she cured herself OF lifelong insomnia by the use of
the flesh brush glove, which can be obtained
through any druggist She said: 1.-THE last thing
before retiring gave myself thorough rubbing
beginning with my and ending with my feet
gave each part twenty-five strokes, up and down
except the feet, which received an unlimited
number. At first twice rose and renewed the fric
ton to my feet A refreshing nights sleep for me
means eight or nine hours of unbroken slumber but
occasionally have spells of wakefllnesS, hence
have taken much interest in remedies that do not
call for narcotics. Long may the Womans King
dom flourish.
