Some of the Curious Things Done by
SlespwRlkers.
Many years ago an archbishop Of
Bordeaux attested the case of a young
ecclesiastic who was in the habit Of
getting up during the night In a state
of somnambulism and, taking pen,
Ink and paper, composing and writ
ing his sermons. When he finished one
page he would read and correct it. In
order TO ascertain whether the SOM
namhulist made use of his eyes the
archbishop held a piece of pasteboard
under his chin to prevent his seeing
the paper upon which he was writing,
but he continued to write on without
being in the least Inconvenience.
1t Is related of Negretti, a sleepwalk-
er, that he would sometimes carry a
lighted candle, as II 10 give him light
In his employment. but on a bottle
being substituted he took it and carried

ference.
Another sOmnambulist would dress
in his sleep and go TO the cellar. where
ii was pitch dark. and draw wine from
the cask without walking into anything
and without splitting a drop OF the
wine. but II he happened to awake in
the cellar he had great difficulty in

Bloodlettng or "vcnesection." as ii
is known scientifically. was once the
common re1rady for nearly every form
Of ailment. Washington died Of it, il
the opinion of modern medical authori-
ties, and soon after his time there was
a reaction against venesection. Better
medicinal agents accomplished what
ever benefits were attributed to this he
roic treatment, and better knowledge
Of physiology condemned the practice.
Nenesection. however, is still eu-
ployed in certain emergencies by the
most advanced practitioners. A Ger
man physician has made an extensive
study of the subject. with clinical ex-
periments, and reaches the conclusion
that in certain cases where the heart
and lungs are engorged with blood
venesection is permissible because of
the speedy relief it gives, often after
other resources have failed.
Deadly toxins are also present in the
blood in some diseases. and venesection
reduces them. Tie lost fluid is replaced
with an injection of salt solution.
Bloodletting affords relief to the lvid
sufferer from Il distended heart when
every breath il struggle. but its use
has been reduced to an exact science.
and it is regarded in medicine as 4
final resort for giving ease in COM
paratively restricted group of ailments.
The days when it was a cure-all, ad-
ministered by the corner barber as we'll
rs every physician, have disappeared
into the past.-New York Press.
