A SILLY SAYING,

''It is common but silly opin.
ion prevailing among a GER
tain class of people that the
worse a remedy tastes, smells or
hurts, the more efficacious it is."
So says a well-known English
physician. He further adds:
"For example, let us consider
cod liver oil. AS it is extracted
from the fish this oil is SO offen-
sive to the taste and smell that
many cannot use it at all, nc
matter how badly they need it.
Yet cod liver oil is one of the
most valuable drugs in the world
and it is the greatest pity that
we have not thus far been able
to free it from those peculiari-
ties which 30 seriously interfere
with its usefulness" . This was
written years ago; the work Of
civilizing and redeeming it has
since been triumphantly accom-
.plished; and as a leading in
gredient in the remedy called
WAMPOLE'S PREPARATION
the oil retains all its wonderful
curative properties with no bad
smell or taste whatever. 1t ia
palatable as honey and contains
all the nutritive and curative
properties of Pure Cod Liver
Oil, extracted by US from fresh
cod livers, combined with the
Compound Syrup Of Hypophos-
phites and Extracts Of Malt and
Wild Cherry; creating medi-
cine of unequaled power for the
diseases most prevalent and IA
tai among men, women and chill
dren. There is no other remedy
to compare with it. 1t increa-
ses the digestive power of the
stomach and in Blood Impuri-
ties, Throat and Lung Troubles,
Nervous Dyspepsia and Scrofu-
lous Affections, it gives quick
and certain relief and cure. DIR.

Sleep Without Drugs.

Starting with the proposition that
blood flows out Of the brain when one
goes to sleep, DR. John V. Shoemaker
offers some hints to sufferers from
sleeplessness. Drugs act temporarily,
but In the end prove injurious. To
quote from recent article In the Sat
urday Evening Post:
Distractions of the mind are excellent
remedies for insomnia. 1t is often a good
idea to send a nervous patient to the
play, the opera or the Ministries. His at
tentton Is called away from himself and
peacefully to sleep Nor is the effect Of
music to be despised 1t has a tendency
to soothe irritable brain cells, and in
duce most happy results. The use OF
water outside and inside Of the body is
neglected. There Is great deal In the
old fashioned water cure, though charla-
tans once brought 1t into disrepute. The
next time you suffer from insomnia take
hot bath and swallow bowl OF water
as hot as you can drink it. The two to-
gether will make your skin act, stimulate
your circulation, lull and quiet your
nerves and draw the blood from your
brain. Hardly will you lie down before
you will find yourself falling asleep.
The magic effects Of a hot footbath
in putting a restless brain to sleep are
well known, but that remedy is not
always convenient A hot drink can
usually be had, and with no other
aid stubborn insomnia may often be
cured in children and grown persons.
Friction on the spine or at the back Of
the neck by rubbing will induce sleep,
but the simplest OF all expedients to
WOO the drowsy god are a high rest for
the head and plenty of fresh air in the
room.
