LONGING FOR MORNING.

A Talk To The Sufferer From Insomnia.

as you

With what satisfaction you have retired after a particularly fatigu ing day! "A good night's rest and I shall be as fresh as a daisy in the morning," you say to yourself. But sleep refuses to come. The hours seem interminable toss and turn longing for slumber, brain works as if on and your wheels, puzzling out problems, magnifying troubles, giving you no rest or peace. May be more than once in the night you rise in des-j pair and look at the clock, longing for daylight to appear.

What is the cause of these at- tacks of insomnia? The answer Is to be found by studying for a brief while the condition of your goneral health. You have felt tir- ed and dispirited during the day, work has been a trouble, people have seemed vexatious, you have not found enjoyment either in food or recreation. The fact thus be- comes obvious that, because of overwork, worry, need of a rest and change, or some other reason you have drained almost to the limit your reserve of nervous energy.

And how can further attacks of this insomnia be avoided? The

answer to this is, by building up tonic treatment, for which purpose nothing can be better than Dr. Williams' Pink Pills.
