POPULAR MEDICINE
BY DR.. HIRSHDERG
Intelligent Observation of Rules
of Hygiene Will De-
crease Illness.
BY DIR. LEONARD X. HIRsHBERG.

Do you feel sleepy after you have
eaten your flI7 Some individuals
have an irresistible, certainly an i'm
perious, desire to sleep after eating.
"Narcolepsy" is the term applied to-
this condition by DIR. Gelineau.
Various investigators have tried to
explain the sudden impelling drowsi-
ness which recurs whenever the stom-
ach is full.
DR.. Cotton, of Paris. says that a
sleepy feeling after eating is trace
able to some disorder of the stomach,
particularly OF the muscle walls OF
that structure. To confirm this de-
scription of the condition, he tells of
number of persons, especially sub
Ject to this acute somnolency even
after a light, small meal is eaten.
Sleep Comes Suddenly.
The desire to sleep comes on very
abruptly. Sometimes it is distinctly
pathological and constitutes a source
OF danger to the victim himself.
There is a patient, Gong Lee, a China
man.
Gong Lee had just finished a bowl
OF chow main and began to iron.
Drowsiness overcame him him so sud
denly IL could not be resisted. He
dropped the hot iron on his foot and
the burn was so severe the member
had to be amputated.
Another typical case Is that OF a
hod carrier who could not ward of
acute somnolence as he lugged his
mortar and bricks up a ladder. Sleep
overcame him before he had gone
far and he fell to earth like an cpl
lepticR seriously injuring himself and
another laborer.
Notwithstanding the close similarity
between this imperious impulse to fall
asleep after a meal and an epileptT-
form absence" of the fit or CONFUSION
of epilepsy, it is not related to the
falling sickness,
Result of Full Meal.
The snooze may last only a few min-
utes and the sufferers awakes wholly
refreshed and invigorated. On the
other hand, there may be no real
sound sleep, because the occupation
and duties of the person demands i'm
mediate attention after eating.
However that may be. research
workers seem now fairly well agreed
that some sort of gastric disturbance,
kind OF motor deficiency of the
stomach. has a role in this ailment.
Drowsiness of this type is not linn
tied to fat men and women. Jack
Spratts and Peter Schlemickls, scarce
" more than skin and bones them
selves. are often found guilty after
dinner.
Narcolepsy is durable. a stomach
ANALYSIS with treatment to make up
the muscular defects often suffices. A
proper diet and a system of compen-
satory gymnastics and outdoor exer-
cises work wonders.
