WHEN YOU CAN'T SLEEP

The inability to go to sleep during regular sleeping hours becomes a serious menace to health. Proper periods of rest both for mind and body are absolutely essential. Insomnia may result from a number of: causes. Highly strung people aro more likely subjects than thoso of a. placid disposition. Indigestion, is a fruitful-cause; so is over study, worry, or grief. There aro those who complain to their doctors that when they are about their work or sitting still they can hardly resist the tendency to go to sleep, but the moment they lay their heads upoii the pillow they cannot get to sleep. This condition- is usually met with in anaemic, debilitated people. An eminent, practitioner explains tho cause of this. The vessels of the brain having lost their tone, cannot contract and regulato tho flow of blood through the brain. When one in this condition is in an upright position, the upper parts of the body and riioro particularly the brain, owing to tho laxity of the vessels, aro drained of blood. But when the patient lies down the reverse is tho case, and tho blood flows too freely through tho brain and the imagination is excited. In such cases it is necessary to restore tono by tho use of tonics, and it is advisable for anyone who is debilitated and run down to take a course of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. They increase the blood supply and impart tone to the whole system. Sleep becomes sounder and more refreshing, your worries become less, and your work lighter. The whole action of those pills is to assist naturo to restore the body to normal activity. They do not contain any narcotic.
