THE PARENT OF INSOMNIA. The parent of insomnia or wakefulness is in nine cases out of ton a dyspeptic stomach. Good digestion gives sound sleep, indigestion interferes with it. The brain and stomach sympathize. One of the prominent symptom« of a weak state of the gastric organs is » dis tui-bance of tho great nerve entrepot, the brain. Invigorate the stomach, and you restore oqu.- librium to the great centre. A most reliable medicine for the purpose is Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which is far preferable to mineral sedatives and powerful narcotics, which,though they may for a timo exert a soporific influence upon tho brain, soon oease to act, and invaria bly Injure the tone of the stomach.
