TREATING INSOMNIA
Advice to the Victims of i Distressing
Disease.
AN AFFLICTION THAT IS WIDESPREAD
la Thin Hua ling Country—Howto Won the
‘•Sleep That Knits Up the Raveled
a eev of Care
Instunuia is a widespread American
disease It afflicts the best brains of this
country—lawyers, teachers and other
professionals and especially men of
affairs whose minds are overtaxed with
a multitude Os harassing, iucessant'busi
ness details. It is caused by an undue
distension of the arteries supplying the
red blood to the brain, resulting in un
relieved pressure on the nerve cells of
the gray matter, eventuating in pro
longed wakefuluess during the night,
at a time when they should be allowed
to remain quiescent and recuperate the
tissue wasted during tlhe active hours
of the day. Shakespeare poetically says,
’Tis sleep knits up the raveled sleeve
■of care. ” This is also true scientifically
and physiologically. It is capable of
being expanded into a whole treatise.
With the Jightniuglike glance of genius
he saw into the very structure of nerve
tissue, the cause cff its wear and tear
and the remedy.
Dr. Samuel Johnson in his ponderous
dictionary defined a “net” to be “an
interwoven decussated tissue of mesh
es. ’* Each cell in the brain has .this
character. Magnified several hundred
diameters it would resemble the net
work covering a small balloon. In the
morning, after a refreshing night’s rest,
each cell is expanded, alert with life,
and has the faint pink glow of health.
At evening, after a long day’s work
ever some exhausting mental occupa
tion, this cell is flaccid and collapsed, a
portion of its substance gone, and it is
unfit for further immediate work.
A night's natural sleep repairs the
waste, the life giving blood in gentle,
. Tegular pulsations flows by and the
proper element is taken out of each
globule and incorporated into the struc
ture of the nerve cell, so that on awak
ening it is again restored, alert and
ready to receive aud send out messages
and do its proper work. Sleep has knit
together again the meshes raveled out
by care. The action of 1,000,000 of
these cells packed together in the brain,
like Leyden jars in a battery, is analo
gous to electricity, but not at all identi
cal with it.
One has sometimes in the country
noticed a lone forest lightning struck
tree slowly decaying as the seasons roll
by in the alternations of rain aud frost
and wind. First the small twigs become
brittle, break off and fall, then larger
branches and limbs and finally the many
thousand subdivisions are reduced to
about three large stumps supported by
the blasted trunk with the rotten bark
clinging to it. As age creeps slowly on
the animal body the small ramifications
of .blood vessels in the face, for instance,
wither and die and then larger vessels,
leaving pits called “wrinkles. ” The
same thing happens in the interior of
the brain, but this is invisible on the sur
face. Instead of many fine subdivisions
of arteries reaching every part of the
structure aud thus irrigating it with
the red life giviug fluid these dry up,
are absorbed and larger ones and fewer
in number result. Into these the blood
has a tendency to pour at night during
sleep, on slight provocation resulting
in undue distension aud engorgement,
aud consequent wakefulness, thus pro
ducing the well known disease “insom
nia, ” which, if prolonged, results in
brain wreck and insanity.
Let the sufferer look to the health of
his whole body by outdoor exercise,
open air and regular diet, ameud and
correct the general health or use tonic
baths at the proper time of the day be
fore retiring or on rising. Taking a
Blight repast before going to bed so as
to draw a surplus of blood from the
brain and elevating the head on pillows
so as to allow gravitation to assist in
draining the blood from the braiu are
good.
Periodicity is of great assistance. Go
ing to bed at exactly the same hour
every night, the firm and strong belief
in the fact that you will sleep at that
hour, the diversion of the mind just be
fore retiring by some light reading,
amusement, work or exercise will help.
Refuse, if possible, to discuss or dwell
upon mournful, irritating or unfortu
nate personal topics or afflictions. Should
the sufferer suddenly awake in the night
before the allotted hours for repose have
passed, his best plan is not to lie awake
in. bed in the dark staring vacantly

The oversensitive mind conjures many
gloomy thoughts at this time in the
deep, still darkness of the night, when
all outside day sounds aud noises have
ceased their distraction. These cases
cau be successfully treated at home,
and not by drugs Have a night table
haudy, light a caudle, arise, throw off
and air the bed clothes, sit up, with a
convenient wrapper around you, in an
easy chair, having first thrown open a
door or window to completely change
the vitiated air of the room Os course
one must have a chamber to himself to
do this. All the conditions external be
ing changed will tend to produce a
change of those internal of the body
the brain and the wer.ves After a suit,
able interval one can again close the
doors and windows, replace covers aud
retire to approaching slumber
This was the method of Benjamin
Franklin, who hadalarge, active braiu,
filled with multitudinous private aud
public affairs, during a long aud active
life, and he found it to succeed (See his
autobiography.) Different remedies will
suit different constitutions The same
will not do for all alike Each person
must study his own case, the moral and
physical causes, remove these and find
out what will best soothe his exhausted
nerves and induce peaceful repose:
