A Cure for Sleeplessness.
I venture to send you a remedy for sleeplessness which during thirty years I have found almost infallible in inducing a pleasant, healthy slumber. I get up, put on a few loose garments, and go through slow swinging movements of my arms and body until, in from five to twenty minutes, I feel drowsy and tired. I make about ten movements of each kind,'and do not always hp-ve to repeat them. If my sleeplessness arises from over-fatigue I lie awake until my body is rested before going throngh the motions. My idea is that the sleeplessness is caused immediately by congestion of blood around the brain, and I therefore prefer motions which are swinging and centrifugal.-—Spectator.
