your troubles will be over before

In fact, the really best treat
ment for insomnia is a few con-
rincing conversations with the
patient. or let the patient talk TO
himself. He won't believe il at
first. Especially if he has gotten
into the habit Of taking one of our

AS happy as the day Is long.
The New Hypnotics
There is 10 question about the
efficacy of these new hypnotics.
The old ones we used Ia use had a
long induction period and usually
TOO long period of action. They
left the victim dopcy and were
more habit forming than the mod
crn ones. But the very fact that
the modern hypnotics have SO
many virtues is another reason
for using them with caution and
sticking to nature.
OF course, if the war worker
who has to change to daytime
sleeping has also been having in
somnia and bad nights anyway,
he must expect Il longer and some
what more intensive period of
rSych0thcrapy. But am con-

Moreover. they cannot be fired at

is SO terrific that it lights up the
