THE FAMILY DOCTOR.
Sick Headache. — The periodical recurrence^of sick headache with many persons, is a grievous afiiiction. Thoae who suffer from- it shbald correct every habit, and avoid all indiscretion« ,' which they know are likely to be followed by an attack. They should also overcome every derangement of the system which exists, if possible, and strengthen every part and function thereof. In fact, they should not treat at firßt, the head' and its aches, but endeavour to build up the general health. In the attempt to do so they must not indiscriminately dose themselves with drugs, but rather depend upon pure air, exercise, sufficent sleep, good wholesome food, and other measures of a similar character. One' of. th« greatest essentials in treatment will be a careful selection of diet, and a rigid restriction to those, articles ot food which, in. theit, experience, haye proved the least burdensome to their digestive organs. There is no dietary which is alike suited to all. Each must learn what, and how much, is proper for him or her to eat, and what, should . be avoided; and those substances which/ are known to be difficult of digestion should never be indulged in. .
