CHARLES WILSON, Sccreta v.
Dodgeville chronicle. [volume] (Dodgeville, Wis.) 1862-current, 1864-04-14
A new Idea.

Mr.. Catlin, who is widely known for
his researches among the Indians, and
for his drawings of their habits, &C.,
had his attention called to the fact that
death rarely occurs among the Indians
in childhood, in some tribes such thing
being almost wholly unknown, while
among the white race the mortality of
children is absolutely frightful Mr..
Catlin breaches the theory that the diff
ference is owing to the fact that Indian
children are never allowed to sleep with
their mouths open. The Indian mother
early learns her offspring 10 sleep with
their mouth closed, by gently pressing
the lips together, and the habit is soon
formed. He says, by sleeping with the
mouth open, passage is made directly
to the lungs, and various diseases are
thus bred. A mass of fact and philoso-
ply is cited in support of the theory.
