Bishop Lyman Discovers That They Are
Remedy for Insomsnia.
Under date of RALEIGH, March 10, Rev.
DR.. Theodore B. Lyman, Episcopal Bishop
ofNorth Carolina, has written the following
letter to the Raleigh Daily Ners and
Courier:
Il think I have made a very valuable
discovery, and 1 am anxious that Others
should also enjoy the benefit of it. For
nearly two years 1 have been suffering
greatly from sleeplessness at night, and
frequently have not been able 20 sleep
more than one or two hours during the
night. have tried a great number ofpro-
posed remedies, some Of which have helped
ne s little, but not for any length of time.
