INSOMNIA.
Are the American People Boz
coming n Nation of
LunaticS?
The Frigh;ful Increase OF Insanity
caused by Nervousness and sieeeP-
Ienessness.

caused by Nervousness and sIeeeP-
Ienessness.
The increase of insanity in America during
the last ten years has been more than fifty
percent The largest and finest public
buildings recently erected have been for the
care of lunatics, and they are all filed to
their fullest capacity. These facts are ap-
palling. They show that something must
be done speedily to prevent this increase or
we shall become a nation of lunatics. One
of the greatest causes of insanity is loss of
sleep. Physicians say that when persons
fail TO sleep for four nights they are on the
verge of insanity. And yet narcotics are
dangerous. 1t is only when the body is y ell
that perfect sleep can be secured. COM
mittee of physicians, that recently invcs-
tigated this subject, found the lack of life
force in the system brought about more
nervousness more sleeplessness, and move
madness than any other known cause.
With these attested facts before us, We
can easily see that only by adding to the
vital force can health be retained, disease
avoided, and death postponed. This can
only be done, however by the use of a
strong toning power, and for this purpose
nothing has ever equaled Nohna Cordial
1t is not designed as a cure-ali but rs life
giver. 1t takes the system when it is at low
ebb and bringsit back to vigOr. ItpreventS
the coming on of debility. 1t quicts the
nerves and strengthens the muscles so that
sleep is not only possible but refreshing.
If our people desire their health I'M
impaired, in spite of bad water, malarial in
fuences and other health enemies that
suTToundthem, they must have some STANDARD
remedy that imparts vigor while adding
strength This is a subject which call for
most serious and immediate attention, and
one that cannot be postponed nor neglected.
The Volina Cordial above referred TO, is a re-
Gently discovered medical compound made
into a pleasant tasting Cordial, so pleasant
you hardly imagine you are taking medicine.
Since its introduction a marked effect Las
been found, by critical observers, upon
those persons who have used it, and it is
absolutely contributing more to check nery-
business, debility, insomnia sloeplessnessa and
insanity than any other known agency. As
such. its value is ines Unable.
