A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

DURING the past few years numerous monographs have appeared from time to time portraying the evil consequences upon the brain of long continued loss of sleep; among the most recent is the little book with the attractive title of 'Brain Rest'. It has. at least the merit of originality, especially in the plan of treatment proposed. In brief terms, loss of sleep may be caused by cerebral hyperæmia or its opposite condition of anæmia. For the relief of the former, the condition most frequently met with. the author has invented an instrument which he calls the 'carotid truss.' and which, by producing pressure upon the corotid arteries, diminishes the blood-supply to the brain. Of course this instrument can only be applied by a competent physician, and the patient should never be left alone while it is in position. During the compression by the truss. the electric current is applied to the sympathetic and pneumogastric nerves. For the opposite condition, Dr. Corning relies mainly upon internal remedies, baths, etc. The author writes with the earnestness of an enthusiast, his style is attractive and forcible, and the reader cannot fail to become interested in the numerous causes so common in every-day life, which serve to bring about the condition which calls for ‘Brain Rest.’ Another work on the same subject is 'Insomnia and other Disorders of Sleep.'
