WHEN YOU CAN'T SLEEP

Amongst sufferers from insomnia there are many who complain to their doctors that when they are about their work or sitting still, they can hardly resist the tendency to go to sleep, but the moment they lay their heads upon the pillow sleep deserts them. This condition is usually met with in anaemic, debilitated people. An eminent practitioner explains the cause of this. The vessels of the brain having lost their tone, cannot contract and regulate the flow of blood through the brain. When one in this--.condition is in an upright position, the upper parts of the body, and more particularly the brain, owing to the laxity of the vessels are drained of blood. But when the patient lies down the reverse is the case, and the blood flows too freely through the brain and the imagination is excited. In such cases It is necessary to restore tone by the use of tonics, and it is advisable for anyone who is debilitated and run down to take a course of Dr Williams’ Pink Pills. They increase the blood supply and impart tone to the whole system. Sleep becomes sounder and more refreshing, your worries become less, and your work lighter. The whole action of these pills is to assist nature to restore the body to normal activity. They do not contain any narcotic. Your nearest dealer can supply you with Dr Williams’ Pink Pills at the price they have always been sold at 3/- a box, 6 boxes 16/6.
