SLEEPLEss people-and they are
many in America-should court the
sun. The very worst soporifc is lauda-
mum, and the very best, sunshine.
Therefore, it is very plain poor sleepers
should pass as many hours as possible
IN the shade. Many women are mar
tyrs, and yet they donot know it. They
shut the Sunshine out of their houses
and their hearts, they wear wells. they
carry parasols, they do all possible to
keep off the subtlest and yet most po-
tent influence which is attended to give
them strength and be. Ny and cheer
fitness. Is it not time to change this.
and SO get color and roses in our pale
cheeks, strength in our weak backs, and
courage in or timid souls? The women
OF America are pale and delicate; they
may be blooming and strong, and the
sunlight will be potent influence in
this transformation.
WET EARTH CURE.-A new way of
dressing wounds was discovered by ac-
cident by DR.. Neuberg, Of Germany.
Two years ago there appeared at the
clinic laborer who had sustained
compound fracture of the forearm eight
or ten days before, with considerable
laceration. He had got comrade to
surround the whole forearm at once
with a thick paste of peat mold, on
which was laid rough splint of wood.
When he came to the clinic he was in
good general health, and on clearing
off the mold the doctor found the wound
to be healing beautifully, without any
sign of suppuration. DIR. Neuberg was
led by this experience to investigate the
properties of peat mold, and his conclu-
sion is that it is peculiarly valuable for
the purpose of dressing wounds, chiefly
because of it's great power of absorbing
the products Of decomposition.-NelU

How TO RECRUIT TIRED-OUT NERVES.
Sometimes what we call "laziness"
ought to be allowed. A child Cor man)
who grows fat and lazy from over-feed-
ing, should be put upon palmer diet
and urged to exercise. But those who
grow languid and have little appetite
from nervous exhaustion, ought to be
carefully nourished by nutritious food
of easy digestion (since the digestive
organs are probablyin weak condition.,
and allowed to rest and gather up
strength before being called upon to
expend it. No stimulants will afford
any real help. They call out the
strength temporarily, and make one
feel strong while the influence lasts, but
this is only wasting the strength. One
may live for a time upon stimulants, and
appear to be helped by them, but only
genuine nourishment really builds up
the strength. Food alone, however
good, cannot cure nervous exhaustion.
Pure air, sunlight Gall Of this that one
can get and endured, cleanliness, warm,
easy clothing and restful surroundings,
, are all essential, and these natural
agencies alone will affect cure in al
most every case if taken in time, while
the case is durable. The food taken
should be real nourishment, not SIM
ply the pretty little invalid's dishes,
made up of delicate starches and flavor
ings, that one often sees recommended
by ignorance. Starch has nothing for
the brain and nerves, and for this rea-
son white bread is very poor food.
Flour should be used that contains all
of the gluten of the wheat. The ZEN
tire wheat -four" is recommended by
physicians as the..best. Dat meal, good
milk, eggs, beef and the best fruits and
vegetables, all help no build up strength.
PuIe air night and day are needed, and
the time should be spent out of doors
as much as possible.
For those who are only beginning to
suffer from nervous exhaustion, light
gardening and other employment may
be useful. Those who are much Worn
down with brain labor had better not
try anything at first more laborious than
riding, as walking wearies an already
tired brain. There is no more health
full and enjoyable exercise than light
horseback riding; it brings many mus
7cles into play, diverting the mind, and
gives tone tone to both mind and body.
