CURE FOR INSOMNIA.
FsA-N
New York Physician Finds a Way to
Induce Sleep.

Induce Sleep.
A we'll known New York physician,
who suffered from insomnia for many
years. has found out brand new
method whereby sleep can be instantly
obtained The doctor has tried 1t on
himself and on his patients, and has
never known it to fail. 1t is essential
ly self-asphyxiation, and yet there is no
possibility of danger.
A long breath is first taken and the
air is kept in until positive discomfort
is felt. which is slowly exhaled. This
is repeated second and a third time,
and in minute or SO the patient will
be asleep.
The theory of sleep that finds the
widest acceptance is that sleep is oc-
casioned by exhaustion Of the nutrition
of the brain, due to it's functional ac-
tivity when awake. During sleep there
is flow of nutrition to the brain, con-
sequently an increase of blood to sup
ply its deficiencies. By holding the
breath the head and brain become in
tensely congested with venous blood
loaded with carbonic acid. The car
bonic acid and the other chemical prod
ucts which venous blood contains act on
the nerve tissues, producing sleep, and
the same as ether and chloroform pro-
duce artificial sleep.
If you are truly brain weary do not
try to replace the thoughts with others,
but make the mind blank as far as
possible. Ii the brain is excited turn
1t to monotOnous thoughts, recite
poems or verses, or go over n journey
which you very much enjoyed, recall
Ing even the most trifiing Incidents
Physicians are more and more arriving
At the conclusion that the way of treat
ing Insomnia is not by means of drugs.
There Is always the danger Of forming
the drug habit, and in most cases drugs
are not necessary. II noises inside the
house or outside disturb one, putting
cotton in the ears will be found to give
relief. Those who are troubled with
Sleeplessness should retire at regular
hour each night If there Is fear
Of not being able to sleep that keeps
| one awake one should feign not to
want it, and one will be surprised to
lind how quickly sleep comes. Always
take slight meal before retiring to
rest. A vast number of cases of in
somnia are caused by empty stomachs.

Will "Fool" With Strange Women.

James Lee, who claims a residence at
33 Emerald street, Boston, made prep
arations for a visit to England, and
in anticipation of his voyage drew out
of the bank $3.50. This he put in hand
bag.
With the hand bag still in his posses
sion. he wandered about town, taking
last look at old and familiar objects.
About 1890, while standing at the cor
ner of Washington street and Temple
place, a demure young woman, whom
he describes as go years old, SIT. Ain.
tall, light complexion, wearing dark
clothes and weighing 225 pounds,
passed along. She turned and looked at
him and he returned the admirng
glances.
She stopped. and he advanced to meet
her. Soon both repaired to a hostelry
on Hayward place. Here he lavishly
entertained his newlymade friend, af-
terward escorting her to a Brookline
car. He then returned to his home, and
while there something impelled him to
open his handbag.
There was still money there, but II
amounted to only $50. He rushed down
to station 4, reported his loss. and the
police are looking for the woman.
