The study of headnelie has been! rendered dificult in the past be cause it has not been possible to produce the disorder at will. In the current issue of The British Medical Journal Dr, G. W. Picker- ing and W. Hess describe a method; of obtaining what may be terned: "experimental headaches."

A minute dose of a substanca called "histamine nel phosphate" is injected into the vein of a normal subject. For about twenty seconds nothing happens, then a metallic taste is felt in the mouth, and simultaneously the face flushes, the blood pressure falls, while the pressure of the fuld which bathes the whole of the nervous system rises. After a further twenty seconds theyc phenomena begin to disappear and headache occurs at about forty seconds after the first appearance of the flushed face.

The effect of various drugs upon the headache thus' produced has been studied, and from the facts observed it is possible to come nearer to an explanation of the Cause of headache. It is

ap- parently in these cases not due to n rise in the pressure within the skull, as actually it in relieved by measurce which raise the intra- cranial pressure.

Study to Continue.

The evidence seems to suggest. that this type of headache arises in the "meninges," the delicate membranes which envelope the brain, and that it is probably mechanical in origin, depending: upon pressure changes between the blood vessels and surrounding structures. It is suggested that the drug which has been used for these experiments products alterations in the normal equili brium between the pressure in the blood vessels of the meninges and the pressure of the fluid outside them which surrounds the brain, and that a state of tension deve- lops which produces the headache. {
