How to
STOP KILLING
YOURSELF
Latest Views on Miqroine
By DR.. PETER J sTElNcRoHN

Dear DR.. Steincrohn: Is there
anything new for migraine? Not
for cancer, heart disease or any
thing like that. Am being
oresumptuous in asking you to-
'orget these serious diseases for
moment and consider the lowly
headache. AS for treatment,
IN using the conventional medi-
zines that have been prescribed
Tor years. That is why / have
the temerity to ask: Anything
new? Anything new? Oh, how I
nope so!-Mr. w. c."
Answer: You know, suppose,
that migraine is not a rarity.
You have much cosuffering. One
estimate is that 10 per cent of
the population of the United
States is afflicted with it. And
that's not counting all the other
garden varieties of "head-
schmerzen."
For example, consider Mr..
Smith who Is 50-year-old busi-
nessman. He has been having
severe headaches for the past
80 years. The attacks last any
where from "a to 48 hours. He
averages about 10 attacks a year.
Invariably, he is forewarned
before an attack. His eyes be-
come sensitive to light and he
sees zigzag lines and showers of
sparks in front Of his eyes. At
times he loses his vision tempo
Irarily. Such symptoms last for
about a half hour.
Pain Is Severe
A little later comes the main
force Of the attack. He gets a
throbbing pain on one side of
the head. 1t is made much worse
when he coughs or strains or
moves his head suddenly. Nau-
sea and vomiting accompanies
this violent pain and he is left
completely PROSTATE. Veins pop
out on his forehead" for hours
after the attack. At times he has
sweatS and chills.
The case history ! have de-
Iscribed is known to many read
ers. Fortunately, all attacks are
not so facilitating.
We doctors don't know what
causes migraine. We do know that
the attack itself is caused by
an explosive collapse" Of the
cerebral arteries, causing them
to become dilated and expand
with increased pulsations.
Migraine occurs at least twice
as often in the female sex. The
first attack usually begins be-
fore the late teens. In fact,
children Of all ages may suffer
from the disease. Often there
is family history of migraine.

Fred is wise not to be fat

he wants?
/ Apparently. at the outset of
this affair. he simply wanted a
