1t Consists of New Principle of Think
ing.
From, the London Spectator


From the London Spectator
The terrible evil of insomnia has so many
different sources, that the utmost we can
hope from any single artifice is to afford re.
lief from it under one special form. / VEN
ture to think have hit upon plan which
thus remedies very common mot an ag-
gravateC) kind of sleeplessness; and, with
your permission, will endeavor to make
your readers who may be fellow-sutferers
sharers in my discovery.
1t is now, | believe, generally accepted
that our conscious, daylight, thinking pro
cesses are carried on in the sinister half of
our brains-i. e., in the lobe which controls
the action of the right arm and leg
Pondering on the use of the dexter half of
the brain-possibly in all unconscious core
bration, and in whatsoever may be genuine
of the mysteries Of planchette and spirit
rapping-1 came to the conclusion shared,
no doubt, by many other better qualifiei
inquirers) that we dream with this lone,
and that the fantastic, immoral, splritlike
character of dreams Is, in some way, trace
able to that fact. The practical inference
then struck me to bring back sleep
when lost, we must quiet the conscious,
thinking, sinister side of our brains, and
bring into activity only the dream side, the
dexter lobe. To do this, the only plan |

and pleasant ones, and every effort of day

latter having been my not wholly unsuc-
cessful practice for many years. Instead
of all this. saw / must think of dream,
the more recent the be ter, and go over and
over the scene it presented.
Armed with this idea, the next time |

in the morning, instead of merely trying
to banisn painful thoughts and repeating,
as was my habit, that recomme ldable

had awakened, and tried to go on with it.

time the experiment, often repeated, has
scarcely ever failed. Not seldom the result
is sudden as the fall of curtain, and seems
like charm. A friend to whom | have
confided my little discovery. tells me that,
without any preliminary theorizlng about
the lObes of the brain, she had hit upon the
same plan to produce sleep, and had found
it etficacious

ness and of the drug-tallng to which its VIC
