A Health Hint for All Who Wear Collars

A Vienna doctor has discovered that one of the most frequent causes of headaches is the tight and high collar. He has been experimenting with various patients, and he finds that those who suffer from frequent headaches are always those who are in the habit of wearing high collars.

His attention was drawn one day to the high neckband of a woman patient who was subject to violent pains in the head and to dizziness. He persuaded her to lay aside this form of neckwear, with the result that the compression of the neck ceased, and she was cured.

Struck by this result, the doctor has paid particular attention to the collars worn by his headache patients, and in almost all cases the change to lower and easier neckbands has been beneficial. The doctor declares that nobody with any tendency to headache should wear a high collar.

Joseph Cook, while speaking at Chautauqua, had an attack that almost resembled apoplexy. It was caused entirely by a tight neckband. The writer learned that lesson early, and indorsed this Vienna doctor.—Selected.
