Wnn6ars Of slean-

In Turkey, if man fall asleep
in the neighborhood of poppy
field, and the wind blows toward
him, he becomes narcOtized and
would die if the country people,
who are well acquainted with the
circumstances, did not bring him
to the next we'll or stream and
empty pitcher after pitcher of wa
ter on his face and body. DR..
Appenhenim, during his residence
in Turkey, owed his life to this
simple and eficacious treatment.
DIR. Ceaves, from whom this an
ecdote is quoted, also reports the
case of a gentleman, thirty years
of age, who from long continued
sleepiness, was reduced to a COM
plete living skeleton, unable to
stand on his legs. 1t was partly
owing to disease, but chiefly to
abuse of opium, until at last un-
able to pursue his business, he
sunk into abject poverty and woe.
DIR. Reid mentions a friend of his
who, whenever anything occur
red to distress him, soon became
drowsy and fell asleep. A stu
dent, at Edinburgh, upon hearing
suddenly of the unexpected death
of near relative, threw himself
upon his bed, and almost instan-
taneously, amid the glare of noon
day, sunk into a profound slum-
Der. Another person, reading to
one of his dearest friends stretch
ed on his death bed, fell asleep,
and with the book still in his hand
went on reading, utterly uncOn-
scious of what he was doing. A
woman at Hamadt slept seven
teen hours a day for fifteen years.
Another is recorded to have slept
once four days. Doctor Nlacnish
mentins a woman who spent
three-fourths of her life in sleep,
and DIR. Elliotson quotes acase of
a young lady who slept six weeks
and recovered. The venerable
St Augustine, Of Hippo, prudent
ly divided his hours into three
parts-eight devoted to sleep,
eight to meditation, and eight to
converse with the world. Mani
acs are reported, particularly in
the eastern hemisphere, to be
come furiously yigilant, and dur
ing the full of the moon, more
especially when the deteriOrized
rays of its polarized light are per-
mitted to fall into their apart
ments; hence the name of luna
tics. There certainly is greater
proneness to disease during sleep
than in the waking state, for
those who pass the night in the
Champagne di Roma inevitably
become infected with its noxious
air, while travellers who go thro'
without stopping escape the mi
asma. Intense cold produces
sleep, and those who perish in
the snow sleep on till the sleep
of death.
