Happily for the viotas of Insomnis, science comes with a certain care for its triarios. This is sohieved by means of Saustogen, the world renowned Louie food with lasting sffacts.

Sanstogon feeds the norvos, and they brings them to their normal state by supplying the vital element of phosphorus, which is used up in the display of wory form of mental or physical energy.

HOW INSOMNIA IS CAUSED.

Experience shows that in the period preceding the attack of sleeplessness, the individual has, invariably, boon making overdrafts on the supply of phosphorus in his bly, which, in consequence of its diminished strength, is unable to make I this low from the food which is ordinarily good t taken.

Phosphorus exorcises an important sway over the life of the sells of which every portion of our body is made, and over the living chemical on within them, as Professor processes which Fanticliffe, of King's College, London, less pointed out. Moreover, as Sir William Gowers maintains, phosphoras notably increases the proportion of the red blood corpuscles in the blood. It can, therefore, be easily understood that when there is a inck of this vital element, there is manifest diminution in the perforan
