PUT TO SLEEP BY PHONOGRAPH
This with the Aid Of Revolving Color Disks the Newest
Cure for Insomnia.

II you can't sleep tie up TO a phono-
graph. II dispels bad dreams and goes
a long way toward preventing those
forms OF insanity 10 which insomnia
and Nightmares lead. Many a man IN
the over-busy life of today takes hls
worries 20 bed with him. where they
torment him half the night, This Is
wearing on the nerves, for after being
harassed by the thousand noises OF the
city during the day the nerves demand
rest. Only sleep can give Il TO them,
and nowadays the time set apart for
sleep Is all too short. thanks to the
demands OF business and Of social du-
ties. And to be deprived OF half OF even
this scant portion by n lot OF demon
plans and schemes that are trouble
some enough in day time is an unmiC-
gated outrage.

DR., Corning materially softens the

tening Is due likely TO the length OF
the rubber tube between the phono-
