In persons of vigorous constitution the
habit of dlsregarding proper sleep, and the
insomnia which springs from it, may go on
for several years without any apparent
bad effect. In time, however, it is certain
to produce its natural consequences. The
first indications of danger are irritability
of mind and feverish excitement, followed
by depression, pallOr, and deficiency of ap-
petite. These are succeeded by fits of un-
consciousness, in which the affected per
son positively sleeps, and, it may be, sleeps
soundly, without himself knowing the
fact In his way he gets rest, which, for
a little while may give certain measure Of
relief; but soon the nervous failure in
creases, and one of two results succeeds.
He either falls into sleep which becomes
a coma, and terminates In death, or he
continues sleepless, unless artiticially
made TO sleep by narcotics, and with pro-
crossing failing powers sinks into paralysis,
to succumb from that affection. In ex.
