HEADACHES.

The Cause and Remedy.

THE HONGKONG DAILY FRESS, SATURDAY, JANUARY 11TH, 1913.

Sick and Nervous Headaches are but the symptoms of other ail- ments to which they are merely sympathetic, such as Indigestion,

Biliousness, Constipation, or some other irregu larity of the system. Many womeri habitually suffer from Headaches, which make life a daily purgatory. Indeed this complaint may be regarded as peculiarly an affection of the feminine sex, an ailment common to all women from girlhood to old age. If men suffered from Headaches as women do, business would be at a standstill, but the truth is that a woman's headache is generally due to womanly causes. Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills get at the cause. They aid the digestion and assimilation of food, cleanse the system and purify the blood, and are a positive cure for sick headache, biliousness and stomach disorders.

WHY VENUS IS ARMLESS.

M. Jean Aicard, the Academician, tella us why the Venus of, Milo has no arms. Many are the theories on the subject. Some have supposed the goddess lacks Arms because the sculptor, twenty cen- turies ago, feared to complete his work. The professional golfer is ħ finer player How could be make these members beau- than the amateur exponent of the game, biful enough!

It was not that they were hitting the ball abnormal distances.

At an amateur meeting one will hear a spectator who has failed to follow the light. of the tee shot excitedly remark, Where has he gone to this time?" At professional meeting the spectator justi watches the middle of the course at a point where he expects the ball should land. He takes it as a matter of course, that it will land somewhere in that vicinity, and is surprised if it does not do so. It is a great compliment to the professional, but he deserves the compli ment, as, on the average, he is up infinite- ly more accurate driver than the amateur exponent of the game.

It is the ways and methods of the spectator who is present at the big meet- ings which serve to endorse this view. He expects the professional to drive straight, and is surprised if he does not do so. He is in the throes of doubt as to whether the amateur will drive straight, and is in consequence full of admiration for the feat when he happens to do so. These feelings have been forced upon him by association with the two classes of players when he is acting, the role of spectator. He may be quite unconscious that the play of the amateur and the professional are responsible for the awakening of different and distinctive emotions in his soul, but it is very true, nevertheless; and, moreover, very evident to the looker. on who is gifted with powers of observa- tion..
