SLEEPLESSNESS^ REPLY. \lam a farmer, thirty-eight years old, of good habits, but terribly tormented with insomnia. I have been so for over a year, often not sleeping a wink during the night. My nerves are greatly unsettled and my feelings are frightful. Otherwise my health is perfect. Did you ever hear of a oase like Will it wear away ?\— Letter to the Editor of tha Companion.. r.—Your case ia not by any means exceptional. It may be cured, but the is not likely to wear away without treatment, and especially without the removal of the cause. Obstinate sleeplessness is supposed to be caused by a dilated condition of the blood- vessels of the brain. Bleep is possible only when much leu blood enters the brain than is essential during our waking hours. The arteries enlarge or contract as their proper nerves send to them the necessary force, just aa do all the musoles. Whatever, therefore, exhausts the nervous system, may weaken the nervous centres whioh con- trol the arteries of the brain. The nervous system may be thus exhasut- ed by an abuse of stimulant*—tea, coffee, spirits, opiates, etc.;—by sexual excess, by mental strain, from too continuous studv, from too unremitting labor, from prolonged care and anxiety, and from high emotional excitement. Whatever the cause, ihe first requisite ie to get rid of it. Insomnia characterizes fevers and some other diaeaaea, and old age. But your gjen- eral health ia good with tbo exception | of extreme nervousness. The inference j is, therefore, that your sleeplessness is ctrcjsed by nervous exhaustion. But whatever the cause, you need j troatmont from a first-class physician. | Such a one will doubtless prescribe the j bromides, or arsenious acid, with, perhaps, galvanic electricity; and having watched the effect for a month or so, will tone up your system with the stronger tonics.
