It was considered so valuable that a large sum had to 1)6 paid for it for publication by Mr. Binns in bis quaint book, now almost unknown, entitled "The Anatomy of Sleep." The prescription as therein printed is as follows: The person who after going to bed finds himself sleepless is to lie on his right aide, with bis head comfortably placed on the pillow, having his neck straight so that respiration may be un impeded. Let him then close bis lips slightly and take a rather full inspira tion, breathing throngh the nostrils un less breathing through the mouth is habitual. Having taken the full inspira tion, the lung are to be left to their own action; that is, expiration la not to be interfered with. Attention must now be fixed upon the respiration. The person must imagine that he sees the breath passing from bis nostrils in a continuous stream, and at the instant that he brings his mind to conceive this. apart from all other ideas, consciousness leaves him and he fulls asleep. Some times it happens that the method does not at once succeed. It should then be persevered In. Let the person take thirty or forty full inspiration and pro ceed as before; but he must by no means attempt to count the respirations, for if he does the mere counting will keep him from sleep. , It Is certainly to be aaid of this nlan that it is safe and can easily be tested.
