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


Sleep has been fttingly called tired
natures sweet restorer." 1t is a con-
dition in which the involuntary func-
tionS such as nutrition, circulation,
respiration, ETC., go on as usual, while
the voluntary powers are in repoSe,
and the system undergoes needed re-
pairs. No one has ever been known
to live longer than three weeks with
out sleep. 1t is as necessary in ply
steal economy as food and drink.
Insomnia or chronic sleeplessness,
is a symptom with which nearly every
sufferer from dyspepsia is annoyed,
either constantly or at frequent and
irregular intervals. This inability to
sleep normally is very prominent
manifestation of indigestion, and ex-
hibits itself in different forms. In
some cases sleep may come at it's ac-
customed time, but it does not bring
repose, and the person awakens en-
tirely too soon, and is unable to fall
asleep again. In others, the victim lies
awake practically all night, tossing
and rolling. and finally drops into a
troubled and unrestful slumber at
daybreak. Still others, though they
may apparently sleep soundly, are an
noyed with the incubus, or nightmare,
with it's horrors of overwhelming
waves, falls from precipitious heights
cable monsters.
All of these distressing symptoms
are traceable to an irritated and en-
feebled stomach, and the same is true
of grinding the teeth, and twitching
and jerking of the muscles during
sleep.
Insomnia is rarely a disease by it
self, but is nearly always a symptom
of another disease, such as dyspepsia,
and in treating this complaint, many
persons in their efforts to woo the
god of Sleep resort to the use of
such hypnotics, sedatives, soporif1cs
and narcotics as the bromides, choral
hydrate. Dover powders and even
morphia.
No greater mistake than this could
well be made, and the reckless use of
such drugs has caused many a sud
den death, while in other cases, even
moderate use, has set up an incurable
drug-using habit among those who
resorted to the use of sleeping DOW
ders."
To cure insomnia or sleeplessness
the object should be to remove the
cause, and as dyspepsia IS the under
lying cause in a large percentage of
cases, no better or safer remedy can
be employed than STUARTS DYS-
PERSIA TABLETS. By digesting ev-
cry particle of food in the stomach,
the active and exciting cause of in
somnia is cut short at its source and
removed.
These tablets contain only whole
some ingredients, and there is no dam
ger of falling into drug-using habits
from their use. Every sufferer from
insomnia should avoid the egregious
error of using hypnotic drugs, as they
never cure the trouble, but only make
matters worse in the end.
