be gained in order to secure sleep is escape
from thought, especially from that clinging,
tenacious, imperious though. which in most
cases Of wakefulness has possession of the
mind. always effect this by the following
simple process: " turn my eyebals rs far
to the right or left, or upwards or down
wards, as can without pain, and then com
mence rolling them slowly, with that divors
ence from direct line Of vision around in
their sockets, and continue doing this until
| fall asleep, which occurs generally within
three tnnutcs-slways within five st the
most. The immediate effect Of this proce

Such being it's Effects, we cannot wonder
that it should bring sleep to a nervous and
wakeful man at night. The philosophy Of
the matter is very simple a suspension Of
thought is 10 the mind what supension OF
travel or labor is to weary body. II enjoys
the luxury Of rest the strain upon its fac
mites is removed; it falls asleep as naturally
as the farmer in his chair after toing all day
in his fields.
