By 81. Jong SIYCLATI4
(Frans Reeee's Monthly Gazette.)
Persons with slender frames, but brilliant talents
ought to pay peculiar attention to their health ; for
where ' the body' is inferior in strength to the
snirit; without the greatest precautions, the
sword' will destroy the scabbard.'
I would strongly recommend, therefore, to per-
sons of that description, the taking of a siesta
for about an hour, or even half an hour, either be-
fore or after dinner. The outer garments merely
shou.'d be taken off, and the inner loosened. The
invalid should lie down on the top of his bed, with
only a coverlet over him. The shutters should be
closed, for it is necessary that he should be freed
as muc!, as possible from all personal as well as
mental excitement. It is astonishing Low much
both the mind and the body aro refreshed by these
means, and 4ow much business can be gone
through, after such a siesta, without fatigue.
To complete the advantages of a siesta, it should
be accompanied with percussion, which promotes
the circulation of the blood, and above all, of the
!lemons power. Anxiety and mental fatigue are
apt to accumulate that power in parts of the hod) ,
but unless it is dispersed over the whole frame, nu
int:iv:dual can feel either happy, or even com-
fortable.
The dowagers, who take the charge of those
young belles who attend Almack's and other late
evening parties, frequently take a siesta in the
evenng, without which they would not be able to
[ro through the laborious and exhausting duties to
hich they aro liable in the capacity of chape-
rons.
To this aiticle Sir John adds the following re-
marks on the siesta by Dr. Hancock.
The advantage of the siesta appears to be little'
unde.stood io England. The late Duke of York,
I have been tilt:. nas accustomed to repose in his
arm-chair after dinner for six or eight minutes
on:y. So short a relaxation could have been of
little use in promoting the restoration of sensorial
powei, especially in a chair, or half-recumbent po-
sition.

Numerous, no doubt, are the victims to insanity
and mental derangement, from an ignorance of the
advantages of a siesta. On this point, continues
the Doctor, I beg leave briefly to notice what oc-
curred to myself, a few years ago, in South Ame-
ric When I was about forty-four years of age, I
found, as the heat of the day advanced, a dizziness
and aberration of thought creeping upon uie,
which, after many months, so augmented, that I felt
a strong presentiment of approaching insanity.—
It occurred to me to try the siesta, to which, in
the Orinoque (amongst the Spaniards) I had some
years previously been accustomed. When I felt
this (indescribable) sensation approaching, I took
to my bed, sofa, or hammock, and reposed for about
an hour; I had the satisfaction to find myself com-
pletely relieved from the uncomfortable annoyance,
or mental derangement, as I might call it. At
this time, I find it necessary occasionally to resort
to it, either before or after dinner, as my sensations
point out. I have had occasion to recommend it
to others, and with like success.
Some persons, not accustcmed to it, find the
siesta, after a full meal. to interrupt digestion. In
that case, repose should be taken before dinner.
A great diversity of opinion (says Dr. Reece)
exists among the most eminent members of the
profession, as to the propriety of taking a nap
(siesta) immediately before or after dinner. The
late Mr. Abernethy, who paid particular attention
to the dietetic part of medicine, recommended it,
particularly when there was a great propensity to
it ; and his chief argument in its favour was, that
most brutes, after a full meal, generally sleep or
dose for a short time. Mr. A. being always more
or less drowsy, according to the convivality, or
rather, the degree of intelligence of his company,
after the dinner meal, indulged in a short nap, and
being a great advocate for following instinct in
matters of diet, he generally, in imitation of the
brute creation, placed himself, after taking his
usual quantity of wine, in an horizontal position,
on his stomach, and in this state he napped (ors a
rug) for a few minutes. The studious, or those
aho fatigue their minds in teLious or profound
calculations, as well as those A. ho fatigue their
bodies, arc particularly disposed to take a nap after
dinner ; and we have heard many say, especially
those who have actively employed their minds in
scientific investigations, that they have been more
refreshed by a nap for few minutes after dinner,
than by bleeping soundly for six or eight hours.

PANORAMA OF THE BRITISH

E3IPIRE.

The STAR has for several months exhibited such a pie.
Lute of the amebae Events of the Empire, as never
before was attempted. L gtati6es unspeakably the natives

of districts who reside in London and distant counties, and
is a LETTER FROM Homo to every provincial in foreign
countries, or in the colonies. It raises also into general
importance the exertions of local talents in every public
Cause. Then as this is a duty performed alone by the STAR
those local patriots would ill desetve tbeir name, if the STAR
and its iutcrests were not reciprocally promoted by them in
every disttict. ll'e know it has been so in many places, and
the STAR h principles, and in all the beat qualities of a
paper, has justified preference ; but we reasonably expect
the seine attentions EVERT wnEaE, as the means of at
°ate rccompensin,; our diligence, and adding to the thility of
our valuable and exclusive information. We call also on the
Provsncial Proprietors of P 0112317, whose local labours we
thus illustrate, and invite with earnestness their powerful
attentions in promoslng those interests of the Paper which
they best understand. We notoriously excel all London
Papers in priority of Foreign News, and our display of the
transactions of the country is equally exclusive and pre-
end,lent.

DUBLIN FREEIII.4\i JOURAAL, Aupus! 1.
There will be found in alother part of our joutnal a -e-
