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.
