way as to bring all the muscles into play,
at least once a day.
"To relieve an attack flush the colon.
"Headaches, which so largely result from the retention of impure
matter in the body, will be cured if a good quantity, say two or
three glasses, of hot water be drank in the morning or at night,
and then the next regular meal omitted, so that an interval of
house-cleaning can be had before other material is moved
in."--_Life and Health._
"Avoid pills and powders. Persons suffering from headache need
to be warned against taking remedies that contain opium and
alcohol, and also against the use of a recent popular remedy,
usually called a 'white powder' or 'white tablet.' They take the
latter readily because the druggist or physician says it
contains no opium. This is true, but it is one of the lately
discovered coal tar preparations (anti-febrine, acetanilid,
etc.) and is very depressing to the human system. Headache is
usually a symptom of trouble somewhere else, often in the
alimentary canal, an overloaded stomach, constipation, or tight
clothing. Learn the cause and remove that, and the headache will
disappear."--DR. H. J. HALL, Franklin, Ind.
"Gentle massage is helpful and the use of cold compresses. Lack
of sufficient sleep will cause headache. Women often bring on
nervous headache by overwork and worry."
HEMORRHAGE:--"Never give alcohol in a case of profuse
hemorrhage. The faint feeling, or irresistible inclination to
lie down is nature's own method of circumventing the danger, by
quieting the circulation and lessening the expulsive force of
the heart, thus favoring the formation of clot at the site of
the injury."--_Clinique._
"For uterine hemorrhage an emetic to induce vomiting is the best
cure."--Dr. Higginbotham in _British Medical Journal_.
"If the faint is dispelled too quickly, and the blood-vessels
are relaxed by alcohol, or the heart aroused to energetic action
by any remedy, the hemorrhage may recommence, and may prove
fatal. Quiet, the application of cold, pressure, the elevation
of the wound where possible, and the absence of stimulants, are
the cardinal points of treatment in most cases."--DR. RIDGE.
"If then, it seems absolutely necessary to rouse a person out of
a dead faint, what can be done? Swallowing is out of the
question,
