THE MORNING WAKING.
Getting Up Exercises That Will Put the
Brain In Order.

Brain In Order
The difficulty most people experience
in getting MP in the morning can be
easily overcome by simple operation,
according to medical authority. Aft
er the nights long rest the brain is
laden with somewhat impure blood, and
the lymph vessels which remove waste
matter are orerfull and sluggish This
Is why we all crave another ten min.
uteS in bed and why most people are
SO morOse at breakfast. Very slowly
the brain gets rid of the matters which
Interfere with its vigorous action, but
the process can be expedited.
If the finger tips are placed against
the neck just under the ear and moved
swiftly down TO the front OF the shout
der along the course OF the jugular
vein, the used up blood IS drawn away
and room left for fresh supply. This
should be done twice ut each side of
the neck. Then the hands should be
placed on the back OF the neck Just
under the skull and moved downward
as far MS possible. This. clears out
the lymph vessels and effectually pre-
vents swollen glands, from which so
many people suffer.
After two brisk rubs of the lymph
vessels return to the jugular veins and
then back TO the glands, half dozen
or eight times. until the operation will
be found far better than cup Of cof-
fee, and whenever the brain is dull
through congestion this massage will
be equally NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..
