Another was that of all the publications OF

much elegant music,and very many books,

Previous purchases of the stocks of Hall

SLEEPLESsNESS.

II is familiar fact TO medical men
that thousands suffer from aaefui-
ness who are otherwise in good
health. With some of them this be-
comes a habit. and too often a grow
ing one. Not a few resort to sopO-
ritic drugs, and the taste for opium is
thus often initiated. Others find
alcoholic liquors occasionally effect
ual. and there can be no doubt that
IN this way. the foundation of intem-
perate indulgence in these liquors
has been laid. Many people. how
ever, have found way of going to
sleep without resortlng to such dan
oetous measures. For instance, look
ing at a fixed point steadily will
often succeed in inducing sleep; or,
if il is too dark to do this, closing the
eyes and in imagination, watching
attentively the stream of air entering
and leaving the nostrils. Another
plan has reccntiy been proposed by
DR., Braman of Carson, who tells US
that in many cases of sleeH lessness,
it is only necessary to breathe very
slowly and quietly for few minutes
to secure refreshing sleep. He thinks
that most cases depend on hyperamia
of the brain, and that in this slow
breathing, the blood supply is lessened
sufficiently to make an impression
Certainly, when the mind is uncon-
trollably active. and so prevents
sleep, persons whose observation WIS
worth trusting, have testified that the
breathing was quick and short, and
they have found they became more
disposed to sleep by breathing slowly.
In some cases this plan has failed,
but it certainly is worth any ones
while, who is occasionally sleepless,
to give it trial In doing SO, they
should breathe very quietly, rather
deeply, and at long intervals, bnt not
long enough to cause the least feeling
of uneasiness. In fine, they should
initiate a person sleeping, and do II
steadily for several minutes. In no
case should opiates or other drugs be
resorted to for sleeplessness except
under the direction of physician.
The other methods mentioned above
may be safely tried by anybody, but
if they fail, and the case becomes at
ali serious, medical advice should be
promptly taken.
