Don't Sleep Well
No Good Reason
Just Can't Sleep

Some people can't sleep. There
seems to be no special reason They
AVE no disease OF the nervous sys-
TEN. Digestion Is fairly good. Their
habits are pretty good. They may
smoke a little or drink a little. yet
their habits are fair. Still they can't
sleep well.
Just a little unbalanced In the nerve
centers. That Is all. They should
have a little "righting up"
A tonic will generally do this. The
right sort OF a tonic. Peruna is x
actly the tonic. Digestion Is hurried
by Peruna. The stomach Is empty
and ready to rest for the night. The
circulation IL equalized. The brain
is relieved Of all COMPOSITIONS and irri-
~tations.
The Peruna acts on every blood
vessel In the system. 1t acts on all
of the nerve centers. One begins TO
sleep and hardly knows why.
Take a teaspoonful to n tables
spoonful OF Peruna before each meal.
Sometimes another tablespoonful at
bedtime Is necessary, where the sleep
~lessness is very pronounced.
Just try It, neighbor. You will b.
Rlad II you do. One bottle will con.
vince you. Peruna il no sleep medi-
cine. 1t is not a nervine. It contains
no narcotics. 1t IL nothing Of thai
sort. It is simply a regulative tonic.

.o..,.sss or MODERN TALK.

sore point with novelists who
AVE any regard for style Is the style

acid Republican. The public seems to
