HealthStOlen
During Sleep
How Sleep Thieves Steal
Away Health and Vitality
WHY PROPER
SPINE SUPPORT rs
MOST ESSENTIAL

Are you paying the penalty OF
poor bedspring? Are you thought
1essly adding night strain to day
drain? Are you menacing your life
by unconsciously starving your
nerves? These are serious ques-
tions--for, though sleep may seem
30 commonplace as to be almost auto
matte, it holds a very deep and
serious meaning.
The fact is that sleep is natures
method of putting back into the body
at night the energy that is expended
during the day. 1t is virtually
sIayup" period for the body during
which time the worn and used-up
cells are rebuilt, repaired and re-
vitaliZed.
Not to give proper care and atten-
tion to sleep and not to give the
nerves the utmost rest. recuperation,
and nourishment--is to invite bodily
disaster.
1t is quite easy to accomplish this
evil unconsciously during sleep -
for a sagging bedspring-one that
puts undue strain on the spine-that
temporarily throws the vertebrae out
of alignment-or otherwise strains
or fails to permit proper nourish-
ment to the spinal cord (the great
nerve of the body. or any other set
of nerves, may very readily be the
cause. Nor is this result immediate.
1t comes gradually and therein lies
its treachery. 1t may express itself
in numerous little aches and pains.
1t may reflect itself in slight attacks
of indigestion or hundred different
little ways. But it is the constant
and continual drain that eventually
adds up big and has no excuse for
being, when the remedy is so often
q very simple matter.
Above everything else. it pays to
purchase a good bedspring-a bed
spring that will properly support the
spine-a bedspring without sag
that permits an easy. restful recum-
bent position and gives to the nerves
the full value and quantity of nour-
ishment and rest that efficiency de-
mands, health requires and nature is
willing to bestow.
