The author warmly recommends for this purpose a new remedy, novonal. This remedy is of interest already in the respect that it belongs neither to urea nor barbituric acid derivatives, as most new sleeping pills, but is an amide of acetic acid, namely, diethyl-allylacetamide. In doses of 0.5-1.0 it helps with all forms of insomnia, giving quite a deep sleep for 6-9 hours.
