ELUSIVE SLEEP

Amongst sufferers from insomnia thero ''are many who complain to their doctors that wthen they are about their work or sitting still, they can hardly resist the tendency to go to sleep, but tho moment, they lay their heads upon the pillow > sle<a> deserts them. This condition is usually met with in anaemic, debilitated people. An eminent practitioner explains the cause of this. The vessels of the brain having lost their tone cannot contract and regulate the flow of blood through the brain. When, one in this oonditiou is in an upright .position, the uppnr parts of tho body and more particularly the brain, owing to tho laxity of the vessels, are drained of blood. But when the patient lies down the reverse is the'case, and the blood flows too freely through the brain and the imagination is excited. In such cases it is necessary to restore tone by the use of tonics, and it is advisablo for anyona who is debilitated and run down to take a course of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. They increase the blood supply and impart tono to the whole system. Sleep becomes sounder and more refreshing, your worries becomc less, and your work lighter. Tho whole action of these pills is to assist nature to restore,the body to normal activity. They do not contain any' narcotic. Your nearest dealer can supply you with Dr. Williams' Pink Pills at tho price they have always been sold at, 3s. a box, 6 boxes 16s. 6d.
