Chronic Insomnia
And Indigestion
The One Is Almost Always Associated
With and Caused by the Other.


Sleep has been fittingly called tired
natures sweet restorer." 1t Is condf-
tion in which the involuntary functions
such as nutrition, circulation. respira-
ton. ETC., go on as usual. while the
voluntary powers are in repose, and the
system undergoes needed repairs. No
one has ever been known to live longer
than three weeks without sleep. 1t is as
necessary in physical economy as food
and drink
Insomnia or chronic sleeplessness is a
svn,ntom with which nearly every suf-
ferer from dyspepsia is annoyed, either
constantly or at frequent and irregular
intervals. This inability to sleep normal
~ is a very prominent manifestation Of
indigestion, and exhibits itself In differ
emf forms. In some cases sleep may
come at its accustomed time, but 1t does
not bring repose. and the person awakens
entirely too soon, and is unable to fall
asleen again. In others, the victim lies
pwaJxe practically all night, tossing and
rolling. and finally drops into troubled
and unrestful slumber at daybreak. Still
others though they may apparently sleep
eoundIy, are annoyed with the incubus
Of nightmare, with its horrors OF over
whelming waves, falls from precipitous
baiphts and attacks by Infatuated and
implacable monsters
All of these distressing symptoms are
traceable to an irritated and enfeeDaed
stomach. and the same is true OF grind
ing the teeth, and twitching and jerk
ing of the muscles during sleep
Insomnia is rarely a disease by ITSELF
hut is nearly always symptom OF an
other disease, such as dyspepsia, and In
treating this complaint many persons In
thair efforts to woo the god of Sleep
resort to the use of such hypnotics, Sc
datives, soporifcs and narcotis as the
bromides, choloral hydrate, Dover pow
ders and even morphia.
M greater mistake than this could well
he made, and the reckless use of such
drugs has caused many sudden death.
while in other cases, even moderate use
has set I'D an incurable drug-using habit
among those who resorted to the use
of sleeping powders
To cure insomnia or sleeplessness the
ohiect should be to remove the cause.
