It was the face principally that "was affected and latterly I scarcely dared show myself out; of doors it' there was the least rawness in the air. I tried two or three doctors, also a chemist who was supposed to be an expert on eczema., but they did not seem to cure me permanently. Also the same box of Cuticura Ointment cured a pretty bad ease of ringworm on a girl's arm that I persuaded her to allow m 9 to dress with it. G. L.

DEGREES OF SLEEP. I can well understand the exact state of matters to which my correspondent alludes when he speaks of "a disturbed night's rest." It so hap- ■ pens that scientifically wo are able to distinguish between different degrees or grades of sleep—that is in respect of the depth of the sleeping process. The mo&t perfect sleep is undoubtedly that in which there is entire insensibility to all outward things, where, to use a common expression, the sleeper is practically' for the time being dead to the world und all its affairs. When Shaksperespeaks of sloop as "tho ape of death," and when another poot has denominated sleep " Death's twin brother," wo can readily understand tho justness of the comparison, seeing that to all intents and purposes active life and all its concerns are, during the period of perfect repose, practically abolished. On the other, hand, a higher degree of sleep, represents one in which the brain is liable to be more or lesg affected by outside influences, ouch as noises and the like. ■•• Also, there seems to be a. state which we call one of "half sleep," ill which, owing to some irritability on the part of the brain itself, the sleeper is kept as ib were in a condition that ranges between halfwakefulness and sound sleep. I take it that it is this last condition, when the sleep has not proceeded deep enough, so to speak, that my correspondent indicates when he talks of a disturbed night's rest. Snatches of sleep com© to tho person in this state, giving him for a while a taste of what sleep should be, and sooner or later a wave of half-wakefulness shoots over the surface of the brain, rousing up his faculties into a state, not exactly of the attention proper to waking; life, but of sufficient degree to disturb his rest. In such a case the sleeper is not exactly conscious of being awake, but there is at the same time a very dim kind of realisation that he is not asleep, and that very little would be required to send him into a wakeful state. SOME CAUSES. If science thus teaches us that there are varying depths of sleep, it remains for us to see if science can afford us some idea of the causes to which this annoying half-wakefulness is due. In the forefront of such causes I should be inclined to place over-work and worry. Just as the appetite refuses to enjoy food when we have starved too long, so the brain cells appear to acquire a certain amount of unnatural irritability when we have tried _them and their temper too far. A tired man can no mora sleep perfectly, than an overhungry man can eat to his satisfaction. Tbo first hint, therefore, that one may gain fiom this consideration is that it is tiseless to expect sound sleep when the brain cells are overworked, either through actual participation in the labours of the day, or when a man experiences the truth of the saying that it is worry that kills, and not vork. Again, unwise habits on the part of many of us are responsible for many cases of disSMMAFTER WASHING WO& m a little SYDAL WILTON'S HANS EMOLLIENT.
