WOMEN MUST SLEEP.
Avoid Nervous Prostitution

If you are dangerously sick what Is
the first duty of your physicianP He
quiets the nervous system, he deadens
the pain, and you sleep well.
Friends ask, "what is the cause ?"
and the answer comes in plying
tones, nervous prostration. 1t came
upon you SO quietly in the beginning,
that you were not alarmed, and when
sleep deserted you night after night
until your eyes fairly burned in the
darkness, then you tossed in nervous
agony pr ying for sleep.
