SLEEPLESSNESS CORRECTED
BY INTERNAL BATHS.

Mr.. J. B. Barrows writes DR.. Chas
a. Tyrrell, of New York, as follows.
L am stull usnig the j. B. L. Cas-
cade' once a week, and find it most
efficient for keeping me in fine con
dition. 1t acts as sedative for tired
nerves and has been great help for
sleeplessness. 1 have frequeltly
arisen from the bed and used it in the
middle of the Light with satisfactory
results"
The reason for this remarkable re
suit is because the functions cannot
work properly when there is accumu
lation of waste in the lower intestine.
The y. B. l.. Cascade" by the
simple process of properly applying
warm water. eliminates all this waste
and causes the functions to work
smoothly and properly.
Over half million intelligent Am
orleans are now using the Cascade
with similar results.
It is the invention of Chas A Tyr
relL NJ D., of New York. a noted
specialist on internal bathing.
It will be shown and explained to
you by Hooks Pharmacy, Americas,
