Excerpt from On the Causes, Cure, and Prevention of the Sick-Headache Such being the facts, it follows that to secure an exemption from the disease, we ought to endeavour to assimilate our habits as much as possible, to those of that class of society which is happily exempt from it; and it is agreeable to know that this object can be effected without any diminution of rational enjoyment. Part of the general advice I intend to give may indeed be objected to, because those who are affected will be called upon to lay aside habits and some articles of diet, which from having been long indulged in, they may deem necessary to comfort; but those who have not resolution to submit to the privations to be mentioned, must make _up their minds to suffer from the com plaint; - there is no alternative.

James Mease was the son of John and Esther (Miller) Mease. He was born on August 11, 1771 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. His father was a wealthy shipping merchant and a Revolutionary patriot.
James entered the University of Pennsylvania in 1784 and after graduating in the College in 1787, began a course in the medical school of the same institution, receiving the degree of M. D. in 1792. In August 1790, while he was still a student, he published an article on hydrophobia in the American Magazine. When he prepared his thesis for his medical degree, he enlarged the same subject in his Inaugural Dissertation on the Disease Produced by the Bite of a Mad Dog or Other Rabid Animal (1792). The essay was dedicated to Benjamin Rush, who had been one of his professors.
In 1808 Mease published in the Philadelphia Medical Museum a paper revealing the quackery practiced in connection with diseases produced by the bites of snakes and mad dogs. During the War of 1812, he served as a hospital surgeon. He became identified with many of the organizations of Philadelphia. He was one of the managers of the "Company for the Improvement of the Vine, " in connection with which he developed a vineyard, and he was a leader in the organization of the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society. Many of his papers were read before the American Philosophical Society to which he was elected in 1802 and which he served from 1824 to 1830 as curator and from 1832 to 1836 as councilor. Mease died in Philadelphia and lies buried in the ground of the Third Presbyterian Church in that city.
