What Dreams May Come.

Institution, DR.. b. w. Richardson
says that the sleep Of health is
dreamless. Dreams" says Shakes
peare, ARE children OF an idle brain"
IL both the doctor and the poet are
right it follows that idle brains are
unhealthy brains. No doubt there
might be truth in the inference, but
that is not quite the point. Are all
dreams signs Of diseased condition.
To this the doctor says NO" He
divides dreams into two classes:
those started by noises or other
causes outside the sleeper and those
produced by pain, fever, or iudiges-
ton.
Here we Inject a fact. We receive
multitudes Of letters containing this
affirmation, almost in identical
words: II v0s worse tired in he morn
ing than when l rent 10 bed" To this
the doctor has an answer. He says,
When are feel wcdried ia the morning
gerry likely IL results from dreams that
IRE hare forgoitsn." Quite so.
In other words there is a bodily
condition which may prevent a per
son from working 10y day at his usual
calling, but obiiges him to labor all
night under a mental stimulus OF
which he knows nothing save by its
resulting exhaustion. These I'M
happy wretches toll harder, there
fore, for 40 compensation, when they
are i'll, than thoy have to do TO earn
living when they are we'll. What
an internal and friShtful fact! And
this toe without taking into account
their physical suffering at all times.
might" said Coleridge, "is my hell"
From one of the letters referred
to we quote what woman says OF
her daughter: "She was worse tired
in a morning than when she trent TO
bed" Poor girl. Those forgotten
dreams" had tossed her about as a
ship is tossed in a tempest. Night
was her day OF labor. ...
The mothers simple tale is this:
"ln June, 1890, my daughter Ann
Elizabeth became low, weak, and
fretful, and complained OF pain in
the chest after eating. Next her
stomach was SO irritable that she
vomited all the food she took. 1t
was awful to see her heave and
strain. For three weeks nothing
passed through her stomach except
a little soda water and lime water.
Later on, her feet and legs began to
swell and puff from dropsy. She
was now pale as death and locked
as though she had not a drop OF
blood in her body, and was always
cold. Month after month dragged
by and she got weaker every day.
She could not walk without sup
port, for she had lost the proper
use OF her legs, and her body sway
ed from side to side as she moved.
"A doctor attended her for twelve
months, and finally said it was no
use giving her any more medicine, as
it would do no good. In May, 1891,
l took her to the Dewsbury Infrm-
airy. She got no better there, and
thought / was surely going to lose
her. She was then thirteen years OF
age.
"One day lady Mrs. Lightoller)
called at my shop and seeing how
bad my daughter was, spoke OF a
medicine called Mother Seigel's Gu.
rative Syrup, and persuaded us to
try it. l got bottle from the
Tbornhili Lees Cooperative Stores,
and she began taking it, la two
days she found little relief; the
sickness was not so frequent. She
kept on with the Syrup and steadily
improved. Soon she was strong as
ever and has since been in the best
OF health and can take any kind Of
