions which may last longer
than the original pain. This type Of
uble-barrelled headache is often
noted in migraine, or following an
injury to the head. It is particularly
common in people who have painful
eye, teeth. or nasal disorders. 1t may
also occur as a result Of infection
or injury Of the muscles.
The headache due to contracted
muscles is accompanied by a feeling
Of tightness or pressure in the at
fected area. Tenderness over these
muscles is often present.
Headache may be produced in the
front part of the head by contrac-
ton Of the muscles in this locality.
However, such headaches are less
frequent and milder than those
which occur in the back part of the
head. The headache may be made
worse by movements which stretch
the muscles. They are improved by
measures which permit muscle re-

Rest in Bed
The treatment in such cases con-
sists Of rest in bed, the application
of heat and the use Of massage.
Pain-relieving preparations may be
prescribed by the physician. In Sc
we're cases. stretching Of the mus
cles may be necessary.
When headache is due to emotion
al excitement and strain, the pa.
tents way of living must be altered
to keep the attacks from occurring.
Reinsurance of the patient by the
physician is often helpful.
When a patient has headache, he
is always in need Of a thorough
study to determine its exact cause.
1t is only when this is discovered
that treatment can be carried out
successfully.

IN seeking to relieve headache,
the doctor has several modes Of at
tack open to him. He may direct
treatment to the nerves which carry
the pain sensation to the brain, or
he may give drugs which deaden
pain by their effect on the brain it
self. Lastly, he may attempt to get
rid of the underlying cause of the
headache.
There are many structures in the
head which are sensitive to pain,
though the brain itself is not. The
principal sources of pain within the
skull are the large veins and arte-
ries, and certain nerves arising from
the brain. Naturally. any swelling
Of these tissues in the enclosed area
of the skull will cause pressure
which will be reflected as pain.
Common Cause
A common cause Of headache and
one which is frequently overlooked
is undue contraction of the muscles
of the head and neck. Such attacks
Of headache are often brought on
by anxiety and worry and, As might
be expected, they are accompanied
by feeling of tension and nervous
ness.
Pain elsewhere in the head may
