tagging, and that everything tires her,
dark shadows appear under her eyes
her sleep is disturbed by horrible
dreams if she has backache, head
aches, bearing-down pains, nervous

her system up at once by tonic with
specific powers, such as Lydia Il. Pink

AN oyER-TIRED BRAIN.

There are FIVE important things 10
remember in connection With an en-
deaVOr to rest an oYer-tired brain: !. a
healthy indifference to wakefulness. ..
Concentration Of the mind on simple
things. g. Relaxation Of the body e.
Gentle. rhythmic breathing OF fresh
air. 8. Regular nourishment II we
90 net lose courage, but keep on stead
lily night after night, with a healthy
persistence IN remembering and prac-
ticing these five things, we shall often
ind that what might have been a very
long period Of sleeplessness may be
mater ally shortened, and that the
sleep which follows the practice Of the
exercise is better. sounder, and more
refreshing than the sleep that came
before. In many cases a long or short
period Of insomnia can be absolutely
prevented by just these simple means.

fortables are desirable, because they
are so light, and at the same time so
warm. There are not many things more

warm. Another small blanket TO lay
against the back viii be appreciated
No food or drinks should be allowed
10 remain in the sick room. They
should be kept in an adjoining room or
on the outside of a window, carefully
