{ Sleep.
Dr. J. Menli-IIilty, recommends a
sition during sleep in which the feet will
be. elevated about eight inches; the habit
caufbe easily formed if the. pvocccxs is un-
dertaken gradually-«the pillows being
taken from beneath the head and placed
under the feet. Many years experience
with this method of sleeping convinced
the writer that‘ the circulation is im-
proved and better nutrition for the bran
and it; rvcs obtained. As the thyroid
gland acts as a regulator for the distri-
: bution of the blood, no undue Conges-
\tiun of the brain nred be apprehended.
He recommends his method for nervous

Away to the sunset sky,

And up through the rifts of gold,

And forms that were dear of old.
And the dismal vea :s sweep backward
Their burden of woe and pain.
