Remedy for sIeepIessness.

A physician. writing to a medical
journal, declares that he finds pep
permint water an efficient remedy for
sleeplessness. This is a very SIM
pie cure, and it will not bring forth
from the organs Of professional
opinion any declaration of unsafeness.
1t is added that a mixture of spirits of
chloroform and peppermint water
given in hot water to the victim Of
insomnia will produce sleep, but
perhaps in the case of the admixture
of chloroform water may claim a de-
cided share in relieving the trouble.
1t is as least easy to try peppermint
