School-hoys and Headaches.
Prof. Troichler has delivered a lecture
before the German Association of Natur¬
alists and Physicians which contains a
fact of some interest to teachers. Ha
says that headache in schools schools, decidedly
increases, until in some and
no tably in Nuremberg, one-third of the
scholars suffer from it. He believes
that the cause is over intellectual ex¬
ertion, caused partly by the principally adoption by of
too manv subjects, but
the tendency to demand niglit-work.
The brain is then freshlv taxed when its
cells aro exhausted. iVe begin to hear
the same complaint in England, and espe¬
cially from London schools, are
tempted to believe that in some of them
an imperceptible but steady increase
in the amount of night-work demanded
has been going on, which is passing a
safe limit. It does not hurt the quick,
and it does not hurt the stupid, but it
does hurt the demands, boys and girls and who have want
to fulfill all not
quite the quickness to do it. The usual
quantity of Latin, for example, to last be
learned at night has within the
thirty years more than doubled, while
the pressure from parents upon the
children to learn it all has increased in
nearly tlio same proportion, The in
creased crowding of schools explains
much, but it does not explain this head¬
ache, which is not suffered by the boys
in proportion to their ill-health .—Ihe

Under date of July 9, 18 C 2, E. B. Bright, modes, o

narrative, which, irom Its v»ry
the true rin^ of line jzold. Jiesiys:
father is using Hunt’s Bauiedy and seems t
be improving, in fact, he is very much belter
than he lias been for a long time. He had oeei
tapped three times. The first time they g<»
from him sixth-ell Quarts of water, the secon»
time thirteen quarts, and fulljr r" tiuich mon
the third time, and lio would constantly nil uj
again every time after he had been tapped
until he commenced usitig Hunt’s Remedy
which acted like magic in his 5 CC ase, as n
begun id improve at once and now hi;

He > is a ; well-known citizen of this pla> ce, and
has s always al been in badness here.”
Again he writes. November 27, 1882 :
‘‘I beg most cheerfully and truthfully t
state, in regard to Hunt’s Remedy, that its
use was the saving of my father’s life. 1
spoke to you in my previous letter in rt g n -
to his being tapped th ej times. It is tl
most remarkable case that has ever bee
heard of in tliis sec:ion. For a man of •f hi iu
years (sixty years) it is a most remarkabb
cure. He had been unable to attend to h
business more than a year, and was given Hunt >.v
by the doctors. The first bottle of
Remedy that he used gave instant relief. H
htis u std in all seven bottles, and contm.uc-s
to use it whenever he feels drowsy or slug¬
gish, and it affords instant relief. He is no j
attending to his regular business and i:as bee:
several months. 1 am perfectly willing trial
you sht uUl publish this letter, as we ttio!
oughly believe that father’s life was saved b;
using Hunt’s Remedy and these facts given
above may be a benefit to others suffering in
like manner from diseases or inaction of the
kidneys and liver.”
