The Benefit II Laughing.

DR.. Greene, in his "'roblem of
Health" says there is not the remot-
est corner or little inlet of the mi.
mute blood vessels of the human
body that does rot feel some wave
let from the co0vulsion occasioned
by good, hearty laughter. The life.
principle, or the central man is sha-
ken to its innermost depths. sending
new tides OF life and strength to the
surface, TINS materially tending to
insure good health to the persons
who indulge therein. The blood
moves more rapidly and conveys a
different impressions to all the organs
OF the body as it visits them on that
particular mystic journey when the
man is laughing, from what it does
at other times. For this reason ev.
very good. hearty langh in which a
person indulges tends to lengthen
his life, conveying as 1t does, new
and distinct stimulus to the vital
forces. Doubtless the time will
come when ply sicians, conceding
more Importance than they do now,
10 influence the mind upon the vital
forces of the body, will make their
prescriptions more with reference to
the mind, and less in drugs for the
body; and will, in so doing, find the
best and most effective method OF
producing the required effect on the
patient.

How to Cure Sleeplessness.

Thousands suffer from wakefuness
who are otherwise 10 good health. To
some of them this becomes habit,
and too often growing one. Some
resort to soporific drugs, and this is
how the opium crave is often initiated
Others find wine or spirits occasion
ally effeetual, and are thus induced to
take alcohol every night, and not q
few, it is to be feared, have in this
way laid the foundation Of intemper-
aace. There have, however, never
been wanting people who have found
q way of going to sleep without resort
to snch measures. The mesmerists
at one time were popular, and from
them host OF people learned that
looking at any fixed point steadily
would often succeed in inducing sleep.
In the dark, however, this is not so
easy; but this difficulty was not felt
in Braidism, which consisted merely
in closing the eyes and trying to think
they were watching attentively the
stream of air entering and leaving the
nostrils. 1t was asserted that who
ever would will to see this stream, IS
| if it were visible. would infallibly
soon fall asleep. We have known the
plan succeed, and it is evidently the
same in principle as fixing the atten.
ton on any single visible object. An
other plan has just reached US, pro
posed by an American physician, Dr.
Cooke, who tells us that in numerous
cases of sleeplessness it is only neces-
sary to breathe very slowly and quiz
city for a few minutes to secure a re
freshing sleep. He thinks that most
.ases depend on hsperemia of the
brain. and that in this slow breathing
the blood supply is lessened sufii-

tainly, when the mind is unconsrolla
bly, active, and so preventing sleep.
we have ascertained from patients
whose observation was worth trust.
ing, that the breathing was quick and
short, and they have found they be-
came more disposed to sleep by
breathing slowly. This supports DR..
| Cooke practice, but at other times
his plan quite failed 1t is certainly
worth ones while who is occasionally
sleepless to give it a trial In doing
so they should breathe very quietly.
Rather deeply, and at intervals, but
not long enough to cause the least
