Fo the PROPRIETORS of the MAGAZINE of MAGAZINES,

GENTLEMEN,

The Utility of the following Effay on the Nature, Caufe and Method of curing that troublefome Diforder the HEAD-ACH. will, I dare fay, be a fufficient Motive to procure it a Place in your ufeful MAGAZINE: And, if only a few of your numerous Readers ball reap any Benefit from it. I fall think the Small Time and Pains it has coft me very well employed, and, I believe, you will be pleased with having inferted it.

Yours, &c. A. R.

HE head-ach is a very pain- um, from which it may be fepa

membranes of the head, proceeding from various caufes, and frequently attended with a variety of troublefome fymptoms, according to its different degree and fituation.

This pain affects different parts of the head, for which no other Jeafon can be affigned, than that the kull, both internally and externally, is furnished with distinct nervous membranes. On the external furface of the skull occurs that fine and exquifitely fenfible membrane, which immediately furrounds it, and which, in its anterior, intermediate, and poAterior parts, receives many fmall arteries from the external carotid, and mall ramifications of nerves from the vertebra of the neck, and the feventh pair of the brain. But the pericraneum coheres with the mufcles contiguous to the cranium, or Ikull, and, by means of the futures, with the exterior lamina of the dura mater. In this membrane, namely, the pericranium, we place the most common and frequent feat of an head ach, which is, among other circumftances, demonftrated to be true, by the external application of medicines calculated to alleviate pain, as alfo by cupping, iffues, cauteries, and blifters. Nor muft we here exclude the fkin, efpecially its internal part, which is contiguous to the pericaniVOL. XII.

buted feveral blood-veffels. This is the principal feat of that species of pain which is dull, heavy, and accompanied with a fenfation or preffure, whereas that which is more acute has its feat in the pericranium.

Nor is the interior membranes which furrounds the brain, and is called the dura mater, exempted from pain. This membrane is formed of highly tendinous and nervous fibres, and is furnished with ramifications from the fifth and feventh pair of nerves. And, laftly, that fine, and exquifitely fenfible membrane, which covers the finus of the forehead, is frequently the feat of the most acute and intenfe pain.

Pains of the head are widely dif ferent from each other, according to the parts in which they are feated, as alfo according to their degrees and duration; for this reafon authors have aligned different names to different fpecies of head-achs. If the pain is fight, and affects only a part of the head, it is called cephalalgio; but, if it is more intense and durable, and affects the whole head, it is called cephalaa; which Galen beautifully defcribes in the following words: A cephalea fays he, is a lafting pain of the whole 3 P
