.Treating Sick Headaches.
There are varieties of reattaches
produced by various causes, as . over
study, or exhaustion ; xr by a peculiar
state oi tne system, as the throbbing
pain in the head which preccds apo :
plexy, but these should be prescribed
for by a physician, writes Elisabeth
KODinson scovil in the May Jxtdiea'
Home Journal. In many cases the
cause oi tne neaaacne - is deep-seated
i - t, 1 -
nu must dc removed Detore perman
ent relief can be hoped ' for. Neural
gia in any part of the body implies
mat tne nerves are starved and are
crying 'out for food. This must be
supplied before the pain will cease.
There are. however, measure which
can be tried to give temporary relief,
ana no one wno nas not suffered from
the headache ol neuralgia knows what
this means to the victim. Camnhor
and chloral, rubbed together until
tney lorni a liquid, may be painted
over the spot, or a menthol pencil used
in the Same manner. If thpse? rannnt
be obtained the face should be bathed
in very hot water and a mustard paste
applied, taking care n6t to leave it on
long enouch to blister. A flannel wet
with chlorofoim liniment maybe tried,
ana a hot-water bag will sometimes
ease the pain. A cup of hot tea fol
lowed by a teasnoonful of valenn.ite
of ammonia may do good. A person
subject to this form of headache should
eat plenty of nourishinz food, as fresh
meat, all the cereals, vegetables, par
ticularly beans and celery, and drink
milk, hot or cold, and coco.i in nre-
ference to tea and coffee. These mav
be used as a stimulant in necessity.
but not as a regular beverage. Friction
oi tne wnoie body by rubbing is val
uable and it should be kent warm in
cold weather by suitable clothing, with
nannei next the skin. esDecia v at
night. '
The teeth should be examined hv a
dentist and properly attended to. If
inese measures tan a nerve tonic is
necessary.

w. a. Kishton, Druggist. io-iA-iy.
A lady who was married to a very
hard drinker tried, very naturally
to induce him to reform, with no ef
fect. She concluded to scare him.
and when he came, loaded up as usual
she put on the costume of a devil that
she had worn at a masquerade balL
and as he opened the door she step
ped out and said in a sepulchral voice:
'Come with me I am the devil."
The result rather upset her, as her
husband said: nZat so? Shake ol'
boy, I'm your brothsr-in law ; I mar
ried your sister." She wisely conclud
ed to let him alone for the future.
I have been a sufferer from catarrh
for years. Having tried a number of
remedies advertised as "sure cures"
without obtaining any relief, I had re
solved never to take any other patent
medicines, when a mend advised me
to try Ely's Cream Balm. I did so
with great reluctance,, but can now
testify that after using it for six weeks
I believe myself cured. It is a most
agreeable remedy an invaluable Balm.
