Sleepiessness IS growing evil. In our busy
age, when so many men and women overtax
both physical and mental strength through
oveTwork or pleasure taking, there are five
times as many cases of Insomnia" " as there
were generation ago. What TO do for these
cases is one ofthe difficult problems with which
the medical profession has TO deal. Their chief
dependence lies in the use of Chloral, Opium
Bromide, Chloroform or some other narcotizing
substance These bring temporary but not re-
freshlng sleep, and leave the nervous system,
after their effects cease, in more exhausted
condition than before, and with lessened abil-
lty to sleep. The case of every one who resorts
to these drugs becomes in consequence of the
necessity for continually using them in grad
ually increasing quantities, simply hopeless.
But IS there no safe way of qIieting the eX-
cited nerves and inducing a sleep that will be
healthy, refreshing and permanent? Happily
there is, under treatment which does no vio-
lence to the system and cures by restoring the
vital forces and nerve power to their normal
condition.
wonderful case Of" Insomnia" and recov-
cry from it, is that of Mr. Arthur Hagan, the
weH-known wholesale tobacconist of Philadel-
phia. Mr.. Uagan is one of the largest dealers
IN tobacco and is the Philadelphia representa-
tive Of the great Baltimore house of G.. W. Gail

his store, No 63 North Frbnt ST., to inquire
about his case, Mr.. Hagan said:
My case was one of severe and long contin-
ued insomnia, proceeding largely from dyspep-
sia, the result Of too great application to bust
