FOUR KINDS OF HEADACHES
By Dr. W. A. Evans.— Courtesy Chicago Tribune Any sensation of any sort anywhere inside or outside the skull or within a few inches of the skull is liable to be called a headache. Worse still, not content to throw all disagreeable sensations of the head into one bag labeled headache, we have one remedy for headache— a coal-tar headache cure. And worse still, though this remedy may give temporary ease, it causes more head¬ aches than it cuies. Though this coal-tar cure be called anti-this or anti-that, or by one or another copyrighted name, essentially the medicine is the same. There are a dozen kinds of headaches, and what is proper for one is not proper for another. Then where is the sense in having one headache remedy for every¬ body that has headache and for every kind of headache? In an annual address before the Iowa medical society Dr. Patrick told his audience of some things that he had observed about kinds of headaches. If a headache be due to rheumatism, it is necessary, first, that it be recognized as such. The cause of rheu¬ matism is pus accumulation from some source of infec¬ tion. As in all other forms of rheumatism, the source of infection must be found and remedied. For relief, nothing is better than massage, heat locally, and aspirin internally. The second form of headache discussed by Dr. Pat¬ rick was that from sinus trouble. The pain from sinus headache is not especially liable to be located near the sinus. In cases of sinus headache there is very apt to be a little fever—a half a degree or such at some time during the day. A good nose specialist can locate sinus trouble, and a blood examination shows some increase in the white cells during the spell. Sinus headache is helped by steaming the nose or soaking the face in hot water. When the offending sinus is cleaned out, the headache gets well. The third variety discussed is the neurasthenic head¬ ache. The headache of neurasthenia is not a pain; it is an unpleasant feeling of pressure. This sensation is liable to be geometric—a band, a circle, a point, a streak, a square, or a parallelogram. When the pain is described in this way, or emotion is a factor. Dr. Patrick told the physicians the headache is neurasthenic and must be treated on that basis. Much the most important of the four varieties of headache discussed was migraine. This form of head¬ ache runs in families. It attacks women more often than it does men. It begins in childhood, increases in frequency and severity until the age of 45 or 50, and then lessens. The prime necessity of treatment is to search out and remove every custom which can be classed as wrong living; to change the eating habits, especially if there is a tendency to overeat; to exercise vigorously in the open air; to correct constipation; to search out and remove all sources of ill health as "pelvic pathology and pressure from a deflected septum, enteroptosis and eye strain, constipation and overwork, excessive men¬ struation and loss of sleep, excess of alcohol or tobacco, insufficient food, anaemia and domestic discord." While proper attention to such of the above as may need attention in a given case may not entirely prevent attacks of migraine, the attacks will be less frequent and lighter. It is just in these headaches that coal-tar headache powders and tablets are most used. Tlie great objection to their use is that they increase the fre¬ quency of the headaches.

Description | Harvester World magazine was first published by International Harvester Company in October of 1909. From 1909 to 1946, Harvester World functioned primarily as an employee magazine, carrying news from various factories, branch houses and dealerships around the world. The magazine included biographical sketches of employees; notices of retirements and promotions; announcements regarding new company initiatives or building projects; and a variety of other news relating to nearly every facet of the company’s world wide operations. The magazine was published by the company’s Advertising Department, and also functioned as a way for headquarters to communicate with dealerships. In 1946, the magazine was redesigned and eventually shifted from an employee magazine to a more customer-oriented focus. By the 1950s, most Harvester Articles were human interest stories centering on the people and organizations who used International Harvester products. At the same time, photography became an increasingly important element in the content and presentation of the magazine. The magazine was discontinued in 1969. |
