HEADACHE



M.K., aet. 16, has suffered for years from periodically returning headaches. The pain is concentrated in the right temple and of a boring nature, as if a screw were being driven in as the patient expresses herself. Preceding this pain there is a burning-sensation at the pit of the stomach, bitter taste in the mouth and lassitude. These symptoms are only felt at night, or in the morning. When the attack comes on, the patient is quite unable to attend to any ordinary duties. Generally vomiting of bile follows, and then improvement sets in. Natrum sulph. daily, the size of a bean, dissolved in water, and taken repeatedly, cured the young lady entirely. (From Schussler).
