THE SLEEPING SICKNESS
 WHICH MEANS DEATH

How many readers have heard of this terrible disease? II prevails in that far-away country-Africa- cIally the Congo district. It is caused by the bite of the tsetse fly. When 1t bites a person, the sleeping symptoms begin and finally the sufferer sleeps until death occurs
 Contrast this with the peaceful, halmy sleep of health. Is there any thing more wearing than to He awake at night, tossing about, nervous, with cold feet, hot head and mercy knows what else? Short of letting the tsetse fly bite us we would do almost any thing for relief How can we pre- vent it2 Mir. George Hayes, of Union City, Pa, writes; "I had lost my appetite, was all rundown, could not sleep nights had tried every thing without relief Nlnol was rec commended and to my surprise, It helped me at once; gave mo a splen- did appetite, and now l sleep sound ly."
 What Niuol did for Mr. Hayes, 1t will do for every rundown, nervous and overworked person who cannot sleep.
