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.

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,
