And then this more than Gregorian cure for the head-ache! here was an anodyne infinitely precious to one so brain-feverish as I: had all this pleasure and comfort arisen from such common-place remedials as a dear young lover's courtesy or a deceased old miser's codicil, I should long ago have heard all about it; for, between ourselves, my friend was never known to keep a secret.
One by one Mr. Adams tells about these medical fakes: habit-forming laxatives, head-ache powders full of acetanilid, soothing-syrups and catarrh-cures full of opium and cocaine, cock-tails subtly disguised as "bitters", "sarsaparillas", and "tonics". He shows how the fake testimonials are made up and exploited; how the confidential letters, telling the secret troubles of men and women, are collected by tens and hundreds of thousands and advertised and sold so that the victim, as he begins to lose faith in one fake, finds another at hand, fully informed as to his weakness.
"She says it's a head-ache," said Small Porges, "but I 'specks it's the hops, really, you know." "The hops, my Porges?" "She's worrying about them, she's 'fraid of a storm, like Adam is. An' when she worries, I worry. Oh Uncle Porges! if only my prayers can bring the Money Moon soon, you know, very soon!
Sandford gave me a good look, like one of his looks of old times, that carried me right back somehow to Juanita's cottage. "How do you do, Daisy?" "A little pale," said Mrs. Sandford. "Let her speak for herself." I said I did not know I was pale. "Did you know you had head-ache a good deal of the time?" "Yes, Dr. Sandford, I knew that. It is not very bad."
When I had digested not only this, but a second, I felt a stirring within me; then I ate a small piece of a third romance, and felt myself a poet. I said it to myself, and told others the same. I had head-ache and back-ache, and I cannot tell what aches besides.
My Dear Ainslie, Can you minister to a mind diseased? can you, amid the horrors of penitence, regret, remorse, head-ache, nausea, and all the rest of the damn'd hounds of hell that beset a poor wretch who has been guilty of the sin of drunkenness can you speak peace to a troubled soul?
When the squire had finished his half-hour's nap, he summoned his daughter to her harpsichord; but she begged to be excused that evening, on account of a violent head-ache. This remission was presently granted; for indeed she seldom had occasion to ask him twice, as he loved her with such ardent affection, that, by gratifying her, he commonly conveyed the highest gratification to himself.
I should imagine his opinions to be extremely good, for they are not a multitude. 'Then his lady-but I have not grappled with her yet. Now for the women, for I quite class her with the opposite sex. 'You must know that before I retired for the night, I induced Conning to think she had a bad head-ache, and Rose lent me her lady's-maid they call the creature Polly. A terrible talker.
Never take a bath soon after a meal, as that is injurious. Persons subject to colds, sore throat, rheumatism, sick head-ache, nervous disease, or general debility, have been greatly benefited by the daily use of the shower bath. Children that are oppressed with heat are much refreshed, and will rest well after a bath; the water should be moderated for them.
'Nothing, Julia, answered the husband; 'I had a slight head-ache, but it is over now. Return to your chamber, and I will follow you in a few moments. She obeyed, and Frank was alone. 'Either that woman is as chaste as Diana, he said to himself, 'or she is a consummate wretch and hypocrite. But let her not be too hastily condemned. My friend, Dr.
