Cephalalgia
The two portraits of Plate I, reproduced from photographs, represent a child ten years of age, who from infancy had been the victim of headaches. She was feeble, always tired, and rarely free from pain. Attempts to send her to school had proved unsuccessful, for she no sooner commenced attendance than she became prostrated. She had insufficiency of the externi, and operations for its relief was made, upon one eye June 8, 1883, and upon the other June 12th. It needless to tell one who examines these two pictures that the change was marvelous. The weary, heavy, discouraged aspect of the child as shown by the portrait of June 8th is in remarkable contrast with that of June 20th, where vivacity and courage are embodied in her expression. The child returned home to enter school, where she has done excellent work.
