TWO CHEAP MEDICINES
One of the cheapest medicines that
mortal can use 10 sleep. 1t is sovereign
remedy for weakness it relieves languor;
it cures restlessness, uneasiDess and irrita-
bility it also cures nervousness. When
weary we should rest when exhausted
we should sleep. To resort to stimulants is
suicidal; what weary men need is sleep.
The lack of sleep causes neuralgia, paraly-
sis and insanity. Many person dies for
want of sleep, and the point where mauy
. sufferer turns his feet from the very
gates of death to the open path OF life is
where be sinks to sleep. OF almost every
sick man it may be said, as of Lazarus,
Z" if he sleep, he shall do well" Another
excellent medicine is sunshine. The world
requires more of it, morally and physi-
cally. ft ID more soothing than morphine,
more potent than popie& Il ID good for
liver complaint, for neuralgia, for rheuma-
tism, for melancholy-fOr everything.
Make your rooms sunny and cheerful;
build your house so as to command the
sunlight all day long.
