HEADACHE Little Talks on Health and Hygiene By Samuel G. Dixon, M. D, LL D., Commissioner of Health Headache is one of the most com mon ailments. Almost everyone, even people in comparatively good health, are subject from time to time to this malady. Because it manifests itself in more or less the same form and gen eral locality, the majority of people are wont to believe that the source of the difficulty is located in the cranium itself. This is rarely the case. The causes of headache are numerous and cannot be removed by the use of smelling salts, ice bags, cold towels and headache powders. Headache may com» from defective teeth or eyes, from acute digestive disturbances, from a sluggish action of the liver and in testinal canal, long continued irritation of the nasal cavities, high blood pres sure or other causes as widely varied as those mentioned. Constantly recurring headaches may also be manifestations of profound sys temic disturbances of some other part of the bodv which demands medical at tention. the cause, more serious than the headache itself, should be found and cured. Often the immediate cause of headache is the over stimulation of the heart. Undue heart stimulation accompanies a number of organic disturbances and results in abnormally high blood pres sure in the brain; the majority of the headache remedies which are offered for >ale contain some powerful heart de pressant which brings temporary re lief. There is always danger, however, in the use by a layman of any drug which is sufficiently strong to have this result when there is some weakness of the heart. These hesJaehe cures which are indiscriminately offered do not correct the real cause of the dis turbance. Serious or even fatal results may come from constant use and they can not effect a cure. Anyone subject to recurring headaches should consult a physician that the cause may be deter mined before any treatment is given.
