Sleep as a Medicine.

The cry for rest has always been louder
than the cry for food. Not that it is more
important, but it is often harder to get.
The best rest comes from d sound sleep
OF two men orspSomen, otherwise equal,
the one who sleeps the best. will be the
most moral, healthy and efficient. Sleep
will do much to cure irritability of temper,
peevishness, uneasiness. 1t will restore to
vigor, ar oyerwarked BRAIN. It will build
mp and make strong a weary body. II will
relieve the tanguor and prostration felt by
c~onsnmptives. 1t will curc hypochondria,
1t will cure the headache. It will cure
= broken spirit. It will cure sorrow.
Indeed, we might make a long list of ner-
yons maladies that sleep will cure. The
cure Of sieepiessness requires a Gle Il, good
bed, sufficient exercise to produce weari-
ness, pleasant occupation. good air and hot
too warm q room. freedom from too much
care, q clean stomach. a clear conscience
and avoidance Of stimulants anil narcotics.
For those who ale overworked, haggard,
nervous WHO pass sleepless nights, we
commend the adoption Of such habits as
shall secure sleep; otherwise fife will Be
short and what there is Of it sadly imper-
