Jack Mills Opinion.
Bishop Lyman has discovered
that half a pint of parched
ground peas eaten Just before
going to bed and followed by a
glass Of milk will promote
sleep and aid digestion. Very
good. DR.. Dio Lewis says the
best remedy for dyspepsia is to
drive a dray. A .woodsaw is
just as good. Our prescription
for insomnia is q clear con-
science, a light supper aud q
warm bath taken very deliber-
ately just before going to bed.
