EATING TO SLEEP.
“It is believed, and in many cases it is unfortunately true, that food taken at liedtime will dispose a person to sleep. The food selected for this purpose is usually milk, or some semi-fluid concoction in which milk is the main ingredient. The majority of people decline to regard milk as a food having nutritive value; they insist that it is merely a beverage, which comforts without fattening “or inebriating, which nevertheless is paradoxically endowed with the inestimable quality of keeping ud the strength. AYhen a person who suffers from sleeplessness pro-
claims the fact loudly from the hearthrug, which appears to be the fashion among insomniacs, he is in reality advertising his gluttony.”—Dr Leonard AYilliams.
