Il is curious fact. but by no means
astonishing, that until OF late days a
satisfactory explanation OF sleep and
its causation was hardly to be met with
within the bounds OF physiological
science. Anaemia Of the brain was re-
garded as the origin Of our slumbers.
but IL became clear that this bloodless-
ness was to be regarded rather az a
result OF some other and more primary
process than as itself a true or direct
cause OF sleep. The theory has been
revived that sleep Is due to the liberia
tion into the blood Of certain sub
stances which are manufactured by
certain glands-these are not defined.
by the way-with the result that our
brain cells are sent dozing. Alongside
this view may be placed that other
which supposed that a greater amount
Of carbonic acid gas being produced as
the result Of bodily work-or a want Of
elimination Of this product being rep
resented-we went 20 sleep because our
brain cells were thus numbed BY the
gas. think these poisoning sleep
