The Parent OF Insomnia.

The parent of insomnia or wakefulness is in nine

gastric organs is disturbance of the great nerve

you restore equilibrium to the great centre. A
most reliable medicine for the purpose is Hostel

mineral sedatives and powerful narcotics, which,
though they may Tor a time exert a soporihc in.

BACK WARD.

There seems to be a disposition to restore
capital punishment IN Iowa, the Senate
having passed bill to that effect by nine
majority. The statistics on the subject
gathered respectively by the opponents and
the advocates of hanging are SO conflicting
that it is impossible to form an opinion as
to Iowa on the subject from figures alone.
But there is one thing certain, that hang
ing is most disgusting relic Of barbarism
and It is fact beyond cavil that the aver
age numbers have been less, all things con
sidered, in those European communities
where capital punishment, has been abol-
ished, than In the anteeedent period O
