It is purely a symptom and only a thorough examination will reveal the cause. There are many kinds of head- acnes, borne headaches may indi cate that a serious illness is in the offing, especially when fever ac companies them. Children's diseas es, infantile paralysis, influenza, meningitis and olher contagious diseases begin with a headache. The ache may be located in dif ferent parts of the head, its loca tion usually indicates the part of the body from which the headache originates, To many people, excitement or any emotional disturbance will cause a headache. Fear, worry, overwork, loss of ' sleep or any other condition that saps the in dividuals vitality may result in a headache. In such cases the vic tim' reserve of vital energy is usually below par and the least deviation from the sufferer's nor mal life results In a headache. The pain centers on top of the head. High blood pressure, by forcing blood through tfie vessels of the head, will cause a pain at the base of the brain. Hardened arteries having lost their elasticity, fail to expand as normally required at every heart beat. This resistance usually results in a headache. Low blood pressure, resulting from a weakened heart or lack of sufficient nerve force to regulate the circulation, causes a deficiency of blood to the brain tissues. The Kaln will be located on top of the ead. Sudden changes in blood pressure cause headaches. , Migraine is a violent, paroxys mal headache, which recurrs with regular frequency, usually affect ing one side of the face only.

There are ap proximately five million migraine sufferers in this country. The larg est percentage of sufferers are women. That boring pain above the eye or in me eneck Done, worse in the morning, usually indicates si nus trouble. Pain at the back of the head may mean eye strain or weak eyes. Allergic headaches manifest themselves alter eating certain foods. Hunger headaches and indigestion headaches indicate an over sensitive nervous system. Toxic headaches are very com mon and may be caused by an over burdened digestive tract and constipation. Too much food as well as too much drinking may leave the patient with a hangover.
