WOMEN MUST SLEEP.
Avoid Nervous Prostration.
If you are dangerously sick what ia
the first duty of your physician? He
quiets the nervous system, he deadens
the pain, and you sleep well.
Friends ask, ‘‘ what is the cause ?"
and the answer comes in pitying
tones, nervous prostration. It came
upon you 80 quietly in the beginning,
that you were not alarmed, and when
sleep deserted you night after night
until your eyes fairly burned in the
darkness, then you tossed in nervous
gony praying for sleep.
Mus. A. HARTLEY,
You ought to have known that
when vou ceased to be regular in your
sourses, and you grew irritable with-
jut cause, that there was serious
trouble somewhere.
You ought to know that indigestion,
exhaustion, womb displacements,
fainting, dizziness, headache, and
backache send the nerves wild with
affright, and you cannot sleep.
