FRIEDMAN, ABRAHAM & CO,
The Parent of Insomnia.

The parent of insomnia or wakefulness
is in nine cases out Of ten a dpspeptic
stomach. Good digestion gives sound
sleep, Indigestion interferes with it. The
brain and stomach sympathize. One of
the prominent symptoms of weak state
OK the gastric organs is a disturbance of
the great nerve entrepot, the brain. Invig-
crate the stomach, and you restore equilib-
rum to the great centre. A most reliable
medicine for the purpose is Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, which is far preferable to
mineral sedatlves and powerful narcotics,
which, though they may for time exert a
seporifc influence upon the brain, soon
cease 10 act, and invariably injure the tone
of the stomach. The Bitgers, on the con-
trary, restore activity to the operations Of
that all important organ, and their benef-
cent influence is reflected in sound sleep
and tranquil state of the nervous sys-
tenn. A wholesome impetus is likewise
given to the action Of the liver and bowels
BY It's use.
